The Photographic History
of The Civil War
In Ten Volumes
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The publishers desire to express in this final volume a particular obligation to members of the special editorial force which
has carried the Photographic History to completion. It was impossible for the staff of the Review of Reviews, at the beginning
of the undertaking, to estimate its extent. To construct ten large volumes, to avoid controversy throughout, yet to obtain an
unique comprehensiveness by a concentration of interest on the particular war-time activity treated in each volume separately —
this involved a new departure in editorial effort. Even with the cordial cooperation of many distinguished contributors, the
task — as a result of the novelty of the plan — far exceeded expectations, and called for a high degree of discrimination, application,
and resource. These calls have been met most faithfully. Special mention is due George L. Kilmer, late U. S. V., Militarj- Editor,
whose lifelong devotion to the literature and records of the Civil War has endowed him with a sympathy, and an exact knowledge
of events, that have rendered of utmost value his critical reading of both text and captions. From Mr. George H. Casamajor,
Historical Editor, the text has received a minute scrutiny in manuscript and proof, coupled with painstaking historical research
and investigation, imparting in no small degree its accuracy of statement and harmony of narrative. Mr. Herbert T. Wade, as
Ijiterary Editor, has developed and organized the text, from the initial extensive correspondence and negotiations in the obtaining
of adequate contributions, to seeing the pages through the press. One and all have cooperated unsparingly, with many personal
sacrifices. No small stimulus has come from the actuality of the photographic collection which the text seeks to complement.
And all have felt the inspiration of this opportunity — to present the immense facts of Civil War bravery and tragedy in a torm
that is sympathetic and universal.
Thanks are due to many friends who have supplied rare and valuable photographs since the acknowledgments in Volume I
went to press: Gen. G. W. C. Lee, C. &. A.; Col. E. F. Austin; R. B. Breen; Berry Benson, C. S. A.; Miss Sarah A. Smyth; W. H.

ROBERT E. LEE WITH FORMER UNION AND CONFEDERATE LEADERS
AFTER THE ARMIES' WORK WAS DONE
By great good fortune tliis unique j)hotograph, taken at White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, in August,
1869, was preserved more than forty years by a Confederate veteran of Riehmond, Mr. James
Blair, through whose courtesy it appears here — to sound the key-note of this volume as no preface
could. Such a fraternal gathering could have been paralleled after no other great war in history.
For in this neighborly group, side by side, are bitter foemen of not 6ye years past. Near the un-
mistakable figure of Lee stands Lew Wallace, the commander who in 1864 had opposed Lee's lieu-
tenant— Early — at the Monocacy ; the division leader who at Shiloh, first grand battle of the war, had
fired on the lines in gray commanded by the dashing Confederate general who now touches him on
the right — Beauregard. To the left stand Connor and Geary, formerly generals of opposing forces
in the Carolinas. There is the tall "Prince John" Magruder, the venerable Henry A. Wise, and
other one-time leaders of the Gray. And for a further touch of good citizenship, there is added the
distinguished presence of George Peabody of Massachusetts, and W. W. Corcoran of Washington —
philanthropists of the noblest tyjje, but not alone in this group "as having helped their fellow men."

AFTER THE GREAT MASS MEETING IN UNION SQUARE, NEW YORK, APRIL 20, 1861
Knots of citizens still linger around the stands where Anderson, who had abandoned Sumter only six days
before, had just roused the multitude to wild enthusiasm. Of this gathering in support of the Go\'ernment
the New York Herald said at the time: "Such a mighty uprising of the people has never before been witnessed
in New York, nor throughout the whole length and breadth of the Union. Five stands were erected, from
which some of the most able speakers of the city and state addressed the multitude on the necessity of
rallying around the flag of the Republic in this hour of its danger. A series of resolutions was proposed and
unanimously adopted, pledging the meeting to use every means to preserve the Union intact and inviolate.
Great unanimity prevailed throughout the whole proceedings; party politics were ignored, and the en-
tire meeting — speakers and listeners — were a unit in maintaining the national honor unsullied. Major Ander-
son, the hero of Fort Sumter, was present, and showed himself at the various stands, at each of Avhich he was
most enthusiastically received. An impressive feature of the occasion was the flag of Sumter, hoisted on
the stump of the staff that had been shot away, placed in the hand of the equestrian statue of Washington."

RECRUITING ON BROADWAY, 1861
PATRIOT PUB. CO.
Looking north on Broadway
from "The Park" (later
City Hall Park) in war
time, one sees the Stars and
Stripes waving above the
recruiting station, past
whifh the soldiers stroll.
There is a convenient booth
with liquid refi-eshments.
To the right of the picture
the rear end of a street car is
visible, but passenger travel
on Broadway itself is by
stage. On the left is the
Astor House, then one of
the foremost hostelries of
the city. In the lower pho-
tograph the view is from the
balcony of the Metropolitan
looking north on Broadway.
The twin towers on the left
are those of St. Thomas's
Church. The lumbering
stages, with the deafening
noise of their rattling win-
dows as they drive over the
cobblestones, are here in
force. INIore hoop-skirts
are retreating in the dis-
tance, and a gentleman in
the tall hat of the period
is on his way down town.
Few of the buildings seen
here remained half a cen-
tury later. The time is sum-
mer, as the a^vnings attest.
THE WAB'S GREAT "CITIZEN" AT HIS MOMENT OF TRIUMPH
Just behind the round table to the right, rising head and shoulders above the distinguished bystanders, grasping his manuscript in both
hands, stands Abraham Lincoln. Of all the occasions on which he talked to his countrymen, this was most significant. The time and
place marked the final and lasting approval of his political and military policies. Despite the bitter opposition of a majority of the
Northern political and social leaders, the people of the Northern States had renominated Lincoln in June, 1864. In November, en-
couraged by the victories of Farragut at Mobile, Sherman in Georgia, and Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley, they had reelected him
President of the United States by an electoral vote of 212 to 21. Since the election, continued Northern victories had made certain the

speedy termination of the war. Not long since, his opponents had been so numerous and so powerful that they fully expected to prevent
his renomination. Lincoln him,self, shortly after liis renomination, had come to believe that reelection was improbable, and had ex-
pressed himself as ready "to cooperate with the President-elect to save the Union." Yet neither in Lincoln's demeanor nor in his
inaugural address is there the slighest note of personal exultation. For political and military enemies alike he has " malice toward
none; charity for all." Indeed the dominant feeling in his speech is one of sorrow and sympathy for the cruel sufferings of both North
and South. Not only in the United States, but throughout the civilized world, the address made a profound and immediate impression.
INTRODUCTION
SOLDIERS AND CITIZENS
"/^ RANT at Appomattox — Lee at Gettysburg — those are
^--T the men for me! " Thus exclaimed a long-time writer
on military matters, after the contemplation of certain portraits
that follow these pages. His criticism halted before the colossal
moral qualities of the two war leaders — the generosity that con-
sidered the feelings of the conquered general as well as the
private soldiers' need of horses " for the spring plowing — the
nobility that, after Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, promptly
shouldered all the responsibility.
Those heights of character, as chronicled in the pages that
follow and in other volumes of this History, are heroic, uni-
versal. They surpass the bounds of any period or nation ; they
link America with the greatness of the ages. If they, together
with the sacrifice and fortitude of thousands more among the
" Armies and Leaders," are made to live more vividly for those
who study the narrative and portraits of this volume, and the
nine volumes preceding it, their publication will indeed have
been justified.
The personal inspiration of the war pictures centers, natu-
rally, in the portraits and groups. Several hundred of them are
presented in the pages following. Study of them soon re-
veals a difi'erence between soldier and non-combatant, as ex-
pressed in bearing and cast of countenance. It is astonish-
ing how accurately, after examining a number of the war
photographs of every descrijDtion, one may distinguish in

many cases between fighters and non-combatants. This is
true, even when the latter are represented in full army over-
coats, with swords and the like, as was customary to some
extent with postmasters, quartermasters, commissariat and
hospital attendants.
The features are distinctive of the men who have stood up
inider fire, and undergone the even severer ordeal of submis-
sion to a will working for the common good, involving the sacri-
fice of personal independence. Their dignity and quiet self-
confidence are obscured neither by the extreme growth of facial
hair fashionable in the sixties, nor by the stains of marching
and camj^ing. Where the photograj^h " caught " the real sol-
diers under any circumstances of dress or undress, health or
disease, camp-ease, or wounds that had laid the subjects low,
the stamp of discipline stands revealed.
The young ofl^cers' portraits aff'ord particularly interest-
ing study. The habit of quick decision, the weighing of re-
sponsibilities involving thousands of human lives which has
become a daily matter, like the morning and evening train-
catching of the modern business commuter — these swift and
tremendous affairs are borne with surprising calmness upon
the young shoulders.
To represent in some coherent form the men of Civil War
time, this volume has been set aside. It becomes highly desir-
able to the fundamental plan of this history.
The first three volumes, devoted to narrative in the largest
sense, and to scenes, could present portraits only of officers and
men connected with particular operations. Each of the next
six volumes, occupied as it is with a special phase of war-time
activity — cavalry, artillery, prisons and hospitals, or the like

— naturally emphasizes, in its personal mentions and por-
trayals, the men of the respective specialties.
The editors, therefore, determined to devote an entire vol-
imie to the consideration of the personnel of the Union and
Confederate armies. But in this field, vaster than most of the
i:)resent generation have imagined, even a book as extensive as a
volume of the Photographic History can be no more than
suggestive.
Consider the typical fighting man on the Union side alone
— the brevet brigadier-general, or the colonel, often deserving
of promotion to that rank. When it is reflected that the rank
of brevet brigadier-general was conferred upon eleven hundred
and seventy Federal officers who never attained the full rank,
and that the colonels who displayed conspicuous gallantry num-
bered as many, jjerhaps twice as many, more, it is evident that
the editors of the Photographic History, in presenting por-
traits of more than three hundred of the generals, by brevet,
have made this feature of the work as comprehensive as possi-
ble. To exhaust the list of such officers would require a sepa-
rate volume.
Consistency, likewise, would demand at least another vol-
ume for colonels. But who would undertake to decide what
^Darticular thousand among the upward of ten thousand claim-
ants among this rank should have a place in the gallery of fame ?
And if gallant colonels, why not the equally gallant lieutenant-
colonels, majors, and caj)tains, who at times commanded regi-
ments ?
That there are limitations is evident. The nature of the
work decides its scope to a large degree. The war-time camera
has been the arbiter. Here and there it caught the colonel as

^^•ell as the general, the captain as well as the colonel, and the
private as well as the captain. On the whole, its work was well
halanced, marvelously so, and the results are before the readers
of the Photographic History.
If so slight a proportion can be shown of the men dis-
tinguished for their fighting, it obviously becomes impossible,
even should the ten volumes consist of portraits alone,
to represent adequately the soldiers whose fame has come
since 1865.
INlerely to suggest the function of the Civil War as a school
of citizenship, portraits are presented with this introduction of
six soldiers who became President; of a group like Grenville
]M. Dodge, Harrison Gray Otis, and Thomas T. Eckert, who
helped to develop American material resources; together with
several, such as Henry Watterson, Carl Schurz, George E.
AVaring, Jr., and Francis A. Walker, whose influence has put
much of our journalism and jjublic life on a higher plane.
As these lines are penned, no less than four Civil War sol-
diers— two Union, two Confederate — are serving as members
of the highest American tril)unal — the Su^^reme Court : — Chief
Justice White and Justice Lurton (Confederate) ; Justices
Harlan and Holmes (Union). Ex-Confederates again have
been found in the cabinets of both Republican and Democratic
Presidents, as well as in the National Congress.
But inmiense indeed would be the literary enterprise un-
dertaldng to cover all the results in American civic life of Civil
"War training. There have been State governors by the hun-
dreds who could look back upon service with the armies.
There have been members of legislatures by the tens of thou-

sands. And the private soldiers — hundreds of thousands of
them, mere boys when they enhsted to fight through the four
years, expanded into im2)ortant citizens of their communities,
as a direct result of their service in the Blue and the Gray.
The youths of eighteen or nineteen, who rushed to the
defense of their flag in 1861, lacked, as most boys do, some
notable phenomenon, blow, catastrophe to fire their imagina-
tions and give them confidence in themselves. Without such
inspiration their highest destiny would have fallen far short
of fulfilment.
But those same youths who survived to the sumnier of
1865 — how differently they stood! — erect, with arms well hung,
with quiet dignity, with the self-assurance learned from years
of quick decision and unhesitating following of duty through
danger.
If, for instance, one should study the careers of those
countless thousands of fearless sheriffs who have kept order in
communities throughout the country, after service under the
Stars and Stripes or the Stars and Bars, it would become over-
whelmingly apparent that without such training in resolution
and resourcefulness, most of the men who were young in 1861
could possibly have become village constables — no more.
The leading biographies in this volume have naturally been
left free from the editorial scrutiny that has aimed to render the
test throughout the largest part of the Photographic His-
TOiiY as detached and impersonal as possible. The value, for
instance, of the chapter on Grant, by Colonel W. C. Church,
lies not only in the trained military criticism of technical opera-
tions by the veteran editor of the Arini/ and Navy Journal,
but also in the' author's personal acquaintance with the Union

Nor was it to be expected or desired that Professor Wil-
liam P. Trent, a writer and scholar Southern born, should fail
to emphasize the lofty j^ersonal traits of his hero, Lee; or that
Mr. Allen C. Redwood, whose rare j^rivilege it was to " fight
with ' Stonewall,' " should not portray his honest and frank
admiration for the most surprising military genius developed
by the Civil War.
Particularly gratifying to the humanist is the sketch of Sher-
man, written from the standpoint of the most sympathetic dis-
crimination by a Southern historical student — Professor Walter
L. Fleming, of the Louisiana State University.
Two groups of portraits accompanying this introduction
show veterans of the LTnion and Confederacy who, by great for-
tune, are numbered among those few spared in life, health, and
activity of pen throughout the half -century since 1861 ; and who

its conception of guiding imj^ersonality, would have lacked

GRANT
DURING THE WILDERNESS CAMPAIGN, 1864
WHEN GRANT LOST AN ARMY BUT SAVED A NATION
GRANT ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN— 1863
Wearing epaulets and a sword — quite unusual for him — but calm and imperturbable as of old, with his crumpled army hat, plain blouse,
his trousers tucked into his boot-tops, and the inevitable cigar, Ulysses S. Grant stands at a historic spot. Less than a week before,
when the Union soldiers under Thomas, still smarting from their experience at Chickamauga, stood gazing at the Confederate works
behind which rose the crest of Missionary Ridge, the Stars and Stripes were thrown to the breeze on the crest of Lookout Mountain.
Eager hands pointed, and a great cheer went up from the Army of the Cumberland. They knew that the Union troops with Hooker
had carried the day in their "battle above the clouds." That was the 25th of November, 1863; and that same afternoon the soldiers

ULYSSES SIMPSON GRANT
By William Conant Church
Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, United States Volunteers
THE man of all men Avho knew General Grant best, his
friend and chief ally. General W. T. Sherman, declared
that Grant more nearly than any other man impersonated the
American character of 1861-65, and was the typical hero of
onr great Civil War,
It is an anomaly of history that a man so distingnished
in war shonld be so nnwarlike in personal characteristics as was
Ulysses Simpson Grant, and so singularly free from the ambi-
tions supposed to dominate the soldier. He sickened at the
sight of blood, was so averse to inflicting pain that, as a lad, he
never enjoyed the boyish sport of killing small animals, and
at no time in his life was he fond of hunting. Indeed, no more
gentle-hearted and kindly man is known to American history,
not excepting Abraham I^incoln.
Numerous circumstances in the life of Grant illustrate
his consideration for others. At Vicksburg, INIississippi, where
over thirty thousand Confederates surrendered to him, Jidy
4, 1863, he directed his exulting troops " to be orderly and
quiet as the paroled prisoners passed " and to make no offensive
remarks. The only cheers heard there were for the defenders
of Vicksburg, and the music sounded was the tune of " Old
Hundred," in which victor and vanquished could join. The
surrender at Appomattox, Virginia, April 9, 1865, was char-
acterized by almost feminine tenderness and tact, and a syiw-
joathetic courtesy toward the conquered so marked that an
observer was moved to ask, " Who's surrendering here, any-
way ;
A simple-hearted country \ax\. disposed to bucolic life, so
GRANT IN 1863— BEFORE THE FIRST OF HIS GREx\T VICTORIES
Grant was described In 1861 as a man "who knows how to do things." In February, 1862, he captured Forts
Henry and Donelson, thus opening the way for a Federal advance up the Tennessee River, and was promptly
commissioned major-general. His experience at Shiloh in April, coupled with failures in official routine
during the Donelson campaign which were not approved by his superiors, left him under a cloud which was
not removed until the capture of Vicksburg, July 4, 1863, revealed capacity of a high order. The govern-
ment's plan of conducting the war was then entrusted to him to work out with practically unlimited power.

iinbelligerent that he never had even a " spat " at West Point,
disi^lajnng no martial qualities except, perhaf)S, in his love of
horses and in their fearless handling, there was in him no
suggestion of the vocation of the soldier. He entered the ]Mil-
itary Academy simply because his father desired that he should
do so, and while there he secretly rejoiced because of the re-
port that Congress was proposing to abolish the academy.
The thought of the girl he left behind was constantly with him
during his cadet course, though this youthful romance ended
in the disillusion which often attends such experiences.
And it was this man, whose jjersonal characteristics were
all so unlike those distinguishing the remorseless conqueror,
" slaughtering men for glory's sake," who was selected from
among the heroes of our great domestic strife for the appella-
tion of " butcher." No one of them less deserved this title, for
none of them accomplished as great results with a less pro-
portionate loss of life. The repulse of Lee at Gettysburg, in
1863, was obtained at a cost of 23,000 casualties — 3155 killed,
14,529 wounded, 5365 missing — and at the end Lee marched
Avitli his army from the field of battle. The more complete
victory at Vicksburg, with the surrender of Pemberton's entire
army of 30,000 men, was obtained by Grant with a casualty
list of only 9362, including about 450 missing.
Heavy as were the losses during the year which preceded
the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, they were
less than the aggregate loss, including " missing," of previous
commanders of the Army of the Potomac in unsuccessful at-
tempts to accomplish the same result in the same field. Grant's
total of killed and wounded was 19,597 less than the average
number killed and injured annually by the railroads of the
United States during the four years ending 1910.
Those who " control the destiny of to-morrow " are those
who are the most apt in learning that, in great matters, it is

BEFORE VICKSBURG
The close-set moiitli, s((uared shoulders and lower-
ing brow in this photograph of Grant, taken in
December, 1862, tell tlie story of the intensity of
his purpose while he was advancing upon Vicks-
burg — only to be foiled by Van Dorn's raid on his
line of communications at Holly Springs. His
grim expression and determined jaw betokened no
respite for the Confederates, however. Six months
later he marched into the coveted stronghold.
This photogi-aph was taken by James Mullen at
Oxford, Mississippi, in December, 1862, just be-
fore Van Dorn's raid balked the general's plans.
AFTER VICKSBURG
This photograph was taken in the fall of 1863,
after the capture of the Confederacy's Gibraltar
had raised Grant to secure and everlasting fame.
His attitude is relaxed and his eyebrows no longer
mark a straight line across the grim visage. The
right brow is slightly arched with an almost jovial
expression. But the jaw is no less vigorous and
determined, and the steadfast eyes seem to be
peering into that future which holds more vic-
tories. He still has Chattanooga and his great
campaigns in the East to fight and the final mag-
nificent struggle in the trenches at Petersburg.

necessary to disregard personal considerations and to keep the
mind ojDen to the suggestions from within ; who are not hhnded
by what has been well described as " the pride of self -derived
intelligence." Grant succeeded because his specially trained
faculties and especially adapted experiences were obedient to
larger suggestions than those of personal ambition and self-
glorification. This explains Grant, as it explains Lincoln and
Washington.
" Sam " Grant, as his colleagues at the JNIilitary Academy
were accustomed to call him, because of the " U. S.," Uncle
Sam, in his name; " ' Sam ' Grant," as one of those same col-
leagues once said, " was as honest a man as God ever made."
Honest, not merely in a pecuniary sense but in all of his men-
tal 2)rocesses, and in this simple honesty of his nature we find
the explanation not only of his greatness but of the^ errors into
which he fell in the attempt to deal with the subtleties of human
selfishness and intrigue. • . ,
It was characteristic of Grant's mental processes that he
always thought on straight lines, and his action was equally
direct and positive. He was not so much concerned with the
subtleties of strategy as with a study of the most direct road
to the opponent's center. One of the chief ^perplexities on the
field of battle is " the fog of war," the difficulty of divining the
movements of the foe, by which your own are to be determined.
Grant was less confused by this than most commanders, keep-
ing his adversary so occupied with his own aggressive move-
ments that he had little opportunity to studj' combinations
against him. He was fertile in expedients; his mind was al-
ways open to the suggestions of oj^portunity, and it was his
habit to postpone decision until the necessity for decision arose.
Grant recognized earlier than others the fact that, if his
own troops were lacking in the military knowledge and train-
ing required to make them a facile instrument in his hands, his
antagonists were no better equipped in this respect. He saw
that the best training for the high-spirited and independent

volunteers he commanded was that of the battlefield. If
action involved risk, inaction was certain to produce discon-
tent and even demoralization, while the fatalities of the camp
were those chiefly to be dreaded, for microbes were more deadly
than bullets. His early successes were due to the application
of his methods to conditions as he found them, without waiting
for their improvement. When he met the battalions of Lee,
then trained and seasoned by three years of war, the struggle
was protracted, but in the end he triumphed through his policy
of vigorous and persistent attack, bringing a contest which had
then extended over three years of inconclusive fighting to a
flnal conclusion in one year.
General Grant was born, April 27, 1822, in a little one-
story cottage on the banks of the Ohio River, at Point Pleas-
ant, Clermont County, Ohio. His grandfather, Captain Noah
Grant, was a Connecticut soldier of the army of the Revolu-
tion who, in 1800, settled on the Connecticut Reservation of
Ohio. His mother, Hannah Simpson, was of a sterling Amer-
ican family of pioneers, noted for integrity, truthfulness, and
sturdy independence of character. She was a noble woman of
strong character, and it was from her that the son inherited his
remarkable capacity for reticence, tempered in him by an oc-
casional relapse into the garrulity of his father. If he was in-
capable of indirection in thought or speech, he could be silent
when speech might betray what he did not wish to have known.
Among his friends, when occasion served, he was a fluent
and interesting talker. He never gossiped, never used profane
or vulgar language, was charitable and generous to a fault,
and considerate in his treatment of all. He was good-natured
and fond of his joke. Uncomplaining self-control was char-
acteristic of both mother and son, as was also equability of
temper and " saving common sense."
To estimate Grant correctly, it is necessary to consider
him apart from the personal influences by which he was swayed.

IN THE Al Tl'MN OF 18(i;{ (IRANTS ( HANGING EXPRESSIONS
Although secure in his fame as the conqueror of Vicksburg, Grant still has the greater part of his destiny to fulfil as he faces
the camera. Before him lie the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and the slow investment of Petersburg. This series
forms a particularly interesting study in expression. At the left hand, the face looks almost amused. In the next the ex-
pression is graver, the mouth close set. The third picture looks plainly obstmate, and in the last tlie stern fighter might
have been declaring, as in the following spring: "I propo.se to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer." The eyes,
first unveiled fully in this fourth view, are the unmistakable index to Grant's stern inflexibility, once his decision was made.
IN THE AUTUMN OF 1864— AFTER THE STRAIN OF THE WILDERNESS CAMPAIGN
Here is a furrowed brow above eyes worn by pain. In the pictures of the previous year the forehead is more smooth, the
expression grave yet confident. Here the expression is that of a man who has won, but won at a liitter cost. It is the memory
of the 50,000 men whom he left in the Wilderness campaign and at Cold Harbor that has lined this brow, and closed still
tighter this inflexible mouth. Again, as in the series above, the eyes are not revealed until the last picture. Then again
flashes the determination of a hero. The great general's biographers say that Grant was a man of symi)athy and infinite
pity. It was the more difficult for him, spurred on to the duty by grim necessity, to order forward the lines in blue that
withered, again and again, before the Confederate fire, but each time weakened the attenuated line which confronted them.
for he was a man of unusual domesticity, and tenacity of friend-
shij) not always distinguished by perspicacity in discerning
character.
To the sincere but unobtrusive piety of his mother, Grant
owed a reverence for religion which he displayed throughout
life and which supjiorted him during that last desperate strug-
gle with death, ending at JNIount ]\IacGregor, New York, on
July 23, 1885. His belief in the invisible powers was the hid-
den current of the great soldier's life. It explains alike his
calmness in victory and his unfaltering courage in defeat.
There was no shock of battle so fierce, no episode of the com-
bat so exciting that could disturb his impassible demeanor.
" I have had many hard experiences in my life," he once said
to the writer, when chatting in front of his camp-fire at Peters-
burg, " but I never saw the moment when I was not confident
that I should win in the end."
If he was not blinded by a sense of his individual im-
portance, there was no lack of self-confidence in Grant. He
had a just estimate of his own abilities and a correct under-
standing, as a soldier, of the work for which his abilities and
experiences had fitted him. If he did not possess what is usu-
ally regarded as the temperament of the soldier, there was no
lack of the training or experience of the soldier. If not a
brilliant student, according to the standards of West Point,
he made a faithful use of the opportunity which that institu-
tion gave him for a military training. In his class-standing
he held a middle place with others of the graduates most dis-
tinguished in our Civil War; a relatively higher place than
Jefferson Davis, James Longstreet, William J. Hardee, and
others of the South; and than Sheridan, Hooker, Buell, and
other leaders of the Northern armies.
No soldier of like rank was more distinguished in the
war with INIexico than Grant, then a lieutenant. It is no small
achievement for a subaltern to be brought into the lime-light
of jjiiblicity, as Grant was by mention in general orders com-
mending him for acts of special distinction in battle, showing
both intelligence and daring.
jSIeeting General Grant not long after his return to mil-
itary life, Henry Villard reported that " there was certainly
nothing in his outward appearance or in his personal ways or
conversation to indicate the great military qualities he pos-
sessed. Firmness seemed to me about the only characteristic
expressed in his features. Otherwise, he was a very plain, un-
pretentious, unimposing person, easily approached, reticent as
a rule, and yet showing at times a fondness for a chat about all
sorts of things. This ordinary exterior, however, made it as
difficult for me, as in the case of Abraham Lincoln, to persuade
myself that he was destined to be one of the greatest arbiters
of human fortunes." Yet Fremont, who saw him at this time,
discovered in him " the soldierly qualities of self -poise, mod-
esty, decision, attention to detail."
Grant had never been brought into contact with men of
public re2)utation and had no influential friends to push his
fortunes when the Civil War opened to him an opportunity.
His skill as a drill-master was discovered by accident, and this
secured an opportunity for him to go to the Illinois capital
with the Galena company he had been drilling. He attracted
the attention of Governor Yates and was given a clerical posi-
tion in the adjutant-general's office in filling out army forms.
When his appointment as colonel to an unruly volunteer regi-
ment followed, he at once gave proof of the education he had
acquired at West Point and his experience of fifteen years'
service in the regular army.
In executing his first orders to take the field, he astonished
his superiors by marching his regiment across country instead
of moving it comfortably by rail. And when the laggards
of the regiment were compelled to march in their stocking feet
[42]
GRANT— ON HIS FIRST TRIP NORTH
The war is over. Grant has received in a magnanimous spirit, rarely paralleled in
history, the surrender of Lee. Here he appears in Philadelphia on his first trip North
after the war. His bearing is that of a man relieved of a vast responsibility, but
with the marks of it still upon him. He is thinner than the full-chested soldier in
the photograph taken in 1863, after the fall of Vicksburg. His dress is careless, as
always, but shows more attention than when he was in the field. He looks out of
the picture with the unflinching eyes that had been able to penetrate the future and
see the wisdom of the plan that proved the final undoing of the Confederacy.

