Wounded in a fight happened near Greencastle, Pennsylvania, a town directly north of Martinsburg, WVA, 30 miles southeast of Get­tysburg. On 22.6.1863 Confederate cavalry commander Albert G. Jenkins had laid a trap for the Union horsemen near Fleming and Kiesecker's Farm. The Union commander, Captain William H. *Boyd, sensed not all was right and halted his men. But two Uni­on troopers ad­vanced from be­hind the Fleming house, and dismounted Confederate troopers fired on them. One, Sergeant Milton Caffer­ty was wounded, and the other, Corporal William Rihl was instantly killed, when he was struck in the head (Allers: Fog of Gettysburg, p. 27).

Caldwell, John C.:

US-MajGen; 17.4.1833 Lowell / Vermont - † 31.8.1912 Calais/Maine; Caldwell was a teacher, a Union general in the American Ci­vil War, and an American diplomat. He graduated from Amherst College in 1855 and moved to Maine, where he was the princi­pal of the Washington Academy in East Machias. At the beginning of the Civil War, Caldwell was 28 years old and had no military experi­ence. However, his bearing as an academic principal seems to have impressed others because he was elected colonel of the 11th Mai­ne Infantry regiment on November 12, 1861. Early in the Peninsula Campaign (April 28, 1862), he was promoted to briga­dier gene­ral and assumed command of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of II Corps of the Army of the Potomac after the brigade comman­der, Brigadier General Oliver O. Howard, was wounded at the Battle of Seven Pines. At the Battle of Glendale, he displayed "perso­nal gallantry" in coming to the aid of the beleaguered Union division led by Philip Kearny (https://en.wikipedia.­org/­wiki/John_ C._Caldwell).

 

At the Battle of Antietam, on September 17, 1862, he briefly led his division when its commander, MajGen Israel B. Richardson, was wounded. Caldwell himself was wounded in the battle and he received criticism that he handled his brigade poorly in the assault on the sunken road in the center of the Confederate line (the sunken road, or "Bloody Lane"). There were also rumors spread that he had hidden in the rear to avoid direct contact with the enemy. He was wounded again, twice, at the Battle of Fredericksburg that Decem­ber, while preparing his brigade to assault the stone wall on Marye's Heights; one of his regiments broke and ran during the assault, further tarnishing his reputation. At the Battle of Chancellorsville the following May, his brigade performed well under difficult cir­cumstances, covering the retreat of the army from the crossroads at the Chancellor House (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_ C._Caldwell).

 

Caldwell's bloodiest combat experience was at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. Since May 22, he had commanded the 1st Division of the II Corps, now under Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock. He and his division arrived on the battlefield the morning of July 2 and took up a reserve position on Cemetery Ridge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_ C._Caldwell). Nachdem MajGen Sick­les sein III. Corps befehlswidrig von der Cemetery Ridge zur Emmitsburg Road nach Westen vorgezogen hatte, obwohl die Konföder­ierten Kräfte westlich der Round Tops zusammenzogen, entstand eine Lücke zwischen Sickles III. Corps und dem nördlich an der Cemetery Ridge eingesetzten II. Corps Hancock und zudem die Gefahr einer Flankierung über die Round Tops. General Cald­well was ordered [gegen 14:00] to put his 1st Division II. Corps Hancock in motion, and to take position in the woods at the west slo­pe of Round Top, in such manner as to resist the enemy should he attempt to come around Sickles' left flank and gain his rear (Stackpole: They Met at Gettysburg, p. 196 unter wörtlicher Zitierung von Haskell, Frank Aretas: The Battle of Gettys­burg [New York 1910]).

 

That afternoon, as the powerful Confederate assault from the corps of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet struck the Union III Corps, Hancock ordered Caldwell's division to reinforce the III Corps in the Wheatfield. Caldwell got his division moving quickly and conducted the largest Union assault of the three-day battle. However, due to a lack of adequate command on that portion of the battlefield, Cald­well's division was hit in its exposed right flank by the Confederate division of Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, causing great confusion and a general retreat back across the Wheatfield. Caldwell received criti­cism from Maj. Gen. George Sykes, the commander of the Union V Corps, who was operating nearby. General Hancock subsequent­ly lost confidence in Caldwell and his staff conducted an in­vestigation to determine whether Caldwell led his di­vision properly. He was exonerated from any blame, but his reputation in the Army of the Potomac was damaged. A recent writer on Gettysburg has bla­med Sykes for giving sketchy instructions to Caldwell (Hartwig, D. Scott. "'No Troops on the Field Had Done Better', John C. Caldwell's Division in the Wheatfield, July 2, 1863; in: Gal­lagher: The Day at Gettysburg, p. 136 ff). In March 1864, the army was reorganized and reduced from five corps to three. Caldwell was relieved of command during this reduction and saw no further combat service (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ John_ C._Caldwell).

 

After the war, Caldwell served in the honor guard for Abraham Lincoln's funeral train. He received a brevet promotion to major ge­neral on August 19, 1865, and he was mustered out of the volunteer service on January 15, 1866. He returned to civilian life as a la­wyer and a member of the Maine Legislature, but he also served as the adjutant general of the Maine Militia from 1867 to 1869. He then entered the diplomatic service as the U.S. Consul in Valparaíso, Chile, from 1869 to 1874; U.S. Minister to Uruguay and  Para­guay, 1874 to 1882; U.S. Consul to San José, Costa Rica, 1897 to 1909. Caldwell died in Calais, Maine, and is buried at St. Stephen Rural Cemetery in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, Canada (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_ C._Caldwell).

Lt Calef war Batteriechef von Calef's Battery, Battery A, 2nd US Artillery; im Sommer 1863 verstärkte Calef's Battery die 1st Caval­ry Divi­sion John *Buford beim Vorstoß auf Gettysburg am 30.6.1863 (Martin: Gettysburg, p. 39, 72). Am 30.6.1863 einge­setzt auf dem äußersten rechten Flügel von Devin's Cavalry Brigade nahe Carlisle Pike (Longacre: The Cavalry at Gettysburg, p. 183). Calef's Battery wurde am 1.7.1863 im Battle of Gettysburg in der Frontlinie von Gamble's Cavalry Brigade bei Mc­Pherson's Ridge einge­setzt (Martin: Gettysburg, p. 74, 77, 88, 127, 136, 347; Longacre: The Cavalry at Gettysburg, p. 186; Newton: McPherson's Ridge, p. 19; Grimsley/Simpson: Gettysburg Battlefield Guide, p. 13-14).

 

Gen Buford placed the six three-inch guns of Battery A, 2nd U.S. Artillery, commanded bei Lieutenant John H. Calef auf McPher­son's Ridge. Calef had 2 guns north of the Chambersburg Pike, two immediately south of that road, and the final two down the ridge toward Hagerstown Pike (Newton: McPherson's Ridge, p. 19). Auf McPherson's Ridge hatte Calef's Battery ausgezeich­netes Schuß­feld mit Ausnahme der 300 yards südlich des Chambersburg Pike stehenden McPherson's oder Herbst Woods, several do­zen acres of forest beginning just west of McPherson's ridge and extending down the (Willoughby's) Creek (Newton: McPher­son's Ridge, p. 19).

 

Als am Morgen des 1.7.1863 von McPherson's Ridge die US-Battery von Captain John Calef (Battery A, 2nd U.S. Artillery) das Feu­er auf die von Herr Ridge in Richtung auf McPherson's Ridge vorgehende Brigade Archer und die nördlich des Cashtown Pike in Skirmish Line vorfühlende Brigade Davis (beide Brigaden gehörten zur CS-Division Heth) eröffneten, ordnete der Chef des CS-Ar­tillery Battalions William Pegram (4 Batteries) sei­nerseits die Feuereröffnung durch die beiden nearest batteries, Captain Edward Ma­rye's Fredericksburg Artillery und Lieutenant An­drew Johnston's Crenshaw Artillery, an (Newton: McPherson's Ridge, p. 30).

 

Gegen 10:00 kam Wadsworth's Division (First Corps) zum Einsatz und löste Buford's Cavalry ab. Calef's Battery wurde durch Hall's 2nd Maine Battery ersetzt (Stackpole: They Met at Gettysburg, p. 126).

Calhoun, John:

US-Politiker; aus Springfield / Illinois; Bekannter Lincoln's; Bürgermeister von Springfield; Calhoun zog dann nach Kansas, wo er 1857 einer der Führer der Pro-Slavery-Kräfte wurde (Nevins, The Emergence of Lincoln, p. 134-35).

 

 

Calhoun, John C.:

1782-1850; Senator im US-Senat der Vorkriegszeit aus South Carolina. Er begann seine politische Karriere 1811 als Anhänger der Union und beendete sie als glühender Sezessionist. Calhoun war Mitglied des einflußreichen Senat-Triumvirats, das seit Jahrzehnten die politische Geschicke der Union lenkte. Calhoun vertrat in der Krise der Vorkriegszeit einen Partikularismus, der darauf verwies, daß die Union nur überleben könne, wenn der Norden und der Süden innerhalb des Verbunds gleichberechtigte Mitglieder blieben (McPherson, Für die Freiheit sterben, p. 63; Davis, William C.: Brother against Brother. The War Begins, p. 33).

