  • Generalsecond Bullrun Campaign Under Pope That the Whole Corps Had to Be Detached from the Army of the Potomac for Rest and Recuperation
    PITTSBURGH VOLUNTEERS WITH SICKLES' EXCELSIOR BRIGADE Bruce Sutherland PART 3 Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville Heintzelman's Third Corps had been so badly mauled in the battles on the Peninsula under McClellan and in the GeneralSecond BullRun campaign under Pope that the whole Corps had to be detached from the Army of the Potomac for rest and recuperation. The three divisions of the Corps were assigned to that quiet sector known as the Defenses of Washington. General Hooker's old division, the Second, was placed temporarily under the command of General Grover while Colonel Nelson Taylor commanded the Excelsior Brigade, subject to General Sickles' return. Early in September 1862, the Excelsior regiments were en- camped about two miles southwest of Alexandria near Fort Lyon. They had fallen back from the Chantilly battlefield and as William Wiley of the Friend Rifles describes it, "We only went a short dis- tance beyond that field when we again laid on our arms, and it was raining and very cold. No sleeping was done that night. The next morning we got a loaf of bread and started off again towards Fairfax and then left itand went out scouting through the country until dark when we camped again on a beautiful farm and where we lived well for that night on corn, potatoes and apples. At daylight, the morning of the 3rd, we were on the move towards Alexandria ... J>1 The column moved through thickly wooded country toward the Potomac at Pohick Church and by early afternoon the troops were on the river road which skirted Mount Vernon.

  • The Excelsior Brigade and the Civil War
    To Bleed for a Higher Cause: The Excelsior Brigade and the Civil War Francis Butler History 390: Honors New York and the Civil War December 4, 2012 Butler 1 Joseph Hopkins Twichell, the Chaplain of the Excelsior Brigade, wrote that as he saw the destruction caused during the Battle of Williamsburg all he could think was, “’sin entered into the world and death through sin.”1 The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American history; it was a war that claimed the lives of nearly 700,000 Americans and came close ripping the nation asunder.2 Describing why men volunteered to fight and die during this bloody war, Abraham Lincoln stated that the Civil War soldier served because of his “patriotism, political bias, ambition, personal courage, love of adventure, [and] want of employment.”3 Indeed, during the Civil War, the armies of the Union and the Confederacy were fed most often by volunteers. It were these men who enlisted at the war’s inception, and reenlisted when their terms of service expired, who did most of the fighting and dying on the Civil War’s many sanguine battlefields. As James McPherson states, internal motivations such as patriotism, a sense of duty and honor, courage, moral convictions, or want of adventure had to be powerful inspirations for the Civil War soldier to volunteer since the majority of Civil War soldiers chose to fight. 4 Once in the army, Civil War soldiers were continually motivated and supported by the bonds that they shared with each other, by their Christian faith, and by the inspiration of brave officers.5 By analyzing who the men of New York’s Excelsior Brigade, comprised of the 70th through 74th New York volunteer regiments, were and what they experienced during the war, it is possible to understand how patriotism, duty, and faith inspired soldiers to serve and how faith, camaraderie, courage, connection to home, and inspiring leadership enabled these soldiers to 1 Joseph Hopkins Twichell to Edward Twichell, May 9, 1862, , The Civil War Letters of Joseph Hopkins Twichell, eds.

    BATTLE-SCARRED AND DIRTY: US ARMY TACTICAL LEADERSHIP IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER, 1942-1943 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steven Thomas Barry Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Allan R. Millett, Adviser Dr. John F. Guilmartin Dr. John L. Brooke Copyright by Steven T. Barry 2011 Abstract Throughout the North African and Sicilian campaigns of World War II, the battalion leadership exercised by United States regular army officers provided the essential component that contributed to battlefield success and combat effectiveness despite deficiencies in equipment, organization, mobilization, and inadequate operational leadership. Essentially, without the regular army battalion leaders, US units could not have functioned tactically early in the war. For both Operations TORCH and HUSKY, the US Army did not possess the leadership or staffs at the corps level to consistently coordinate combined arms maneuver with air and sea power. The battalion leadership brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality. Many US officers shared the same ―Old Army‖ skill sets in their early career. Across the Army in the 1930s, these officers developed familiarity with the systems and doctrine that would prove crucial in the combined arms operations of the Second World War. The battalion tactical leadership overcame lackluster operational and strategic guidance and other significant handicaps to execute the first Mediterranean Theater of Operations campaigns. Three sets of factors shaped this pivotal group of men. First, all of these officers were shaped by pre-war experiences.

In the first skirmish, also known as the Battle of Burr Oak Grove, on 16 JUN, Illinois militia forces fought against a band of at least 80 Native Americans. During the battle three militia men under the command of Adam W. Snyder were killed in action. The second battle occurred nine days later when a larger Sauk and Fox band, under the command of Black Hawk, attacked Major John Dement's detachment and killed five militia men. The second battle is known for playing a role in Abraham Lincoln's short career in the Illinois militia. He was part of a relief company sent to the grove on 26 JUN and he helped bury the dead. He made a statement about the incident years later which was recollected in Carl Sandburg's writing, among others. Sources conflict about who actually won the battle; it has been called a "rout" for both sides. The battle was the last on Illinois soil during the Black Hawk War. Jun 16 1861 – Civil War: Battle of Secessionville » A Union attempt to capture Charleston, South Carolina, is thwarted when the Confederates turn back an attack at Secessionville, just south of the city on James Island.

  • Third Regiment
    HISTORY OF THE THIRD REGIMENT EXCELSIOR BRIGADE 72d New York Volunteer Infantry COMPILED BY HENRI LE FEVRE BROWN SERGEANT COMPANY B. 1902 JOURNAL PRINTING CO., JAMESTOWN, Nm Ye 1902. INTRODUCTION. In preparing this history the official war records have been carefully searched for all material that could in any way contribute to a full understanding of the events ner- rated. Wherever possible battles and movements have been described in the language of official reports. In some cased, als in that of Williamsburg, the same engagement is described in several such papers, written by the command- ers of the regiment, the brigade and the division, with often a brief recognition of the service of the reginlent from still higher. sourws. Orders, reports and extracts bearing on this history are given word for word as writhen, and in many cases, witl?~.outother explanations of the events referred to. Promotions and changes of command are announced in general orders. In this way the experience of the regi- ment will be more rea.dily followed than if the narrative were cumbered with unimportant details. There czn be no questlion that many officers and men not mentioned i11 this history by name, were equally worthy, and perha.ps more worthy of notice than those whose nalmes and deeds are here given. In view of tlhe impossibility of doing exact justice to all, the rule has beell followed to make honorable mention only of those alreadp named in official records. All regimental papers have been examined in detail. The personal diary of the compiler has been compared with that of the chaplain for all rrlovements since January 1, 1863, and differences have been reconciled to the satisfaction OF both.

The stars fell on the following men of the 517 PIR who epitomized in war and peace those qualities which led to the remarkable careersdepicted here. The 'first love' of the general officers shown here was with the 517. It was and still is a bittersweet, fierce love which has burned brightly for thirty odd years. Affection, respect, pride and the sharing of danger during the savageryof combat in Italy, France, Belgium and Germany cemented this life-long sentiment. Included in this illustrious group are Lt.

Since then I have had the good fortune to command hundreds of thousands of outstanding soldiers. As I reflect in my mind's eye on the galaxy of men and units with whom I have served, I always return to that gallant, hell-raising, heroic band of troopers that gathered together in Camp Toccoa and Fort Benning to form the 5l7th ParachuteInfantry Regiment.