at the hour designated, they learned that " 6 a.m. " with their
new colonel meant six o'clock in the morning. Another revel-
ation came when they first faced him on parade, and their
vociferous demands for a speech were met by the terse reply,
" jNIen, go to your quarters." Thus, in various ways, they
learned from day to day that they were in the hands of a man
who understood the trade of war.
It was precisely because he was a master-workman at his
trade that Grant was able to make his personal qualities effect-
ive when opportunity was given him. He was limited by the
imperfections of the instruments he had at hand and was sub-
jected to criticism accordingly, as at Shiloh, April 6, 1862,
where his failure to protect his camp is explained by a fear lest
a display of apprehension might demoralize troops misled by
the ignorant cry of " spades to the rear," which then filled the
air. They would have regarded defensive measures as an evi-
dence of weakness and cowardice, and confidence is an essential
factor in the management of raw troops, of which both the
armies were then composed. They had at that time advanced
but one stage beyond the condition of an armed mob, only
partially responsive to the skilled handling of the educated and
trained soldier.
Previous to the battle of Pittsburg Landing, as Shiloh
is also called. Grant had given proof of his energy and his
]3romptness in taking the initiative in the occupation of Padu-
cah, Kentucky, September 6, 1861 ; in the comparatively tri-
fling affair at Belmont, JSIissouri, November 7, 1861; and in
his important success in the capture of Fort Donelson on the
Cumberland River, Tennessee, in February, 1862, where he had
the efficient assistance of the gunboats, under Flag-OfRcer
Foote. These successes increased his confidence in himself,
as back came the echo of exultant popular approval when the
country saw how capable this man was of accomplishing great
results Avith troops lacking in arms, equipment, transpor-
tation, and supplies, as well as in organization, but who
[44]
GRANT IN 1865— THE ZENITH OF HIS CAREER
Behind Grant in 18C5 lay all his victories on the field of battle; before him the highest gift within the power of the American people —
the presidency. He says in his memoirs that after Vicksburg he had a presentment that he was to brirg the war to a successful end
and become the head of the nation. Grant's sturdy, persistent Scottish ancestry stood him in good stead. He was a descendant of
Matthew Grant, one of the settlers of Windsor, Connecticut, in 1635, and a man of much importance in the infant colony. His Ameri-
can ancestors were fighting stock. His great-grandfather, Noah Grant, held a military commission in the French and Indian War,
and his grandfather, also named Noah, fought in the Revolution. Henry Ward Beecher summed up the causes of Grant's meteoric
rise from store clerk in 1861, to president in 1869, as follows: "Grant was available and lucky." His dominant trait was determination.
lIjjBB^s (Sraut ^ ^-^^^
comprehended the significance of his foe's weakness in the
same respects.
Grant had learned that if he did not run away his
antagonists were hkely to do so, and he had ascertained the
potency of the formulas with which his name was associated:
" No terms except unconditional and immediate surrender,"
and " I propose to move immediately upon your works." This
met the temper of the time, impatient of strategy and paper
plans and demanding tangible results.
The circumstances which led to Grant's resignation from
the army, July 31, 185-1, however they might have been ex-
j)lained })y those who knew him best, had created a distrust
of him in the minds of his military superiors, Halleck and
JNIcClellan, so that he was left wholly dependent upon works
accomplished for his recognition by the North and at Wash-
ington. He neither sought nor obtained favor from his su-
l)eriors; he made no complaint of insufficient support, as so
many did, but doggedly piu'sued a consistent course of doing
the best he could with what the War Department placed at his
disposal, learning from his successes and profiting by his mis-
takes as well as by those of the foe.
There was one who was superior to this professional dis-
trust of Grant, and that was Abraham I>iincoln. He had found
a man who could accomplish, and the fortune of that man was
thenceforth secure in the hands of the chief executive. After
Shiloh, Grant fully realized that the country had entered upon
a long and desperate struggle, and he shaped his course ac-
cordingly. He drew the line of distinction between friend and
foe more sharply, and, where he found it necessary, directed
his warfare against the property as well as the persons of those
in arms against him, and their abettors. Thus he passed an-
other landmark in his progress to final success.
Another essential lesson was to be learned. That came
when a colonel, December 20, 1862, surrendered his depot of
GRANT IN CHARACTERISTIC POSE, WITH HIS STAFF IN 1864
The indifferent attitude of the general-in-chief is most characteristic. Grant had begun the investment of
Petersburg when this photograph was taken. Around him are the men who had followed him faithfully
through the faith-shaking campaigns of the Wilderness. He never made known his plans for an advance to
anyone, but his calm confidence commvmicated itself to all who listened to him. In the most critical moments
he manifested no perceptible anxiety, but gave his orders with coolness and deliberation. At the left of the
photograph sits General John A. Rawlins, who has foresworn his customary mustache and beard which the
next picture shows him as wearing. He was first aide-de-camp to Grant, then assistant adjutant-general
and chief of staff. Behind Grant, who stands in the center with one hand thrust carelessly into his pocket,
sits Lieutenant Frederick Grant, later major-general in the United States Army. In front of Grant stands
Colonel M. B. Ryan, and on the extreme right sits Colonel Ely S. Parker, military secretary, who was a full-
blooded Indian, a grandnephew of the famous Red Jacket, and chief of the tribes known as the Six Nations.
supplies at Holly Springs and compelled General Grant to sub-
sist his army of thirty thousand men upon the country for two
weeks, his communications with his rear being severed at the
same time hy Forrest's enterprising Confederate cavalry.
Grant was jjreparing to move against Vicksburg at the time,
and the surrender of that place, July 4, 1863, followed a
march overland to its rear from Bruinsburg, April 30, 1863,
without supplies for his troops, other than those obtained from
the country as he advanced. Grant carrying no personal bag-
gage himself but a toothbrush. Sherman, who protested most
vigorously against this hazardous movement, nevertheless later
on applied the lesson it taught him when on his march to the
sea, in 1864, he broke through the hollow shell of the Confed-
eracy and closed it in from the south, while Grant advanced
from the north, and crushed the armies of Lee and Johnston.
The surrender of the Southern armies in April and INIay,
1865, put an end to military activities, to be succeeded by the
contests in the forum of pohtical discussion ; the death of Lincoln
and the succession of Johnson following so immediately upon
the surrender of Lee threw the whole question of the readjust-
ment of political relations between the North and the South into
chaos. In sj^ite of his desire and his effort to keep within the
limitations of his military function. General Grant found him-
self involved in the embittered contests of the reconstruction
period, with which he was not fitted to deal either by tempera-
ment or training.
The politicians and the political activities of the North
had, during the four years of war, been a constant source of
embarrassment to our soldiers striving to conduct war witli
sole reference to success in the field. This had intensified the
soldier's natural distrust of politicians and political methods,
and Grant had never learned the art of which Lincoln was the
supreme master — that of utilizing the selfish ambitions of men
to accomplish great patriotic and public purposes.

when Americans met for the hist
time as foes on the field. Notli-

of the scene inside the McLean

that shows most of the Union
officers present at the conference.
Nine of the twelve men standing

of Lee's surrender, a few days
later. The scene is City Point, in
March, 1865. Grant is sur-

who had served liim so faitlifully.

years later, General Horace Por-
ter recorded with pride that he
loaned General Lee a pencil to
make a correction in the terms.
Colonels William Duff and J. D.
Webster, and General M. R.
Patrick, are the three men who
were not present at the inter-
view. All of the remaining offi-
cers were formally presented to
Lee. General Seth Williams had
been Lee's adjutant when the
latter was superintendent at
West Point some years before the
war. In the lower photograph
General Grant stands between
General Rawlins and Colonel
Bowers. The veins standing out
on the back of his hand are
plainly visible. No one but he
could ha\'e told how calmly the
blood coursed through them dur-
ing the four tremendous years.
During his stormy period of civil administration. Grant
was like a landsman tossing upon an angry sea who makes his
port by virtue of the natural drift of the winds and tides rather
than through his skill in navigation. The policies President
Grant advocated during his two terms of office were sound,
and if he did not show the politician's skill in availing himself
of the varying winds of popular sentiment, he did exhibit a
statesmanlike comprehension of the measures promotive of the
best interests of the country. Refusing to be misled by the
financial heresies of his time, in spite of the fact that they were
advocated by a powerful faction in his own party, he took an
uncompromising stand in his first inaugural in favor of pay-
ing the i^ublic debt in the currency of the world, and vetoed
the bill to increase the issues of the simulacrum of coin, of
merely local value. He reduced taxation and promoted econ-
omy in Government expenditures and reform in the civil
service. He improved the condition of our Indian wards; he
was a sincere friend of JSIexico, against which he had fought
in his youth; he strove to cultivate good relations with the
Orientals, and he established our intercourse with England
upon the firm foundations of the treaty of Washington.
How strange, how eventful, how checkered a career was
this of the chief soldier of the Republic! Thirty-two years of
unconscious preparation for a great career in the bucolic ex-
periences of his youth, in his training at the Military Academy
and in war, followed by seven years of a life which taught the
bitterest lessons of humility and self-abnegation. Next, a
rapid advance to a position which made him during more than
twenty years a chief among those upon whom the attention of
the world was focused; then a further descent into the valley of
misfortune, until the final heroic struggle with the conqueror
of us all once more centered upon him the affectionate interest
of his countrymen and the sympathetic attention of the world,

ROBERT E. LEE
By William P. Trent
Professor of English Literature in Coliimhia University
GENERAL LEE has been the only great man with
whom I have been thrown who has not dwindled upon
a near approach," This is the significant remark of one of his
personal friends, INIajor A. R. H. Ranson of the Confederate
artillery. The present wa'iter, who never had the privilege
of seeing General Lee, finds himself, in a sense, completely
in accord with the veteran staff -officer, since he, too, can say
that of all the great figures in history and literature whom
he has had occasion to study through books, no one has
stood out freer from human imperfections, of whatever sort,
than the man and soldier upon whom were centered the affec-
tions, the admiration, and the hopes of the Southern people
during the great crisis of their history. General Lee is the hero
of his surviving veterans, of his fellow Virginians and South-
erners, of many of those Americans of the North and West
against whom he fought, and of his biographers. He is the
Hector of a still-unwritten Iliad — a fact which the sketch that
follows cannot prove, any more than it can set forth his claims
to military fame in an adequately expert fashion, but to the
truth of which it may perhaps bring a small bit of not valueless
testimony — the testimony of personal conviction.*

"LEE WAS ESSENTIALLY A VIRGINIAN"
OKI Christ Church ;it Alexandria. Virginia. The church attended by both Washington and Lee calls up associations that explain the
reference of General Adams. In 1811, at the age of four, Robert E. Lee removed from Westmoreland County to Alexandria, which
remained his home until he entered West Point, in 182.5. During these years he was gaining his education from private tutors and
devoting himself to the care of his invalid mother. Many p Sunday he passed through the trees around this church, of which Washington
had been one of the first vestrymen, to occupy the pew that is still pointed out to visitors. The town serves to intensify love of Virginia;
here Braddoek made his headquarters before marching against the French, in 1755, with .young George Washington as an aide on liis
staff; and here on April l.'Jth of that year the Governors of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia had met,
in order to determine upon plans for the expedition. In the vicinity were Mount Vernon, the estate of Wasliington, and Arlington,
which remained in the family of Washington's wife. The whole region was therefore full of inspiration for the youthful Lee.
both sides he came of the best stock of his native State, When
he was four years old, his father removed to Alexandria in order
to secure better schooling for the eight children. Later, the old
soldier was compelled to go to the West Indies and the South
in search of health, and it came to pass that Robert, though
a mere boy, was obliged to constitute himself the nurse and
protector of his invalid mother. The beautiful relation thus
established accounts in part for the blended dignity and charm
of his character. It does not account for his choice of a profes-
sion, but perhaps that is sufficiently explained by the genius
for the soldier's calling which he must have inherited from his
father. As with Milton before him, the piety and purity of
his youth were inseparably combined with grace and strength.
He entered West Point in 1825 on an appointment secured
by Andrew Jackson, and he graduated four years later with the
second highest honors of the class and an extraordinarily per-
fect record. Appointed second lieutenant of engineers, he
hastened home to receive the blessing of his dying mother.
Two years later (June, 1831), after work on the fortifications
at Hampton Roads, he was married, at the beautiful estate of
Arlington on the Potomac, to INIary Randolph Custis, grand-
daughter of Washington's wife, a lovely and accomplished
yoimg woman destined to be a fitting helpmeet. As his father-
in-law was wealthy, Lee, who loved country life, must have
been tempted to settle down at Arlington to manage the estate
that would one day f)ass to his wife, but his genuine devotion
to his profession prevailed, and he went on building coast de-
fenses.
In 1834, he was transferred to Washington as first lieu-
tenant assisting the chief engineer of the army. He was thus
enabled to live at Arlington, but, while in no sense of the term
a society man, he also saw something of life at the capital.
Three years later he was sent West to superintend work on the
upper jMississipi)i. His plans Avere approved and well carried

FROM THE ORIGINAL DAGUERREOTYPE— WITHOUT THE UNIFORM
PAINTED ON LATER
Through the courtesy of General G. W. C. Lee — who furnished information of
much value concerning several portraits in this chapter— there is reproduced above
the actual appearance of his distinguished father in 1850. This portrait was
copied, embellished with a uniform painted on by hand, and widely circulated.
To study the unretouched original is particularly interesting. Lee at this period
was in Baltimore, in charge of defenses then being constructed. Three years before,
in the Mexican War, he had posted batteries before Vera Cruz so that the town was
reduced in a week. After each of the battles of Cerro Gordo, Churubusco, and Cha-
pultepec, he received promotion, and for his services in the last he was breveted
colonel. A born soldier, the son of a soldier, this handsome young man is not as
handsome by far as the superb general who later lent grace and dignity to the Confed-
erate gray. He little realized the startling future when this photograph was taken.
out; he was made captain in 1838, and, meanwhile, leading a
somewhat uneventful life, he slowly acquired a reputation as
a reliable officer. In 1841, he was put in charge of the defenses
of New York, and in this position he remained until the out-
break of the JNlexican War.
The part he played at this crisis throws much light upon
his character and his after career. He distinguished himself
in JNIexico more brilliantly, perhaps, than any other officer of his
years, and thus he gave proof of his native military bent and of
the thoroughness with which he had studied the art of war.
He was not in sympathy with the political " Jingoes " of the
time, a fact which affords a measure of his mental rectitude.
But he was modestly indisposed to speak out upon political
matters, being, as he conceived, a soldier charged with exe-
cuting the will of his country as exj)ressed by its statesmen.
It might have been predicted that, in the event of a civil
war, such a man would side with that part of the nation in
which he was born and bred, that his services would be strictly
military in character, that tlie thought of making himself a dic-
tator or even of interfering with the civil administration would
never cross his mind. He would exliibit the highest virtues of
the soldier and the private citizen ; he would not, like Washing-
ton, go farther and exhibit the highest virtues of the states-
man. It is probably best for his own fame and for the Nation
that this should have been so. The Republic is fortunate in
l)ossessing three men, each consummate in private character,
two illustrious in the separate spheres of military and civil
command, Lee the soldier, and Lincoln the statesman, and
one unique in combining the two high orders of genius, the
greatest of Americans, the " Father of his Country."
At the beginning of the JMexican War, Lee w^as attached
to General Wool's command in the Northern departments. He
attracted notice chiefly by his brilliant scouting. Early in
1847, at the request of General Winfield Scott, he joined the

ARLINGTON, THE HOME OF LEE, FROM THE GREAT OAK
Tlie heautifiil (>st;ite by the Potomac came to General Lee from the family of George Washington. While Lee, as a boy and youth, lived
in Alexandria he was a frequent caller at the Arlington estate, where Mary Lee Custis, the only daughter of George Washington Parke
Custis, was his companion and playfellow. Before he had completed his course at West Point the friendship had ripened into love
and the two became engaged. Her father is said to have considered her entitled to a more wealthy match than young Lee, who looked
forward to a career in the army. But in 1831, two years after his graduation, the ceremony was performed and on the death of Custis
in 1857, the estate passed into the possession of Robert E. Lee as trustee for his children. The management had already been in his
hands for many years, and though constantly absent on duty, he had ordered it so skilfully that its value steadily increased. On
the outbreak of the Civil War and his decision to cast in his lot with Virginia, he was obliged to leave the mansion that overlooked the
national capital. It at once fell into the hands of Federal troops. Nevermore was he to dwell in the majestic home that had sheltered
his family for thirty years. When the war was over, he gave the Pamimkey estate to his son Robert and himself retired to the quiet,
simple life of Lexington, Virginia, as president of the institution that is now known, in his honor, as Washington and Lee University.
staff of that commander before Vera Cruz. In the fighting
that ensued he displayed a skill and bravery, not unmixed
with rashness, that won him high praise from his superior. In
the reconnaissances before the victory of Contreras, he specially
distinguished himself, and this was also the case at the battle
of Chapultepec, where he was wounded. Having already been
brevetted major and lieutenant-colonel, he was now brevetted
colonel, and he took his share in the triumphant entry of the
city of Mexico on September 14, 1847.
He was soon busy once more, employing his talents as
engineer in the surveys made of the captured city, and showing
his character in endeavoring to reconcile the testy Scott with
his subordinates. Later, he was put in charge of the defenses
of Baltimore, and later still, in 1852, he was made superintend-
ent of the INIilitary Academy at West Point. During his ad-
ministration the discipline was improved and the course of
study lengthened. In 1855, he was promoted lieutenant-colonel
of the Second Cavalry, and in the spring of the next year he
joined his regiment in western Texas. Pursuit of maraud-
ing Indians and study of animals and plants employed his
hours, but he suffered from his separation from his wife and
children, domestic affection being as characteristic a trait as
his genius for battle. In July, 1857, the command of his
regiment devolved upon him, and three months later he was
called to Arlington on account of the death of his father-in-
law, ]Mr. Custis. Despite the change in his circumstances, he
returned to his command in Texas and remained until the au-
tumn of 1859, when he was given leave to visit his family. It
was during this visit that he was ordered witli a company of
marines to Harper's Ferry to dislodge John Brown. Then,
after giving the legislature of Virginia some advice with re-
gard to the organization of the militia, he took command of
the Department of Texas. From afar he watched sadly the

LEE'S BOYHOOD PLAYGROUND
When Robert E. Lee came over from Alexandria as a l>oy, to play soldier in the gardens and grounds around
this beautiful mansion overlooking the Potomae, he could hardly have thought of its occupation during his
life-time by a hostile force determined to bend his native State to its will. When he was graduated from West
Point in 1829 and proudly donned the army blue, he little imagined that thirty-two years later, after he had
paced his room all night in terrible perplexity, he would doff the blue for another color sworn to oppose it. The
estate about Arlington house was a fair and spacious domain. Every part of it had rung in his early youth
and young manhood with the voice of her who later became his wife. He had whispered his love in its shaded
alleys, and here his children had come into the world. Yet here stand men with swords and muskets ready
to take his life if they should meet him on the field of battle. Arlington, once famous for its hospitality, has
since extended a silent welcome to 20,000 dead. Lee's body is not here, but reposes in a splendid marble
tomb at Washington and Lee University, where he ruled with simple dignity after the finish of the war.

drift of the two sections toward war, and in February, 1861,
upon the secession of Texas, he was recalled to Washington.
It is needless to discuss exhaustively Lee's attitude on
the questions that were dividing the country. He did not be-
lieve in slavery or secession, but, on the other hand, he did not
admit that the general Government had the right to invade
and coerce sovereign States, and he shared the conviction of
his fellow Southerners that their section had been aggrieved
and was threatened with grave losses. He sided with those
M'hom he regarded as his " j)eople," and they have continued
to honor his decision, which, as we have seen, was inevitable,
given his training and character.
It was equally inevitable, in view of the oaths he had taken,
and of the existence of theories of government to which he did
not subscribe, that his entering the service of the Confederacy
should seem to many Americans a wilful act of treason. His
conduct will probably continue to furnish occasion for censure
to those who judge actions in the light of rigid political, social,
and ecclesiastical theories instead of in the light of circum-
stances and of the phases of character. To his admirers, on
the other hand, who wall increase rather than diminish, Lee
will remain a hero without fear and without reproach.
Lee sjient the weeks immediately following the inaugura-
tion of Lincoln in a state of great nervous tension. There
seems to be little reason to doubt that, had he listened to the
overtures made him, he could have had charge of the Union
forces to be put in the field. On April 20, 1861, he resigned
the colonelcy of the First Cavalry, and on the 23d he accepted
the command of the military forces of Virginia in a brief
speech worthy of the career upon which he was entering. A
little less than a month later he became a brigadier of the
Confederacy, that being then the highest grade in the Southern
service.
For some time he chafed at not being allowed to take the
field, but he could not be spared as an organizer of troops and
[60]
From the point of view of the mil-
itary student Lee's consummate
feats of generalship were performed
in the gloom of the Wilderness.
On this ground he presented an al-
ways unbroken front against which
Grant dashed his battalions in vain.
Never were Lee's lines here broken;
the assailants must always shift
their groimd to seek a fresh oppor-
tunity for assault. At this spot on
the battlefield of the Wilderness the
opposing forces lay within twenty-
four feet of each other all night.
The soldiers, too, had learned by
this 1864 campaign to carry out
orders with judgment of their own.
The rank and file grew to be ex-
cellent connoisseurs of the merits of
a position. "If they only save a
finger it will do some good," was
General Longstreet's reply, when
his engineer officers complained
that their work on Marye's Hill
was being spoiled by being built
higher by the gunners of the Wash-
ington artillery — who had to fight

significance of the lines as shown in
many war maps is often very puz-
zling to the students of to-day, who

Much of the ground disputed by the
contending forces in our Civil War
was quite unlike the popular con-
ception of a battlefield, derived
from descriptions of European cam-
paigns, or from portrayals of the
same, usually fanciful. For at this
variety of warfare, Lee was a
master, as well as on the rolling
open plains of the Virginia farm.

ceding this test of the Wilderness.

an adviser to President Davis. While others were winning
laurels at First Manassas (liull Run) he was trying to direct
from a distance the Confederate attempts to hold what is now
AVest ^^irginia, and in August he took personal charge of the
difficult campaign. There is no denying the fact that he was
not successful. His subordinates were not in accord, his men
Avere ill supplied, the season was inclement, and the country
was unfavorable to military operations. Perhaps a less kindly
conmiander might have accomplished something ; it is more cer-
tain that Lee did not deserve the harsh criticism to which for
tlie moment he was subjected.
He was next assigned to command the Department of
South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and he showed remark-
able skill in laying down plans of coast defenses which long
held the Union fleet at bay. In INIarch, 1862, he was recalled
to Richmond to direct the military oj^erations of the Confed-
eracy under President Davis, who was not a merely nominal
commander-in-chief. Lee's self-control and balance of char-
acter enabled him to fill the j)ost without friction, and for a
time he was permitted to be with his wife and children, who
were exiles from the confiscated estate of Arlington. He pre-
pai'ed men and suj^plies to oppose IVIcClellan's advance toward
Richmond, and successfully resisted " Joe " Johnston's plan
to withdraw troops from the South and risk all on a pitched
battle with INIcClellan near the capital. When, later, Johnston
was wounded at Seven Pines, the command of the Confederate
army on the Chickahominy devolved upon Lee (June, 1862)
and he was at last in a position to make a full display of his
genius as a strategist and an offensive fighter.
He at once decided, against the opinions of most of his
officers, not to fall back nearer Richmond, and, after sending
J. E. B. Stuart on a scouting circuit of the Union army, he
prepared for the offensive. The attack made on June 26th
failed because " Stonewall " Jackson's fatigued soldiers, who %

before Vannerson's camera in Rich-

made for their hero a set of shirts,
and had begged him to sit for a por-

wore one of the gifts. The amateur

resulted in a Pyrrhic victory for Lee, who was left, how-
ever, in comj^lete control of the north bank of the Chicka-
hominy.
The remainder of the great Seven Days' fighting around
Richmond need not be described. Lee himself did not escape
criticism; he was often badly suj^jjorted; the Federals, as at
Malvei'n Hill, showed themselves to be gallant foes, but the net
result was the retreat of INIcClellan to the shelter of his gun-
boats, the relief of Richmond, and the recognition of Lee as
the chief defender of the South. The Confederate commander
was not fully satisfied, believing that with proper support he
ought to have crushed his adversary. Perhaps he was oversan-
guine, but it is clear that aspiring aggressiveness is a necessary
element in the character of a general who is to impress the
imagination of the world.
His next 2:)rocedure, INIcClellan having again begun to
retreat, was to join Jackson against Pope, who had been threat-
ening the Piedmont region. After complicated operations,
in which the Federal general showed much bewilderment, and
after daringly dividing his army in order to enable Jackson to
move on Pope's rear, Lee won the complete victory of Second
Manassas on August 30, 1862. Despite his inferior numbers,
his aggressiveness and his ability to gage his opponents had
enabled him to rid Virginia of Federal forces, and he re-
solved to invade JNIaryland. Davis acquiesced in his far-
sighted plan, and the march began on September 5th. The
detaching of Jackson to take Harper's Ferry and the loss of
one of Lee's orders, which fell into McClellan's hands, soon
gave a somewhat sinister turn to the campaign. Lee's boldness
and extraordinary capacity on the field enabled him, however,
to fight the drawn battle of Sharpsburg, or Antietam, on Sep-
tember 17th with remarkable skill, yet with dreadful losses to

LEE--THE GENERAL WHO SHOULDERED "ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY"
The nobility revealed by the steadfast lips, the flashing eyes in this magnificent portrait is reflected by a happening a few days before
its taking. It was 1865. The forlorn hope of the Confederacy had failed. Gordon and Fitzhugh Lee had attacked the Federal lines
on April 9th, but found them impregnable. Lee heard the news, and said: "Then there is nothing left me but to go and see General
Grant." — "Oh, General, what will history say to the surrender of the army in the field.'" — Lee's reply is among the finest of his
utterances: "Yes, I know they will say hard things of us; they will not understand how we were overwhelmed by numbers; but that
is not the question, Colonel; the question is, is it right to surrender this army.-' If it is right, then I will take all the responsibility."
both sides. In the end he was forced to withdraw into Virginia,
the campaign, from at least the pohtical point of view, having,
proved a faihn'e. As a test of efficient handhng of troops in
battle, Antietam, however, is a crowning point in Lee's mili-
tary career.
The Army of Northern Virginia repassed the Potomac in
good order, and Lee took up his headquarters near Winchester,
doing his best to obtain supplies and to recruit his forces.
Here, as later, one sees in him a figure of blended dignity and
pathos, making a deep appeal to the imagination. His bearing
and attire befitted the commander of one of the most efficient
armies ever brought together; yet his most impressive quali-
ties were his poise, his considerateness for others, his forget-
fulness of self. No choice morsel for him while sick and
woimded soldiers were within reach of his ministrations. Bul-
lets might be whizzing around him, but he would stoop to pick
up and care for a stunned young bird. No wonder that when,
on a desperate day in the Wilderness, he attempted to head a
charge, his lovingly indignant soldiers forced him back. They
had visions of a hapless South deprived of its chief champion.
To-day their sons have visions of a South fortunate in being
a contented part of a great, undivided country and in possess-
ing that choicest of possessions, a hero in whom power and
charm are mingled in equal measure.
But we must take up once more our thin thread of narra-
tive. Burnside superseded IMcClellan, and Lee, with the sup-
port of Longstreet and " Stonewall " Jackson, encountered him
at Fredericksburg, where, on December 13, 1862, the Federals
suffered one of the most disastrous defeats of the war. Hooker
succeeded Burnside and began oj)erations well by obtaining
at Chancellorsville a position in Lee's rear. Then came the
tremendous fighting of JNIay 2 and 3, 1863, followed by Hook-
er's retreat across the Rap^^ahannock on the 6th. The Confed-