 

Calhoun war Vizepräsident in den Regierungen von John Quincy Adams (1825-29) und Andrew Jackson (4.3.1829-1832). Er entwi­ckelte 1828 die *Nullification Doctrin. Secretary of War in der Regierung ++++ (Foote, The Civil War, vol. I., S. 7)

 

In den Auseinandersetzungen um die den Norden begünstigende Schutzzollpolitik und um die *Nullification Controversy sowie dem *Missouri Compromise entwickelte sich Calhoun vom Unionisten zum Partikularisten und sammelte nach seiner Niederlage in der Frage der Nullification Anhänger um sich, um künftig eine ausgesprochen prosüdliche Politik zu machen (Davis, William C.: Brother against Brother, p. 36-38). Als Particularist folgte Calhoun der Überzeugung, daß die Union nur überleben könne, wenn Norden und Süden innerhalb des Verbandes gleichberechtigte Machtblöcke blieben. Nachfolger Calhoun als Senatssprecher dieser partikularisti­schen Politik wurde Jefferson *Davis (Foote: The Civil War, Bd. 1, S. 13).

Callaway, Jonathan W.:

CS-Lt; Co E 2nd Arkansas Mounted Rifles; he enlisted in the regiment at Arkadelphia (Clark County), in the early summer of 1861 and was officially enrolled into the Confederate service at Camp McRae on July 27 of the same year. Callaway accompanied his regim­ent to camps in southwest Missouri and was present at the battle of Wilson's Creek on August 10, 1861. After the battle Calla­way and his regiment returned to Arkansas and went into winter quarters near Van Buren (Crawford County). The Second Arkansas saw action again at the battle of Pea Ridge (Benton County) and then joined with other Southern forces east of the Mississippi at Co­rinth, Mississippi.

 

Documents/Literature:

- **Callaway, Jonathan W.: Letters and papers, 1861-1864. Callaway began writing letters home to Arkadelphia shortly before the Wil­son's Creek fight, usually addressing them to W. T. Thompson. Most of the letters were written in 1861 and 1862 from places in Misso­uri, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee, including Chattanooga and Cumberland Gap. One letter, dated April 15, 1864, was sent from a location in Texas and describes some fighting in Louisiana during the Camden Expedition. Other documents in the col­lection include samples of the "Hornet's Nest," a handwritten regimental "newspaper" produced in Missouri in 1861. Microfilm copy made by the Arkansas History Commission in 1960 (Univ. of Arkansas, Fayetteville: Manuscript Resources for the Civil War, Com­piled by Kim Allen Scott, 1990).

 

 

Callaway, Josua K.:

CS-2ndLt; Co. K, 28th Regiment Alabama Infantry (National Park Soldiers M374 Roll 7; here mentioned as 'John K.'').

 

Josua K. Callaway was a schoolteacher, husband, and father of two when he enlisted in the 28th Alabama Infantry Regiment at the age of twenty-seven. Serving with the Army of the Tennessee, he campaigned in Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, and north Geor­gia. Along the way this perceptive observer and gifted writer wrote a continuous narrative detailing the activities, concerns, hopes, fears, discomforts, and pleasures of a Confederate soldier in the field.

 

Whether writing about combat, illness, encampments, or homesickness, Callaway makes even the everyday aspects of soldiering in­teresting. This large collection, seventy-four letters in all, is a valuable historical reference that provides new insights into life behind the front lines of the Civil War.

 

From the Kentucky Campaign to Tullahoma, Chickamauga to Missionary Ridge, junior officer Joshua K. Callaway took part in some of the most critical campaigns of the Civil War. His twice-weekly letters home, written between April 1862 and November 1863, chronicle his gradual change from an ardent Confederate soldier to a weary veteran who longs to be at home (aus Hallock, Judith Lee (ed.): The Civil War Letters of Josua K. Callaway, Inhaltsangabe bei www.amazon.de, Abruf v. 5.4.2017).

Cameron, Simon:

US-Secretary of War: Er musste aber Anfang des Jahres 1862 zurücktreten, da die Mehrheit des Kongresses mit seiner Emanzipati­ons-Proklamation zur Befreiung der Sklaven nicht einverstanden war. Schon davor hatte seine Amtsführung durch fehlende Versor­gung der Truppen und Vergabe von Armeeaufträgen an seine Freunde Kritik auf sich gezogen. Durch seine schroff republikanische Gesinnung und seine Begünstigung der immer mehr um sich greifenden Korruption in der Partei, wegen welcher der Kongress einen Tadel gegen ihn aussprach, machte er sich für andere Regierungsämter unmöglich. Thaddeus Stevens soll einmal über ihn bemerkt haben, als Präsident Lincoln ihn fragte, ob er wirklich glaube, dass Cameron stehle: „Ich glaube, er würde keinen glühend heißen Ofen stehlen“. Unmittelbar nach seinem Rücktritt wurde er zum US-Botschafter in Russland ernannt; diesen Posten hatte er bis zum 18. September desselben Jahres inne (wikipedia, keyword 'Simon Cameron, accessed 2.1.2019)..

 

1799 Lancaster/Cty/PA - 1889; Politiker und reicher Geschäftsmann, Republikaner; er kandidierte auf dem Parteikongreß der Repu­blikaner in Chicago (Chicago Convention) im Mai 1860 als Präsidentschaftskandidat (Schurz, Reminiscenses, vol. 2, S. 175). US-Kriegsminister bis Ende 1861. Kaufmann bezeichnet Cameron als „gräßliche[n] Pfuscher“ (Kaufmann: Die Deutschen im Amerika­nischen Bürgerkriege, p. 67).

 

++++Freunde nie vergißt“ (Cameron hatte einen schlechteren Ruf als sein Gegenspieler im Süden Leroy P. Walker; McPherson S. 306). Chase (, S. 61) berichtet, daß Cameron zu einem Gespräch zwischen Chase und Stanton hinzukam, wobei er einen ge­rade er­haltenen Brief Lincoln's vorwies, der ihm mitteilte, Cameron werde am nächsten Tag als Gesandter für Rußland nominiert. "He was quite offended, supposing the letter intended as a dismissal, and, therefore, discourteous." (Zitat nach Chase, p. 61). Lincoln hatte in einem kurzen Brief vom 11.1.1862 mitgeteilt, Cameron werde am 12.1.1862 im US-Senat als Botschafter in Rußland nominiert. In einem längeren "privaten" Brief vom gleichen Tag gab Lincoln ihm "assurance of my undiminished confidence" (Basler, Roy P., ed.: The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln [New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 1953) Vol. V. 96-7).

Unklar ist die Regimentsführung in Shiloh am 6.4.1862. Während Grant (Grant: The Opposing Forces at Shiloh, B & L, I, S. 538) Col Cyrus Hall als Regimentskommandeur angibt, ist bei Daniel (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 182) LtCol William Camm als Regimentsführer erwähnt.

 

Im Battle of Shiloh am 6.4.1862 gehörte die 14th Illinois Infantry zur 2nd Brigade Col James C. Veach 4th Division BrigGen Stephen A. Hurlbutt in Grant’s Army of the Tennessee (Grant: The Opposing Forces at Shiloh, B & L, I, S. 538). Die Brigade Ve­ach geriet am 6.4.1862 nördlich der Purdy-Hamburg Road gegen 11:00 in den Angriff des III. Army Corps MajGen William J. Har­dee 3rd Brigade BrigGen Sterling A. M. Wood. Die Brigade Wood hatte zunächst die US-Brigade Marsh geschlagen und war durch­gebrochen; sie stieß auf die dahinter aufgestellte Brigade Veach (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 182).

Im Battle of New Bern am 13.3.1862 eingesetzt. Brig Gen Branch positioned his troops to defend the line at Fort Thompson. On his left, between the fort and the Beaufort Road, he placed the 27th and 37th North Carolina (Col Charles C. *Lee). Colonel C. C. *Lee commanded the left wing. His right wing, led by Col. Reuben Campbell, consisted of the 7th North Carolina Infantry (Col. Reuben *Campbell) and 35th North Carolina, Latham’s and Brem’s batteries (minus one section), an independent company of infantry, and the militia battalion under Col. H. J. B. Clark. The right wing covered the area between Beaufort Road and the brick kiln on the rail­road. Extending Campbell’s wing to the right of the railroad were the 26th North Carolina, the 2nd North Carolina Cavalry, a section of Brem’s artillery, and “one or two detached companies.” The 33rd North Carolina served as Branch’s only reserve for his thinly spread front line (McGee, David H.: 26th North Carolina Regimental History, http://www.26nc.org/History/26th-Regimen­tal-History/26th, S.24).

Sohn von Wil­liam Capers (1790-1855) und Susan McGill (1797-1860; Tochter von William McGill, Kershaw County/SC) (http://www.resear­chonline.net/ sccw/bios/biosc2.htm, Abruf vom 7.6.2015; http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page= gr&GRid=8961, Ab­ruf vom 7.6.2015).

 

William Capers, the grandfather of Ellison, was a soldier of the revolution, a lieutenant in the Second South Carolina regiment, and after the fall of Charleston in 1780, one of Marion's captains in his famous partisan brigade, in which his only brother, G. Sinclair Ca­pers, held the same rank. Several thrilling incidents in the career of these two gallant partisan captains are related by Judge James, of South Carolina, in his life of Marion. They were both planters http://www.researchonline.net/sccw/ bios/biosc2.htm, Abruf vom 7.6.2015).

