  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

  • Weitzel Delivered at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 15, 2002
    Major-General Godfrey Weitzel Delivered at Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 15, 2002. By David L. Mowery Copyright 2002 David Mowery & Cincinnati Civil War Round Table In 1953, John Cronin, the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer wrote: “Cincinnati’s affinity to her river has been an influence on the lives of many of her sons. But in none was this influence more closely allied to his role of distinction than in the career of Godfrey Weitzel.” Even though Major-General Godfrey Weitzel had a distinguishing career in the Union army during the American Civil War, the mark he left on the civil engineering world was equally impressive. (1) Godfrey was born to Ludwig and Susanna Weitzel on November 1, 1835, in the town of Winzlen in the state of Rheinpfalz, Germany. When Susanna became pregnant again a few months later, the family immigrated to the United States, where Ludwig hoped to make his fortune. They immediately settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. In order to avoid the discrimination that fellow Americans showed toward German immigrants, Ludwig and Susanna claimed that their son had been born in Cincinnati. Even Godfrey did not reveal the truth about his heritage until late in his life, after public resentment toward the German-American community had faded. Henry and Kate Ford, who published a short biography of Godfrey Weitzel while he was still alive, cited the following evidence: “That Weitzel is a German by birth is proved by the fact that he is a member of the German Pioneer society of Cincinnati, to which only German natives are admitted.” (2) Within weeks after the Weitzels arrived in the city in 1836, Godfrey’s brother, Louis Weitzel, Jr., was born.

  • Arlington National Cemetery Ord and Weitzel Gate Relocation
    Arlington National Cemetery Ord and Weitzel Gate Relocation _______________ Submitted by the Department of the Army, Army National Cemeteries Concept Review Project Information Commission meeting date: September 4, 2015 NCPC review authority: 40 USC 8722 (b)(1) Applicant request: concept design review Delegated / consent / open / executive session: delegated NCPC Review Officer: Hart NCPC File number: 7708 Project summary: The Army submitted a proposal to relocate a gate at Arlington National Cemetery. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, this gate was one of the main entrances into the cemetery. This gate is comprised of two columns that were taken from the north portico of the neoclassical War Department buildings that once stood next to the White House. These buildings were constructed between 1818 and 1820, but were scheduled for demolition in 1879 to make way for the Old Executive Office Building. Brigadier General Montgomery Meigs arranged to have the stonework and columns removed and reinstalled in Arlington Cemetery. Army Corps of Engineers provided plans and specs for two new gateways based on Meigs design. These became the Ord and Weitzel Gate and the Sheridan Gate. Major General Edward Ord was an American engineer and United States Army officer who saw action in the Seminole War, the Indian Wars, and the American Civil War. He commanded an army during the final days of the Civil War, and was instrumental in forcing the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He also designed Fort Sam Houston. He died in Havana, Cuba of Yellow fever. (Wikipedia) Major General Godfrey Weitzel was in the Union Army during the American Civil War, as well as the acting Mayor of New Orleans during the Union occupation of the city.

  • ENTRY of the UNITED STATES FORCES Into RICHMOND, VA
    The City was, on this day, occupied by the United States Forces, and the Council did not, therefore, meet. --APRIL 3, 1865 MINUTES OF RICHMOND CITY COUNCIL RRIICCHHMMOONNDD OOCCCCUUPPIIEEDD ENTRY of THE UNITED STATES FORCES into RICHMOND, VA. April 3, 1865 CALLING TOGETHER OF THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE AND REVOCATION OF THE SAME by GODFREY WEITZEL Major, Corps of Engineers AND Brevet Major General, United States Army EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION by Louis H. Manarin Library of Congress Card Number 65-20413 8165 • 1965 • 5C 2 PREFACE From that early day in May, 1607, when Captains John Smith and Christopher Newport landed at "The Falls," the City of Richmond has become rich in the history of Virginia and of the United States. In the formative years of the colony, Richmond served as a frontier trading post and river port. Colonel William Byrd established Richmond as a City in 1737. Through the Colonial Period the young city flourished. It was in Richmond that Patrick Henry sounded his famous call of "liberty or death." The City was under attack and partially burned during the Revolutionary War. Again, in the War of 1812, the British unsuccessfully attempted to capture the City. It was , however, during the War Between the States--1861-1865--that Richmond became the most notable City in the divided nation and in the world. Being the Capital of the Confederacy and of Virginia, Richmond was the center of activity for the governments, the armies, and the production of munitions. For four long years Richmond withstood capture until that fateful day in April 1865 when it finally became necessary to evacuate the City.

  • Decoding the Weitzel Telegram
    Decoding the Weitzel Telegram Snapshot: In this activity, students practice using the Union coding (cipher) system to decode a telegram sent by President Abraham ​ Lincoln to Major General Godfrey Weitzel. The activity includes five parts and can be completed in one class period (about 50 minutes). Materials: ● Encoded Weitzel telegram ● Weitzel telegram in ledgerbook form ● Weitzel telegram de-routed in ledgerbook ● Weitzel telegram with arbitraries replaced ● Weitzel telegram images including Weitzel telegram memo written by Lincoln ● Blank grid needed to record the coded telegram message ● Stationary to write the final decoded message Activity overview for teachers This activity includes five steps in which students will decode a telegram message sent by President Lincoln to Major General Godfrey Weitzel and compare it to the original handwritten message from Lincoln. Students will likely need background information on the Union telegraph operating system and the methods for encoding secret telegrams (see background section below). To begin the activity, students will receive a coded version of the Weitzel telegram. The coded telegram begins, “Whats next news I the prayers I to while coming star what you you mean dispatch zebra.” Of course, this text makes no sense! That was the goal for the Union cipher system. Students will transfer the garbled coded text onto a blank grid, carefully writing each word in a separate box. This is precisely what a telegraph operator would have done when receiving an encoded message. Next, students will use the Union codebook to decode and rewrite the telegram. This will involve following specific routing instructions found in the codebook and replacing “arbitraries,” which were random words that replaced real words in the telegram message used to further confuse someone who might have intercepted the message.

Like many other Civil War soldiers, Mickly re-enlisted for service after his stint with the 177th ended, becoming chaplain of the 43rd Regiment, United States Colored Troops. Impressed with the educational progress and courage of the black soldiers he served with, Mickly wrote a history of the 43rd Regiment.