LEE IN RICHMOND AFTER THE WAR
The quiet distinction and dignity of the Confederate leader appears particularly in this group portrait —
always a trying ordeal for the central figure. Superbly calm he sits, the general who laid down arms totally
unembittered, and set a magnificent example to his followers in peace as he had in war. Lee strove after the
fall of the Confederacy, with all his far-reaching influence, to allay the feeling aroused by four years of the
fiercest fighting in history. This photograph was taken by Brady in 1865, in the basement below the back
porch of Lee's Franklin Street house in Richmond. On his right stands General G. W. C. Lee, on his left,
Colonel Walter Taylor. This is one of five ])hotographs taken by Brady at this time. A second and third
are shown on pages 65 and 69, a fourth on page 83 of Volume I, and a fifth on page 23 of Volume III.

erate victory was dearly paid for, not only in common soldiers
but in the death of " Stonewall " Jackson.
Weakened though Lee was, he determined upon another
invasion of the North — his glorious, but ill-fated, Gettys-
burg camjiaign. Was it justifiable before those three days
of fierce fighting that ended in Pickett's charge? Was Lee
merely candid, not magnanimous, when he took upon himself
the responsibility for the failure of his brilliant j^lans; or are
his biographers in the right when they seek to relieve him at
the expense of erring and recalcitrant subordinates? In his
confidence in himself and his army, did he underrate the
troops and the commander ojjj^osing him? Could JNIeade, after
July 3d, have crushed Lee and materially shortened the war?
However these military questions may be finally answered,
if final answers are ever obtained, Lee's admirers need feel little
apjirehension for his fame. The genius to dare greatly and the
character to suffer calmly have always been and will always be
the chief attributes of the world's su})reme men of action.
These, in splendid measure, are the attributes of Lee, and they
were never more conspicuously displayed than in the Gettys-
bin-g camj^aign. Success is not always a true measure of great-
ness, but insistence upon success as a standard is a very good
measure for a certain kind of smallness.
Meade not acting on the offensive, Lee began to retreat
and at last got his army across the Potomac. INIeade followed
him into Virginia, but no important fighting was done in that
State during the remainder of 1863, a year in which the Con-
federacy fared badly elsewhere. Lee suggested that he should
be relieved by a younger man, but President Davis was too
wise to accede, and the Southern cause was assured of its cham-
pion, even tliough the gaunt forms of famine and defeat kept
drawing nearer and nearer.
Lee's army suffered severely during the winter of 1863-
64 in the defenses behind the Rapidan, but its chief bore all
privations with a simple Christian fortitude that renders super-

The gniy-hairetl man who wears his uniform with such high distinction is the
general who had shown every kind of bravery known to the soldier, including the
supreme courage to surrender his army in the field when he saw that further fighting
would be a useless sacrifice of lives. This was a photograph taken by Brady,

fluous any reference to Roman stoicism. With the spring he
girded himself to meet his future conqueror, Grant, in cam-
paigns which proved that, although he himself could he finally
crushed by weight of numbers, he was nevertheless the greater
master of the art of war. Grant's army was nearly twice as
large as that of Lee, but this superiority was almost neutral-
ized by the fact that he was taking the offensive in the tangled
region known as the Wilderness. The fighting througliout
IMay and June, 1864, literally defies description. Grant at last
had to cease maneuvering and to fight his way out to a junc-
tion with Butler on the James. He would attack time and
again with superb energy, only to be thrown back with heavy
losses. Lee used his advantage of fighting on interior lines
and his greater knowledge of the country, and so prevented
any effective advance on Richmond. Finally, after the ter-
rible slaughter at Cold Harbor, he forced Grant to cease
hammering. Yet, after all, the Federal commander was not
outfouglit. He had to submit to the delay involved in tak-
ing Petersburg before he could take Richmond, but the fall
of the Confederate cajjital was inevitable, since his own losses
could be made up and Lee's could not.
On June 18, 1864, Lee's forces joined in the defense of
Petersburg, and Grant was soon entrenching himself for the
siege of the town. The war had entered upon its final stage,
as Lee clearly perceived. The siege lasted until the end of
jNIarch, 1865, Grant's ample supjilies rendering his victory cer-
tain, despite the fact that when he tested the fighting quality
of liis adversaries he found it unimpaired. In one sense it was
sheer irony to give Lee, in February, 1865, the commander-
sliip-in-chief of the Confederate armies ; yet the act was the out-
ward sign of a spiritual fact, since, after all, he was and had
long been the true Southern conmiander, and never more so
than when he bore privation with his troops in the wintry
trenches around Petersburg.
[70]
These twelve members of General Robert E. Lee's stcaff surrendered with him at Appomattox Court House, and with liim signed a
parole drawn up by (Irant, to the effect that they would not take up arms against the I'nitcd States until or unless they were exchanged.
This military medallion was devised by the photographer Rockwell during General Lee's stay in Richmond in A])ril, 1805. These
facts are furnished by jNLajor Giles B. Cooke (No. 12, above), who had verified them by writing General Lee himself after the surrender.
Late in JNIarch and early in April, the Federals made Lee's
position untenable, and he pressed on to Amelia Court House,
where the expected supplies failed him, Richmond having
meanwhile surrendered on April 3, I860. Grant, drawing
near, sent Lee on April 7th a courteous call to surrender. Lee,
still hoping against hope for supplies, asked Grant's terms.
Before the final surrender he took his chance of breaking
through the opposing lines, but found them too strong. Then
he sent a flag of truce to Grant, and a little before noon on
April 9th held a meeting with him in a house at Appomattox
Court House. It is superfluous to say that in his bearing at the
interview and in the terms he offered his exhausted foes, Grant
illustrated as completely the virtue of magnanimity as Lee
did that of dignified resignation.
With tears in his eyes, Lee told his ragged but still un-
daunted veterans that their cause was lost. Then he issued a
noble address to the survivors of his army, received visits from
old friends among his opponents, and rode away on " Traveller"
toward Richmond. In the fallen cajjital, even the Federal
troops greeted him with enthusiasm, and he was at last once
more in the bosom of his family. In June, he went to the coun-
try for rest, and later in the summer he acce])ted the presidency
of Washington College at Lexington, now Washington and
Lee University. He had previously refused many gifts and
offers of positions which seemed tainted by mercenary consid-
erations.
As a college president, General Lee both in character and
in poise of intellect ranks with the first. During the five years
of his administration the institution prospered financially, and
the course of studies was liberally enlarged, no narrow military
conceptions being allowed to prevail. He was as beloved by
his students as he had been by his soldiers, and he was content
with his small sphere of influence, declining most wisely to
accept the governorship of the State and a political career

THE DECLINING YEARS
In these portraits the bright eyes of the daring leader have lost none of their fire; the handsome head
still remains erect. In October, 1865, Lee had been installed as president of Washington College at
Lexington, Virginia, later named in his honor Washington and Lee University. Under his manage-
ment new chairs were founded, the scheme of study enlarged, and from the moral side it woultl have
been impossible to secure finer results. Lee's greatness of soul was shown in the way in which he
urged the Southern people loyally to accept the result of the war. On the morning of October H,
1870, at the age of sixty-three, he died — mourned throughout the LTnion which he had helj)ed to
reunite, and throughout the civilized world, which had watched with admiration his gallant fight and
nobility of soul. "To those who saw his composure under the greater and lesser trials of life,"
wrote Colonel William Preston Johnson, his intimate friend, "and his justice and forbearance with
the most unjust and uncharitable, it seemed scarcely credible that his serene soul was shaken by the
evil that raged around him. " On his dying bed he fought over the great battles of the war. How
strongly he felt his responsibility is shown by nearly his last words: "Tell Hill he must come up."

for which neither his years nor his temperament fitted
liim.
His health, which had begun to be impaired in 1863, grad-
ually failed him, and in 1869 grew somewhat alarming. In
the spring of 1870, he took a trip South with little result, and
then he went to some s])rings for the summer. He resumed his
duties at the college, but soon was taken ill in consequence of an
accidental exposure, and after a short illness he died on Octo-
ber 12, 1870. His last words were of the war and his often
dilatory subordinates: " Tell Hill he must come up."
Tributes came from friend and foe, and now, after forty
years have passed, they continue to come. Lee is to the South-
ern people and to many military experts in foreign countries
the greatest commander of armies that America has ever pro-
duced. He is to all who have studied his cliaracter, and to
many who have merely heard or read of him in a general way,
one of the noblest of men. He is the ideal gentleman, not
merely of Nature's making, but of race and breeding; in other
words, a true aristocrat. Yet to his aristocratic virtues, he
added the essentially democratic virtues, and he was an ideal
Christian as well as an ideal gentleman and man.
Lee's rank among the great men of the world is not so
easy to determine, yet it seems clear that he must be named
with the greatest of all time, with soldiers like JNIarlborough,
for example, and that an additional luster attaches to his fame
which few other great captains enjoy, since he attracts sympa-
thy and love almost more than he does admiration. JNIore
completely perhaps than any other modern man of Anglo-
Saxon stock he is qualified to be at once a hero of history and
a hero of romance. He is the representative of a people that
has suffered; hence his character and career possess a unique
spiritual value not fully to be estimated by those who apply
to him the normal tests of historical greatness.

WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN
By Walter L. Fleming, Ph.D.
Professor of History, Louisiana State University
THE armies of the United States were led in 1864-65 by-
two generals, to whom, more than to any other military
leaders, was due the final victory of the Northern forces. Both
Grant and Sherman were Western men; both were somewhat
unsuccessful in the early years of the war and attained success
rather late ; to both of them the great opportunity finalh^ came,
in 1863, in the successful movement which opened the JNIis-
sissippi, and their rewards were the two highest commands
in the Federal army and the personal direction of the two
great masses of men which were to crush the life out of the
weakening Confederacy. Grant was the chief and Sherman
his lieutenant, but some military critics hold that the latter
did more than his chief to bring the war to an end. They were
friends and were closely associated in military matters after
1862; in temperament and in military methods each supple-
mented the other, and each enabled the other to push his plans
to success.
William Tecumseh Sherman was born in Lancaster, Ohio,
February 8, 1820. The family was of New England origin,
and had come to America from England in the seventeenth
century. About two hundred years later, Sherman's father
and mother migrated to what was then the unsettled W^est and
made their home in Ohio. His father, a lawyer and in his later
years a justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, died in 1829, leav-
ing a large family of children without adequate support. The
subject of this sketch was adopted into the family of Thomas
Ew'ing, who was later United States senator, and Secretary of
S the Interior in the cabinets of Harrison and Tyler. The boy

BEFORE THE MARCH TO THE SEA
These two photographs of General Sherman were taken in 1864 — the year that made him an mter-
national figure, before his march to the sea which electrified the civilized world, and exposed once for
all the crippled condition of the Confederacy. After that autumn expedition, the problem of the
Union generals was merely to contend with detached armies, no longer with the combined States of the
Confederacy. The latter had no means of extending further support to the dwindlmg troops in the
field. Sherman was the chief Union exponent of the tactical gift that makes marches count as much
as fighting. In the early i)art of 1864 he made his famous raid across Mississippi from Jackson to
^Meridian and back again, destroying the railroads, Confederate stores, and other property, and des-
olating the country along the line of march. In May he set out from Chattanooga for the invasion of
Georgia. For his success m this campaign he was appointed, on August 12th, a major-general in the
regular army. On November 12th, he started with the pick of his men on his march to the sea.
After the capture of Savannah, December 21st, Sherman's fame was secure; yet he was one of the
most heartily execrated leaders of the war. There is a hint of a smile in the right-hand picture. The
left-hand portrait reveals all the sternness and determination of a leader surrounded by dangers,
about to penetrate an enemy's coimtry against the advice of accepted military authorities.
grew up with the Western country in which he hved, among
energetic, brainy farmers, lawyers, and pohticians, the state-
makers of the West.
When sixteen years of age, Sherman secured an appoint-
ment to West Point, where he tells us " I was not considered
a good soldier." But he was at least a good student, for he
graduated as number six in a class of forty -two, the survivors
of one hundred and forty-one who had entered four years be-
fore.
After graduation, in 1840, he was assigned to the Third
Artillery, with which he served for six years in the Southern
States, mainly in Florida and Soutli Carolina. In South Car-
olina, he made the acquaintance of the political and social lead-
ers of the South. At this time, in fact up to the Civil War,
Sherman was probably better acquainted with Southern life
and Southern conditions than with Northern. He spent some
of his leisure time in the study of his profession and finally
attacked the study of law.
INlost of the next ten j^ears was spent in California, where
he was sent, in 1846, at the outbreak of the INIexican War. As
aide to Generals S. W. Kearny, JNIason, and Smith, in turn,
Sherman was busy for four j^ears in assisting to untangle the
problems of the American occupation.
In 1850, he returned to Ohio and was married to Senator
Ewing's daughter, Ellen Boyle Ewing, a woman of strong
character and fine intellect, who for thirty-six years was to
him a genuine helj^meet. About the same time, he was made
captain in the Commissary Department and served for a short
time in St. Louis and New Orleans, resigning early in 1853
that he might return to California to take charge of a banking
establishment, a branch house of Lucas, Turner and Company,
of St. Louis.
During this second period of life in California, we see
Sherman as a business man — a banker. He was cautious and

SHERMAN IN 1865
If Sherman was deemed merciless in war, he was superbly generous when the fighting
was over. To Joseph E. Johnston he offered most liberal terms of surrender for the
Southern armies. Their acceptance would have gone far to prevent the worst of the
reconstruction enormities. Unfortunately his first convention with Johnston was
disapproved. The death of Lincoln had removed the guiding hand that would have
meant so much to the nation. To those who have read his published correspondence
and his memoirs Sherman appears in a very human light. He was fluent and fre-
quently reckless in speech and writing, but his kindly humanity is seen in both.
successful, and soon his bank was considered one of the best
on the Pacific coast. This was due mainly to the prudent
management by which the institution was enabled to weather
the storm that destroyed nearly all the Californian banks in
1856-57. But Sherman had always rejjorted to his headquar-
ters in St. Louis that the bank could not make profits under
the existing conditions, and in 1857 his advice was accepted and
the business closed.
From 1853 to 1857, Sherman apjjears in but one con-
spicuous instance in another role than that of banker. In 1856,
he accejjted the appointment of general of militia in order to
put down the Vigilantes, an organization formed in San Fran-
cisco to crush the lawlessness which had come as a natural re-
sult of the weakness and corruption of the local government.
He sympathized with the meml)ers of the organization in their
desire to jiut down disorder, but maintained that the proper
authorities should be forced to remedy matters, and that illegal
methods of repressing crime should not be tolerated. For a
time it seemed that he would succeed, but the local authorities
were much disliked and distrusted by the peoj^le, and the prom-
ised support was not given him by the United States military
authorities, with the result that his plans failed.
During the next two years, Sherman decided that as a
business man he was a failure. In his letters, he vigorously as-
serts it as a fact; and in truth his business career must have
been extremely unsatisfactory to him. In spite of good man-
agement, the San Francisco venture had failed. For a few
months afterward he was in charge of another branch of the
same business in New York, and, during the great panic of
1857, this also was discontinued on account of the failure of
the main house in St. Louis. Then he went to Kansas, decided
to jjractise law and was admitted to the bar, " on general in-
telligence," he said, and with his brother-in-law formed the law
firm of Ewing, Sherman and McCook.

SHERMAN IN 1876
A SOLDIER TO THE END
The lull figure of "Old Tt'cuiiiscir' in 1S7G, though crowned with gray, still stood erect and com-
manding. Upon the appointment of Grant as full general, in July, 1866, Sherman had been pro-
moted to the lieutenant-generalship. When Grant became President of the United States, March
4, 1869, Sherman succeeded him as general. An attempt was made to run him against Grant in
1872, but he emphatically refused to allow his name to be used. He retired from the army on full
pay in February, 1884. Although he was practically assured of the Republican nomination for
President that year, he telegraphed that he would not accept the nomination if given, and would
not serve if elected. He spent his later years among his old army associates, attending reunions,
making speeches cit soldiers" celebrations, and jiutting his papers in order for future historians. He
resolutely refused all inducements to enter the political arena, and to the end he remained a soldier.
[D-6]
Sherman's law career, as he described it, was rather
humorous. He lost his only case, a dispute over the possession
of a shanty, but joined with his client to defeat the judgment
by removing the house at night. Afterward, he undertook
army contracts for constructing military roads and opened
a large tract of Kansas wild land for Senator Ewing. Dis-
gusted with business life, Sherman decided to reenter the army,
and ajjplied for a paymastership. But his friends of the War
Dejiartment recommended him instead for the superintendency
of the Louisiana State Seminary (now the Louisiana State
University), then being organized. He was elected to that
position in August, 1859, and for a third time he made his home
in the South.
He was an efficient college executive; the seminary was
soon organized and running like clockwork, students and in-
structors all under the careful direction of the superintendent,
who very soon became a general favorite, not only with " his
boys " but with the faculty of young Virginian professors.
He had no regular classes, but gave episodical instruction in
American history and geograjjhy, and on Fridays conducted
the " sjDeaking." He was a good story-teller, and frequently
his room would be crowded with students and young professors,
listening to his descriptions of army life and of the great West.
He was a firm believer in expansion and " our manifest des-
tiny," and frequently lectured to students and visitors on those
events in American history which resulted in the rounding-out
of the national domain. It was due, perhajjs, to his long
residence in the far West that he regarded slavery as in no
sense the cause of the sectional troubles of 1860-61. It was
all the result, he maintained, of the machinations of unscrupu-
lous politicians scheming for power, working upon a restless
people who were suffering from an overdose of Democracy. It
is clear that Sherman, while appreciating both the Northern

and the Southern points of view, did not fully comprehend the
forces which for years had been driving the sections apart.
When Louisiana seceded, Sherman announced publicly
what was already generally known — that he would not remain
at the seminary ; that he would take no part against the United
States. It is said that he wept bitterly when he heard of the
withdrawal of South Carolina. One of the strongest argu-
ments against secession was, in his opinion, the geographic
one. Familiar Avith all the Southern country, especially the
JNIississippi valley, he insisted that Nature itself had already
decided the question against secession and that the South ought
to struggle within the Union for redress of grievances. He
believed that the South, though itself at fault, was aggrieved.
He could not be prevailed upon to remain, and in February,
1861, he left the seminary and the State.
Sherman at once went to Washington where he found the
politicians busy, and as they and Lincoln were " too radical "
to suit him, he left, profanely declaring that " the politicians
have got the country into this trouble; now let them get it out."
For two months he was president of a street-railway company
in St. Louis, and while here he was a witness of the division of
Missouri into hostile camps. He watched the North while it
gradually made up its mind to fight, and then he offered his
services to the War Department, and was appointed colonel of
the Thirteenth United States Infantry.
Sherman's military career falls into four rather distinct
parts: The INIanassas, or Bull Run, campaign, and Kentucky,
in 1801; the Shiloh-Corinth campaign, in 1862; the opening
of the jNlississippi, in 1863; the campaigns in Georgia and
the Carolinas, in 1864-65. During the first two years, he
was making mistakes, getting experience, and learning his pro-
fession. In the third campaign, his military reputation was
made secure, and in the last one he crushed half the Confed-
eracy mainly by his destructive marches.
At Bull Run, or INIanassas, he commanded a brigade with

credit, and though it was routed he quickly restored its organ-
ization and morale, and for this he was made a brigadier-gen-
eral of volunteers.
Transferred to Kentucky to assist General Robert An-
derson, his former commander, in organizing the Federals of
Kentucky, he came near ruining his career by the frankness
of his speech to the Secretary of War and to the newspaper
men. The administration evidently desired to minimize the
gravity of the situation in the West, but Sherman insisted that
to hold Kentucky sixty thousand men were necessary, and to
open the valley to the Gulf two hundred thousand would be
needed. He was better acquainted with the Southern temper
than were the Northern politicians and the newspapers, some
of which now declared him insane for making such a statement.
He was hounded by them for several months and was almost
driven from the service. The course of the war showed that
he was correct.
During the next year was begun the movement to open
the Mississippi valle3^ From the beginning of the war this
had been one of Sherman's favorite projects. It was a West-
ern feeling that the river must be opened, that the valley must
belong to one people. Sherman saw service in responsible com-
mands in the Shiloh-Corinth campaign. At Shiloh, he, like
the other Federal and Confederate commanders, was hardly
at his best; all of them still had much to learn. But in the
rather uneventful Corinth military promenade, Sherman be-
gan to show his wonderful capacity for making marches count
as much as fighting. He was now regarded as one of the best
minor leaders, was no longer considered insane, and was made
a major-general of volunteers as a reward for his services in
the campaign.
In the Vicksburg campaign of 1863, which completed the
opening of the INIississippi and cut in two the Confederacy,
Sherman bore a consjjicuous part, first under IVIcClernand and

Geary's Division of the Twentieth

later under Grant. It was the successful termination of the
A'^icksburg camj^aign which made secm-e the military reputa-
tions of both Grant and Sherman. Their good fame was
enhanced by the subsidiary campaigns into the interior of
INIississippi, and by the battle on JNIissionary Ridge, in Ten-
nessee. Henceforth, " political " generals were less in evidence
and the professional soldiers came to the front. Grant was
called to exercise the chief command over all the armies of the
Union. To Sherman, who was now made a brigadier-general
of regulars, was given tlie supervision of the entire Southwest,
embracing practically all of the military frontier not imder
Grant's immediate control. He was to direct the chief army
which was to strike at the vitals of the lower Soutli, and to
exercise general supervision over the military operations in
Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas, which were
designed to make secure the hold of the Federals upon the
lower ISIississippi valley.
The river was held, and the army of one hundred thousand
men, under the immediate command of Sherman, carried to suc-
cessful conclusion, in 186-i Co, three campaigns — that against
Atlanta, the " store-house of the Confederacy," for which he
was made major-general in the regidar army, the march
through Georgia to the sea, cutting the Confederacy in two
a second time, and the campaign through the Carolinas, which
was designed to crush the two principal armies of the South
between Sherman's and Grant's forces.
For three months of the Atlanta campaign — May, June,
and July — Sherman was pitted against Joseph E. Johnston,
one of the Confederacy's greatest generals, the one best qual-
ified to check Slierman's march. 3?ut Johnston, with his smaller
force, fell back slowly from one strong position to another,
holding each until flanked by Sherman, who could make prog-
ress in no otlier way. When Atlanta was reached, Johnston
was superseded by John B. Hood, who at once initiated an

offensive policy but was severely defeated in several battles dur-
ing the latter days of July and in August. For his success in
this camj^aign, Sherman was made a major-general in the reg-
ular army. Finally Hood evacuated Atlanta, started on the
fatal Tennessee campaign, and left the Federal commander
free to move on through the almost undefended countrj^ to
the Atlantic seaboard.
Sherman had provided for the defense of Tennessee and
had garrisoned the important exposed posts which he considered
it necessary to retain. On November 12, 1864, communications
with the North were severed. He started with sixty-two thou-
sand men on the " promenade " through Georgia, and for a
month was not heard from except through Confederate
sources. In December, Savannah was captured and was made
a Federal base of supplies. Then began the march to the
North through the Carolinas, which was much more difficult
than the march to the sea, and Sherman was again confronted
with his old antagonist, Joseph E. Johnston, who had been
placed in command of the remnants of the Confederate forces.
But the contest was more unequal than it had been in 1864,
and when Lee surrendered in Virginia, Johnston in North
Carolina gave ujd the struggle, and the war was practically
at an end.
Here it is proper to add an estimate of the military quali-
ties of the great Federal commander. Like the other success-
ful commanders, he attained the fullness of his powers slowly.
Not all military experts agree that he was a great commander
on the battlefield, and in his successful campaigns he was gen-
erally pitted against weaker Confederate forces, acting (Hood
excepted) uniformly on the defensive. Sherman's armies had
no such experiences as did those which o])posed Robert E. Lee.
He was aided by such blunders of his opponents as were never
made by Lee. But all agree that under the military and

economic conditions existing in the Southwest, Sherman was
preeminently fitted to undertake the task of breaking to pieces
the weakening South. He was a great strategist if not so
successful as a tactician ; he won more by marches than others
by fighting; he had a genius for large conceptions, and with his
clear comprehension of Southern conditions he was able to
strike with irresistible force at the weak points in the defense.
Thus it was, according to Robert E. Lee, that he Avas enabled
to give the Confederacy a mortal wound before any of its
armies surrendered.
One feature of Sherman's campaigns, after leaving At-
lanta, has been severely criticised. Much of the destruction of
private property in Georgia and South Carolina, it is held, was
not only unnecessary but amounted to cruelty in depriving
the j)opulation of the necessities of life. Woodrow Wilson
says of the work of the armies under Sherman's command:
" They had devoted themselves to destruction and the stripping
of the land they crossed with a thoroughness and a care for de-
tails hardly to be matched in the annals of modern warfare —
each soldier played the marauder very heartily." Sherman
himself intimated that the march would " make Georgia howl,"
and would " make its inhabitants feel that war and ruin are
synonymous terms." The most intense feeling on the subject
still exists in the communities over which Sherman marched in
1864 65, a feeling which does not exist against any other com-
mander on either side, nor against Sherman himself in the
regions over which he fought before 1864.
That Sherman himself did not intend to go beyond the
limits of legitimate warfare is clear, and the unfortunate ex-
cesses were due mainly to the somewhat demoralized discipline
of the troops, to the fact that they were in the midst of a hostile
country, to the increasing bitterness that had developed as
the war j)rogressed, to the natural development of the permit-
ted " foraging " into reckless plundering, and in part to certain
) characteristics of Sherman himself, which probably affected the

WHO ENDED THE WAR IN THE NORTHW EST AND SOUTHWEST
ARMY AND CORPS LEADERS
As Sherman cut the southeastern Con-
federacy in two by his march to the sea,
so Sheridan (center of group above) and
Canby (shown below) wiped off the map
the theaters of war in the northwest and
southwest respectively. With Merritt
and Torbert, and the dasliing Custer,
Sheridan swept the Shenandoah Valley.
Canby, as commander of the military
division of West Mississippi, directed the
Mobile campaign of March-April, 18G5,
which resulted in the occupation by the
Federals of Mobile and Montgomerj'. A
raid by James H. Wilson (second from
right) had prepared the way for this re-

jjolicy of liis corps commanders, who were more directly charged
with the conduct of the troops. But if Sherman was merciless
in war, he was superbly generous when the fighting was over.
When Grant was made President, Sherman succeeded him
as general of the army, and knowing Grant's views to coincide
with his own, he hoped so to reorganize the army that the com-
manding general, not the Secretary of War, v/ould be the real
head of the army. With Grant's assistance the reforms were
imdertaken, but they lasted less than a month, the political pres-
sure upon the President in favor of the old system being too
strong for him to bear. Sherman and Grant then drifted
apart; the former could do little toward carrying out his plans
for the betterment of the army, and finally, to escape unpleas-
ant treatment, he removed his headquarters to St. Louis where
he remained until President Hayes invited him to return to
Washington and inaugurate his cherished plans of army ad-
ministration. This pleasing professional situation continued
until Sherman's retirement, in 1884.
During his later years, he sjjent most of his time in New
York among old army associates, attending reunions, making
speeches at soldier's celebrations, and putting his papers in
order for the use of future historians. He died in New York
on February 14, 1891, aged seventj^-one years. He was buried,
as he wished, in St. Louis, by the side of his wife and his little
son, who had died nearly thirty years before. Inconspicuous
among the many generals who went to New York to do honor
to the dead leader was a quiet old gentleman in civilian dress —
Sherman's ablest antagonist in war, Joseph L. Johnston, and
l)y the side of the grave at St. Louis was one of his old Louisi-
ana colleagues, jjroud of his unique experience, " a professor
under Sherman and a soldier under ' Stonewall ' Jackson."