Capers was the son of a Methodist bishop. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and educated in local schools. He graduated from South Carolina Military Academy, later known as The Citadel, in 1857, and then worked as a teacher at the academy. At the out­break of the Civil War, Capers joined the Confederate Army with the rank of major (aus: Wikipedia, Stichwort Ellison Capers, Ab­ruf vom 7.6.2015). Major Capers und sein Vorgesetzter, Col James Johnston Pettigrew (beide 1st Regiment of Rifles, South Carolina Militia) verhandelten bei Ausbruch der Fort Sumter Krise im Auftrag von South Carolina Governor, Francis W. Pickens, mit Major Robert *Anderson, dem Kommandanten von Fort Sumter (Wilson: Pettigrew and his Men, p. 33).

 

Capers served on coastal defense duties until 1863, having been promoted to lieutenant colonel of the 24th South Carolina Infantry. In May 1863 the regiment joined the army of General Joseph E. Johnston for the Vicksburg Campaign. Capers was wounded but pro­moted to colonel. Capers returned to field ser­vice in time for the Chickamauga Campaign with the Army of Tennessee. He fought in the disastrous Battle of Franklin. After the campaign he commanded a brigade, replacing States Rights Gist, who had been killed in action. Capers was promoted to brigadier general on March 1, 1865, shortly before the end of hostilities. He was captured at Bentonville, North Carolina, but there is no record of parole. Capers returned home after the Civil War. In December 1865, he was elected Secretary of State for South Carolina. He was rector of Christ Church (Episcopal) in Greenville. He served as the Episcopal Bishop of South Carolina from 1894 to his death. He also served as chancellor of Sewanee: The University of the South from 1904 to 1908. He died in Columbia, South Carolina, and is buried there at Trinity Episcopal Churchyard (aus: Wikipedia, Stichwort Ellison Capers, Abruf vom 7.6.2015).

Carleton, James Henry:

27.12.1814 Lubec/Maine - † 7.1.1873 San Antonio/Texas

 

Carleton was an officer in the U. S. Army and a general in the Union army during the American Civil War. Carleton is best known as an Indian fighter in the southwestern United States.  He was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the US Army in 1839, during the Aroostook War, and took part in the Mexican-American War. He served in the 1st U.S. Dragoons in the American West, participa­ting as a Lieutenant in an 1844 expedition to the Pawnee and the Oto.

 

US-MajGen (breveted) und LtCol US-Army; Col 1st California Infantry Regiment  August 19, 1861 - June 1, 1862.

 

In 1861 Carleton raised and was appointed colonel of the 1st California Volunteer Infantry Regiment. In October 1861, Colonel Car­leton replaced Brigadier General George Wright as commander of the District of Southern California. In 1862 he led the so-cal­led California Column across California, Arizona, New Mexico, and into Texas. Along the way the Californians fought the Battle of Picacho Pass and, afterward, the Battle of Apache Pass. Carleton was promoted to Brigadier General of volunteers on April 28, du­ring the march from California to Arizona. He also established Fort Bowie near Apache Pass. Carleton finally linked up with Union forces under General Edward R. S. Canby in New Mexico. After the Confederate threat to New Mexico seemed to have been elimi­nated, Canby and many of the Union forces were sent to the east; so, in late August, Carleton was placed in command of the Depart­ment of New Mexico. Because of uncertainty as to whether the Confederates would try to re-invade New Mexico, Carleton took measures such as maintaining spies along the New Mexico-Texas border and retaining the services of volunteer units from Colorado which had played a prominent role in expelling the Confederates from New Mexico in the winter and spring of 1862 (http://en.wiki­pedia.org/wiki/James_Henry_Carleton).

During his tenure as department commander, Carleton was concerned mainly with Indian threats. His primary field commander was Colonel Christopher "Kit" Carson. Carleton campaigned relentlessly against the Indians, and although he was strong on discipline, he was popular with his men. Against the Navajo he elected scorched earth tactics. Carleton's campaigning brought the depredations of the Navajo to an end at Canyon de Chelly, and was followed by the "Long Walk". Carleton next sent Carson on an expedition to rid the southwest of Indian raids which resulted in the Battle of Adobe Walls. One notorious quote by Carleton on the subject of Indians: "All Indian men of that tribe are to be killed whenever and wherever you can find them…. If the Indians send in a flag of truce say to the bearer ... that you have been sent to punish them for their treachery and their crimes. That you have no power to make peace, that you are there to kill them wherever you can find them." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Henry_Carleton).

Carleton was appointed brevet major general in the regular army in 1865, the same year that the Civil War ended. He retained com­mand of his volunteer troops until 1866 when U.S. Regulars took over in the West. Carleton served as a lieutenant colonel of the 4th U.S. Cavalry after the war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Henry_Carleton).

Williams, XX Corps MajGen Joseph P. Hooker (B & L, vol. IV, S. 286), MajGen George H. Thomas’ Army of the Cumberland. Teilnahme am Battle of Resaca am 14./15.5.1864. Die Division Williams wur­de hierbei an den äußersten linken Flügel der US-Front verlegt zur Unterstützung des dort eingesetzten IV. Corps, welches praktisch in der Luft hing. Gegen diesen Flügel erfolgte der CS-Angriff von Gen Hood mit den Divisionen Stewart und Stevenson mit dem Ziel Sherman‘s Army zu flankieren und sie von ihren rückwärtigen Verbindungen nach Snake Creek Gap abzuschneiden. Der Angriff wurde erst im letzten Moment, nachdem die US-Front bereits zerbrochen war, durch Captain Simonson‘s Artillery im direkten Be­schuß zusammen geschossen (Castel: Decision in the West, p. 163 ff).

 

Carman war nach dem Krieg Mitglied des Antietam Battlefield Board und Mitherausgeber des 'Atlas of the Battlefield of Antietam'. Er sammelte nach dem Krieg umfangreiches Material über die Schlacht von Antietam, für ein Manuscript, das unveröffentlicht blieb, und unausgewertet in der Library of Congress schlummerte. Erst Stephen W. *Sears stieß aufgrund eines Hinweises von Bruce *Cat­ton auf dieses Material, das er bei seinem Werk über die Schlacht von Antietam benutzte (Sears, Landscape Turned Red, p. 373).

Carruth, Sumner:

US-BrigGen bvt.; Col; Col 35th Massachusetts Infantry während Grant's Vicksburg Campaign 1863 (Bearss: Vicksburg vol. III, S. 1145).

 

Sumner Carruth was an officer in the volunteer army of the United States during the American Civil War. He commanded the 35th Massachusetts Infantry and eventually rose to the command of two different brigades in the IX Corps (https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Sumner_Carruth).

 

Carruth was born on December 22, 1834 in North Brookfield, Massachusetts. He worked as a machinist. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was a militia officer. His company, the Chelsea Light Infantry, was mustered into the federal service as Company H of the 1st Massachusetts Infantry in 1861. 1st Lt. Carruth was credited with the leading role in persuading the company to volunteer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumner_Carruth).

 

On May 22, 1861, Carruth, became captain of Company H by election. He first saw combat at First Bull Run in the brigade of Col. Israel B. Richardson. Carruth next served in the Army of the Potomac during the Peninsula Campaign. The regiment was in the III Corps in the division of Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker. Carruth was present at the Battle of Yorktown (1862), where his company distinguished itself. The company also fought at the Battle of Williamsburg. Carruth was wounded in the arm at the Battle of Seven Pines, apparently missing the subsequent battles of the Peninsula Campaign (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumner_Carruth).

 

Carruth returned to the field as a major in the newly organized 35th Massachusetts Infantry, commissioned at that rank on August 21, 1862. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel on August 27 of that year. The regiment served in IX Corps in the division of Brig. Gen. Samuel D. Sturgis. Carruth was present at the Battle of South Mountain, where the commander, Col. Edward A. Wild was wounded. Carruth succeeded to command, but he was wounded at the Battle of Antietam near Burnside’s Bridge.[2] Car­ruth was captured at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia on November 11, 1862, missing the Battle of Fredericksburg. After being exchanged, Carruth next served in IX Corps in the Department of the Ohio. He became colonel of his regiment on May 1, 1863 and served with the corps in the Siege of Vicksburg, as well as in Eastern Tennessee. Carruth led the 2nd brigade, 2nd division, IX Corps from February 2 to March 3, 1864, before the Corps was transferred back to Virginia. In Virginia, he led the same brigade in April 1864. Then he led 1st brigade, 1st division, IX Corps from April 25 to May 6, 1864. On the second day of the Battle of the Wilder­ness, May 6, Carruth's brigade was involved in the fighting on the Orange Plank Road. Fighting in the Wilderness alongside the troops of Brig. Gen. Alexander Webb and Brig. Gen. James Wadsworth, Carruth was felled by sunstroke and carried from the field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumner_Carruth).

 

Col. Carruth returned to IX Corps in the Army of the Potomac late in 1864 during the Siege of Petersburg, command his regiment. He led a brigade in the second division from January 23 to February 11, 1865, in the absence of Brig. Gen. John I. Curtin. He did so again from May 4 to June 9 of that year, serving in the Department of Washington after the Confederate surrender. Carruth was mus­tered out of the volunteer service on June 9, 1865. On January 13, 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated Carruth for the award of the honorary grade of brevet brigadier general, U.S. Volunteers, to rank from April 9, 1865, and the U.S. Senate confirmed the award on March 12, 1866. His brevet was awarded for gallant and meritorious services in the attack on Fort Mahone on April 2, 1865 during Battle of Petersburg III. Maj. Gen. John G. Parke, commander of IX Corps, recommended him; and two other officers com­mended his regiment for its role in that action (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumner_Carruth).