JACKSON
THOMAS J. JACKSON IN THE FORTIES
A PORTRAIT TAKEN DURING THE MEXICAN WAR,
WHERE JACKSON SERVED AS A SECOND
LIEUTENANT, THE YEAR AFTER HIS
GRADUATION FROM WEST POINT
STONEWALL JACKSON— A MEMORY
By Allen C. Redwood
F'ifty-pfth Virginia Regiment, Confederate States Army
WHEN the early details of the first important collision
between the contending forces in Virginia, in 1861, be-
gan to come in, some prominence was given to the item relating
how a certain brigade of Virginia troops, recruited mostly from
the Shenandoah valley and the region adjacent to the Blue
Ridge, had contributed, largely by their steadiness under fire,
almost for the first time, to the sustaining of the hard-pressed
and Avavering Confederate left flank, and the subsequent con-
version of what had threatened to be a disastrous defeat to the
Southern arms into a disorderly and utter rout of the opposing
army.
War was a very new experience to most of that genera-
tion, and the capacity for absorbing sensational bulletins was
commensurate with the popular expectation, if it did not ex-
ceed it. Those of us who were as yet doing the commonplace
duty of detached garrisons, were consumed with envy of our
more fortiniate comrades who had taken part in what then
seemed the great battle of the war and which our inexperience
even conjectured might determine the pending issues. A man
who had " been at Manassas " might quite safely draw upon
his imagination to almost any extent in relating its happen-
ings, with no fear that the drafts would not be duly honored by
our credulity. As to the civilian element, its appetite was
bounded only by the supply ; like poor little Oliver Twist, it con-
tinually presented its porringer, eagerly demanding " more! "
Of this mass of fiction — of luithreshed grain — there re-
mains yet one kernel of veracious history, and the incident was
predestined to exercise significant and far-reaching influence
THOMAS JONATHAN JACKSON
AS FIRST LIEUTENANT, U. S. A.
Jackson's very soul impressed itself on the glass of this early negative through his striking features — more
clearly read than later, when a heavy beard had covered the resolute lips, and the habit of command had
veiled the deep-seeing, somber eyes. When the quiet Virginia boy with the strong religious bent graduated
eighteenth in his class of seventy from West Point in 1846, his comrades little thought that he was destined
to become the most suddenly famous of American generals. The year after his graduation he attracted
attention by his performances as lieutenant of artillery under General Scott in Mexico, and was brevetted
captain and major for bravery at Contreras, Churubusco, and Chapultepec. Fourteen years later he earned
his sobriquet of "Stonewall" in the first great battle of the Civil War. Within two years more he had risen
to international fame — and received his mortal wound on the field of battle. He was reserved, almost som-
ber with his men, yet he earned the love and enthusiastic devotion of the soldiers who came to be known as
"Jackson's foot cavalry," so unparalleled were the marches they made under his leadership. They came to
trust his judgment as infallible, and in spite of overwhelming odds they followed no matter where he led.

uj^on the struggle, then in its very inception. In that fiery bap-
tism, a man still unknown to fame was to receive, at the hands
of a gallant soldier about to surrender his soul to the JNIaker
who gave it, the name which, to the world, was to supplant that
conferred by his natural sponsors, and by which he will ever be
known as among the great captains of his race and of history.
The supreme effort of the Federal commander was directed
against the left of the army of Johnston and Beauregard and
upon the open plateau surrounding the Henry house. The
battle was raging furiously, and seemingly the Southern line
at that point was on the verge of utter disaster, when the Caro-
linian, General Barnard E. Bee, rode from his shattered and
wavering brigade over to where Jackson still held fast with his
mountain men.
" General," he said in tones of anguish, " they are beating
us back."
"No, sir," was the grim reply; "we will give them the
bayonet." Bee rode back and spoke to his brigade: " Look at
Jackson there, standing like a stone wall. Rally behind the
Virginians! " and the front of battle was restored. The rest is
history.
Thus it came to pass that pojjular inquiry began as to who
this man Jackson might be, and what were his credentials and
antecedents. The young cadets from the Virginia JNIilitary
Institute, who promptly flocked to the colors of the State and
of the Confederacy, could give but little satisfactory informa-
tion; to their boyish minds he was just " Old Jack," instructor
in natural philosophy and artillery tactics, something of a mar-
tinet and stickler for observance of regulation, and, on the
whole, rather " queer " and not at all approachable. That he
should be in command of a brigade seemed to them due far
more to some peculiar fortune than to any inherent fitness re-
siding in him. True, he was said to have graduated from the

JACKSON— HIS MOST REVEALING PHOTOGRAPH
A PICTURE SECURED ONLY BY THE URGING
OF GENERAL BRADLEY T. JOHNSON
Jackson, a modest hero, nearly always shrank from being photographed. At
the height of his fame he answered a publisher's letter with a refusal to write
the desired magazine article or to send any picture of himself, though the offer
was a very flattering one. The photograph above was made in Winchester,
in February, 1862, at the Rontzohn gallery, where Jackson had been persuaded
to spend a few minutes by the earnest entreaties of General Bradley T. John-
son. Some five months later Jackson was to send Banks whirling down the
Shenandoah Valley, to the friendly shelter of the Potomac and Harper's
Ferry, keep three armies busy in pursuit of him, and finally turn upon them
and defeat two of them. This, with the profile portrait taken near Fred-
ericksburg, shown on page 115 of Volume II, represents the only two sittings
of Jackson during the war. Captain Frank P. Clark, who served three
years in close association with the general, considered this the best likeness.
United States INIilitary Academy, and was known to have been
a some-time officer of the army, serving in INIagruder's battery
in Mexico during the campaign of Scott from Vera Cruz to
the capital city.
It was even intimated that he had won certain brevets
there for service at Vera Cruz, Contreras, and Chapultepec,
rising from the grade of second heutenant to that of major
within a period of eighteen months, but to the youthful sense
all that was very ancient history, of a piece with the Pelopon-
nesian War, for instance, and the mists of antiquity hung about
the record and made its outlines very vague. To the young,
ten years seems a great while, and during that period their
reticent, rigid instructor had been quite out of touch with any-
thing military other than their cadet battalion or the gun de-
tails of the institute battery of 6-pounders, with human teams,
which it was his duty to put through their evolutions on the
drill-ground.
The human side of this man has almost no record during
these years, apart from what comes to us through the letters to
his wife; he was not a man who wore his heart on his sleeve, and
life seems to have always been to him as a trust, for which he
held liimself strictly accountable, and which was not to be
squandered in trivialities of any sort. As we know now, he
had much to do, and the time for it was to be all too brief for
its full accomjjlishment ; j'^et he seems to have been not quite
devoid of some sense of humor, in spite of his habitual reserve
and aloofness.
It is related that upon one occasion, at this stage of his
career, he propounded to his class this question, " Young gen-
tlemen, can any of you explain to me the reason why it has
never been possible to send a telegraphic despatch from Lex-
ington to Staunton? " Several theories were advanced, such as
that the presence of iron ore in the surrounding mountains
might have had the effect of deflecting the electric current.
^ At last, one boy — the dullard of the class, usually — suggested,
[ 102]
"STONEWALL" AND THE MEN WHO BORE HIS ORDERS
Tholr honors came not easily to Jackson's staff officers. Tireless himself, regardless of all personal comforts, he seemed to consider
others endowed with like qualities. After a day of marching and fighting it was no unusual thing for him to send a staff member on a
tliirty or forty mile ride. He was on terms of easy friendship and confidence with his aides off duty, but his orders were explicit and
irrevocable. He had no confidants as to his military designs — quite the opposite: Before starting on his march to Harper's Ferry he
called for a map of the Pennsylvania frontier, and made many inquiries as to roads and localities to the north of Frederick, whereas his
route lay in the opposite direction. His staff, like his soldiers, first feared his apparent rashness, and then adored him for his success.
diffidently, that it might be owing to the fact that there was no
telegrajih Hne then existing between the two points. " Yes,
sir," rejihed Major Jackson; " that is the reason."
But, in the main, he was eminently practical and almost
totally lacking in the minor graces and frivolities which render
men socially possible, and, had not the great occasion arisen
which w^as to afford scope for his ability, it seems as if he nmst
have entirely escaped notice for the rest of his life. We are
prone to look at things in that light, ignoring the fact that it is
the man who has kej^t up his training who is ready and fit to
seize oj)portunity when it shall present itself. Jackson had
been " in training " all the while, even though no one — not even
himself — may have suspected to what purpose.
This is the man who, more than any other, saved the day
for the Confederacy at INIanassas (First Bull Run), in 18(51.
Tlien he disappeared from view — a way he had, as liis antag-
onists were to learn later — for a while, and at one time it seemed
as if the theater of active ojjerations was to know his presence
no more, when, in response to an order from the War Depart-
ment in Richmond, along with his acquiescence, he tendered his
resignation from the command he then held.
Fortunately, this document went through the headcjuar-
ters of his superior. General Joseph E. Johnston, who before
forwarding it wrote to Jackson asking reconsideration, and so
the services of the latter were retained to the Confederacy, and
we were to hear much of his doings from that time until his
untimely and tragic death. But in the months immediately
succeeding Bull Run, he was almost lost sight of, and it was
only at the opening of the campaign of 1862 that he began to
loom again upon the military horizon.
The fortunes of the young Confederacy seemed then at
a low ebb; from all the western portion came bidletins of dis-
aster. In Virginia, a vast Federal host had been marshaled
and was about to begin closing in upon the capital, and

all the outlying posts of the Confederate line were being
severally driven in. Johnston had retired from ISIanassas to
the line of the Rappahannock, presently to proceed to York-
town, and eventually to retire thence to the Chickahoniiny. It
was while lying there, awaiting JNIcClellan's attack, that we
began to get ne^s of very active proceedings in the Valley
region, which came to have important bearing upon our for-
tunes, and in the final issue to determine the contest we were
expecting and awaiting in our immediate front.
To those sidtry, squalid camps, reeking with malaria and
swarming with flies, came from beyond the far-away Blue
Ridge stirring and encouraging tidings of rapid march and
sudden swoop; of telling blows where least expected; of skilful
maneuvering of a small force, resulting in the frustrating of all
combinations of one mmierically its superior, and paralyzing
for the time being all the plans of the Federal War Depart-
ment and the grand strategy of the " young Napoleon " at the
head of its armies in the field.
It seemed as if the sobriquet conferred upon Manassas field
had become the veriest of misnomers; the "Stonewall" had
acquired a marvelous mobility since that July day not yet a
year old and had become a catapult instead. And what, per-
haps, appealed to our personal interest more forcibly was the
story of the capture of the rich spoil of war, the supplies, of
AN'hich we were already beginning to feel the need. Our daily
diet of unrelieved bread and bacon grew fairly nauseating at
tlie thought of the bounty so generously provided by " Commis-
sary-General " Banks, and of the extra dainties inviting pillage
in the tents of Israel — but we were to get our share, with ac-
crued interest, later on.
We had not yet ceased to marvel over these exploits when
Jackson executed one of his mysterious disappearances, puz-
zling alike to friend and foe, and he next announced himself by
the salvo of his guns, driving in ISIcClellan's exposed right.

^
This exposed condition was due to his own activity in the Val-
ley, which had held ISIcDowell inert upon the Rappahannock
A\ ith thirty-five thousand muskets which should have been with
the force north of the Chickahominy, inviting attack. Jackson
rarely declined such invitations ; he could scent an exposed flank
with the nose of a hound and was " fast dog " following the
trail when struck. Besides his habitual celerity of movement,
was his promptness in delivering attack, which was an element
of his success.
" The first musket upon the ground was fired," says a dis-
tinguished English authority, " without giving the opposing
force time to realize that the fight was on and to make its dis-
jiositions to meet the attack or even to ascertain in what force
it was being made." The quiet, retiring pedagogue of the " V.
INI. I." had not been wasting those ten years in which most of
his leisure had been devoted to the study of the campaigns of
the great strategists of history, from Csesar to Xapoleon, and
his discipline in jNIexico had given him some usefid suggestions
for their application to modern conditions. Also it had af-
forded the opportunity for giving that invaluable asset, the
ability to gage the caliber of the men cooperating with him or
opposed to him, with most of whom he had come in contact per-
sonally— a peculiarity of our Civil War, and one of imi)ortant
bearing upon all the operations conducted by officers of the
regular establishment who, almost without exception, held high
command in both armies.
But as yet we had no personal knowledge of this man who
had been so rapidly coming to the fore. His work done, and
well done, amid the Chickahominy lowlands, he was soon to
heed the call coming to him from the hill country which gave
him birth, and where his most notable service had so far been
rendered. His old antagonists were reassembling there as a
formidable army and under a new leader, and the line of direct

apjjroach to the Confederate capital was to be attempted from
that direction. Already he had proceeded thither with his two
divisions which had made the Valley campaign — his own and
Ewell's — when ours, commanded by A. P. Hill, received orders
to join them, and all three were thenceforth incorporated in the
Second Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, as long as
he commanded it.
We had fought the sharp engagement of Cedar JNIountain
on the 9th of August, 1862, and checked Pope's advance to
the Rapidan. Then, after some days of rest, we again took the
initiative and, crossing the little river, went after him. But
the general who had heretofore " seen only the backs of his
enemies " did not see fit to await our coming, but made so
prompt and rapid a retrograde movement that even our ex-
peditious " foot cavalry " could not come up with him before
he passed the Rappahannock. It M^as on this hurried pursuit,
passing through Brandy Station, that a figure came riding
along the toiling foot column toward the front. He was in no
wise remarkable in appearance, and it was with surprise that
the writer heard that he was no other than our conmiander.
General " Stonewall " Jackson.
He wore a rather faded gray coat and cap to match — the
latter of the " cadet " pattern then in vogue and tilted so far
over his eyes that they were not visible, and his mount and gen-
eral appearance were not distinctive of high rank. In fact, he
seemed some courier carrying a message to some general officer
on ahead. Despite his West Point training, he was never a
showy horseman — in which respect he had a precedent in the
great Napoleon. When we took Harper's Ferrj^ in September
of that same year, one of the surrendered garrison remarked,
when J ackson was pointed out to him, " Well, he's not much
to look at, but if we'd onlv had him, we'd never have been in
this fix."
But within the interval we were to see much of him, and
^ our appreciation speedily penetrated below the surface indica- /

tions as we came to know and trust the man who conducted us
to unfailing victory. Soldiers always forgive the means so that
the end may be assured, and no man ever worked his troops
harder than did Jackson, or ever awakened in them more in-
tense enthusiasm and devotion. His apj^earance never failed
to call forth that tumultuous cheer which was part of the battle
onset. This was mostly, it must be admitted, in a spirit of mis-
chief and for the sake of " making ' old Jack ' run," for he
never liked an ovation and always spurred out of the demon-
stration at top speed. Rigid disciplinarian that he was in all
essentials, there was not the suspicion of concern with pomp
and circumstance in all his make-up. War was to him much
too serious an affair to be complicated by anything of the sort,
nor was he at all tolerant of excuses when there was work in
hand — results alone counted.
At Chantilly, our division commander sent word to him
that he was not sure that he could hold his position as his am-
munition was wet. " My compliments to General Hill and say
that the enemy's ammunition is as wet as his, and to hold his
ground," was Jackson's rej^ly. Yet, unsparing as he was of
his men when the urgency of the occasion demanded it, he was
equally unsparing of himself, and, moreover, was always con-
cerned for their well-being once the emergency was past, realiz-
ing that all warlike preparation is to the end of lavish expendi-
ture at the supreme moment. In camp he was always solicitous
that the troops should be well cared for, but when it came to
take the field,
" What matter if our shoes are worn,
What matter if our feet are torn.
Quick step — we're with him ere the dawn."
That was " Stonewall Jackson's Way." A purposeful
man, obstacles were to him but things to be overcome or ig-
nored if they stood in the way of his plans. When one of his <s
[ 112
subordinates, after the three days' hard fighting of the Second
Manassas, preceded by a march of ahnost a hundred miles
within a little more than a like period of time, objected that his
men could not march further until they should have received
rations, he was promptly put under arrest by Jackson, bent as
he was upon following up his advantage and overwhelming
Pope's defeated army before it could reach the protection of
its entrenched lines at Alexandria, some thirty miles distant.
A master of men, Jackson infused those of his command
with much of his own indomitable spirit, as expressed in the
lines quoted from the old song of the corps, until they came
to take pride in their hardships and privations and to profess
a Spartan-like contempt for the sybaritic softness, as they con-
sidered it, of the other corps of the army. As to their confi-
dence in his ability to meet and to dominate any situation, it
simply had no bounds. In the movement on Manassas and
during the engagement, with hostile forces coming from almost
every direction, and while as yet we had no tidings of Long-
street, we were remote from our base and the foe was in su-
perior force between; we were footsore and fagged nearly to
the limit of human endurance, but there was no faltering in
the belief that Jackson saw his way out of the toils which seemed
to compass him about, as he had aforetime in the Valley cam-
paign. Those thin lines never held their ground more tena-
ciously nor charged with more elan than during those eventful
August days.
The last time my eyes were to behold him — how well it
comes to mind! — was upon the morning of the fateful May 2,
1863, before the close of which day was to be ended his career
as a soldier. We were moving out by the flank on a little wood-
land road, where we had been in bivouac the night before; it
was a gloomy, overcast morning, as if giving premonition of
the calamity to come to us before the next rising of the sun.
Before we reached the plank road, in a small ojjening among

the pines were two mounted figures whom we recognized as
Lee and Jackson. The former was seemingly giving some final
instructions, emphasizing with the forefinger of his gantleted
right hand in the palm of the left what he was saying — in-
aiidihle to us. The other, wearing a long rubber coat over his
uniform (it had been raining a little, late in the night), was
nodding vivaciously, all the while.
After the Confederate success at Chancellorsville came
Gettysburg. The question is often asked what would have hap-
pened had Jackson been present on that memorable field —
Jackson, the man who was always up to time, if he brought but
a fragment of his force with him, and whose " first musket on
the ground 'was fired." As General Fitz Lee significantly
related the case, " Suppose Jackson to have been four miles
off the field at midnight of July 1st and been advised that
General Lee wished the key-point of the enemy's position at-
tacked next day; would the time of that attack have approxi-
mated more nearly to 4 a.m. or 4 p.m.? " — for answer, see the
verse already quoted. For if the other corps commanders did
not " like to go into battle with one boot off," ours would, at a
pinch, go in barefoot — but he got there!
In the numerous discussions of the Gettysburg campaign
which have come into notice since the event, much space has
been given to the comparison of the relative forces of the two
armies contending on that field. The disparity under the most
liberal estimates inclines always in favor of the Federals, yet it
seems to the writer that not enough account has been taken of
the most significant shortage on the Confederate side of the
balance. Successful battles had been waged and won more
than once against greater odds, in point of mere numbers — as
at Sharpsburg (Antietam) and Chancellorsville, for instance.
But at Gettysburg, we were short just one man — who had been
dead just two months — and his name was " Stonewall" Jackson.

LOSSES IN THE BATTLES OF THE CIVIL
WAR, AND WHAT THEY MEAN
By Hilary A. Herbert
Late Colonel, Eighth Alabama Infantry, Confederate States Army,
and late Secretary of the Navy of the United States
STATISTICS of losses in battles do not furnish an unfail-
ing test of courage. IVIistakes of officers, unavoidable sur-
prises— these, now and then, occasion losses that soldiers did not
knowingly face, and there are sometimes other reasons why
the carnage in a particular command in this battle or that does
not with accuracy indicate steadfast bravery. Such statistics,
however, as all military experts agree, do tell a graphic story,
when exceptional instances are not selected.
Colonel Dodge, in his " Bird's-Ej^e View of Our Civil
War," exhibits statistics showing the percentage of losses in
the most notable battles fought since 1745, and from them de-
duces this conclusion, " It thus appears that in ability to stand
heavy pounding, since Napoleon's Waterloo campaign, the
American has shown himself preeminent."
Colonel Dodge would have been justified in going much
further. Waterloo itself, the most famous of the world's bat-
tles, does not show such fighting as Americans did at Sharps-
burg (Antietam), Gettysburg, or Chickamauga.
In " Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War," by
Lieutenant-Colonel G. F. R. Henderson, a British military
expert, is a complete list of killed and wounded in great battles

COPYRIGMT, 1911 REVIEW OF REVIEWS CO.
MEN OF THE FIFTH GEORGIA
MORE THAN HALF THIS REGIMENT WAS KILLED AND WOUNDED AT THE BATTLE OF CHICKAMAUGA
Lounging beneath the Stars and Bars are eight members of an Augusta, Georgia, company — The " CHneh Rifles." Tlieir new parapher-
nalia is beautifully marked "('. R." They have a negro servant. In a word, they are inexperienced Confederate volunteers of May,
1861, on the day before their company became a part of the Fifth Georgia Regiment. Pass to November, ISdS; imagine six of the sol-
diers in the group lying dead or groaning with wounds, and but tlu-ee unhm-t, — and you have figured the state of the regiment after it
was torn to shreds at the battle of Chickamauga. It was mustered in for twelve months at Macon, Georgia, May 11. 1861, being the last
regim(>nt taken for this short term. The Sixth Georgia and those following were mustered in for three years or the war. The ( 'linch
Rifles were sent to garrison Pensacola, Florida, where General Braxton Bragg would occasionally come fronv his headquarters, eight miles
away, to drill them. The ten companies were all from towns, or cities, and nicely uniformed, though each in a different style. This
led Bragg to name them liis "Poimd Cake Regiment." In JiJy and August, 186^2, the Fifth marched from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to
Bardstown, Kentucky, thence to the ea.stern part of the State, and down through Cumberland Gap to Knoxville, 800 iniles in all. It
lost hea\'ily in the battle of Murfreesboro. At bloody Chickamauga, September 19 and 20, 1863, its killed and wounded were more than
54 per cent, of the regiment — surpassed by few organizations in history. It suffered again at Missionary Ridge, and in the spring of
1864, when it stood against Sherman through the Atlanta campaign. The regiment fought on through the campaigns from Savannah,
Georgia, up to North Carolina, and in the last combat at Benton v'ille. North Carolina. It surrendered at Greensboro, .\pril, 26, 1865.
battle, but indicate the percentage of those suffered by the vic-
tors only. These show fighting losses. In losses by a defeated
army, those received in retreating cannot be separated from
those received in fighting. If, howcA^er, a defeated army is
not routed, but retires, still in fighting condition, and the foe
is so crippled that he cannot make effective pursuit, as was the
case at Chickamauga, or if the defeated army does not leave
the field at all, until, say, twenty-four hours after the battle, as
was the case with the Confederates at Sharpsburg and Gettys-
burg, the losses on both sides are to be counted as fighting
losses, and their percentage is a fair measure of " capacity to
stand pounding/'
Gaged, then, by this standard, which for large armies in
a great battle is absolutely fair, Waterloo is eclipsed by Get-
tysburg; Gettysburg is eclipsed by Sharpsburg, and Sharps-
burg ecli])sed by Chickamauga.
Here are some of Colonel Henderson's percentages, which
tell the story, the percentage of the Federal losses at Chicka-
mauga being calculated from Henderson's figures. At Water-
loo, the victors' loss was twenty per cent. At Gettysburg, the
victors lost also twenty per cent. But, at Waterloo, the French
army dissolved; at Gettysburg, the Confederates held to their
position nearly all the following day, and the majority of the
Confederates did not know they had been defeated there until
after the war.
At Sharpsburg, their victory cost the Federals not twenty,
but twenty-three per cent., and the Confederates held fast to
their position all the next day.
At Chickamauga, their victory cost the Confederates
twenty-seven per cent., and the Federals, inflicting this loss,
retreated; but General Thomas, the " Rock of Chickamauga,"
still held fast to prevent pursuit, and Rosecrans' army was
ready to fight the next day. At Waterloo, the entire loss in
killed and wounded, of the French, was thirty-one per cent.
OFFICERS OF A WESTERN FIGHTINCi REGIMENT^THE 36TH ILLINOIS
Of tlie Illinois regiments the Thirty-sixth fought in e\'ery iniportaTit battle of the entire war in Western ter-
ritory, and suffered in killed alone a loss of no less than 14.8 per cent., a figure exceeded among Illinois organ-
izations only l)y the 14.9 per cent, of the Ninety-third. No Federal regiment lost as much as 20 per cent,
killed and only 200 out of the 3,559 organizations as much as ten per cent. The Thirty-sixth Illinois lost 204
men out of a total enrollment of l.f57(). These figures refer to deaths alone, excluding wounded and missing.
At the battle of Stone's River, Tennessee, the regiment lost forty-six killed, 151 wounded, and fifteen missing,
a total of 212. This was its heaviest blow in any one battle. It fought at Pea Ridge, an early engagement in
the West, at Cha|)lin Hills, at the bloody battle of Chickamauga, and on the corpse-strewn slopes of Mission-
ary Ridge. It fought under Sherman from Resaca to Atlanta, and when that general marched away on his
expedition to the coast, the Thirty-sixth turned back to suffer its fourth largest loss in killed at the battle of
Franklin, and to help Thomas crush Hood at the battle of Nashville. Such were the Western fighting regiments.

This loss utterly destroyed the army. The Federals at Chicka-
mauga withstood a loss practically the same — thirty per cent.
— and still successfully defied the Confederates to attack them
in Chattanooga.
The percentage of loss in battle by an entire army is, of
course, obtained by including all present — those participating
slightly, or even not at all, as well as those who bore the brunt
of the fight.
Bearing this in mind, the reader will note to the credit of
these troof)s that the dreadful losses sustained at Sharpsburg
by the Fifteenth INIassachusetts, Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania,
Xinth New York, Twelfth JMassachusetts, First Delaware,
and other regiments; at Stone's River, December 31, 1862,
by the Eighteenth United States Infantry, Twenty-second
Illinois, and other regiments; at Gettysburg, by the Twenty-
fourth jSIichigan, One hundred and eleventh New York, First
]\Iinnesota, One hundred and twenty-sixth New York, and One
hundred and fifty-first Pennsylvania, were all suffered while
the Federals were winning victories — suffered fighting, not in
retreating.
So, also, the losses at the Wilderness of the Second Ver-
mont, Fourth Vermont, and Ninety-third New York, oc-
curred when the Federals, for the most part, held their ground.
And nearly all the astonishing losses of the Confederate regi-
ments Ave re suffered when they were either winning victories
or stubbornly holding on to the field of battle.
Altogether, the casualties in the greatest of the battles
of the Civil War, whether considered in the aggregate or in
the tragic light of regimental losses, make up a wonderful
record.

as twenty-three, the Confederate loss as thirty-two; the Japa-
nese loss at INlukden as 14.1 and at Lio-Yang as 18.5. These
were the bloodiest of the much lauded Japanese victories. This
fighting does not compare with that in the American Civil War.
In the great Franco-Prussian war there is but one battle
in which the percentage of the victor's loss is at all in the same
class in the American Civil War, and that is Vionville, 1870,
where the victor's loss was twenty-two, as compared with
twenty-seven at Chickamauga. So it may be said fairly that,
for a century, the world has seen no such stubborn fighter as
the American soldier.
In studying the statistics of the various regiments whose
losses are tabulated in this volume, the reader Mall discover
that very many of these were suffered in great battles, the na-
ture of which has been told briefly; and he must remember that
neither of the armies suffered at any time any such signal
defeat as would account for very heavy losses. The First
Manassas (Bidl Run) is no exception to this. The Confed-
erates did not follow, and their losses in killed and wounded
were heavier than those of the Federals.
What some of the foreign military experts think of us as
fighters we may learn by extracts taken from their writings,
italicizing at will. The late Lieutenant-Colonel Henderson was
f)rofessor of military art and history at the Staff College of
Great Britain. He says, in his " The Science of War ":
The War of Secession was waged on so vast a scale, employed so
large a part of the manhood of both North and South America, aroused
to such a degree the sympathies of the entire nation, and, in its brilliant
achievements, both by land and sea, bears such splendid testimony to
the energy and fortitude of their race, that in the minds of the American
people it has roused an interest zvhich shores no sign of abating.
Further on in the same essay he states:
Now, if there is one thing more than another apparent to the stu-
dent of the Civil War, it is that the soldiers on both sides were exceed-
ingly Tcell matched in courage and endurance.