 

Sumner Carruth married Clara Smith of Newark, New Jersey on August 18, 1862, just before leaving the 1st Massachusetts and joi­ning the 35th regiment. The Sumner’s had two daughters, Minnie Hale, born in 1863, and Clara Louise, born in 1869. Carruth farmed and served as a customs official. Sumner died in 1892 in Andover, Massachusetts and was buried in the West Parish Cemetery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumner_Carruth).

Carter, Robert Goldthwaite:

US-Pvt; Co. H, 22th Regiment Massachusetts Infantry (National Park Soldiers M544 Roll 6).

 

Carter was a private in the 22nd Massachusetts Infantry; his brother Eugene served as a 1st Lt and Quartermaster in the same unit; his other brothers served in the 22nd Mass Infantry and 1st Mass Heavy Artillery. Their letters tell an unbroken tale of the batt­les of the Eastern Theater.

 

In July 1865, he began attending West Point and was eventually commissioned a second lieutenant and assigned to the 4th U.S. Cavalry on June 15, 1870. During the next several years, Carter would participate in a number of expeditions against the Comanche and other tribes in the Texas-area. It was during one of these campaigns that he was brevetted first lieutenant and awarded the Medal of Honor for his "most distinguished gallantry" against the Comanche in Blanco Canyon on a tributary of the Brazos River on October 10, 1871. Carter would suffer a severe injury during the battle, his left leg being shattered as his horse fell against a rock, which would eventually result in his early retirement. He would officially receive the medal on January 23, 1900. Returning to active duty, he joined Colonel Ranald Mackenzie in several campaigns including against the Kickapoo of northern Mexico in May 1873 and awarded a brevet to captain. He did win promotion to first lieutenant on February 21, 1875 although his leg injury disqualified him from active field duty and forced him to retire on June 28, 1876. Although he eventually recovered from his leg injury after proper treatment, his requests to return to active service were denied by the US Army; instead he was promoted to captain on the retired list in 1904. He taught school and later headed the Washington-bureau of the Public Service Publishing Company in New York City. He would also write a number of booklets and books including Four Brothers in Blue (1913) and The Old Sergeant's Story (1926). However, the most successful was his memoir On the Border With Mackenzie (1935) which was published as the age of 90. He died at Washington, D.C. on January 4, 1936 and buried in Arlington National Cemetery (wikipedia, Stichwort 'Robert Goldthwaite Carter', Abruf v. 13.4.2018).

Carter, Thomas H.:

CS-Col; zunächst Captain in W.P. Carter's Battery, Virginia Light Artillery (National Park Soldiers M382 Roll 10).

 

Im Battle of Get­tysburg war LtCol Thomas H. Carter der Kommandeur von Carter's Artillery Battalion, Rodes' Division, Ewell's Corps (Tru­deau: Get­tysburg, p. 588; Nolan: „R. E. Lee and July I at Gettysburg“, p. 22; Pula: Under the Crescent Moon, vol. 2, p. 21). Deployed at Oak Hill and opened a enfilading fire all along the the US line to the Fairfield Road (Coddington: Gettysburg. Study in Command, p. 286).

 

Carter was born in King William County, Virginia, the third of five children and the second son of Thomas Nelson Carter and Juliet Gaines Carter. His father was a first cousin to Robert E. Lee. Carter was a member of the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) Class of 1849. He earned medical degrees from the University of Virginia (1851) and the University of Pennsylvania (1852). Carter never practiced medicine. Instead, he returned to manage his father's plantation, Pampatike, after the overseer died (https://en. wikipe­dia.org/wiki/Thomas_Henry_Carter).

 

He entered what became the Army of Northern Virginia in June 1861 as captain of the King William Artillery. His younger brother, Julian Carter of the 4th Virginia Cavalry, was killed in late July 1862 at a minor skirmish near Malvern Hill. Tom Carter was woun­ded in the foot at Sharpsburg. In December he was promoted to major, a rank he held until he became a lieutenant colonel in April 1863. By the Gettysburg Campaign of 1863, Carter commanded a battalion of artillery in Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell's Second Corps. His guns unlimbered on Oak Hill northwest of Gettysburg and contributed to the eventual withdrawal of the Union First Corps of the Army of the Potomac. Carter's guns later supported Pickett's Charge on July 3. Promoted to colonel in March 1864, he remained with the Army of Northern Virginia during the Overland Campaign until September when he left to temporarily replace Brig. Gen. Armistead L. Long as chief of artillery for Lt. Gen. Jubal A. Early during the second half of Early's Valley Campaigns of 1864. Carter fought in several important battles, including the Battle of Cedar Creek (https://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Henry_ Car­ter). On 1.7.1863 deployed on Oak Hill, north of die Cashtown Pike (Martin: Gettysburg July 1, p. 207) and gave flanking fire on Doubleday's US-Front I. Corps on McPherson's Ridge (Martin: Gettysburg July 1, p. 343 with map p, 348).

 

Following the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Court House, Carter returned to his ancestral family planta­tion, Pampatike, which was located near the Pamunkey River in eastern Virginia, where he lived with his wife Susan (Roy) Carter and their three small children. Carter continued to farm the property, and his wife operated a school at the house. In the late 1870s Carter was appointed the first railroad commissioner in the state of Virginia. He held the position for a handful of years. In the late 1880s, he served for several years as a member of the board of arbitration of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association. Carter spent his final years as proctor and superintendent of grounds and buildings for the University of Virginia (https://en. Wikipedia. org/wiki/Thomas_Henry_Carter).

A 9th Kentucky Cavalry; John Hunt Morgan's Cavalry. Castleman war befreundet mit Thomas B. *Hin­es. Castleman verließ Morgan's Cavalry und folgte Hines, der inzwischen als Geheimagent in Canada für die CSA tätig war (Starr: Col Grenfell's Wars, p. 95; Horan: Confederate Agent, p. 8).

 

Castleman beurteilt Morgan kritisch: Morgan mangelte es entscheidend an Selbstdisziplin. Er war unfähig seine Soldaten zu diszipli­nieren. Morgan's Truppe war deshalb berüchtigt und sein Name wurde zum Synonym für Pferdediebstahl und offenem Banditentum (Starr: Col Grenfell's Wars, p. 46-47). Er war eher ein romantischer Held als Held der Fakten (Starr, p. 47 Anm. 24; Brief von John B.

Anm.: Ac­tually this report, although dated just after the battle, was written by Chamberlain in 1884, after the editors of the OR informed him that his original report was missing from the War Records files, and asked him to supply a replacement. Chamberlain did so by trying to reconstruct his original report from memory (LaFantasie: Josua Chamberlain and the American Dream; in: Boritt: The Gettysburg Nobody Knows, p. 227n12; Chamberlain to George B. Herenden, July 6, 1863 [ca. Mar. 15, 1884], Records of the War Records Office, Entry 729, „Union Battle Reports,“ RG 94, National Archives, Washington, DC). Another battle report by Chamberlain does exist, also dated July 6, 1863, and this one seems to be a copy of the original lost report (LaFantasie: Josua Chamberlain and the American Dream; in: Boritt: The Gettysburg Nobody Knows, p. 227n12; Chamberlain to George B.

Chamberlin, George E.:

US-LtCol; 1862 zunächst Captain Co. C, 11th Vermont Infantry Regiment (=1st Regiment Vermont Heavy Artillery); promoted Ma­jor 28.8.1862 (Ledoux: „Quite ready to be sent somewhere“. The Civil War Letters of Aldace Freeman Walker, p. 19 Let­ter from 28.8.1862). 30.6.1838 Lyndon/Vermont, 21.8.1864 mortally wounded im Skirmish am Opequon Creek bei Charles Town /VA, † 22.8.1864 Hospital Sandy Hook /Md.

 

Born in Lyndon/Vermont. Son of Hon. Ephraim Chamberlin. His father, with his family, moved to St. Johnsbury eight or ten years before the war commenced. At the time of entering the service George E. was twenty-four years of age. Enlisted July 26, 1862. Mus­tered into United States service September 1, 1862. Commissioned Captain of Co. A, 11th Regiment, August 12, 1862, and Major August 26, 1862, and Lieutenant Colonel June 28, 1864. Died in Hospital at Sandy Hook, Va., August 22, 1864, from a wound recei­ved the day before while leading a heavy skirmish line near Charles Town, Virginia. At the time Colonel Chamberlin was wounded he was on horseback advancing toward the enemy. He was hit in the abdomen by a musket ball, and fell from his horse, expressing the conviction he felt that the wound was mortal. His body was brought home in the course of a few days, and funeral services took place on the Sabbath at the North Church. A sermon, in the absence of the pastor of the church, was preached by Rev. E. B. Webb of Boston. The attendance of sympathizing friends was large. His body, after service, was interred in the St. Johnsbury Cemetery, in lot No. 263. A year thereafter, a monument appropriately emblematizing the cause for which a precious life had been given, was erected upon the lot at the head of the grave. Colonel Chamberlin was present with his Regiment every day after it evacuated the defences of Washington, until his death, and actively participated in all its conflicts with the enemy. In action, he was cool, steadfast and brave. If, in discipline, he was apparently severe, it was because he was ambitious that his Regiment should excel, and render to the country the best possible service. It did so, while he was with it, and to the close of the war (http://vermontcivilwar.org/units/11/ obits.­php?in­put=1085).

 

Col. Chamberlin fitted for College at the St. Johnsbury Academy, and entering Dartmouth College, he graduated with distinction in 1860. Proposing to enter the profession of the law, he spent some time at the law school in Harvard University, leaving this school in the summer of 1862. In the early part of the war he was in St. Louis, Mo., and witnessed the efforts of the rebels there to capture the city, and turn over the State to the side of the rebellion. He there came to the conclusion that his service, and life, if it need by, belon­ged to his country. He returned to St. Johnsbury, and earnestly entered upon the work of recruiting a Company for service in the Army. The Company was filled in about ten days. Having received the election of Captain he proceeded with it to Brattleboro where it was mustered into the United States service as Company A, 11th Regiment. In September, 1862, the Regiment reached Washington, and was assigned to duty in the defences of the Capital, occupying, at first, Fort Lincoln, and subsequently, Fort Totten, where Major Chamberlin was in command (http://vermontcivilwar.org/units/11/ obits.php?input=1085).

 

On the 12th of May, 1864, the Regiment was ordered to join the army of the Potomac, which, with fearful losses, had just passed through the Wilderness. The 11th arrived the 15th, in season to share in the later obstinate conflicts which took place at Spotsylvania. On the 18th the 11th led a charge of the Vermont Brigade, and though it was the first action in which it engaged the enemy, it perfor­med the duty with the coolness and valor of Veterans. At this time the regiment was sixteen hundred strong -- with more men on duty than could be counted in the thinned ranks of the old Brigade. It was here attached to, and became part of the Vermont Brigade (http://vermontcivilwar.org/units/11/ obits.php?input=1085).

Chambers, Alexander:

US-++General; 1862 war Chambers Col 16th Iowa Infantry. Im Battle of Shiloh am 6.4.1862 gehörte das Regiment unter Col Alex­ander Chambers zur 6th Division BrigGen Benjamin M. *Prentiss und war not brigaded (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 320; nicht aufgeführt bei Grant: Opposing Forces , S. 538). Das Regiment traf am Abend des 4.4.1862 in Pittsburg Landing ein (Da­niel: Shiloh, p. 106) und wartete seitdem in Pittsburg Landing auf seinen Einsatz gewartet. Grant setzte unmittelbar bei sei­nem Eintreffen in Pittsburg Landing am 6.4.1862 gegen 9:00 das Regiment auf den Höhen bei Pittsburg Landing neben der 15th Iowa Infantry ein, um das Durchbrechen von Stragglers nach der Landing zu unterbinden (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 175). Das neu auf­gestellte und völlig unerfahrene Regiment wur­de gegen 11:00 neben der 15th Iowa Infantry bei Jones Field gegen den CS-Durch­bruch an rechten US-Flügel zur Unterstützung von McClernand’s Division eingesetzt (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 186 mit Karte S. 187). Zusammen mit der 15th Iowa Infantry übernahm das Regiment gegen die angreifende 1st Brigade Col Robert M. Russel I. 1st Division BrigGen Charles Clark Army Corps MajGen Leonidas Polk; beide Regimenter mußten sich schließlich unter schweren Ver­lusten auf die Nordseite von Jones Field zurückziehen (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 186). Chambers wurde im Battle of Shiloh ver­wundet (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 186).

Im Sommer 1863 Regimentskommandeur 12th Illi­nois Cavalry 1st Caval­ry Brigade Col William *Gamble 1st Cavalry Division BrigGen John Buford Army of the Potomac (Mar­tin: Gettysburg, p. 39; Pfanz: Gettysburg, p. 454).

 

Chapman befehligte am 1.7.1863 Teile der Verteidigungslinie der Cavalry Brigade Gamble bei McPherson's Ridge bestehend aus 12th Illinois Cavalry und 3rd Indiana Cavalry (Martin: Gettysburg, p. 74) bzw. Colonel George Chapman led the two of the 12th Illi­nois Cavalry and 3rd Indiana Cavalry, Gamble's Cavalry Brigade at the northern end of General Buford's picket line at Herr Ridge (westlich vor McPherson's Ridge (Newton: McPherson's Ridge, p. 19).

 

In Gettysburg his command was part of Col. Thomas C. Devin's brigade, and was noted as the first Uni­on soldiers to enga­ge Confederate forces approaching Gettysburg via the Cashtown road. Shortly after the battle, Chapman was given brigade command in the cavalry of the Army of the Potomac until March 1864. Chapman participated in the Valley Campaigns of 1864 against Confe­derate Lt. Gen. Jubal Early's forces, lasting from May to October. He was promoted to the rank of brigadier gene­ral on July 21. Chap­man led a cavalry brigade in the Union Army of the Shenandoah from August 6 until September 19, when he was wounded during the Third Battle of Winchester. Recovered by the following month, Chapman resumed leading a cavalry bri­gade in the Shenandoah Valley. Beginning on January 5, 1865, Chapman led a cavalry division of the Army of the Shenandoah. After the Battle of Waynesbo­ro, Virginia on March 2, he was ordered to remain in the Shenandoah Valley while the rest of the Union forces headed for Petersburg, Virginia. Chapman had with him now three small regiments and a few artillery pieces to hold the Valley. Near the end of the war he was brevetted to major general in the Union Army on March 13, in recognition of his performance at Winches­ter in September 1864. Beginning on April 19, 1865, he was given command of the cavalry division assigned to Washington, D.C. (aus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ge­orge_Henry_Chapman).

Chase, Salmon Portland:

1808 Cornish / NH - 1873; Anwalt in Ohio, 1849 US-Senator; Free Soil Demokrat, entwickelte sich schnell zu einem der führenden Gegner der Sklaverei, Führer der Mehrheit auf dem Parteikongreß der Demokraten gegen die *Barnburners; Chase strebte bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen 1849 eine Koalition mit Sklavereigegnern über die Parteigrenzen hinweg an, um die Wahl von Zachary *Tay­lor zum Präsidenten zu verhindern. Als gewiefter Anwalt, der auch entlaufene Sklaven verteidigt hatte, verband Chase religiöse Über­zeugung und Humorlosigkeit mit unstillbarem Ehrgeiz und politischem Weitblick (McPherson: Für die Freiheit sterben, p. 54). Um 1860 war Chase Governor von Ohio (Schurz, Reminiscenses, vol. 2, S. 169). Carl *Schurz charakterisiert in seinem 'Reminiscenses Chase als einen der stattlichsten Personen im US-Senat, der sich durch eine klare, schnörkellose Rede- und Argumentationsweise auszeichnete (Schurz, Reminiscenses, vol. 2, S. 34). Gouverneur von Ohio (1856-60), erst Mitglied der Demokratischen, dann Mit­glied der neugegründeten Republikanischen Partei, später wieder Demokrat; Chase bewarb sich als Präsidentschaftskandidat der Re­publikanischen Partei für die Wahlen von 1856, unterlag aber dem politisch weithin unbekannten John Charles Frémont; erneute Be­werbung für die Wahlen von 1860, Chase verzichtete dann aber zugunsten des moderateren Lin­coln; Wiederwahl in den US-Senat; ab März 1861 US-Finanzminister in Lincoln's Kabinett. Chase unterstützte Gen Pope gegen Mc­Clellan und trat zusammen mit Kriegs­minister Stanton Ende August 1862 für die Ablösung McClellan's ein (Chase: Diary, Ein­trag vom 29.8.1862, p. 116; Sears: Landsca­pe Turned Red, p. 8; Sears: Controversies & Commanders, p. 77ff., 83).

 

Chase, a former Free Soiler and radical antislavery man, was chosen to head the treasury, not because of his financial acumen but for his political influence. Emergencies brought out the best in Chase, and he became the right man to support such experiments in public funding as an income tax, „greenback“ currency, a national banking system, and wide use of loans and bonding. He shrewdly brought Jay Cooke's banking into the loanselling business, and the Union, which had nearly suffered monetary collapse, became soundly fun­ded as the economy shifted into high gear. The gross national product not only sustained the huge war effort, it also effected west­ward expansion (Vandiver: 1001 Things, p. 14-15).

 

Chase versuchte den Präsidenten bei der Wahl von 1864 von der Kandidatur abzubringen; Rücktritt als Finanzminister am 30.6.1864 (Welles, Diary II 62); Welles kritisierte die Finanzpolitik von Chase heftig (Welles Diary II 59, 61) und hielt Chase für über­mäßig ehrgeizig und selbstsüchtig (ebd. II 121); 1864 von Lincoln zum Präsidenten des Supreme Court ernannt (1864-1873).

Chatfield, Henry Whitney:

US-Lt und Adjutant, Co. F&S, 17th Regiment Connecticut Infantry (National Park Soldiers M535 Roll 3); Chatfield was conspi­cuous at Chancellorsville, where he helped to rally the remnants of his regiment. Promoted to Adjutant, Chatfield was killed at Dunn's Lake, Florida on February 5, 1865 as he tried to fight his way out of a Confederate ambush. His grief stricken parents brought his body home for burial in Bridgeport (http://www.seventeenthcvi.org/images_fs.html).

 

Adjutant Henry Whitney Chatfield of Bridgeport, went out as a private in the Seventeenth at the age of eighteen. Being a young man of education, he was detached for service under Adjutant Wilcoxson, and afterwards at the headquarters of Adjutant-Gen. Meisen­burg. At Gettysburg, Lieut-Col. Fowler was shot dead by his side: Chatfield's horse was killed, his haversack torn in pieces, and a Re­volutionary sword at his side broken into fragments; yet he was unharmed. While on Morris Island, he volunteered with the other of­ficers of the brigade to storm Fort Sumter, when its defenders were bewildered under the first crash of Gilmore's batteries. In Florida, he was adjutant of the brigade. Gen. Noble writes of him, "The loss of young Chatfield was sadly felt by a large circle of friends in and out of the army. He was a true man and a brave soldier, who served from convictions of duty and patriotic devotion. With a heart true as steel, and brave as the bravest, there was a charm of genial gentleness which attracted all, and made him friends wherever he went." (aus: The Military and Civil History of Connecticut During the War of 1861-65, by William Augustus Croffut, John Moses Morris, published by Ledyard Bill, 1869; www.findagrave.com).