COMMANDERS OF
CONFEDERATE BRIGADES WHICH SUFFERED HEAVILY IN BATTLE
The forces here credited with these " brilliant achieve-
ments " in 1861-65 are now thoroughly united, and would
stand shoulder to shoulder against a foreign foe. Our popula-
tion has increased threefold, while our military resources, oin*
capacity to equip and to convey food to armies, to manufac-
ture arms, and to build ships, even in the interior if need be. has
increased tenfold. Our rivers still traverse the land, but the
art of mining waters, jDractised with some success by the Con-
federates, has developed until no foe would think of exploit-
ing these rivers with vessels in advance of troops.
Aye, but the spirit of our people, say the alarmists —
we have lost patriotism, become commercialized, money-mad,
and have now no militant instinct. To an old Confederate
this j^rattle about our people being " commercialized " is es-
23ecially amusing. It carries him back to 1860-61. In the
hot sectional animosities that brought on the war he had im-
bibed that same idea about the North — the " Yankee " now
worshiped " the Almighty Dollar," and in his all-absorbing
struggle for it had lost the si)irit that animated his forefathers
at Lexington, Bunker Hill, and Saratoga. When the news
of JManassas came, many an ambitious Confederate who was
so unfortunate as not to have been there, felt like going into
mourning. He was never to have a chance to " flesh his
maiden sword." But the young Confederate was miscalcula-
ting. The exasperated North roused itself, after INIanassas,
like an angry lion pricked by the spear of the hunter, and
soon we were to hear its roar.
In reference to inexperienced volunteers, it must be said,
as every veteran of the Civil War knows, that it was not always
the oldest regiments that were the bravest. In the gallant,
though finally unsuccessful, assault that was made by the Fed-
erals at Salem Church, May 3, 1863, just where the Confed-
erate line was broken for a time, the official reports show that
the One hundred and twenty-first New York was in the fore-

FEDERAL GENERALS KILLED IN BATTLE— GROUP No. 1— ARMY AND
CORPS COMIVIANDERS
On this and the following six pages are portraits of the fifty-one Union generals killed in battle.
Beneath each portrait is the date and place of death, or mortal wounding. Since no such
pictorial necrology existed to aid the editors of this History, many questions arose — such as
the determination of the actual rank of an officer at a given date, or the precise circumstances
of death in certain instances. The list of Colonel W. F. Fox, presented in his work on " Regi-
mental Losses in the Civil War," has been followed.
front, and its gallant Colonel Upton in his report says this
was the regiment's first battle. Its loss, as officially rejiorted,
was two hundred and twenty-two killed and wounded.
At Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, Franklin with the
Federal left broke through Jackson's lines. The Confederates
restored their line after heavy losses, and in this counterstroke
a North Carolina regiment, fresh from home, drove headlong
through the Northern lines and was with difficulty recalled.
The apology of one of its privates, when it got back into line,
caused a laugh all through the army. " If we had a-knowed
how to fight like you fellows, we could have done better! "
In the work: " Der Biirgerkricg in den Nordmnerikan-
ischen Staaten," by Major Scheibert, of the German Engineer
Corps, the author says:
After the European cavalry liad been discredited in the wars of
1854< and 1859, the American mounted troops brouglit genuine joy
to the heart of every true cavalryman, showing by their service and
bravery that a better future might yet be in store for the European
cavalry. We could not lielp sympathizing with the rise of the true
spirit of knighthood without fear or blame, and with the many gallant
deeds which promised better results.
We could multiply indefinitely these extracts, but space
forbids. From the preface to the work of Cecil Battine, Cap-
tain, Fifteenth, The King's, Hussars, entitled: " The Crisis of
the Confederacy, and History of Gettysburg and the Wilder-
ness," the following is taken:
The history of the American Civil War still remains the
most important theme for the student and the statesman because it
was waged between adversaries of the highest intelligence and courage,
who fought by land and sea over an enormous area with every device
within the reach of human ingenuity, and who had to create every organ-
ization needed for the purpose after the struggle had begun. The ad-
miration which the valor of the Confederate soldiers fighting against
superior numbers and resources excited in Europe; the dazzling genius
[130]
SIi^ Urantng of lattb %mBtB ^ ^ ^
of sonic of the Confederate generals, and, in some measure, jealousy at
the power of the United States have ranged the sympathies of the world
during the war and ever since to a large degree on the side of the van-
quished. Justice has hardly been done to the armies which arose time
and again from sanguinary repulses, and from disasters more demoral-
hbig than any repulse in the field, because they were caused by political
and military incapacity in high places, to redeem xchich the soldiers
freely shed their blood, as it seemed, in vain. If the heroic endurance of
the Southern people and the fiery valor of the Southern armies thrill
us to-day with wonder and admiration, the stubborn tenacity and cour-
age which succeeded in preserving intact the heritage of the American
nation, and which triumphed over foes so formidable, are not less worthy
of praise and imitation. The Americans still hold the rcorUfs record
for hard fighting.
This extract brings to mind that ^\'hat impressed the Con-
federate in Lee's army with most admiration for the Army
of the Potomac was, not its brave stand at ISIalvern Hill fol-
lowing a series of disasters, not its dogged perseverance Avhen
attacking an imjiregnable position at INIarye's Heights, not
its indomitable spirit at the " bloody angle," Spotsylvania,
but the fact that no mistakes of its generals or of the author-
ities at Washington ever caused it to lose heart. Always and
everywhere it fought bravely when given a chance. There
never was but one Bull Run. Three successive changes Avere
made in its commanders, from Yorktown to the AVilderness,
and yet that gallant army never lost faith in itself, as the
following incident illustrates. In the Avinter of 1863-64, the
A\'riter, then an officer in Lee's army, met between the picket
lines near Orange Court House, Virginia, a lieutenant of a
IVew York regiment. During our conversation the lieutenant
said, " Well, we are on the road to Richmond again." " Yes,"
was the reply; "but you will never get there." " Oh, yes, we
Avill after a while," said the lieutenant, " and if you will swap
generals with us, we'll be there in three weeks." Just before
we parted, the lieutenant proposed, "Here's my toast: INLiy
the best man win! " and we drank it heartily.

Major G. W. Redway, referring to the volunteers of the
Army of the Potomac, 1864, writes as follows:
The American volunteer who had survived such battles as Bull
Run, Shiloh, Antietam, and the Seven Days' fighting around Rich-
mond, was probably such a soldier as the world had never seen before.
He needed no instruction as to his duty in the field, and, in fact, often
exercised the functions of instructor both to, officers and men less ex-
perienced than himself.
The impressions Federal and Confederate soldiers made
on foreign critics were not lost on themselves. They were
testing each other's courage, endurance, and patriotism, and
coming to understand the situation as well. Four-fifths of
the Confederates had never owned a slave. It was not slavery
— both armies were figliting for the preservation of the same
free institutions, for what each believed to be his Constitutional
rights.
The first step toward reunion was being taken when
picket shooting was stopped; and the armies of Northern Vir-
ginia and of the Potomac went far beyond that, when encamped
on opposite banks of the Rappahannock, near Fredericksburg,
during the winter and spring of 1862-63. They chatted,
traded tobacco for sugar and coffee, and frequently visited
each other across the narrow stream. A Confederate officer
riding along the bank visiting his outposts was often saluted
by a picket across the river, within easy gunshot. Similar
compliments passed between pickets in gray and officers in
blue. These soldiers were testifying their respect for each
other, with little idea, on the part of the Confederates, that they
would ever again be fellow countrymen.
Eventually both generals, Hooker and Lee, issued or-
ders strictly forbidding all intercommunication. Just after
these orders, an incident occurred which the writer long ago
gave to the newspapers in the hope, which proved vain, that he
miglit hear from the Union soldier. A Confederate officer

rode suddenly out of the woods on to his picket-post at Scott's
dam, just above Banks' P'ord. A Federal soldier was nearing
the south bank of the river, newspai)er in hand. The soldier
reluctantly came ashore, insisting that he should be allowed
to return; the Confederate pickets had promised it. "Yes,"
was the reply, " but they violated orders, and you violated
orders on your side when you came over, and I happen to know
it. Orders must be obeyed. You are my prisoner." The sol-
dier, who was a big, manly fellow, stood straight as an arrow,
looked the officer in the face, and with tears in his eyes, said:
" Colonel, shoot me, if you want to, but for God's sake don't
take me j^risoner. I have been in the army only six weeks.
I have never been in battle, and if I am taken prisoner under
these circumstances, I will never get over it — it will always be
believed that I deserted."
The officer hesitated for a moment, and then said, " Give
me that paper and go, and tell your jjeople you are the last
man that will ever come over here and get back." Such an
incident at the outset of tlie Avar would have been inconceivable.
It was in this S23irit of kindly regard for each other that
the war between the two armies went on, from Fredericksburg
to Appomattox. It manifested itself with increasing tender-
ness after every bloody battle. It inspired Grant when he said
to Lee, " Your men will need their horses to make a crop."
It animated Grant's soldiers when they gave no cheer at the
surrender, and when they divided their rations with the men
A\'ho, in tears, laid doAvn their arms. It did not die when the
Confederates accepted tlie results of the Avar.
Time has only halloAved tlie memory of the glorious man-
hood displayed in those days by the men of both armies. The
soldiers, had their sentiments prevailed, Avould soon have bound
up the Avounds of Avar, as they did those received in battle.
But politicians, for a time, interfered.

Of untold benefit have been tlie meeting of tlie Phila-
delphia Brigade and Pickett's men at Gettysburg, the visits of
INIassachusetts soldiers to Richmond, and of Virginia Con-
federates to Boston, and many similar occasions. These,
coupled with , the strewing of flowers, in 1807, by Southern
women at Columbus, ISlississippi, on the graves of Union sol-
diers, which brought from a Xorthern man that beautiful
poem, " The lilue and the Gray," and a thousand similar in-
cidents, have resulted in those acts that passed in Congress by
unanimous votes, one providing for a Confederate section in
Arlington Cemetery, the other looking to the care of the Con-
federate dead at Arlington and around the Federal prisons
in the Xorth.
Presidents Cleveland, IMcKinley, Roosevelt, and Taft
have each and all, by deeds and words, had their full share in
the work of perfect reunion. And all over the land there are
monuments to the dead of the Civil War, bearing inscriptions
that will outlast the marble and bronze upon which they are
written. Such is the legend on the monument built by the
State of Pennsylvania to its dead at Vicksburg, " Here
brothers fought for their principles, here heroes died to save
their coiuitry, and a luiited people will forever cherish the
precious legacy of their noble manhood."
Another such is on a monument erected by the State of
New Jersey, and the survivors of the Twenty-third New Jer-
sey Volunteers at Salem Church, Virginia. On one side is an
ajjpropriate inscription to their ow^n dead; on the other, a bronze
tablet bearing this magnanimous tribute, " To the brave Ala-
bama boys who were our opponents on this field and whose
memory we honor, this tablet is dedicated." That is a tribute,
not l)y a Government, but directly by the men who fought to
the men who fought them. It is trul}^ noble.

DEATHS IN CONFEDERATE ARMIES
A tabulation of Confederate losses as compiled from the muster-rolls on file in the Bureau of Confederate
Archives. (In the report for 1865-66, made by General James B. Fry, United States Provost Marshal-
General.) These returns are incomplete, and nearly all the Alabama rolls are missing. Still the figures
show that at least 74,524 Confederate soldiers were killed or died of wounds, and that 59,297 died of disease.

Colonel W. F. Fox, the authority on Civil War Statistics, states: "If the Confederate rolls could have
been completed, and then revised — as has been done with the rolls of the Union regiments — the number
of killed, as shown above (74,524), would be largely increased. As it is, the extent of such increase must
remain a matter of conjecture. The Union rolls were examined at the same time, and a similar tabulation
of the number killed appears, also, in General PVy's report. But this latter number was increased 15,000
by a subsequent revision based upon the papers known as "final statements" and upon newly-acquired j
information received through affidavits filed at the Pension Bureau."

SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATIONS IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY
Any attempt to present in statistical form the strength of the Confederate armies is manifestly impos-
sible, as was explained by General Marcus J, Wright in his introductory chapter in Volume I of the Photo-
graphic History. The same conditions also render futile any accurate comparison of tlie troops furnished !
to the Confederate armies by the various states of the South. Nevertheless, by tabulating the various |
organizations and bearing in mind the limitations of the method as well as the original data, a slight basis i
is afforded to gain some idea of the relative numbers contributed by the different States. Furthermore, i
the numbers of the organizations when summarized are of interest in comparison with those given above. |
No complete official roll of regiments and other organizations in the Confederate army is to be found
either in the archives of the United States War Department or published in the War Records, and it is
difficult, if not impossible, to give either an accurate list or the total number. Various lists have been com- j
piled by private individuals, but none of these show absolute accuracy, and all differ among themselves.
A list prepared by Colonel Henry Stone, a member of the Military Historical Society of Massachusetts,
was made the basis of the following table by Colonel Thomas L. Livermore, which is published in his vol-
ume "Numbers and Losses in the Civil War." This list General Wright states is as accurate as can be found.

IN any discussion of the total or relative casu-
alties suffered by a military organization in
a war, or in any particular engagement, it must
be borne in mind tliat tlie entire subject is one
around which many questions center. The general
consideration has been discussed by Colonel Hil-
ary A. Herbert in the preceding chapter. It now
remains to give the readers of the Photographic
History some few exact statistics of the losses
suffered in both great armies.
In the official records there are summarized
with considerable completeness the enlistments and
casualties for the various regiments and other
organizations of the Union army. The reports
for the most part are complete and comprehensive,
admitting of full discussion, yet often there is
great difficulty in reducing tlie vast amount of
material to a common denominator for purposes
of comparison. The problem is to consider the
various elements in their relations one to another.
Thus, it is possible to take those regiments where
the number killed or died of wounds during the
entire period of service stood at a maximum in
comparison with other organizations. Further-
more, it is possible to consider such casualties
relatively, depending upon the strength of the or-
ganization, and this latter method gives a clear
indication of the efficiency of the regiment during
its entire period of service. Large total losses
mean tliat the regiment was at the fore-front of
the fighting in many battles and not necessarily
unduly exposed at one particular action.
Such is the list to be found on page 154?, com-
piled from the authoritative work of Lieutenant-
Colonel William F. Fox, U. S. V.—" Regimental
Losses in the Civil War." It is, indeed, a record
of valor; the fifty regiments here listed are entitled
to places of high honor on the scroll of history.
It is, all things considered, the most useful basis of
making a comparison of the services of the dif-
ferent regiments, and it is one which unfortunately
cannot be made for the regiments comprising the
Confederate army, on account of the absence of
suitable rosters and reports.
Now, if we sliould consider the maximum per-
centage of casualties based on the total of killed,
wounded, and missing, a similar roll could be
constructed. It would be headed by the First
Minnesota Infantry, wliich, at the battle of
Gettysburg, with 262 men engaged on the second
day, lost 168 wounded and 47 killed, or a per-
centage of 82. In fact, other regiments standing
at the top of such a list are worthy of note, and
a few sucli, as listed by Colonel Fox, are given in
the table at the bottom of this page.
The tabular statement on page 15-4 must be
considered, therefore, as suggestive rather than
complete. The selection of fifty regiments is an
arbitrary one ; for, of over two thousand regiments
in the Union army, 45 infantry regiments lost
over 200 men killed or mortally wounded in action
during the war. In fact, Colonel Fox has com-
piled a list of 300 fighting regiments, which lost
over 130 who were killed and died of wounds dur-
ing the war, or which, with a smaller enrollment,
suffered an equivalent percentage of casualties.

By General Marcus J. Wright, Confederate States Army
AT the time wlien Lieutenant-Colonel William
F. Fox, U. S. v., published his valuable and
exceedingly accurate work, entitled " Regimental
Losses of the American Civil War, 1861-1865,"
many regimental reports were missing or inacces-
sible, so that this work, in many respects a stand-
ard as far as Confederate material was con-
cerned, necessarily is incomplete.
No compilation of statistics exists correspond-
ing to that given for the Union armies on a pre-
ceding page, and but little exact statistical
information of a broad character is available.
Therefore, it seems desirable here to give on a fol-
lowing page a table from Colonel Fox's book,
which shows remarkable percentages of losses in
Confederate regiments at particular engagements.
This list contains only a few of the many instances
of regiments suffering a heavy percentage of loss.
The list is compiled from the few cases in which
the official Confederate reports on file in the
United States War Department mention the num-
ber of effectives taken into action as well as the
actual losses.
Because of these statistical deficiencies, no com-
plete catalogue of distinguished Confederate regi-
ments based on the records of battlefield casualties
is possible. This is especially regrettable to those
who recall the conspicuous services of many or-
ganizations from the very outset.
In addition to Colonel Fox's table we give a few
other notable instances. At the first battle of Bull
Run, the 33d Virginia lost 45 killed and 101
wounded, and the 27th Virginia lost 19 killed and
122 wounded. Hampton's Legion lost 19 killed
and 100 wounded.
The 2d Georgia had the longest service of any
infantry regiment from that State. In the Seven
Days' around Richmond, with 271 men in the field,
it lost 120. At Malvern Hill, it lost 81 men and
about the same number at Gettysburg.
At Mills Springs, Ky., the 15th Mississippi
Regiment lost i6 killed and 153 wounded. The
8th Kentucky regiment at Fort Donelson, Tenn.,
lost 27 killed and 72 wounded. The 4th Tennes-
see, at Shiloh, lost 36 killed and 183 wounded,
while the 4th Kentucky lost 30 killed and 183
wounded. The 12th Mississippi, at Fair Oaks,
[1
Va., lost 41 killed and 152 wounded. Hampton's
Legion, a South Carolina organization, at Fair
Oaks lost 21 killed and 122 wounded. The 20th
North Carolina lost, at Gaines' Mill, 7 0 killed and
202 wounded. At Gaines' :Mill and Glendale the
14th Alabama lost 71 killed and 253 wounded,
the 19th Mississippi 58 killed and 264 wounded,
the 14th Louisiana 51 killed and 192 wounded,
and the 12th Mississippi 34 killed and 186
wounded. At Malvern Hill, the 2d Louisiana lost
30 killed and 152 wounded. The 21st Virginia
lost, at Cedar Mountain, Va., 37 killed and 85
wounded.
At Manassas (Second Bull Run), Va., the 5th
Texas lost 15 killed and 224 wounded; the 2d
Louisiana lost 25 killed and 86 wounded. At
Richmond, Ky., the 2d Tennessee lost 17 killed
and 95 wounded. At Antietam, or Sharpsburg,
the 13th Georgia lost 48 killed and 169 wounded;
the 48tli North Carolina lost 31 killed and 186
wounded. At luka. Miss., the 3d Texas, dis-
mounted cavalry, lost 22 killed and 74 wounded.
At Corinth, Miss., the casualties of the 35th Mis-
sissippi were 32 killed and 110 wounded, and of
the 6th Missouri, 31 were killed and 130 wounded.
At Chaplin Hills, Ky., from the 1st Tennessee
regiment, 49 were killed and 129 wounded.
At Fredericksburg, Va., the 57th North Caro-
lina lost 32 killed, 192 wounded, and the 48th
North Carolina 17 killed and 161 wounded. At
Stone's River, the 29th Mississippi lost 34 killed
and 202 wounded.
At Chancellorsville, Va., the losses of the 37th
North Carolina were 34 killed and 193 wounded;
the 2d North Carolina, 47 killed and 167 wounded.
At Vicksburg, Miss., the 3d Louisiana lost 49
killed, 119 wounded, and the 6th Missouri lost 33
killed and 134 wounded. At Helena, Ark., the
7th Missouri lost 16 killed and 125 wounded. At
Gettysburg, the 42d Mississippi lost 60 killed and
205 wounded, and the 1st JMaryland, with 400
present for duty, had 52 killed and 140 wounded.
At Charleston Harbor, the 21st South Caro-
lina lost 14 killed and 112 wounded, and the 25th
South Carolina 16 killed and 124 wounded. At
the bloody battle of Chickamauga, Alabama regi-
ments suffered great losses.

"FIGHTING JOE HOOKER" WITH HIS STAFF
"Fighting Joe Hooker" was a man of handsome physique and intense personal magnetism. He graduated at West Point in 1837 in
tlie same class with. Jubal A. Early and Braxton Bragg. Having fought through the Mexican War, he resigned from the army in 1853.
On May 17, 1861, he was appointed brigadier-general of volunteers, and on May 5, 1862, major-general of volunteers. He was active
throughout the Peninsular campaign, and at Bristoe Station, Second Bull Run, Chantilly, South Mountain and Antietam. He com-
manded the center grand division of the Army of the Potomac at Fredericksburg. At last, on January 26, 1863, he was assigned by
President Lincoln to the command of the Army of the Potomac. On the 4tli of May, 1863, liis right flank was surprised by Jackson at
Chancellorsville, and his 90,000 soldiers were forced to recross the Rappahannock. While fighting in the East he was wounded at

Sherman at Dalton and Resaca, and in the attack on Atlanta. .\t his own request (July 30, 18C4) he was placed on waiting orders
September 28th, when he was put in command of the Northern Department. He retired from active service October 15, 1868, with
the full rank of major-general in the regular army. General Hooker died at Garden City, Long Island, New York, October 31, 1879.

THE ARMY OF GEORGIA— ON PARADE, GENERAL SLOCUM AT THE HEAD
Very different from the march through Georgia and the Carolinas was this magnificent parade of the Army of
Georgia down Penn.sylvania Avenue. In front ride General Slocum and his staff. Behind come the long
straight lines of men who proved the Confederacy a hollow shell with all of its fighting men at the front.
Eagerly crowding close to the line of march are the citizens of Washington who had alternately clamored for
action, and shaken in their boots when the daring Confeder.ate leaders pressed close to the Northern capital.
Many a heartfelt prayer of thanks and relief was offered when mothers saw their boys march past, unscathed
by the war and about to reenter civil life. Many a tear fell for these who could not be there to share the glory.
[162]
At Gaines' Mill, Slocum's Division of the Sixth Corps was sent
to the support of General Porter, and lost 2,021 out of less than
8.000 present in the hot engagement. It was in front of Fred-
erieksbiirg May 'i, 1863, under General Sedgwick, tiial the
Corps made its most brilliant disphiy of dash and daring. It
carried at the point of the bayonet Marye's Heights, the strong
position before which there had fallen, gloriously but in vain,
nearly 13,000 men the previous December. Most of the Corps
was held in reserve at Gettysburg, and its casualties there were
slight, hut it added again to its laurels at Rappahannock Sta-

tion. In the battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania it en-
countered its hardest fighting, the percentage of killed of the
Fifteenth New Jersey in the latter battle being equaled in only
one instance during the whole war. At Cold Harbor it suf-
fered heavily again, and the appearance of two of its divisions
at Fort Stevens checked Early's advance on W^ashington. It
pursued Early up the Shenandoah, and fought at Opequon and
Cedar Creek. In the final assault on Petersburg it played
an important part. It was no less prominent in itii
final appearance at the Grand Review in Washington.

BY THE PROVISIONS of the Constitution, the
President of the United States is commander-
in-chief of the army and navy. During the Civil
War, this function was exercised in no small de-
gree by President Lincoln. As Secretaries of War,
he had in his cabinet Simon Cameron, from March
4, 1861, to January 14, 1862; and Edward M.
Stanton, who served from January 15, 1862,
throughout Lincoln's administration, and also
under Johnson until May 28, 1868, except for a
short interval during which he was suspended.
There were four generals-in-chief of the ai'mies :
Brevet Lieutcnant-General Scott, jNIajor-Gcnerals
McClellan and Halleck, and Lieutenant-General
Grant. The last named has been considered in
previous pages of this volume, but the lives and
services of tlie other three arc sunnnarizcd below,
in addition to the treatment received in other
volumes. (Consult Index.) This is true of all
the army leaders not separately described in the
pages that follow. The Index will refer to treat-
ment in other volumes.
Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott was
born near Petersburg, Virginia, June 13, 1786.
After being graduated from William and Mary
College, he studied law, was admitted to the bar,
and then entered the army at the age of twenty-
two. His career was one of bravery and incident.
He was captured by the British, but exchanged in
1813, fought in the battle of Lundy's Lane, and
was severely wounded. After the close of the war
he was raised to the rank of major-general, and in
1841 succeeded General Macomb as commander
of the United States army. In the war with jNIex-
ico, he won great fame and was nominated by the
Whigs for President in 1852; but he carried only
four States. In 1855, Congress revived the rank
of lieutenant-general and conferred it by brevet
upon Scott, the appointment being dated March
29, 1847, the day of his brilliant captui'e of Vera
Cruz. It was evident that his age and infirmities
would prevent his taking any active part in the
Civil War, and on November 1, 1861, he was re-
tired from the chief command of the army of the
LTnited States. He wrote an autobiography, and
made a European trip in 1864, dying May 29,
1866, at West Point, New York.
Major-General Henry Wager Halleck
(U.S.M.A. 1839) was born in Westernvillc, New
[16
York, January 16, 1815. He served in Calif omia
and on the Pacific coast during the Mexican War.
He retired from the army with the rank of captain
in 1854 to practise law, but after the outbreak of
the Civil War reentered the regular service, with
the grade of major-general. He was in command
of the Department of Missouri ( afterward Depart-
ment of Mississippi) from November 19, 1861, to
July 11, 1862, when he became gcnoral-in-chief of
all the armies. Grant succeeded him, March 9,
1864, and Halleck was his chief-of-staflf until the
close of the war. He continued in the army as
head, successively, of the Military Division of the
James, the Department of the Pacific, and Depart-
ment of the South until his death at Louisville,
Kentucky, January 9, 1872.
Major-General George Brinton McClel-
lan (U.S.M.A. 1846) was born in Philadelphia,
December 3, 1826. He served in the Engineer
Corps during the INlcxican War, distinguished
himself by gallant service, and reached the rank
of captain in 1855, having been so brevetted in
1847. He became assistant instructor in prac-
tical engineering at West Point, later accom-
panied the Red River exploring expedition, and
was sent on a secret mission to Santo Domingo.
During the Crimean War, he was one of a com-
mission of three appointed by Congress to study
and report upon the whole art of European war-
fare. He remained some time with the British
forces. McClellan's report was a model of com-
prehensive accuracy and conciseness, and showed
him to be a master of siege-tactics. In 1857, Mc-
Clellan resigned his army commission to devote
himself to the practice of engineering. He be-
came vice-president of the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company, and later president of the Eastern
Division of the Ohio and Missouri Railroad. He
made his home in Cincinnati until the outbreak of
the Civil War, when he tendered his sei'vices to his
country and was made major-general of volun-
teers, April 21, 1861. The Department of the
Ohio was constituted, and McClellan took com-
mand, May 13th, his appointment as major-gen-
eral dating from the following day. He drove
the Confederates from northwestern Virginia and
saved that section to the Union, an accomplish-
ment of the most vital importance, since, in the
event of the establishment of the Confederacy,
the Union territory would have been contracted at

imposing figure and courage
iequal to every danger. He was
(iexacting in discipline — that
! power which the French call
jf'the glory of the soldier and
jthe strength of armies.
Major-General Henry Wager
Hallcck assumed commanil of
the Army and Department of
Missouri in 1861, and from his
leadipiarters at St. l,ouis di-
rected the (jperations of the
forces whidi early in ISGiJ com-
pelled the Confederates to
evacuate Kentucky and Cen-
tral and West Tennessee. After
he assumed control of all the
armies as successor to McClel-
an in July, 1862, he made his
leadquarters in Washington,
[jerforming duties similar to
those of a chief -of -staff in a
modern army. His military
decisions in particular crises
as Fredcricksbiu-g, Chancel-
lorsville and Gettysburg were
not always approved bj' critics;
nevertheless, he bore a reputa-
tion for genius as a commander.
He was succeeded in the duties
of general-in-chief in February,
1864, by Lieutenant-General
T Ivsses S. Grant.

hundred miles in width. After this success, Mc-
Clellan was placed, July 25, 1861, at the head of
the newly created District (afterward Depart-
ment) of the Potomac, and began the organization
and training of the army of that name. From
November 5, 1861 to March 11th of tlie following
year, he was general-in-chief of the armies of the
United States, and after the latter date continued
in command of the Army of the Potomac until
November 9, 1862, when he was replaced by Ma-
jor-General A. E. Burnside. He took no further
part in the war. His removal was due to dissatis-
faction with bis methods tliat gradually developed
among President Lincoln and his advisers. The
failure of the army to capture Richmond in the
Peninsula campaign, and the non-pursuit of Lee
immediately after Antietam were the chief reasons.
As the nominee of the Democratic party, he was
defeated for the presidency in 1864, and his res-
ignation from the army was accepted on Novem-
ber 8th. He now spent several years abroad,
returning to live in New Jersey, of which State
he became governor in 1877. Aside from his mili-
tary abilities, McClcllan was a man of fine tastes
in literature and art, and also took an active in-
terest in promoting the manufacturing industries
of the State. He wrote his autobiography, and
several works of a military nature. His death oc-
cui-red October 29, 1885, at Orange.