Cheatham, Benjamin Franklin:

CS-MajGen; aus Tennessee; während der Shiloh Campaign vom Frühjahr 1862 war Cheatham Divisionskommandeur der 2nd Divisi­on I. Army Corps MajGen Leonidas Polk in A. S. Johnston's Army of the Mississippi. Cheatham's Division umfaßte folgende Einhei­ten:

- 1st Brigade BrigGen Bushrod R. Johnson

- Blythe's Mississippi Regiment

- 2nd Tennessee Infantry

- 15th Tennessee Infantry

- 154th Tennessee Infantry Col Marcus J. *Wright

- Polk's Tennessee Battery

- 2nd Brigade Col William H. Stephens

- 7th Kentucky Infantry

- 1st Tennessee Battalion

- 6th Tennessee Infantry

- 9th Tennessee Infantry

- Stanford's Mississippi Battery

- Cavalry

- 1st Mississippi Cavalry

- Brewer's Mississippi and Alabama Battalion Cavalry

- Unattached Troops

- 47th Tennessee Infantry

 

In Shiloh war Cheatham's Division zunächst detachiert bei *Bethel Station eingesetzt (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 117 mit Karte S. 25). Auf Befehl des AOK Johnston machte Cheatham am 1.4.1862 eine Aufklärung von Purdy zum Tennessee River, die auf die in Gefechts­bereitschaft aufmarschierte US-Division von Lew Wallace stieß. Cheatham's Meldung war Anlaß für das AOK Johnston, den Angriff Richtung Shiloh zu befehlen, um dem US-Angriff zuvor zu kommen (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 117). Infolge eines Füh­rungsfehlers des AOK blieb Cheatham's Division zunächst in Bethel Station und wurde erst am 5.4.1862 Richtung Shiloh in Marsch gesetzt, band jedoch hierdurch Lew Wallace 3rd US-Division bei Crumb's Landing (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 122).

 

Cheatham's Division wurde während Sherman’s *Meridian Campaign zur Unterstützung von Polk nach Meridian kommandiert (Cast­el, Decision in the West, S. 49 ff.).

 

Divisionskommandeur der Division Cheatham, Hardee's Corps in Joseph E. Johnston's Army of the Tennessee im Frühjahr 1864 (Castel: Decision in the West, p. 49). Cheatham war kein West Pointer; während des Mexican War war Cheatham Colonel ei­nes Regi­ments; er wurde von seinen Männern als „geborener Führer“ bezeichnet; Cheatham neigte dem Whisky zu, und führte im Gefecht persönlich seine Männer in den Kampf.

 

MajGen Bragg, der Kommandierende General der Army of Tennessee beurteilte Cheatham als unfit für eine Führungsaufgabe (Noe: Perryville, p. 24) bzw. als gefährlich, zum einen wegen dessen Trunksucht, zum anderen weil Cheatham mit anderen Divisionskomm­andeuren die Absetzung Bragg's in Richmond versuchte. Bragg suchte deshalb Cheatham's Einfluß zu vermindern, in­dem er drei der Brigaden von Cheatham's Division zu anderen Divisionen ver­legte. Nach der Ablösung Bragg's durch LtGen John­ston stellte dieser die alte Gliederung der Division Cheatham wieder her (Castel: Decision in the West, p. 50). Hierdurch gewann Johnston die Dankbarkeit der Regimenter der Division (Castel: Decision, p. 50).

 

Er war 1864 Divisionskommandeur in Hardee's Corps (Hood's Army). Hood empfahl Cheatham zur Beförderung zum LtGen und als Nachfolger Hardee's, nachdem dieser auf eigenen Wunsch am 23.9.1864 von seinem Kommando als Korpskommandeur entbunden worden war. Hood zog später seine Empfehlung zugunsten Cheatham's zurück (Hay: "Pat Cleburne, Stonewall of the West," in: Buck: Cleburne and his Command, p. 52 m.w.N.). Der New York Herald (zitiert in Charleston Daily Courier v. 15.8.1864) kommen­tierte: "Cheatham is only a fighter, not a general, and a better horse jockey than either."

Chestnut, James, Jr.:

CS-BrigGen; 1815-1.2.1885; graduated von Princeton University; verheiratet mit Mary Boykin *Chestnut; er diente 14 Jahre in der Legislature von South Carolina; 1859 wurde er gebeten, einen frei gewordenen Sitz im US-Senat zu besetzen; US-Senator bis 10.11.1860, als er bei Beginn der Sezession North Carolinas, aus dem Senat zurücktrat, um den Süden zu unterstützen (Davis: A Government of Our Own, p. 8); Delegierter von South Carolina auf der Secession Convention in Montgomery / Alabama im Februar 1861 (Davis: A Govern­ment of Our Own, p. 49 ff). Chestnut überbrachte in der Nacht des 12.4.1861 Fort Sumter die CS-Übergabeforderung (Chestnut: Diary from Dixie, p. 34); Chestnut war bei 1st Manassas CS-Colonel und "aide de camp" bei CS-General Beauregard (Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. 38; Chestnut: Diary from Dixie, S. 34; Freeman: Lee's Lieutenants, p. 69); anschließend war Chestnut Aide bei Präsident Jefferson Davis; im weiteren Verlauf des Krieges befehligte er als BrigGen die CS-Truppen an der Küste von South Carolina (Chestnut: Diary from Dixie, Introduction S. xviii); in der Nach­kriegszeit engagierte Chestnut sich im öffentlichen Leben von South Carolina, soweit es die US-Politik der Recon­struction zuließ.

 

In 1858 Chesnut was elected by the South Carolina Legislature to the U.S. Senate as a Democrat to replace Josiah J. Evans. He served there for two years alongside Senator James Henry Hammond of South Carolina. Although a defender of slavery and states' rights, Chesnut opposed the re-opening of the African slave trade and was not as staunch a secessionist as most of the South Carolinian politicians. Moderate in his political views, he believed in extending protections for slavery's westward expansion while remaining within the Union. But the political atmosphere tightened towards the Presidential Election of 1860, since the Republican Party and its presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln, opposed slavery. After the results of the election were known, Chesnut decided that he could no longer stay in his office in the Senate. Shortly after Lincoln's election, he was the first Southern senator to withdraw from the Senate, on November 10, 1860. (He was expelled in absentia from the Senate the next year). Chestnut participated in the South Carolina secession convention in December 1860 and was subsequently elected to the Provisional Congress of the Con­federate States. He was a member of the committee which drafted the Confederate States Constitution (wikipedia, keyword 'James Chestnut', acces­sed 10.12.2018).

Nach der Schlacht von Antietam schreibt Child an seine Frau: „My Dear Wife; Day before yesterday I dressed the wounds of 64 dif­ferent men - some having two or three each. Yesterday I was at work from daylight till dark - today I am completely exhausted - but stall soon be able to go at it again. The days after the battle are a thousand times worse than the day of the battle – and the physical pain is not the greatest pain suffered. How awful it is - you have not can have until you see it any idea of affairs after a battle. The dead appear sickening but they suffer no pain. But the poor wounded mutilated soldiers that yet have life and sensation make a most horrid picture. I pray God may stop such infernal work - through perhaps he has sent it upon us for our sins. Great indeed must have been our sins if such is our punishment. Our Reg. Started this morning for Harpers Ferry - 14 miles. I am detailed with others to re­main here until the wounded are removed - then join the Reg. With my nurses. I expect there will be another great fight at Harpers Ferry ...“ (Brief Childs, wohl vom 18.9.1862, veröffentlicht bei Antietam National Battlefield Letters and Diaries of Soldiers and Ci­vilians, http://www.nps.gov/anti/learn/education/upload/Letters).

Choate, Rufus:

1.10.1799 in Essex oder Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts - † 13.7.1859 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Kanada) war ein US-amerika­nischer Jurist und Politiker der National Republican Party sowie der Whig Party, der unter anderem den Bundesstaat Massachusetts sowohl im Repräsentantenhaus als auch im Senat der Vereinigten Staaten vertrat (wikipedia, Stichwort, Choate, Abruf v. 20.2.2017).

 

Choate stammte aus einer Familie, die sich bereits 1667 in Massachusetts niederließ. Sein Großvater John Choate war zwischen 1741 und 1761 Mitglied im Repräsentantenhaus von Massachusetts. Er selbst galt früh als Wunderkind, das im Alter von sechs Jahren län­gere Texte der Bibel sowie der Pilgerreise zur seligen Ewigkeit auswendig aufsagen konnte. Nach dem Schulbesuch studierte er zu­nächst am Dartmouth College, das er 1819 als Jahrgangsbester abschloss, und war an diesem anschließend von 1819 bis 1820 als Tu­tor tätig. Im Anschluss studierte er Rechtswissenschaft zunächst an der Law School der Harvard University, ehe er zwischen 1821 und 1822 seine juristische Ausbildung im Büro des damaligen US Attorney General William Wirt in Washington, D.C. Fortsetzte. Nach seiner anwaltlichen Zulassung in Massachusetts wurde er 1823 Rechtsanwalt in Peabody und war dort bis 1828 tätig. Während dieser Zeit begann er zugleich seine politische Laufbahn und war zunächst von 1825 bis 1826 wie sein Großvater Mitglied im Reprä­sentantenhaus von Massachusetts, ehe er 1827 Mitglied im Senat von Massachusetts war. 1828 nahm er seine Tätigkeit als Rechtsan­walt in Salem auf und erreichte dabei bald öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit durch einige von ihm übernommene bedeutende Gerichtsver­fahren (wikipedia, Stichwort, Choate, Abruf v. 20.2.2017).