By the CONSOI.IDATION of the Department of
Washington and the Department of Northeastern
Virginia, July 25, 1861, the INIilitary District of
the Potomac was constituted and placed under
command of Major-General George B. McClellan.
On August 15, 1861, the Department, or Army of
the Potomac was created from it, and as sucli it
was known thereafter. Major-General McClellan
assumed command of this army August 20, 1861.
As then constituted, it was organized in fourteen
brigades composed largely of the troops (regular
army and volunteer) of the Depai'tment of North-
eastern Virginia, under Brigadier-General Irvin
McDowell, and new organizations. Most of these
brigades had artillery and some of them cavalry.
McClellan immediately applied his military knowl-
edge to remodeling the army, and in October a
new organization was announced. The division
was now the unit, and there were fourteen, includ-
ing one stationed at Baltimore. Tliere were also
one provisional brigade, a provost-guard, a cav-
alry command, and a cavalry reserve. During
the winter of 1861-62, the Army of the Potomac
was thoroughly drilled. A new organization was
announced in Marcli, 1862, and this the army re-
tained, except while Burnside created the grand
division, until it was discontinued, June 28, 1865.
Tlie corps were the units, and their number varied
from time to time. There were also the provost-
guard, the guard for general headquarters, a full
artillery, and cavalry reserve. A cavalry division
was formed in July, 1862, and reorganized as a
cavalry corps in February, 1863. The successive
commanders of the Army of the Potomac were :
^lajor-Gcneral George B. McClellan to Novem-
ber 9, 1862; Major-General A. E. Burnside to
January 26, 1863; Major-General Joseph
Hooker to June 28, 1863, being succeeded by
Major-General George G. Meade, who remained
at its head until it was discontinued, June 28,
1865, except for a short interval in January,
1865, when Major-General John G. Parke was
in temporary command.
Major-General Ambrose Everett Burnside
(U.S.M.A. 184«7) was born in Liberty, Indiana,
May 23, 1824. He served in the artillery with
the rank of first lieutenant, resigned his commis-
sion, in 1853, to take up the manufacture of a
breech-loading rifle which he had invented. At
the outbreak of the Civil War he was an officer of
the Illinois Central Railroad Company. For gal-
lant service at Bull Run he was made brigadier-
general of volunteers, and in March, 1862, major-
general of volunteers. He organized an expedi-
tionary corps in December, 1861, and this was
merged in the Department of North Carolina, of
wliich Burnside was the head from January to
July, 1862. He captured Roanoke Island and
occupied New Berne. From these troops and
others was organized, July 22, 1862, the Ninth
Corps, with Burnside at its head. He served under
McClcllan at South Mountain, and at Antietam,
where he commanded the left wing, and succeeded
him in the command of the Army of the Potomac.
Later, Major-General Burnside was assigned to
command of tlie Department of the Ohio. Burn-
side and tlie Nintli Corps were with Grant in the
[ l«« ]
Major-General George Brinton McClellan began his war career as commander of the Department of Ohio. After he had defeated
and scattered the Confederate forces commanded by General Robert E. I^ee, securing West Virginia to the Union, he was appointed
general-in-cliief of the I'nited States Armies as successor to General Scott, in November, 1861. He planned and directed the expeditions
which, under General A. E. Burnside captured the coast of North Carolina, under Butler and Farragut opened up the lower Mis-
sissippi, and in Kentucky and Tennessee resulted in the capture of Fort Donelson. He led the Army of the Potomac in the Peninsula
and Antietam campaigns. Meade, its last commander, said: "Had there been no McClellan there could have been no Grant."
Virginia campaign of 186^. Major-General
Burn.side resigned his connnission at the close of
the war and resumed his career as a railroad pro-
jector and manager. He was governor of Rhode
Island from 1866 to 1869, and senator from 1875
until his death, which occurred September 3, 1881,
at Bristol, Rhode Island.
Major-General Joseph Hooker (U.S.M.A.
1837) was born in Hadley, Massachusetts, No-
vember 13, 181-i. He entered the artillery and
was brevetted lieutenant-colonel for distinguished
services in the Mexican War. He resigned his
commission in 1853. At the outbreak of the
Civil War he was living in California as a farmer
and civil engineer. He tendered his services to the
Govei'nment and was appointed brigadier-general
of volunteers. In March, 1862, he was made a
division connnander in the Army of the Potomac,
witli a promotion to major-general of volunteers
in May. An appointment as brigadier-general
of the regular army followed the battle of An-
tietam, in which he was wounded. In September,
1862, he rose to corps commander, and was at
the liead of the Center Grand Division in Burn-
side's organization. He was commander of the
Army of the Potomac from January 26, 1863, to
June 28th. Later, he exhibited great gallantry
as corps commander at Lookout Mountain, and
in the Atlanta campaign. On October 1, 1864,
he was placed at the head of the Northern Depart-
ment, and served at the head of other departments
until he was retired, as the result of a paralytic
stroke, with full rank of major-general, in Octo-
ber, 1868. His death occurred at Garden City,
New York, October 31, 1879.
Major-General George Gordon Meade (U.
S.M.A. 1835) was born in Cadiz, Spain, Decem-
ber 31, 1815, while his father was American naval
agent at that city. He saw service in the Seminole
War, and then resigned in 1836 to take up the
practice of civil engineering. He reentered the
army and served with the Topographical En-
gineer Corps during the Mexican War. He was
afterward employed on river and harbor im-
provements, lighthouse construction, and the sur-
vey of tlie Great Lakes, until the Civil War broke
out, when he was commissioned brigadier-general
of volunteers and put in command of a brigade in
the Pennsylvania Reserve in the Army of the
Potomac. Later, he commanded the First and
Fifth corps and was made general commanding
of the army, June 28, 1863. He was in chief com-
mand at Gettysburg. On August 18, 1864, he re-
ceived a commission as major-general in the regu-
lar army, and served therein until his death, in
Philadelphia, November 6, 1872.
Armu of t\}t (HnxmBBtt
The troops in the Military District of Cairo
were under the command of Brigadier-General
U. S. Grant from August 1, 1861, until February,
1862. The District of West Tennessee was or-
ganized February 17, 1862, and Grant was at its
head until October 16th. His forces were known
as the Army of West Tennessee, and were in-
cluded in those of the Department of Mississippi,
under Major-General Halleck. With this force,
consisting of six divisions and some unassigned
troops, Grant fought the battle of Shiloh. On
October 16, 1862, the Department of Tennessee
was created to include Cairo, western Kentucky
and Tennessee, and northern Mississippi. Grant
was commander until October 24, 1863, when the
Military Division of the Mississippi was organized
to include the Departments of the Ohio, Tennessee,
Cumberland, and of Arkansas. The troops in the
Department of Tennessee were designated the
Thirteenth Army Corps until December 18, 1862,
when they were reorganized into the Thirteenth,
Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth corps. Suc-
ceeding Grant, this force, usually called the Army
of the Tennessee, was successively commanded
by Major-Generals W. T. Sherman, James B.
^NlcPherson, John A. Logan, and O. O. Howard.
This army took part in the capture of Vicksburg,
battle of Chattanooga, Atlanta campaign, and
Sherman's campaigns in Georgia and the Caro-
linas. A detachment of it was with the Red River
expedition, in 1864.
Major-Gexkral James Birdseye IMcPherson
(U.S.M.A. 1853) was born in Sandusky, Ohio,
November 14, 1828. He practised engineering in
the Government employ and also taught it at
West Point. When the war broke out, he raised a
force of engineers, and later he was aide to Major-
General Halleck. In December, 1862, he was given
command of the Seventeenth Corps. His services

The Department of Kentucky, which consti-
tuted tlie whole of that State within a hundred
miles of the Ohio River, was merged in the Depart-
ment of the Cumberland, comprising the States
of Kentucky and Tennessee, August 15, 1861. On
November 9th, it was renamed the Department of
the Ohio, the States of Ohio, Michigan, and In-
diana being added. The troops in this region
(over whom McClellan, Rosecrans, O. M. Mitchel,
Robert Anderson, and W. T. Sherman had, at
different times and places, control) were now
organized into the Army of the Ohio, with Major-
General Don Carlos Buell in command. Although
[
until the Civil War broke out, when he left the
regular army to command the Third Maine Vol-
unteers. He headed a brigade in the first battle
of Bull Run and was promoted to brigadier-gen-
eral of volunteers in September, 1861. At Fair
Oaks, where he lost his right arm, he achieved dis-
tinction as an able fighter. After Antietam, he
commanded a division of the Second Corps, and
later, as major-general of volunteers, the corps
itself for a short time. On April 2, 1863, the
Flevcnth Corps was given him, and it was these
troops that were so badly routed by " Stonewall "
Jackson at Chancellorsville. In September, 1863,
Howard and his corps were transferred to the
Army of the Cumberland, in which he became
leader of the Fourth Corps, April, 1864. How-
ard's services at Gettysburg, Lookout Mountain,
and Missionary Ridge were conspicuous. He ac-
companied Sherman to the relief of Knoxville, and
fought in all the battles of the Atlanta campaign,
succeeding Major-General McPherson to the com-
mand of the Army of the Tennessee, and marching
with Sherman through Georgia and the Carolinas.
After tlie close of the war he commanded the
Nez Perce Indian expedition of 1877, the Ban-
nock, and Piute campaigns, and from 1880 to
1882, was superintendent of the Military Acad-
emy, West Point. He was (1865-74) commis-
sioner of tlie Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and
Abandoned Lands, and in 1895 founded the Lin-
coln Memorial University and tlie industrial school
at Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. Major-General

was much interested in Sunday-school work. He
was retired with full rank in 1894, and he died at
Burlington, Vermont, October, 26, 1909.

the department was merged into that of Missis-
sippi in March, 1862, the Army of the Ohio re-
tained its name. This was the body that brought
such timely assistance to Grant at Shiloh and drove
Bragg out of Kentucky. The army was organized
into three corps in September, 1862, but the
following month (October 24th) the Depart-
ment of the Cumberland was recreated to consist
of eastern Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, and
the Army of the Ohio, which had operated chiefly
in that region, now became ofl^cially the Four-
teenth Army Corps, but better known as the Army
of the Cumberland. On October 30th, Buell was

replaced by Major-General W. S. Ro.secraii.s, and
the Fourteenth Corps was reorganized into the
Riglit Wing, Center, and Left Wing, later the
Fourteentli, Twentieth, and Twenty-first Army
corps. The last two were afterward consolidated
as the Fourth Corps. With this army, Rosecrans
fought the battle of Stone's River, drove Bragg
across the Tennessee, and was defeated at Chicka-
mauga. Major-Gcneral George H. Thomas suc-
ceeded to the command October 20, 1863. The
army distinguished itself on Missionary Ridge and
through the Atlanta campaign (as a part of the
Military Division of the Mississippi), and in the
campaign against Hood in Tennessee. The army
had four divisions of cavalry. It had a reserve
corps for a shoi't time, and received two corps from
the Army of the Potomac, which were finally con-
solidated into the reorganized Twentieth Corps.
Major-Gexeeal Dox Carlos Buell (U.S.
M.A. 1841) was born March 23, 1818, near
Marietta, Ohio, and served in the Mexican War.
When the Civil War broke out he assisted in the
organization of volunteers, and in November,
1861, took charge of the Department and Army
of the Ohio. He was soon raised to the rank of
major-general of volunteers. His last service in
this army was the driving of Bragg out of Ken-
tucky, for this, with the preceding Tennessee
campr.'gn during the summer of 1862, aroused
such criticism that he was replaced, October 30th,
by Majoi'-Gencral Rosecrans and tried before a
military conunission. An adverse report was
handed in, and Buell resigned from the army
June 1, 1864i. He then became president of the
Green River Iron Company, and, 1885 89, was
pension-agent at Louisville. He died near Rock-
port, Kentucky, November 19, 1898.
Major-General William Starke Rosecrans
(U.S. M.A. 1842) was born at Kingston, Ohio,
September 6, 1818. He served in the Engineer
Corps and as assistant professor at West Point.
In 1854, he resigned from the army to practise
architecture and civil engineering, but at the out-
break of the Civil War he tendered his services to
the Government and was made l)rigadier-general
of the regular army, and major-general of volun-
teers in March, 1862. He succeeded McClellan
at the head of the army of occupation in western
Virginia after his victory at Rich ^Mountain, and
held it until Major-General Fremont took charge
of the Mountain Department, March 29, 1862.
From June 26th until the end of October, Rose-
[1
crans was Pope's successor in the Army of the
Mississippi and, taking command of the District
of Corinth, he defeated the Confederate forces at
luka and Corinth. He now replaced Buell in the
Army of the Cumberland. As general command-
ing he won the battle of Stone's River, but was
defeated at Chickamauga, and was succeeded by
Major-General George H. Thomas. He then
spent a year in command of the Department of
Missouri, during which he drove Price out of the
State, and on December 9, 1864, was relieved of
active command. After resigning his commission,
in 1866, he was United States minister to INIexico,
and was in Congress from 1881 to 1885. In 1889,
Congress restored him to the rank and pay of
brigadier-general. He died at Rcdondo, Cali-
fornia, :\larch 11, 1898.
Major-Gexeral George Hexry Thomas (U.
S.M.A. 1840) was born in Southampton County,
Virginia, July 31,1816. He served in the Seminole
and Mexican wars, and had risen to the grade of
lieutenant-colonel when the Civil War broke out.
In August, 1861, he was made brigadier-general
of volunteers. His first services in the war were
rendered in the Departments of Pennsylvania and
of the Shenandoah. His division of the Army of
the Ohio defeated the Confederate forces at Mill
Springs, Kentucky, January 19, 1862. This vic-
tory first brought him into notice, and shortly
afterward he was made major-general of volun-
teers. He was put at the head of the Center
(Fourteenth Corps) of the reorganized Army of
the Cumberland, and in October, 1863, he assumed
the chief connnand, distinguishing himself at Mis-
sionary Ridge, in the Atlanta campaign, and in
the crushing defeat of Bragg at Nashville. He
was promoted to major-general in the regular
army for his services at Nashville, December 15,
1864. He narrowly escaped this honor, for, impa-
tient at his delay in attacking Hood — a delay oc-
casioned by the very inclement weather — Grant
had sent j\Iajor-Gencral Logan to relieve him, and
the latter was on the way. He had also shown
himself a gallant fighter in the earlier battles of
Stone's River, and Chickamauga, where he held the
left wing of the army against tremendous odds.
This feat is considered one of the most glorious of
the whole war. With the right wing of the army
routed and in utter confusion, Thomas kept his
position against the whole of Bragg's army until
ordered to withdraw. He declined the brevet of
lieutenant-general, which President Johnson of-
fered him in 1868. Two years later he died in
San Francisco, March 28, 1870.

S. A. Hurlbut, and E. R. S. Canby, who com-
manded after the close of the war. There were, at
first, many separate bodies of troops scattered
over the department. One of these, the Nine-
teenth Army Corps, was organized in January,
1863, and was discontinued as a corps in this
department November 7, 1864. The Thirteenth
Army Corps joined this army from that of the
Tennessee in August, 1863, and remained until
June, 1864. A detachment of the Sixteenth Corps,
also from the Army of the Tennessee, joined for

ernment. He was made major-general of volun-
teers, and was appointed to the command of the

was detached April 4, 1862, and remained in the
Shenandoah Valley, where Banks had command
until that corps was merged in the Army of Vir-
ginia, June 26, 1862. After the Army of Vir-
ginia was discontinued, Banks was at the head
of the Military District of Washington until Oc-
tober 27, 1862. He succeeded Major-General
B. F. Butler in command of the Department of
the Gulf, and was actively engaged along the

On the reorganization of the Army of the
Potomac in March, 186^2, a body of troops, chiefly
from Heintzelman's, Porter's and Hooker's divi-
sions of the earlier organization, was constituted
the Tliird Army Corps. In May, Porter's men
■were transferrctl to the new provisional Fifth
Army Corps. The future additions to the corps
were chiefly from the Eighth and Twenty-second
corps. The corps fought in the battles of the
Army of the Potomac, and two divisions were sent
to the assistance of the Army of Virginia at Sec-
ond Bull Run and Chantilly. On March 21,
186-i, it was merged in the Second Corps. Its

Third Division at Bull Run, and in subsequent or-
ganizations of the Army of the Potomac he had
a brigade, a division, and afterward the Third
Corps, which he commanded until November,
1862. His conduct at Fair Oaks won him a brevet
of brigadier-general, for he was now major-gen-
eral of volunteers. He fought through the Pen-
insida camp;iign, and was sent to assist Pope at
Second Bull Run and Chantilly. He was in com-
mand of the defenses and later of the Depart-
ment of Washington (Twenty-second Army

ginia campaign, and as brigatlier-general of vol-
unteers he had the cavalry connnand in the Army
of the Potomac. It was his troops that brought

division of the same organization. After a raid"
in the Atlanta campaign, in which he was cap-
tured and held prisoner for three months, he as-
sumed connnand of the Department of the Ohio,
and later the District of East Tennessee, where
his operations were very successful, especially his
raid into North Carolina, in April, 1865. He

Cliancellorsvillc campaign, but, excepting one bri-
gade, it was held in reserve at Gettysburg. Several
changes were made in the reorganization of March,

IEbu^utI][ Armg (Harps
Whex the Army of Virginia was discontinued,
September 12, 1862, its First Corps, which had
been the troops of the Mountain Department
under Rosecrans and Fremont, and had been led
by Sigel in the Pope campaign, Avas merged in the
Army of the Potomac as the Eleventh Corps. It
remained on the line of Manassas during the Antic-
tam campaign, did not reach Fredericksburg in
time for the battle, and at Chancellorsville was
badly routed by "Stonewall" Jackson, because its
commander allowed himself to be surprised. In
this battle about twelve thousand troops were pres-
ent. It was one of the two cor})s heavily engaged
[21
on the first day at Gettysburg. After that battle,
one division was sent to Charleston Harbor, and
the other two went with Hooker to Tennessee to as-
sist Grant in the Chattanooga campaign. These
two divisions then went with Sherman to the relief
of Knoxville, and shared all the great hardships
of the march. In April, 186-i, these troops were
merged in the new Twentieth Army Corps, for the
Atlanta campaign. The leaders of the Eleventh
Corps were IMajor-General Franz Sigel, Brigadier-
General J. H. Stahel, Major-General Carl Schurz,
Brigadier-General A. von Steinwchr, and Major-
General O. O. Howard.
Major-General Franz Sigel was born in Sin-
slieim, Baden, November 18, 182-i, and was grad-
uated from the MiHtary School at Carlsrulic, be-
coming a champion of German unity and minister
of war to the revolutionary Government of 1848,
which was overthrown by Prussia. Later, having
withdrawn to Switzerland, the Government expelled
him, and he emigrated to America in 1852. He
taught in a military institute in St. Louis and
edited a military periodical. When the Civil War
broke out, he organized the Third INIissouri Infan-
try and an artillery battery, and after assisting
Captain Lyon in the capture of Camp Jackson, he
served in Missouri, at Carthage and at Springfield.
As brigadier-general of volunteers, he was cons])ic-
uous for his bravery at Pea Ridge, and as major-
general of volunteers was placed in command of
Harper's Ferry in June, 1862. Then he served in
the Army of Virginia, in command of its First
Corps, out of which the Eleventh Corps, Army of
the Potomac, was created. He relinquished the
latter in January, 1863. On March 10, 1864, he
succeeded Brigadier-General B. F. Kellcy in the
command of the Department of West Virginia, but
after the defeat at New Market, May 15th, he was
relieved by Major-General Hunter and given the
division at Harper's Ferry, where he successfully
held out against Lieutenant-General Early. In
July, 1864, he was relieved from his command, and
he resigned from the army in INIay, 1865. After
the war, he edited a German paper in Baltimore,
and later was register and United States pension-
agent in New York city. He was well known as a
lecturer and editor of the "New York IMonthly," a
German periodical. He died in New York city,
August 21, 1902.
INIajor-General Carl Schurz was born in
Cologne, Prussia, 'jMarch 2, 1829, studying there
in the gynmasium and later at the University of
Bonn. He was engaged in the revolutionary move-
ment in 1848, and was compelled to seek refuge in
Switzerland. In 1852, he came to the United
States and settled in Philadcl])hia, later going to
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he began the prac-
tice of law. Lincoln appointed him United States
minister to Spain, but he resigned to take part in
the Civil War. As brigadier-general of volunteers,
he commanded a division of the First Corps, Army
of V irginia, at Second Bull Run, and at Chanccl-
lorsville a division of the Eleventh Corps. At
Gettysburg he had connnand, as major-general of
volunteers, of the Eleventh Corps, temporarily, and
again in January and February, 1864. At Chat-
tanooga, he took an active part. In March, 1864,
he was put in charge of a corps of instruction near
Nashville, and at the close of the war was chicf-of-
staff to Major-General Slocum in the Army of
Georgia. He resigned from the volunteer service
in ]\Iay, 1865, and became a newspaper corres-
pondent in Washington, and, in 1866, founded
the Detroit Post. He was senator from Missouri
(1869-1875), and Secretary of the Interior from
1877 to 1881, and editor of the New York Even-
ing Post from 1881 to 1884. He was an enthusi-
astic advocate of civil-service reform and other
political movements. He was a writer and speaker
of note, and died in New York city. May 14, 1906.
Stui^Iftl^ Armg (Harps
Created September 12, 1862, from the Second
Corps, Army of Virginia, the troops of which, under
Major-General N. P. Banks, had been in the De-
partment of the Shenandoah, and in earlier organ-
izations of the Army of the Potomac. It was the
smallest corps in the army, and in the early days
contained about twelve thousand men. The com-
mand was given to Major-General J. F. K. Mans-
field, who was killed at Antietam, the first battle
of the new corps. Its next battle was that of
Chancellorsville where, with the Third, it bore the
real brunt of the fight. After Gettysburg, in
which we remember the Twelfth by its gallant de-
fense of Culps' Hill, it went with Hooker to Ten-
nessee where one division opened the line of sup-
plies to the starving Army of the Cumberland and
fought "the battle in the clouds" on Lookout
iNIountain. In April, 1864, the Twelfth Corps was
merged in the newly formed Twentieth, for the At-
lanta campaign. After jNIansficld's death, the com-
mand of the Twelfth Corps was held by Major-
General H. W. Slocum except for very brief pe-
riods, when it was headed by Brigadier-General A.
S. Williams, the senior division commander. In its
short career, the corps is said to have never lost a
gun or a color.

vania. Passing through the various organizations
of the Army of the Potomac, he was given a divi-
sion in the Fifth Corps, which became the Second
Corps, Army of Virginia, and the Twelfth Corps,
Army of the Potomac, and finally was merged in
the Twentieth Corps, Army of the Cumberland.
Williams was the only general to lead the same
division through the whole of the war, although at
various times he temporarily headed the corps in
which he was placed. He was corps commander at
Antietam, after Mansfield fell ; at Gettysburg, and
also on the march to the sea and in the campaign

On October 24, 1862, the troops in the newly
created Department of the Tennessee, under
Major-General Grant, were designated the Thir-
teenth Army Corps, and Major-General W. T.
Sherman was put in command. The troops were
scattered in many districts. Sherman organized
four of the divisions into the Yazoo Expedition,
and started on the campaign that ended in failure
at Chickasaw Bluffs, December 29, 1862. On
December 18th, the corps was subdivided, and the
Army of the Tennessee now consisted of the Thir-
teenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth
corps. Brigadier-General Morgan succeeded Sher-
man, who commanded the whole department, at the
head of the new Thirteenth Army Corps. The
corps went with Major-General McClemand (Jan-
uary 4-12, 1863) on the expedition to Arkansas
Post, the expedition being known as McClemard's
Army of the Mississippi, in which the Thirteenth
Corps became the First Corps for that period.
Following Morgan, the commanders of the Thir-
teenth Corps were Major-Generals J. A. McCler-
nand, E. O. C. Ord (who succeeded when McCler-
nand was relieved at Vicksburg), and C. C. Wash-
burn. One division fought the battle of Helena
(July 4, 1863), and the battle of Port Gibson
(May 1, 1863) was fought almost entirely by it.
[
After Vicksburg, the corps invested Jackson, and
on August 7th it was transferred to the Army of
the Gulf, where its chief active service (two divi-
sions) took place in the Red River campaign of
1864. New commanders of the corps while in the
Army of the Gulf were Major-General N. J. T.
Dana, and Brigadier-Generals T. E. G. Ransom,
R. A. Cameron, M. K. Lawler, and W. P. Benton.
On June 11, 1864, the troops of the corps were
transferred to other commands, but they were
largely brought together again for the Resen'e
Corps, Army of the Gulf, in December, 1864, out
of which on February 18, 1865, a new Tliirteenth
Army Corps was created, which, under command of
General Gordon Granger, took pa,rt in the capture
of Mobile, in April, 1865. The corps was discon-

commanded by Major-General A. McDowell Mc-
Cook. It bore the chief part in the battle of
Perry ville, Kentucky (October 8, 1862), and the
campaign against Bragg in Kentucky. On Octo-
ber 24th, it was merged in tlie Fourteenth Corps,
known as tlie Army of the Cumberland.
This corps fought at Bardstown in tlie cam-
paign against Bragg. It was headed by Major-
General T. L. Crittenden. It constituted the right
v/ing of the army, and was accompanied by Major-
General George H, Thomas, who was second in
command in the Army of the Ohio. Like the First
Corps it had a brief existence, and it was merged
in the Fourteenth Corps, October 24, 1862.
This corps was commanded by Major-General
C. C. Gilbert. It took part in the Kentucky cam-
paign, but was only slightly engaged in Perryville.
Its three divisions were commanded by Brigadier-
Generals SchoepfF, Mitchell, and Sheridan and
Colonel Kennett. It was merged in the Fourteenth
Corps, October 24, 1862.

ice ; its most important battle being the one at Bev-
erly Ford, Virginia, on June 9, 1863. Its liardest
fighting took place in the Wilderness campaign of
1864. The corps was broken up in May, 1865.