 

1830 wurde er als Kandidat der National Republican Party zum Mitglied in das US-Repräsentantenhaus gewählt und vertrat in die­sem nach seiner Wiederwahl 1832 vom 4. März 1831 bis zum 30. Juni 1834 den zweiten Kongresswahlbezirk von Massachusetts. Bei seiner ersten Wahlen konnte er sich gegen den langjährigen Wahlkreisinhaber der Föderalistischen Partei und ehemaligen Mari­neminister in den Kabinetten der US-Präsidenten James Madison und James Monroe, Benjamin Williams Crowninshield, durch­setzen. Während seiner Mitgliedschaft im Repräsentantenhaus hielt er insbesondere eine bemerkenswerte Rede zur Verteidigung ei­nes Schutzzolls. Noch vor Beendigung seiner zweiten Legislaturperiode im 23. US-Kongress trat er am 30. Juni 1834 als Abgeordne­ter zurück und wurde Rechtsanwalt in Boston. Zu dieser Zeit galt er in den gesamten Staaten Neuenglands bereits als großer Redner und hielt Reden auf zahlreichen öffentlichen Veranstaltungen. Nachdem er sich mehrere Jahre seiner anwaltlichen Tätigkeit widmete, kehrte er 1841 ins politische Leben zurück und wurde für die Whig Party als Nachfolger von Daniel Webster, der zum Außenminister in das Kabinett von William Henry Harrison ernannt wurde, Mitglied in den US-Senat für Massachusetts als Senator Class 1. Dem Senat gehörte er vom 23. Februar 1841 bis zum Ende der regulären Amtszeit Websters am 3. März 1845. Bereits wenige Wochen nach seinem Einzug in den Senat hielt Choate eine seiner bemerkenswertesten Reden anlässlich der Trauerfeierlichkeiten in der Fa­neuil Hall in Boston für den am 4. April 1841 verstorbenen Präsidenten William H. Harrison. Als Senator widmete er sich Themen wie Schutzzölle, Oregon-Kompromiss, Fiscal Bank Act sowie der Annexion von Texas, gegen die er sich im März 1845 bei einer De­batte aussprach (wikipedia, Stichwort, Choate, Abruf v. 20.2.2017).

 

1845 verzichtete er auf eine erneute Kandidatur für den Senat, worauf Daniel Webster wieder Senator wurde und nahm anschließend wieder seine anwaltliche Tätigkeit auf. Mehrere Jahre zog er sich auch weitgehend vom politischen Leben zurück, war aber ein großer Befürworter von Daniel Websters Politik, die dieser in seiner berühmten Seventh of March Speech vom 7. März 1850 darstell­te. Andererseits scheiterte Choate jedoch bei seinen Bemühungen zur Unterstützung der Kandidatur Websters für die Whig Party bei der Präsidentschaftswahl in den Vereinigten Staaten 1852. Danach war er 1853 für einige Zeit Mitglied der Verfassunggebenden Ver­sammlung von Massachusetts war und darüber hinaus zwischen 1853 und 1854 auch Attorney General des Bundesstaates. 1854 wur­de er in die American Academy of Arts and Sciences gewählt. Bei der US-Präsidentschaftswahl 1856 lehnte er anders als zahlreiche Whig Party-Mitglieder den Eintritt in die Republikanische Partei ab und gab dem Präsidentschaftskandidaten der Demokratischen Partei James Buchanan, in dem er anders als im republikanischen Kandidaten John C. Frémont den Repräsentanten einer nationalen Partei sah (wikipedia, Stichwort, Choate, Abruf v. 20.2.2017).

 

Im Juli 1859 verschlechterte sich sein Gesundheitszustand, so dass er eine Erholungsreise nach Europa beabsichtigte. Diese konnte er aber nicht mehr antraten, sondern verstarb kurz vor seiner Einschiffung am 13. Juli 1859 in Halifax. Rufus Choate wurde durch die Aufnahme in die Hall of Fame for Great Americans geehrt (wikipedia, Stichwort, Choate, Abruf v. 20.2.2017).

Clanton, James Holt:

CS-BrigGen; Kommandeur Clanton’s Brigade of Alabama Cavalry; 1862 Col 1st Alabama Cavalry (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 69).

 

Das Regiment gehörte im Battle of Shiloh zum II. Army Corps MajGen Braxton Bragg 2nd Division BrigGen Jones M. Withers 3rd Brigade BrigGen John K. Jackson (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 321). Bei der Ablösung der 19th Alabama Infantry von Sicherungs­aufgaben bei Monterey durch Randal Gibson’s Brigade (II. Army Corps MajGen Braxton Bragg 1st Division BrigGen Daniel Rug­gles 1st Brigade Col Randal L. Gibson) bildete die 1st Alabama Cavalry den Screening Schirm (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 116).

 

Clanton versuchte mit 200 Kavalleristen während *Rousseau’s Raid nach Alabama im Juli 1864 die US-Truppen am Übergang über den Coosa-River zu hindern. Clanton stammte aus einer reichen Plantagenbesitzerfamilie und wuchs bei Callebee Creek / Alabama auf. Clanton war Freiwilliger und Veteran des Mexiko-Krieges, dann Rechtsanwalt und arbeitete in der Alabama Verwaltung. Er war gegen die Sezession, folgte aber nach Kriegsbeginn der Sache des Südens, hob auf eigene Kosten eine Company aus und wurde zum Colonel des 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment gewählt; er wird als „gallant to rashness“ charakterisiert. Er war seinen Vorgesetzten ein unbequemer Untergebener. Nach einer Auseinandersetzung mit CS-Gen Braxton Bragg, trat er zurück und bat um Versetzung nach Nord-Virginia. Stattdessen wurde er Brigadekommandeur einer gemischten Brigade in Alabama und zum BrigGen ernannt (Evans, Sherman’s Horsemen, p. 110). Nach einer Revolte in seiner Brigade, deren Soldaten mehrheitlich unionistisch gesinnt waren, geriet er in den Ruch der politischen Unzuverlässigkeit, obwohl er im Kriegsgerichtsverfahren freigesprochen wurde. Nach Auflö­sung sei­ner Brigade wurde er zunächst in den Stab von Leonidas Polk versetzt, wo er sich bei der Evakuierung der Artillerie über den Etowah River gegen Sherman’s Angriff auszeichnete. Nachdem Gen. Polk am 14.6.1864 gefallen war, wurde Clanton von Gen. Joe Johnston als unzuverlässig und ungeeignet auf einen abgelegenen Posten in den Blue Mountain / Nordalabama versetzt, wo er eine kleine Bri­gade bestehend aus 6th und 8th Alabama Cavalry kommandierte.

 

Als Clanton vom Erscheinen der Truppen Rousseau’s am Coosa River erfuhr, griff er mit Teilen der 6th Alabama Cavalry energisch trotz der Unterlegenheit seiner Truppen im Morgengrauen an der Fährstelle bei Greensport/Coosa River an (Karte Davis Nr. 119, Karte bei Evans, p. 99; Gefechtskarte bei Evans S. 112), nachdem er zuvor alles unternommen hatte, um seine weiteren Kräfte zu­sammenzuziehen (Evans, p. 111).

 

Clanton wurde nach dem Krieg von einem früheren Unionsoffizier, David M. Nelson, in Knoxville Tennessee 1871 erschossen (Evans, Sherman’s Horsemen, p. 508 Anm. 23 m.w.N.).

Teilnahme am Battle of Shiloh am 6.4.1862. Clark führte persön­lich den Angriff der 12th Tennessee Infantry und der 13th Tennessee Infantry am Morgen des 6.4.1862 über Rea Field auf Battery E 1st Illinois Light Artillery (Waterhouse’ Battery). Hierbei gelang es der 12th Tennessee Infantry zusammen mit der 13th Tennessee Infantry die 57th Ohio Infantry 500 Yards zurück zu treiben. Clark erlitt hierbei eine schwere Schulterwunde (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 168).

 

Clark erholte sich von seiner Verwundung, wurde jedoch vier Monate später im Battle von Baton Rouge erneut schwer verwundet und fiel in Kriegsgefangenschaft. Er war in der Folge auf die Benützung einer Krücke angewiesen. Aufgrund seiner Dienstunfähig­keit schied er nach seiner Freilassung aus der Army am 31.10.1863 aus und wurde im Spätjahr 1863 zum Governor von Mississippi gewählt.