LOUISIANA VOLUNTEERS WHICH SUFFERED THE HEAVIEST LOSS OF ANY CON-
FEDERATE REGIMENT ENGAGED IN THE FIGHT AT PORT REPUBLIC, JUNE 9, 1862
THE pcriiiuncnt Constitution of tiic Confeder-
ate States of America provided that the Pres-
ident should be commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, and of the militia of the several States
when called into actual service. Accordingly, in
any consideration of the Confederate arm}', the
part played by President Davis must be borne in
mind ; also the fact that he previously had seen
service in the United States army and that he had
been Secretary of War of the United States. As
Secretaries of War in the Confederate States Gov-
ernment there were associated with President
Davis, the following: LeRoy Pope Walker, of Ala-
bama, February '21, 1861, to September 17, 1861 ;
Judah P. Benjannn, of Louisiana, September 17,
1861, to Alardi 17, 186J2; George W. Ran-
dol})h, of Mrginia, Alarcii 17, 1862, to November
17, 1862; Major-General Gustavus W. Smith, of
Kentucky, November 17, 1862, to November 21,
1862 ; James A. Seddon, of Virginia, from No-
vember 21, 1862, to February 6, 1865 ; and Major-
General John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, Feb-
ruary 6, 186.5, to the close of the war.
Unlike the Union army there were generals, both
regular and of tlie provisional army, as well as
lieutenant-generals ; it being the intention that
every commander of an army should rank as gen-
eral, and every commander of a corps should rank
as lieutenant-general. Such was the case with
tlie generals mentioned in the biographical matter
following in connection with the various armies
and other organizations. An exception to this
statement was General Samuel Cooper, who served
at Richmond as adjutant and inspector-general.
Gkkeuat, Samuel Cooper (U.S.jM.A. 1815)
was born in Hackensack, New Jersey, June 12,
1798, and served in the army, receiving the brevet
of colonel for his services in the Mexican War.
He resigned in March, 1861, to enter the service of
the Confederacy. He was appointed general on
]\Iay 16th, but, owing to his age, took no active
part in the field. He was adjutant and inspector-
general of the Confederate States army through-
out tlie entire war, performing his duties with
great tlioroughness and al)ility. He died at Came-
ron, Mrginia, December 53, 1876.
Army of tli^
Majok-Gexerai. Kextox Harper, of the Vir-
ginia State forces, had collected al)out two thou-
sand ^'irginia volunteers at Harper's Ferry as
early as April 21, 1861. He was relieved on
the 28th by Colonel Thomas .1. Jackson, and
the mustering in of volunteers went rapidly on.
On May 2-tth, Brigadier-General Joseph E. John-
ston assumed command of the troops, and on
June 30th, there were 10,651< present for duty,
in four brigades and cavali-y. This was the force
that opposed Major-General Patterson in the Val-
ley, and it was known as the Army of the Shenan-
doah. It took part in the engagement at Falling
Waters, July 2d, and the skirmishes near Bunker
Hill and Charlestown. Strengthened with eight
Southern regiments, this army started for Manas-
sas, on July 18th, and took part in the first battle
of Bull Run. After this, it formed a part of the
Confederate Army of the Potomac.
General Joseph Egglestox Johxston (U.S.
M.A. 1829) was bom in Cherry Grove, near Farm-
ville, Virginia, February 3, 1807. He served in the
Black Hawk, Seminole, and ^Mexican wars, in the
last of which he was twice severely wounded. He
resigned his rank of brigadier-general to enter the
Confederate service on April 20, 1861, and was
given the rank of general in August. He was in
connnand at Harper's Ferry after ]May 24th, and
headed the Army of the Shenandoah. He brought
his troops to jManassas and superseded Beaure-
gard in the command, at Bull Run, joining his
force to the Arm^' of the Potomac. In command
of the Army of Northern Virginia, he was severely
wounded at Fair Oaks. In November, 1862, he was
assigned to the head of the Department of Ten-
nessee, but outside of an attempt to relieve Pem-
berton at Vicksburg in May, 1863, he saw no active
service until he assumed command of the Army of
Tennessee in December, 1863. He opposed Sher-
man during the Atlanta campaign of 1864, being
superseded by General Hood on July 18th. His
strategy was much criticised at the time, but it is
now recognized that he displayed great ability
during the campaign. In February, 1865, he was
again given command of the Army of Tennessee,

The Depabtment of the Peninsula was es-
tablished on May 26, 1861, and Colonel John B.
Magruder was put in command. The troops there-
in were organized into divisions in November, and
denominated the Army of the Peninsula. In De-
cember, the aggregate present was about sixteen
thousand. On April 12, 1862, it was merged in
the Army of Northern Virginia — constituting,
under Major-General Magruder, the right wing
of that army.
]\Iajor-General John Bankhead Magruder
(U.S.M.A. 1830) was bom at Winchester, Vir-
ginia, August 15, 1810, and served in the Seminole
and Mexican wars. He was stationed in Washing-
ton in 1861, and resigned in April to enter the
Confederate service as colonel. He had charge of
the artillery in and around Richmond, and after
]May 21st, a division in the Department of the
Peninsula, the troops of which were later desig-
nated the Army of the Peninsula. On June 10th,
his division repelled the attack of Major-General
B. F. Butler at Big Bethel, for which feat he was
made brigadier-general. In October, he was pro-
moted to major-general. Having fortified the Pen-
insula, he kept McClellan's army in check in April,
1862. On April 18th, his forces became the Right
Wing of the Army of Northern Virginia, and he
commanded it during the Peninsula campaign.
Magruder was then appointed to the Trans-Mis-
sissippi Department, in order to prosecute the war
more vigorously in the West, but the assignment
was changed, and in October, 1862, he was given
the District of Texas, which was afterward en-
larged to include New Mexico and Arizona. Ma-
gruder recaptured Galveston, January 1, 1863, and
kept the port open. After the war he served in
the army of Maximilian, and after the fall of the
Mexican empire settled in Houston, Texas, where
he died, February 19, 1871.

The troops assigned to operate in northwest-
ern Virginia were placed under the command of
Brigadier-General R. S. Garnett on June 8, 1861,
and were subsequently known as the Army of the
Northwest. This was the force that opposed Mc-
Clcllan and Rosecrans in West Virginia, and was
defeated at Rich Mountain and other places. On
July 13th, Garnett was killed while retreating, and
Brigadier-General Henry R. Jackson was put in
connnand, to be superseded, within a week, by Brig-
adier-General W. W. Loring. Early in 1862, dis-
sension arose between Loring and T. J. Jackson,
commanding the Valley District (Department of
Northern Virginia), which led to the latter pre-
ferring charges against the commander of the
Army of the Northwest. As a result, the Secretary
of War, on February 9, 1862, divided the army,
sending some of the regiments to Knoxville, some to
the Aquia District, and the remainder to the Army
of the Potomac (Department of Northern Virginia).
After this, the forces under Brigadier-General Ed-
ward Johnson stationed at Camp Alleghany, and
sometimes called the Army of the Alleghany, con-
tinued to be called the Army of the Northwest. Its
aggregate strength in March, 1862, was about four
thousand. It finally came under Jackson in the
Valley District and passed into the Army of
Northern Virginia.
Brigadier-General Robert Selden Garnett
(U.S.M.A. 1841) was bom in Essex County, Vir-
ginia, December 16, 1819, and served in the Mex-
ican War as aide to General Taylor. At the out-
break of the Civil War he entered the Confederate
service, and in June, 1861, was appointed briga-
dier-general, with command of the Army of the
Northwest. In the action at Carrick's Ford he was
killed, June 13, 1861.
Brigadier-General Henry Rootes Jackson
was born in Athens, Georgia, June 24, 1820, and
became a lawyer. He served in the Mexican War
as colonel of the First Georgia Volunteers, and was
charge d'affaires at Vienna, in 1863. As United
States district attorney for Georgia he aided in

General Garnett was killed. He resigned his com-
mission because he could not obtain leave of ab-
sence to take charge of the Georgia coast defenses,
to which post he was called by the Governor of
Georgia, who made him a major-general in com-
mand of the State troops. After these became part
of the Confederate army, in 1862, Jackson received
no commission until July, 186-i, when he was as-
signed a brigade in the Army of Tennessee. Dur-
ing the battle of Nashville he was made prisoner
and not released until the close of the war, when
he returned to Savannah to practise law. He was
United States minister to INIexico in 1885, and died
in Savannah, May 23, 1898.
Major-General Wili,iam Wing Loring was
born in Wilmington, North Carolina, December 4,
1818, and served in the Seminole and Mexican
wars. In the latter he lost an arm. Later, he was
colonel of a regiment sent against the Indians in
New Mexico. He resigned from the army to enter
the Confederate service, and came into command
of the Army of the Northwest, July 20, 1861. He
was made major-general in February, 1862. His
chief active service was in Kentucky, and in Mis-
sissippi, before and during the Vicksburg cam-
paign ; in that same State under Polk, and as di-
vision commander in the Army of Mississippi in the
Atlanta campaign, and in the Army of Tennessee
at Franklin and Nashville, and under Johnston in
the Carolinas. After the war he went to Egypt,
where he served as general in command of a division
in the army of the Khedive. He died in New York
city, December 30, 1886.
Major-General Edward Johnson (U.S.M.
A. 1838) was born in Chesterfield County, Vir-

War. He entered the Confederate army and was
made a brigadier-general, commanding the North-
west forces directly under jMajor-General T. J.
Jackson, in May, 1862. The next year (Febru-
ary, 1863), he was made major-general. He had
a division in the Second Corps, Army of Northern
Virginia, and in September, 1864, was assigned to
the division of the Second Corps, Army of Tennes-
see. He died in Richmond, Virginia, March 2,1873.

On May 24, 1861, Brigadier-General M. L.
Bonham was placed in command of the troops on
the line of Alexandria. On the 31st, he was relieved
by Brigadier-General P. G. T. Beauregard. The
forces here gathered were denominated the Army
of the Potomac (afterward First Corps, Army of
the Potomac) and consisted of six brigades, some
unattached troops, and artillery, by the date of
the battle of Bull Run. The Army of the Shenan-
doah joined this force on July 20th, when John-
ston superseded Beauregard. The Department of
Northern Virginia was created October 22, 1861,
with Johnston at its head. It included tlie Dis-
trict of the Potomac (Beauregard) ; Valley Dis-
trict (T. J. Jackson), and Aquia District (T. H.
Holmes.) In February, 1862, some of the troops
in the Army of the Northwest came under John-
ston's control, giving his entire command a strength
of over eighty-two thousand. Beauregard had
been sent to Kentucky on January 29th, and the
troops in the Potomac district were now divided
into four divisions with several separate detach-
ments. On March 14th, the Army of the Potomac
was denominated the Army of Northern Virginia.
The total force then amounted to about fifty-five
thousand.

General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beaure-
gard (U.S.M. A. 1838) was bom near New Or-

War, and at the outbreak of the Civil War re-
signed his connnission (February 20, 1861), to
enter the Confederate army as a brigadier-general,
being given command of the Confederate forces
bombarding Fort Sumter. He took command of
the Army of the Potomac on June 20th. After Bull
Run he was made general. He was given the com-
mand of the Army of the Mississippi in March,
1862, and was second in command after A. S.
Johnston joined his forces with it. After the lat-
tcr's death at Shiloh, Beauregard remained at tlic
head of the army until after the withdrawal from
Corinth at the end of May. In 1863, he defended
Charleston, and after May, 1G64, cooperated with
Lee in the defense of Petersburg and Richmond.
He commanded the Confederate forces in the Car-
olinas in 1866, merging them with those under
General J. E. Johnston, and surrendered his army
to Sherman. After the war, he was a railroad pres-
ident, adjutant-general of Louisiana, and manager

assumed command. In April, the forces on tlie
Peninsula had been included in this army, and
now the troops in eastern Virginia and North Car-
olina were made part of it. By the end of July,
1862, the division organization had been further
concentrated into three commands, or corps,
headed by Major-Generals T. J. Jackson, James
Longstrcct, and D. H. Hill, with cavalry under
Brigadier-General J. E. B. Stuart, and artillery

sand. Subsequently, the army took a more per-
manent form in two corps commanded by Jackson
and Longstreet, with cavalry corps and artillery
separate. Lieutenant-General A. P. Hill was given

May 30, 1863, this was divided, with additions
from the First Corps, into tlie Second and Third

Ewell and A. P. Hill respectively. The army
numbered about seventy thousand in the Gettys-

body of the army continued throughout the war,
although other generals, for various reasons, com-
manded the corps from time to time. A new
corps of North Carolina and Virginia troops under
Lieutenant-General R. H. Anderson was added at
the end of 1864. Longstreet's corps, with the ex-
ception of Pickett's division, was with the Army

Brigadier-General S. B. Buckneb assumed
command of the forces in central Kentucky, Sep-
tember, 1861, and he was followed October 28th,
by General Albert Sidney Johnston. The troops
were organized in two divisions with a reserve, and

Armjj of East Q^nnxtB^n — Armg of Kruturkg
In February, 1862, Major-General E. Kirby
Smith was sent to Knoxville to assume command
of the troops in East Tennessee. With the army
thus organized, it was intended to create a diversion
in favor of General A. S. Johnston's operations
wfth the Army of the ]\Iississippi. The Army of
East Tennessee was engaged in many minor en-
gagements. On August 25th, the organization was
designated the Army of Kentucky and was com-
posed of three divisions. It led the advance in
Bragg's invasion of Kentucky and was successful
at the battle of Richmond, August 30th, raising
great hopes for the Confederate conquest of Ken-
tucky. On November 20, 1862, the Army of
Kentucky was merged as Smith's Corps in the
Army of Tennessee.
General Edmund Kirby Smith (U.S.M.A.

From troops in the Western Department ( De-
partment No. 2) was created the Army of the INIis-
sissippi on March 5, 1862, and to General P. G.
T. Beauregard was given the connnand. The army
was divided into two corps headed by Major-Gen-
erals Leonidas Polk and Braxton Bragg. On
March 29th, the army was joined to the Central
Army of Kentucky with its three divisions, reserve
corps, and cavalry. General A. S. Johnston, of
the latter, took command of the Army of the Mis-
sissippi, that name having been preserved. Bcaure-
gai'd was second in connnand. The whole body was
gathered at Corinth (except a force at Fort Pil-
low) in three corps, a reserve corps, and cavalry,
and this was the organization that fought at Shi-
loh, when its strength was about forty thousand.
The death of General Johnston placed the chief
command upon General Beauregard, who was re-
lieved June 27, 1862, by Major-Gcneral Hardee,
and he, on August 15th, by Major-General Bragg.
The army was transferred to Chattanooga in July.
Major-General Polk had temporary command
from September 28th to November 7, 1862, when,
on the return of Bragg, the organization was called
the Army of Tennessee.
Genp;ral Albert Sidney Johnston (U.S.M.
A. 1826) was born in Wasliington, Mason County,
Kentucky, February 3, 1803. He served in the
Black Hawk War and resigned his commission in
183-i. Two years later, he entered the army of
the Texan Republic as a private, soon becoming
a brigadier-general, and in 1838 was conunander-
in-chief of the army of Texas and Secretary of
War. Later, he reentered the United States
Army and served in the ]\Iexican War with
distinction. As colonel, he conducted an ex-
pedition against the Mormons in Utah in
1857, which won him a brevet of brigadier-gen-
eral. He remained in connnand in Utah until Feb-
ruary, 1860. At the outbreak of the Civil War,
lie was in command of the Department of the
Pacific, but, by reason of his Southern sympathies,
he resigned his commission to enter the Confeder-
ate service with the rank of general. He assumed
command of Department No. 2, or Western De-
partment, on September 15, 1861. In October he
took immediate control of the Central Army of ;
Kentucky, holding the line of Bowling Green, Ken-
tucky, until February, 1862, against vastly supe- j
rior numbers. On March 29, 1862, this army
united with the Army of the Mississippi and Johns-
ton took command of the new organization. He
was killed on the battlefield of Shiloli, April 6,
1862, and his death was a stunning blow to the
new Confederacy. !

The joining of the Army of Kentucky with the
Army of the Mississippi, on November 20, 1862,
was the origin of the Army of Tennessee — the
great Confederate army of the West. There were
three corps and a division of cavalry, with an ef-
fective total of forty-seven thousand. General
Braxton Bragg was in command. This army
fought tlie battle of Stone's River, went through
the Tullahoma campaign, and fought the battle
of Chickamauga, assisted by Longstreet's Corps
from the Army of Northern Virginia. It was
driven from Chattanooga in November, 1863, by
Grant's forces. After the battle of Chickamauga,
the corps were reorganized several times. Bragg
was removed from the command on December 2,
1863, and until General Johnston assumed it, on
December 27th, both Hardee and Polk were in tem-
porary command. Polk was sent to the Depart-
ment of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana
before the end of December. The army spent the
winter around Dalton, Georgia, and faced Sher-
man's advance in May, 1864, in two infantry and
one cavalry corps. Polk brought back his divi-
sions, which he called the Army of Mississippi, and
these forces were consolidated with the Army of
Tennessee on July 26th, after Polk had been killed.
On July 18th, Johnston was replaced by General
John B. Hood. After the capture of Atlanta, the
army returned to Tennessee, and, failing to cut
off Major-General Schofield's command at Frank-
lin, was routed by Major-General Thomas at
Nashville (December 15-16, 1864). In February,
1865, General Johnston was again placed in com-
mand of the Army of Tennessee, as well as the
troops in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
The army had greatly dwindled. Lieutenant-Gen-
eral A. P. Stewart was at the actual head of the
Army of Tennessee after March 16th, and Johns-
ton's enlarged command included troops from the
far South under Hardee, which, in February, had
been organized in a corps, and those in North Car-
olina under Bragg. The aggregate present of the
old Army of Tennessee was about twenty thou-
sand. The army surrendered to Sherman in North
Carolina, April 26, 1865.
General Braxton Bragg (U.S.M.A. 1837)
was born in Warren County, North Carolina,
March 22, 1817, and served in the Seminole and
IVIexican wars. He resigned from the army in
1859, and became an extensive planter in Louis-
iana. On the secession of Louisiana, he was made
a brigadier-general in the Confederate provi-
sional army, and was the first commander of the
military forces of Louisiana. After being ap-
pointed major-general in September, he took com-
mand of the forces in Alabama and West Florida
from October, 1861, to February, 1862. He com-
manded the right wing of the Army of the Missis-
sippi at Shiloh, and was made general after the
death of Albert Sidney Johnston. He succeeded
Beauregard as commander of tlie Army of the Mis-
sissippi (or Tennessee), and led it into Kentucky
in September, 1862, and after his retreat therefrom,
was defeated by Rosecrans at Stone's River (Jan-
uary, 1863). He in turn defeated Rosecrans at
Chickamauga, but was driven from Chattanooga
by Grant in November, 1863. Bragg was now re-
lieved of the Army of Tennessee, and, later, was
given control of the Confederate army's military
operations at Richmond. As commander of tlie
Department of North Carolina, he failed in at-
tempts to check Sherman and prevent the fall of
Wilmington. After February, 1865, he cooperated
with Johnston and surrendered with the latter.
Later on, he was state engineer of Alabama, and
died in Galveston, Texas, September 27, 1876.
General John Bell Hood (U.S.M.A. 1853)
was born in Owingsville, Kentucky, June 1, 1831,
and fought against the Comanche Indians in Tex-
as. He resigned from the army in April, 1861, to
enter the Confederate service. After serving as
captain in the cavalry and colonel of a Texas regi-
ment, he received the appointment of brigadier-
general in March, 1862. He was made major-gen-
eral in October, 1862, after taking a conspicuous
part in the Virginia campaigns. At Gettysburg,
he commanded the largest division in Longstreet's
Corps. In September, he went to Tennessee
with Longstreet's Corps, which he commanded
at Chickamauga, where he lost a leg. After
the battle, he was given the rank of lieutenant-
general, and at the head of the Second Corps
in the Army of Tennessee, took part in the
Atlanta campaign from May to July 18, 1864,
when he succeeded Johnston in the command
of the army with the temporary rank of gen-
eral. He lost Atlanta, and, returning to Tennes-
see, was driven into Alabama by INIajor-General
Thomas in the middle of December. In January,
1865, he was relieved of his command and was
ordered to Richmond. After the war, he went to
New Orleans, where he died, August 30, 1879.

sippi from Columbus, Kentucky, to Memphis, and
in the interior of Tennessee and Mississippi. It
numbered about twenty-five thousand men. On
the organization of the Army of the jMississippi in
March, 186^2, this division was called the First
Grand Division, and after the consolidation with
the Central Army of Kentucky, on jNIarch 29th, the
Fii'st Corps, Army of the Mississippi. On August
15th, Polk's Corps was reorganized as the Right
Wing in ten divisions, with over fifteen thousand
present for duty. In the Army of Tennessee, the
Right Wing became the First, or Polk's Corps.
After the battle of Chickamauga, Polk was relieved
of the commaTid, and both corps of the army un-
derwent reorganization. The leading corps was
thereafter known as Hardee's, or Cheatham's
Corps, from the names of its commanders.
Lieftexant-Gexeral Leoxidas Polk (U.S.
M.A. 1827) was born in Raleigh, North Carolina,
April 10, 1806. He left the army for the church,
and eventually became the first Protestant Episco-
pal Bishop of Louisiana, in 18-11. In 1861, he
entered the Confederate army and was made ma-
jor-general in June. He was assigned to the com-
mand of the Western Department (No. 2) ; and in
September he was replaced by General A. S. Johns-
ton and given the First Division, Army of the Mis-
sissippi, with which he won the battle of Belmont in
November. He led the First Corps at Shiloh, and
later had temporary command of the army itself.
In October, 1862, he was given the rank of lieuten-
ant-general, and accompanied the Western Con-
federate army until after Chickamauga, where he
connnanded the Right Wing when he was tempo-
rarily suspended, but the charge of delay on his
part was dismissed by President Davis. In the
winter of 1863-61<, he was in command of the
Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East
Louisiana, and brought his forces, which he called
the Army of Mississippi, to Georgia in May, 186-t,
to assist Johnston in opposing Sherman's ad-
vance to Atlanta. On Pine Mountain, near Mar-
ietta, Georgia, he was killed by a cannon-ball, June
14, 1864.
Ma jor-General Ben JAMIN Franklin Cheath-
am was born in Nashville, Tennessee, October 20,
1820. He entered the Mexican War, rising to the
[2
rank of colonel after distinguished service at Mon-
terey and elsewhere. At the close of this war he
became major-general of the Tennessee militia,
and when the Civil War broke out he attached him-
self to the Confederate cause and organized the
entire supply department for the Western troops.
As brigadier-general, he served under Polk at Bel-
mont, and had a division of the First Corps, Army
of the Mississippi, at Shiloh, and was commander of
the Right Wing of the same army during Bragg's
invasion of Kentucky in 1862. He led his division
at Stone's River, through the Tullahoma cam-
paign, and at Chickamauga, and after that battle
was head of Cheatham's Corps, an organization
formed upon the departure of Polk from the army,
and of which Hardee shortly afterward took com-
mand. In the Atlanta campaign he led a division
in Hardee's Corps, and assumed command of the
corps, which later was known as Cheatham's Corps,
after the departure of Hardee for Savannah in Oc-
tober, 1864, with which he continued until the sur-
render at Durham Station. After the war he be-
came a farmer in Tennessee, and was appointed
postmaster of Nashville in 1885. He died there
September 4, 1886.
Major-General Patrick Romayne Cleburne
was born in County Cork, Ireland, March 17, 1828.
He ran away from Trinity College, Dublin, and
enlisted in the Forty-first Foot. In 1855 he
came to America, settling in Helena, Arkansas,
where he practised law until the opening of
the war. He entered the Confederate service as
private, and rose to the rank of major-general, in
1862. He planned the capture of the United
States arsenal in Arkansas, iVIarch, 1861. He
was colonel of an Arkansas regiment, and at Shi-
loh, as brigadier-general, he commanded a brigade
in the Third Corps, Army of the Mississippi. He
was wounded at Perryville. At Murfreesboro and
Chickamauga he commanded a division, and his
troops formed the rear guard at Missionary Ridge.
For his defense of Ringgold Gap, in the Atlanta
campaign, he received the thanks of the Confeder-
ate Congress. Cleburne covered Hood's retreat at
Jonesboro, and had temporary command of Har-
dee's Corps. He continued to hold his division in
Cheatham's Corps, and at the battle of Franklin
was killed, November 30, 1864. A brilliant charge
at Chickamauga earned him the title of " Stone-
wall of the West," and it was he who initiated
the Order of the Southern Cross and was among
the first to urge the advantages to the Confeder-
ates of colored troops.

Major-Genekal Braxton Bragg was given
command of the Second Corps of tlie Army of the
Mississippi on its organization, March 29, 1862.
There were ten divisions, composed chiefly of Ala-
bama, Mississippi, and Louisiana troops. In July,
Major-General Samuel Jones had command, and
on August 15th, when General Bragg resumed
command of the whole army, his former corps
passed to the control of Major-General Hardee.
There was an aggregate present of about sixteen
thousand men. On November 7th, the Left Wing,
in an organization that had a short existence
after August 15th, again became the Second (or
Hardee's) Corps. In July, 1863, Lieutenant-Gen-
eral Hardee was relieved by Lieutenant-General D.
H. Hill, who commanded at Chickamauga, and tlie
later commanders were INIajor-Generals J. C.
Breckinridge, T. C. Hindman, Lieutenant-Gener-
al J. B. Hood, Major-General C. L. Stevenson and
Lieutenant-General S. D. Lee. After 1864, the
corps was known as Hood's, or Lee's Corps, Har-
dee having assumed command of the other corps.
Lieutenant-General William Joseph Har-
dee (U.S. M. A. 1838) was born in Savannah, Geor-
gia, October 10, 1815, and seized in the Seminole
and Mexican wars. He resigned his commission
of lieutenant-colonel in January, 1861, to join the
Confederate forces, in which he was appointed a
brigadier-general in J une. He was given command
of Fort ]\Iorgan, IVIobile Bay, in March, and later,
as major-general, was transferred to the Central
Army of Kentucky, of which he had command from
December, 1861, to February, 1862. He was
given the Second Corps in the Army of the Mis-
sissippi and led the advance at Shiloh. He took
part with this army as corps or wing commander in
Bragg's invasion of Kentucky, at Stone's River,
and at Chattanooga, having been made lieutenant-
general in October, 1862. In the summer of 1863
he had charge of the defenses of Mississippi and
Alabama. He had temporary command of the
Army of Tennessee after Bragg was removed in
December, 1863. He had a corps during the At-
lanta campaign, and in October, 1864, he was
placed in command of the Department of South
Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. He was unable to
prevent the capture of Savannah, and, in February,
1865, joined Johnston, serving in the Army of
Tennessee, at the head of a corps formed from the
troops in his department, until its surrender. Af-
ter the war, he lived at Selma, Alabama, and died
at Wytheville, Virginia, November 6, 1873.

Lieutenant-General Daniel Harvey Hill
(U.S.M.A. 1842) was born at Hill's Iron Works,
York District, South Carolina, July 12, 1821.
He resigned from the army after the INIexican
War, in which he had received the brevet of
major, and was engaged in teaching until he en-
tered the Confederate army, in 1861. As colonel
of the First North Carolina Infantry, he showed
marked talent at Big Bethel, June 10th, and was
made brigadier-general the following month. As

William W. Silkworth, of Long Branch, New Jersey, a veteran who had an opportunity to inspect some of the pictures reproduced
in the Photographic History, recognized this group as Company B, 170th Regiment, New York Volunteers. "You cannot appreciate
or understand fully my amazement and joy in the discovery," lie wrote to the editors. "There right in the front of tlie picture sits my
brother playing cards (You will note that he is left handed. We laid him away in front of Petersburg). With him is John Vandewater,
Geo. Thomas and Wash. Keating. There is Charlie Thomas and all the rest as true as life. With the exception of two, I have not seen
any of the boys for thirty years." It was at such moments as this, when the Federal soldiers jjlayed games and chatted and became

acquainted, that the organization was being evolved which has grown into a leading national institution since its formation at Decatin-,
Illinois, on April 6, 1866. Between the men who had fought and marched and suffered together, who time out of mind had shared
their last crust and saved each others' lives, who had nursed each other and cheered each other on when another step forward seemed to
mean certain death, there arose a great love that extended to the widows and orphans of those whose dying words they had heard on the
field of battle. Ever since that time the organization has lent assistance to those reduced to need by the inexorable war. It admits to
membership any soldier or sailor (if the United States .\rniy. Navy or Marine Corps, w'ho served between .\pril 12. 1861. and .\pril 9, 1865.
By John E. Oilman, Commander-in-Chief, Grand Army of the Republic
AT the close of tlie Civil War, there were over
a million men in the Union armies. Nearly
two and a half million had served under the Stars
and Stripes during the four long years of war-
fare, of whom three hundred and fifty-nine thou-
sand had died. It was essential that those still in
the service should disband and retire to civilian
life. This was effected after a grand parade of
the armies of the Potomac, the Tennessee, and of
Georgia, on May 23 and 24, 1865, when one hun-
dred and fifty thousand men marched through the
wide avenues of Washington in review before the
President and the commanding generals. From
the glare and glory, the power and prestige of
the soldier's career, they went into the obscurity of
the peaceful pursuits of American citizenship, and
in a few short months the vast armies of the United
States had disappeared.
The great war was ended, but it would have
been strange indeed if the memories of those years
of storm and stress, the sacrifices of those who
had fallen, the experiences of the march, the battle-
field, and the camp, and the needs of their disabled
comrades, and of the widows and the orphans had
been forgotten.
Even before the war had ended, organizations
of veterans of the Union armies had begun to be
formed. The first veteran society formed. The
Third Army Corps Union, was organized at the
headquarters of General D. B. Binicy, commander
of the Third Army Corps, at a meeting of the
officers of the corps, September 2, 1863. The
main object, at that time, was to secure funds for
embalming and sending home for burial the bodies
of officers killed in battle or dying in hospitals at
the front. General D. A. Sickles was its first
president.
In April, 1865, the Society of the Army of the
Tennessee was formed at Raleigh, North Carolina,
membership being restricted to officers who had
served with the old Army of the Tennessee. The
object was declared to be " to keep alive that
kindly and cordial feeling which has been one of
the characteristics of this army during its career
in the service." General Sherman was elected
president in 1869, and continued to hold the office
for many years.
After the war, many other veteran societies
were formed, composed not only of officers but of
enlisted men of the various armies, corps, and regi-
ments, as well as many naval organizations.
Among them, the Military Order of the Loyal Le-
gion of the United States was the first society
formed by officers honorably discharged from the
service. It was first thought of at a meeting of a
group of officers who had met the day after the
assassination of President Lincoln for the purpose
of passing resolutions on his death. These reso-
lutions were subsequently adopted, and it was de-
termined to effect a permanent organization. This
was done May 3, 1865, and a constitution and
by-laws were, in part, adopted the same month.
The titles of officers, the constitution, and general
plan, were, in part, afterward adopted by the
Grand Army of the Republic. The essential dif-
ference was that first-class membership of the
Loyal Legion was restricted to officers.
Besides the foregoing organizations of veterans,
there were others formed of a political nature,
such as the Boys in Blue and other similar socie-
ties, and there were held in September, 1866, two
political conventions of veterans of the army and
navy. These political soldiers' clubs were the re-
sult of the times, for the controversy between Con-
gress and President Johnson was at its height. In
the East, after the fall elections of 1866, most of
these political clubs of veterans were ready to dis-
band. The desire for a permanent organization
of veterans became strong. No post of the Grand
Army had been organized east of Ohio prior to
October, 1866. Posts were started, and inasmuch
as eligibility to membership in the Grand Army
was possessed by those who composed the member-
ship of these political clubs, the Boys in Blue and
similar clubs formed, in many places, the nucleus
of the Grand Army posts.
This fact gave, in good part, a political tinge
to the Grand Army during the first year or two
of its existence, and to it was due, chiefly, the
severe losses in membership that the order sus-
tained for a short period. But, eventually, the po-
litical character was wholly eradicated, and the
order recovered its standing and its losses.

formation of an organization of veteran soldiers.
He had, previously, while the war was still con-
tinuing, talked over the formation of such an or-
ganization witli his tent-mate, Chaplain William J.
Kutledge of the same regiment, and both had
agreed to undertake the work of starting such a
project after tlie war was ended, if they survived.
At the national encampment in St. Louis, in
1887, it was stated by Fred. J. Dean, of Fort Scott,
Arkansas, that in February, 1866, he, with Doctors
Hamilton and George H. Allen, assisted Doctor
Stephenson in compiling ritualistic work, constitu-
tion, and by-laws at Springfield, Illinois, and these
four assumed the obligations of tlie Grand Army
of the Republic at tliat time. It is conceded th;it
the initiatory stej)s to constitute the order were
taken in Illinois, and Doctor Stephenson's name
is the first one connected witb the systematic or-
ganization of the Grand Army. He and his co-
workers were oi)lig;ite(l in the work. Several other
veterans joined with them, and a ritual was
prepared.
The question of printing this ritual occasioned
some anxiety on account of the desire to keep it
secret, but this difficulty was solved by having it
printed at the office of the Decatur (Illinois)
Tribune, the proprietor of which, together with
his compositors, were veterans. They were ac-
cordingly obligated, and the ritual was printed by
them. Captain John S. Phelps, one of the active
associates of Doctor Stephenson, who bad gone
to Decatur to supervise the work of printing the
ritual, had met several of his conu'ades of the
Forty-first Illinois and had sought their coopera-
tion. One of them. Doctor J. W. Routh, who
was acquainted with Doctor Stephenson, went to
Springfield to consult the latter al)out organiz-
ing, and, with Captain M. F. Kanan, called upon
Doctor Stephenson. They returned to Decatur to
organize a post there, and at once set to work and
secured a sufficient number of signatures to an
application for a charter. They returned to
Springfield to present the application in person.
On April 6, 1866, Doctor Stephenson issued the
charter, signing it as (lepartment commander of
Illinois, thus creating the first post of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The ritual was revised and
a constitution written by a committee from this
post, at the suggestion of Doctor Stephenson. The
connnittec reported that the regulations and ritual
had been presented to department headquarters
and accepted. The plan of organization consisted
of post, district, department, and national organ-
izations, to be known as the Grand Army of the
Republic.
The declaration of principles in the constitution,
written by Adjutant-General Robert M. Woods,
set forth that the soldiers of the volunteer army of
the United States, during the war of 1861-65, act-
uated by patriotism and combined in fellowship,
felt called upon to declare those principles and
rules which should guide the patriotic freeman and
Christian citizen, and to agree upon plans and
laws which should govern them in a united and
systematic working method to effect the preserva-
tion of the grand results of the war. These re-
sults included the preservation of fraternal feel-
ings, the making of tliese ties advantageous to
those in need of assistance, the providing for the
support, care, and education of soldiers' orphans,
and maintenance of their widows, the protection
and assistance of disabled soldiers, and the " estab-
lishment and defense of the late soldiery of the
ITnited States, morally, socially, and politically,
with a view to incidcate a proper appreciation of
their services to the country, and to a recognition
of such services and claims by the American
people."
To this last section, the national enc;unpmcnt in
Philadelphia, in 1868, added, " But this associa-
tion does not design to make nominations for office
or to use its influence as a secret organization for
partisan purposes." The word " sailors " was
added by the Indianapolis encampment. In May,
1869, the present form of rules and regulations '
was ado})ted.
Post No. 2 of the Department of Illinois was J
organized at Springfield, as stated by General '
Webber, in April, 1866.
In 1865, in Indiana, correspondence relating i
to the continuance of the Army Club, a society of |
veterans, had come to the hands of Governor Oli-
ver P. jMorton, of Indiana. He sent General R. S.
Foster, of Indianapolis, to Springfield, to examine
into Doctor Stephenson's plan of organization.
General Foster met the latter, and was obligated
by him. On his return, he obligated a number of
his intimate comrades, and these he constituted as
a department organization. The first post of this
department was organized at Indianapolis, on the
'il9.d of August, 1866.
Doctor Stephenson had issued, as department
connnander, General Orders No. 1, on April 1,
1866, at Springfield, in which he announced the
following officers : General Jules C. Webber, aide-
de-camp and chief of staff; ^lajor Robert M.
Woods, adjutant-general; Colonel John M. Sny-
der, quartermaster-general ; Captain John S.
Phelps, aide-de-camp, and Captain John A. Light- |

partment headquarters. On June 26, 1866, a call
had been issued for a convention, to be held at
Springfield, Illinois, July 12, 1866. The conven-
tion was held on this date and the Department of
Illinois organized. General John M. Palmer being
elected department commander. Doctor Stephen-
son was recognized, however, in the adoption of a
resolution which proclaimed him as " the head and
front of the organization." He continued to act as
conmiander-in-chief.
In October, 1866, departments had been formed
in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, and Minne-
sota, and posts had been organized in Ohio, Mis-
souri, Kentucky, Arkansas, District of Columbia,
Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania. On
October 31, 1866, Doctor Stephenson issued Gen-
eral Orders No. 13, directing a national conven-
tion to be held at Indianapolis, November 20, 1866,
signing this order as commander-in-chief. In ac-
cordance with this order, the First National En-
campment of the Grand Army of the Republic
convened at Indianapolis on the date appointed,
and was called to order by Commander-in-Chief
Stephenson. A committee on permanent organi-
zation was appointed and its report nominating
the officers of the convention was adopted, and
General John M. Palmer became the presiding
officer of the convention. The committee on con-
stitution submitted a revised form of the consti-
tution which, with a few amendments, was adopted.
Resolutions were adopted calling the attention of
Congress to the laws in regard to bounties, recom-
mending the passage of a law making it obligatory
for every citizen to give actual service when called
upon in time of war, instead of providing a substi-
tute, and suggesting, for the consideration of those
in authority, the bestowal of positions of honor and
profit upon worthy and competent soldiers and sail-
ors. General S. A. Hurlbut, of Illinois, was elected
commander-in-chief and Doctor Stephenson, adju-
tant-general.
The national organization of the Grand Army
of the Republic was thus fairly started. The
Second National Encampment was held at Phila-
delphia, January 15, 16, and 17, 1868, when
General John A. Logan was elected connnander-
in-chief. At the Third National Encampment at
Cincinnati, May 12 and 13, 1869, General Logan
was reelected commander-in-chief. It appears
from Adjutant-General Chipman's report at this
encampment that, at the Philadelphia encamp-
ment in 1868, there were represented twenty-one
departments, which claimed a total membership of
over two hundred thousand. But there had been
very few records kept, either in departments or at
[294
national headquarters, and there seems to have
been very little communication between posts and
headquarters. At the Cincinnati encampment, the
adjutant-general reported that the aggregate num-
ber of departments was thirty-seven, and that the
number of posts, reported and estimated, was 2050.
At the encampment at Cincinnati, in 1869, the
grade system of membership was adopted, estab-
lishing three grades of recruit, soldier, and vet-
eran. This system met with serious opposition and
was finally abandoned at the encampment at Bos-
ton, in 1871. It was claimed that to this system
much of the great falling-of¥ in membership was
due. It is a fact that, at this period, thei*e had
been a large decrease in the numbers in the order,
particularly in the West. But the cause of this
may be laid to a variety of reasons. The order,
at first, seems to have had a rapid growth. Be-
cause of the incompleteness of the records, it is im-
possible even to estimate what the strength of the
membership in those early days was. But the real
solidity of the order was not established until some
years had passed.
On May 5, 1868, Commander-in-Chief Logan,
by General Orders No. 11, had assigned May 30,
1868, as a memorial day which was to be devoted
to the strewing of flowers on the graves of deceased
comrades who had died in the defense of their
country during the Civil War. The idea of Me-
morial Day had been suggested to Adjutant-Gen-
eral Chipman in a letter from some comrade then
living in Cincinnati, whose name has been lost. At
the encampment at Washington, in 1870, Memo-
rial Day was established by an amendment to the
rules and regulations. It has been made a holiday
in many of the States, and is now observed through-
out the country, not only by the Grand Army but
by the people generally, for the decoration of the
graves of the soldiers.
The first badge of the order was adopted in
1866. A change was made in October, 1868, in its
design, and a further change in October, 1869. At
the national encampment of 1873, the badge was
adopted which is substantially the one that exists
to-day, a few minor changes being made in 1886.
It is now made from captured cannon purchased
from the Government. The bronze button worn
on the lapel of the coat was adopted in 1884.
The matter of pensions has, in the nature of
things, occupied much of the time of the Grand
Army encampments, both national and depart-
mental. The order has kept careful watch over
pension legislation ; its recommendations have
been conservative, and of late years have been
adopted by Congress to a very great extent. Aid

has been given to veterans and widows entitled to
pensions, by cooperation with the Pension Office in
obtaining and furnishing information for the
adjudication of claims.
The Grand Army has been assisted in carrying
out its purposes by its allied orders, the Woman's
Relief Corps, the Sons of Veterans, the Daughters
of Veterans, and the Ladies of the G. A. R. These
organizations have adopted the principles and pur-
poses that have actuated the Grand Army and have
given much valued aid in the acliievement of the
results obtained.
The Grand Army of the Republic before the end
of the nineteenth century had passed the zenith of
its career. Its membership remained about the same
in numbers after its first great leap and subsequent
subsidence, varying between 25,000 and 50,000
from 1870 to 1880. During the decade between
1880 and 1890 it rose to its highest number of -109,-
489. Since then it has decreased, through death,
in very great part, until, at the national encamp-
ment of 1910, at Atlantic City, it had diminished
to 213,901. Its posts exist througliout the length
and breadth of the country, and even outside, and
nearly every State has a department organization.
Its influence is felt in every city, town, and vil-
lage, and it has earned the good-will and support
of the entire American people. Among its leaders
have been some of the most prominent men of the
country. Its commanders-in-chief have been :

By S. a, Cunningham, Late Sergeant-Major, Confederate States Army,
AND Founder and Editor of "The Confederate Veteran"
THE organization known as the United Con-
federate Veterans was formed in New Or-
leans, June 10, 1889. The inception of the idea
for a large and united association is credited to
Colonel J. F. Shipp, a gallant Confederate, com-
mander of N. B. Forrest Camp, of Chattanooga,
Tennessee — the third organized — who was in suc-
cessful business for years with a Union veteran.
Colonel Shipp had gone to New Orleans in the in-
terest of the Chattanooga and Chickamauga Mili-
tary Park, and there proposed a general organi-
zation of Confederates on the order of the Grand
Army of the Republic, his idea being to bring into
a general association the State organizations, one
of which in Virginia, and another in Tennessee,
had already been organized.
Following these suggestions, a circular was sent
out from New Orleans in regard to the proposed
organization, and the first meeting was held in
that city on June 10, 1889, the organization being

perfected under tlie name of United Confederate
Veterans, with F. S. Washington, of New Orleans,
as president, and J. A. Chalaron, secretary. A
constitution was adopted, and Lieutenant-General
John B. Gordon, of Georgia, was elected gen-
eral and commander-in-chief. At this meeting
there were representatives from the different Con-
federate organizations already in existence in
the States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Ten-
nessee.
While giving Colonel Shipp credit for suggest-
ing the general organization of the United Con-
federate Veterans, the important part played by
the Louisiana camps in furthering the association
must be emphasized. The previously existing or-
ganizations became the first numbers in the larger
association. The Army of Northern A'irginia, of
New Orleans, became Camp No. 1 ; Army of Ten-
nessee, New Orleans, No. 2 ; and LeRoy Stafford
Camp, Shreveport, No. 3. The N. B. Forrest
Camp, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, became No. 4 ;
while Fred. Ault Camp, of Knoxville, is No. 5.
There are other camps, not among the first in the
list, which are among the most prominent in the
organization. For instance, Tennessee had an
organizatioji of bivouacs, the first and largest of
which was Frank Cheatham, No. 1, of Nashville,
but which is Camp No. 35, U. C. V. Then, Rich-
mond, Virginia, had its R. E. Lee Camp, which
has ever been of the most prominent, and was the
leader in a great soldiers' home movement. In the
U. C. V. camp-list, the R. E. Lee, of Richmond, is
No. 181. The camps increased to a maximum of
more than fifteen hundred, but with the passage of
years many have ceased to be active.
While the organization was perfected in New
Orleans, the first reunion of United Confederate
Veterans was held in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
July 3 to .5, 1890. To this reunion invitations
were extended " to veterans of both armies and to
citizens of the Republic," and the dates purposely
included Independence Day.
The first comment both in the North and South
was, " Why keep up the strife or the memory of
it.^ " but it was realized that such utterances were
from those who did not comprehend the scope of
the organization of United Confederate Veterans,
which, from the very outset, was clear in the minds
of its founders. It was created on high lines,
and its first commander was the gallant soldier.
General John B. Gordon, at the time governor of
Georgia, and later was United States senator.
General Gordon was continued as commander-in-
chief until his death.
The nature and object of the organization can-
15
not be explained better than by quoting from its
constitution.
The first article declares :
" The object and purpose of this organization
will be strictly social, literary, historical, and be-
nevolent. It will endeavor to unite in a general
federation all associations of the Confederate vet-
erans, soldiers and sailors, now in existence or
hereafter to be foraied; to gather authentic data
for an impartial history of the War between the
States ; to preserve the relics or memories of the
same; to cherish the ties of friendship that exist
among the men who have shared common dangers,
common suffering and privations ; to care for the
disabled and extend a helping hand to the needy ;
to protect the widow and orphan, and to make and
preserve the record of the services of every mem-
ber and, as far as possible, of those of our com-
rades who have preceded us in eternity."
Likewise, the last article provides that neither
discussion of political or religious subjects nor
any political action shall be permitted in the or-
ganization, and that any association violating that
provision shall forfeit its membership.
The notes thus struck in the constitution of the
United Confederate Veterans were reechoed in the
opening speech of the first commander-in-chief.
General Gordon, addressing the Veterans and the
public, said :
" Comrades, no argument is needed to secure for
those objects your enthusiastic endorsement. They
have burdened your thoughts for many years.
You have cherished them in sorrow, poverty, and
humiliation. In the face of misconstruction, you
have held them in your hearts with the strength of
religious convictions. No mis judgments can de-
feat your peaceful purposes for the future. Your
aspirations have been lifted by the mere force and
urgency of surrounding conditions to a plane far
above the paltry consideration of partisan tri-
umphs. The honor of the American Government,
the just powers of the Federal Government, the
equal rights of States, the integrity of the Consti-
tutional Union, the sanctions of law, and the en-
forcement of order have no class of defenders more
true and devoted than the ex-soldiers of the South
and their worthy descendants. But you realize the
great truth that a people without the memories of
heroic suffering or sacrifice are a people without
a history.
" To cherish such memories and recall such a
past, whether crowned with success or consecrated
in defeat, is to idealize principle and strengthen
character, intensify love of country, and convert
defeat and disaster into pillars of support for

future manhood and noble womanhood. Whether
the Southern people, under their changed condi-
tions, may ever hope to witness another civilization
which shall equal that which began with their
Washington and ended with their I.ce, it is cer-
tainly true that devotion to their glorious past is
not only the surest guarantee of future progress
and the holiest bond of unity, but is also the strong-
est claim they can present to the confidence and
respect of the other sections of the Union."
Referring to the new organization, General Gor-
don said :
" It is political in no sense, except so far as the
word ' political ' is a synonym of the word ' patri-
otic' It is a brotherhood over which the genius
of philanthropy and patriotism, of truth and jus-
tice will preside; of phihmthropy, because it will
succor the disabled, help the needy, strengthen the
weak, and cheer the disconsolate ; of patriotism,
because it will cherish the past glories of the dead
Confederacy and transmute them into living inspi-
rations for future service to the living Republic ;
of truth, because it will seek to gather and pre-
serve, as witnesses for history, the unimpeachable
facts which shall doom falsehood to die that truth
may live; of justice, because it will cultivate na-
tional as well as Southern fraternity, and will
condemn narrow-mindedness and prejudice and
passion, and cultivate that broader and higher and
nobler sentiment which would write on the grave
of every soldier who fell on our side, ' Here lies an
American hero, a martyr to the riglit as his con-
science conceiv^ed it.' "
The reunions, thus happily inaugurated, became
at once popular a!ul have been held every year
except the first appointment at Birmingham, Ala-
bama, which was postponed from 1893 to 189-i.
No event in the South is comparable in widespread
interest to these reunions. Only the large cities
have been able to entertain the visitors, which range
in number between fifty thousand .and one hundred
thousand.
The greatest of all gatherings was at Richmond,
Virginia, June 30, 1907, when the superb monu-
ment to the only President of the Confederacy was
unveiled. There were probably a hundred thou-
sand people at the dedication. An idea of the
magnitude of these reunion conventions and the
interest in them may be had by reference to that
held in Little Rock, Arkansas, in May, 1911, a
city of a little more than thirty thousand iidiab-
itants, wherein over a hundred tliousand visitors
were entertained during the three days.
No finer evidences of genuine patriotism can be
found than in the proceedings of these conven-
tions. In fact, there are no more faithful patriots.
The Gray line of 1911 is not yet so thin as the
press contributions make it. True, the veterans
are growing feeble, but the joy of meeting com-
rades with whom they served in camp and battle
for four years — many of whom had not seen one
another in the interim — is insuppressible. It is
not given to men in this life to become more at-
tached to each other than are the Confederates.
They had no pay-roll to look to, and often but
scant rations, which they divided unstintedly. And
their defeat increased their mutual sympathy.
Yet, on the other hand, there is a just apprecia-
tion of their adversaries. The great body of Con-
federate veterans esteem the men who fought them,
far above the politician. They look confidently to
the better class of ITnion veterans to cooperate
with them in maintaining a truthful history.
IMaybe the time will come when the remnant of the
soldiers. North and South, will confer together for
the good of tlie country.
The Confederates have not pursued the excellent
method of rotation in office in their organization,
as have the Grand Army comrades. General John
B. Gordon sought to retire repeatedly, but his
comrades would not consent. At his death Gen-
eral Stephen D. Lee, next in rank, became com-
mander-in-chief. It was a difficult place to fill,
for there never was a more capable and charming
man in any place than was General Gordon as
commander-in-chief. However, General Lee was
so loyal, so just, and so zealous a Christian that
he grew rapidly in favor, and at his death there
was widespread sorrow. He was succeeded by
Ge7ieral Clement A. Evans, of Georgia, who pos-
sessed the same high qualities of Christian man-
hood, and he would have been continued through
life, as were his predecessors, but a severe illness,
which affected his throat, made a substitute neces-
sary, so he and General W. L. Cabell, commander
of the Trans-Mississippi Department from the be-
ginning— their rank being about equal — were made
honorary commanders-in-chief for life, and Gen-
eral George W. Gordon, a member of Congress
from Tennessee, was chosen as active commander-
in-chief in 1910. Generals Gordon, Cabell, and
Evans died in 1911. Each had a military funeral
in which U. S. Army officials took part.
Within a score of years there had developed a
close and cordial cooperation between the veterans
and sucli representative Southern organizations
as the Confederated Southern ^Memorial Associa-
tion, the Ignited Sons of Confederate Veterans, and
the United Daughters of the Confederacy. All are
devoted to the highest patriotic ideals.

of full rank or by brevet in the United States (Regular) Army and in the United States Volunteers during the
Civil War. The highest rank attained, whether full or by brevet, only is given, in order to avoid dujilications. It
is, of course, understood that in most cases the actual rank next below that conferred by brevet was held either in
the United States Army or the Volunteers. In some cases for distinguished gallantry or marked efficiency brevet
rank higher than the next grade above was given. The date is that of the appointment.

A FULL ROSTER COMPILED FROM THE OFFICL\L RECORDS
The Confederate titles l)elow derive authority through verification by General Marcus J. Wright, for many years in charge of
Confederate records at the United States War Department, Washington. Some ranks appropriate to high commands, and fully justi-
fied, were never legally confirmed. In sucli cases, as those of Jo.seph Wheeler and John B. Gordon, General Wright has followed
the strictest interi)retation of the Confederate records below. As for the body of this History it lias been thought best to employ the
titles most commonly used, and found in the popular reference works. The highest rank attained is given in every ca.se together
with the dale of the commission conferring such rank.

INDEX
liKADEltS WILL BENEFIT BY A GLANCE AT THE FOLLOWING NOTE, WHICH IMPARTS
SrE( lAL MEANING TO THE REFEREN( ES THAT FOLLOW
Much liiuc is usii:illy losL in rcftTriiig' to an Index of a work as extended and replete witli statenient.s of fact as the
PHOTOCJHAIMIK" HISTORY. The novel plan of these volumes, however, renders it po.ssibh- for the reader to identify
the nature of each reference, simply by remembering the distinctive character of the volume in question. For convenience,
the titles of tlie ten volumes will now be repeated:
1. rilK ()I*EM.\(; H.VTTLES IV. THE CAVALRY VIII. SOLDIER LIFE— SECRET
Ai)ril, 18C1— July, 1862 SERVICE
V. FORTS AND ARTILLERY
n. TWO YEARS OF CJRIM WAR
August, 1862— April, 1864 IX. POETRY AND ELOQUENCE
VI. THE NAVIES
III. THE DECISIVE RATTLES
April, 1864— May, 1865 VII. PRISONS AND HOSPITALS X. ARMIES AND LEADERS
Each volume numljer constitutes a characterization in itself. Thus, under the heading "Gettysburg" the reference
to " II., 23t," clearly indicates the campaign narrative, since Volume II. is that one of the three volumes on BATTLES which covers
the i)erit)d between August, 1862, and April, 1864, thus including the days of July, 1863, that witnessed the great battle.
Hut the further reference to Gettysburg, " IV., 238" as clearly indicates a treatment of operations of the Cavalry, since
IV. is the volume on CAVALRY, .\gain, the reference imder this same heading, " V., 40," must indicate the treatment of the
events at Gettysburg in which a part was played by the Artillery, since V. is the ARTILLERY volume.
Thus this History's classification of Civil War matters, volume by volume, has made it possible to present in the Index
that follows a much greater number of items and references for the reader's convenience than has ever been the case pre-
viously in a work of this magnitude.
GENERAL OFFICERS. Any general officer, Union or Confederate, who served in the Civil War, not to be found
in the Index that follows, can be placed as regards his full rank, name, and date of appointment by referring to the ROSTER
immediately preceding.
BOLD FACE ARABIC FIGURES INDICATE ILLUSTRATIONS. The Roman numerals indicate the number of the
volume. The Arabic figures in bold face type indicate pages on which photographs appear (text references arc in ordinary Roman
type). Thus, under Pleasonton, A.. "IV., 2!17," means that there is an illustration.