Im Battle of New Bern am 13.3.1862 eingesetzt. BrigGen Branch positioned his troops to defend the line at Fort Thompson. On his left, between the fort and the Beaufort Road, he placed the 27th and 37th North Carolina (Col Charles C. *Lee). Colonel C. C. *Lee commanded the left wing. His right wing, led by Col. Reuben Campbell, consisted of the 7th North Carolina Infantry (Col. Reuben *Campbell) and 35th North Carolina, Latham’s and Brem’s batteries (minus one section), an independent company of infantry, and the militia battalion under Col. H. J. B. Clark. The right wing covered the area between Beaufort Road and the brick kiln on the rail­road. Extending Campbell’s wing to the right of the railroad were the 26th North Carolina, the 2nd North Carolina Cavalry, a section of Brem’s artillery, and “one or two detached companies.” The 33rd North Carolina served as Branch’s only reserve for his thinly spread front line (McGee, David H.: 26th North Carolina Regimental History, http://www.26nc.org/History/26th-Regimen­tal-History/26th, S.24).

 

OR 9, S. 268 No. 30. Report of Colonel H. J. B. Clark, Special Battalion North Carolina Militia.

HDQRS. NORTH CAROLINA MILITIA, SPECIAL BATTALION,

Kinston, N. C., March 17, 1862.

SIR: In compliance with your instructions, received at New Berne 9 p.m. March 13, to report to Colonel Campbell at his headquar­ters, at Fort Thompson breastworks, I respectfully report that I repaired forthwith to that place, accompanied by Major Joseph N. Jo­nes, but did not find Colonel Campbell.

Major Jones called at Colonel Vance's encampment and was informed there that Colonel Campbell had gone in the direction of New Berne.

Proceeding thence to New Berne, by way of Colonel Lee's encampment, went to Colonel Campbell's encampment, and reported, in his absence, to Lieutenant Colonel E. G. Haywood, who directed me to report for duty at the depot of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad in New Berne on the following day, 5 a.m. The company was promptly reported and left New Berne at 8 a.m., and arriving at the breastworks was assigned position.

On the following morning, March 14, my command was placed in line of battle, numbering 264,20 having been detailed for hospital duty and 45 to aid Lieutenant Hawks in mounting cannon on the right of the breastworks. These last were forced from the works by the enemy's sharpshooters and came to the ranks after the action commenced.

As soon as the firing commenced the ground in front of me was so obscured by smoke that I could see but a short distance, and as fi­ring had commenced on my left with guns of longer range, as soon as I thought the enemy within reach of my guns commenced the fire by file, which order was promptly obeyed with coolness and determination. After firing three rounds I commanded the fire to cease. Soon after the smoke cleared away and the enemy were plainly seen drawn up in force on our right, and a company of sharps­hooters commenced pouring a fire into our rear, doing considerable execution and causing confusion in my ranks, but an order to ral­ly and take position was promptly obeyed, and calmness restored by the assurance that you would soon send re-enforcements; but the fire was continued on us and with redoubled energy, while they (the enemy) crossed the railroad, took possession of the rifle pits on our right and rear, and planted the Stars and Stripes.

Previous to this, however, they had fire upon a reconnoitering party I sent in that direction and upon the quartermaster and teamsters I had sent to recover the ammunition.

I at once time intended to leave the breastworks and charge upon the enemy, and for this purpose caused bayonets to be fixed; but when I saw the sharpshooters were supported by so large a force of the enemy, concluded that such attempt would result in great loss of life to my command without being able to effect corresponding good to our cause, and just as Colonel Vance poured his first fire into the enemy, a panic seized my command and part of them broke ranks.

Believing it impossible to reform under the fire of these sharpshooters at this moment of confusion I commanded a retreat in order, which was succeeded by a stampede of most of command. As soon as they had reached a small brush-wood, perhaps 60 yards distant, I ordered a rally and reformation of the line, in which I was promptly aided by every officer present to my view and for the moment thought I should succeed, but the cry was made that the regulars had retreated; the panic was renewed and increased and my influ­ence as a commander gone.

A few, perhaps 20 in all, with their officers, rallied and volunteered to return and obey my orders; but believing it would involve a sa­crifice of life to them, being untutored, as we were, in the art of war, I declined to do so, and in my efforts to rally others to join them became separated from these.

In the retreat I joined you at the railroad crossing, when you proposed to rally and cover the retreat. There I rallied a squad of the Athens Guards and Cow Creek Volunteers, with most of their officers; but soon the retreating column came on and this joined with them.

Leaving you there I went, together with Adjutant Roberts and Lieutenant Mitchell, to burn the tents at Colonel Lee's encampment. From this point we went to Trent (Clairmont) Bridge and found Major Hall making an effort to reform a regiment, and at his request took position on the bridge, to prevent soldiers passing, and remained there until an officer, said to be Lieutenant Burrows, took char­ge. At the close of the day I parted with you at Tuscarora, having received orders to rally my command and report at this place.

I have made as accurate report to Colonel Campbell of the number of my command in action, of the number killed, wounded, and missing, as I could gather from the commanders of companies. It is believed there were certainly 4 killed and 15 wounded, and there are many missing.

Respectfully,

H. J. B. CLARK,

Colonel, Commanding.

Brigadier General L. O'B. BRANCH,

District of Pamlico.

 

Henry J. B. Clark kannte das Gefechtsgelände bestens. °° 4.10.1837mit Mathilda D. Clark (Tochter des Ziegelfabrikanten Elijah Clark). Elijah Clark owned one of the earliest brick companies. A large abandoned clay pit identified in The Whitford Papers, was lo­cated in New Bern near Lawson’s Creek. Elijah Clark’s daughter, Matilda D. Clark, married Henry J. B. Clark (not related) of Wa­shington, NC on October 4, 1837 in Craven County. Henry Clark also served as an officer in the Confederate army and saw action in the battle of New Bern. Henry and Matilda Clark are buried in the Cedar Grove cemetery in New Bern. Henry Clark supplied the brick for the First Baptist Church on Middle Street in New Bern in the 1840s. At some point before 1860, the brick making operation was moved to an area west of New Bern where clay was suitable and obtainable. This area eventually became known as Clarks. One of the earliest known records is the Guion Map of 1864, showing Clark’s brickyard, along the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, eight miles west of New Bern (aus http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com).

Johnston, ein Engineer aus dem Stab von Gen Lee, von Gen Lee beauftragt, „to reconnoiter along the enemy's left and return as soon as possible“ (zitiert ohne Quellengabe bei Tru­deau: Gettysburg, S. 279). Begin­ning at 4 A.M., Johnston rode over the ground between Willoughby Run and Marsh Creek leading east toward Emmitsburg Pike. He examined the terrain between the pike and the Round Tops, rode over the slopes and over the crest of these knobs [Anm.: diese waren also am Morgen des 2.7.1863 noch nicht von US-Truppen besetzt], crossed the Slyder farm, and returned. When rea­ching headquar­ters, General Lee „was surprised of my getting so far“. Gen Lee ordered Captain Johnston to join Longstreet's column on its march to the right wing of Lee's army of Northern Virginia (Gallagher [ed.]: The Second Day at Gettysburg, p. 71. Er wurde begleitet von Ma­jor John J. *Clarke, einem engineer officer aus Longstreet's Stab (Tru­deau: Gettysburg, S. 279).

Holding the same position in the Army of Va. until Oct. '62 and in the Dept. of the Northwest until 20 Mar. 1863, he was promoted Co!. Add. A.D.C. 5 July '62 and Lt. Co!. Deputy Q.M. Gen. 15 Apr. '64. He was in the Q.M. Gen.'s of­fice until 24 Aug '64, when he took charge of the Memphis Depot until 1866. Continuing in the R.A., he was retired in 1869 as Col. and breveted B.G. USA (Boatner: Dictionary, p. 157).

 

In Summer 1862 Col Robert E. Clary was responsible for Railroads of Pope's Army of Virginia. For this condition Pope blamed the nonfunctioning railroads, the army's lifeline. During the summer the roads had been under the command of Colori.el Herman "Haupt, a first-rate railroad man and engineer from Massachusetts. But Pope thought Haupt and his services unnecessary and sent him home. That left control of the roads to the army's Quartermaster, Col Robert E. Clary. Clary was not up to the job; he was "too old and easy," Pope later said. Officers along the. road interfered with traffic at their whim. Schedules were ignored. By mid-August traffic on the Orange and Alexandria ground to a halt. Pope concluded that the management of the railroad was "wretched and inefficient." He swallowed .hard and asked the government to return Haupt to the job. "Come back immediately," Washington telegraphed Haupt, "cannot get along without you; not a wheel moving on any of the roads." It would take some time for Haupt to get the railroads working again - to get supplies flowing smoothly - and .in the meantime the soldiers took to the fields to squeeze the last morsels of nutrition out of Culpeper County (Hennessy: Return zo Bull Run, p. 39; Haupt: Reminiscenses p. 69-70).

 

 

Clay, Cassius Marcellus:

US-MajGen; 1803-1910; Clay war in der Vorkriegszeit ein antislavery Verleger und Politiker in Kentucky in Lexington. Er verteidig­te seine Firma mit zwei Kanonen und durch seinen Ruf als erfolgreicher Duellant. Schließlich montierten während einer Abwesenheit seine Gegner (Kentucky war Sklavenhalterstaat) Clay's Druckerpresse ab und verschifften sie nach Cincinnati (Davis, William C.: Brother against Brother, p. 39). Bei Kriegsausbruch stellte er Clay's Battalion auf (Burlingame/Ettlinger: Inside Lincoln's White Hou­se. The Complete Civil War Diary of John Hay, p. 270 Anm. 5); am 28.4.1861 zum US-Botschafter in Rußland er­nannt, verzögerte er seine Abreise, um Truppen zur Verteidigung Washingtons aufzustellen. MajGen USV seit 11.4.1862 kehrte er im Juni 1862 in die USA aus Rußland zurück; resigned am 11.3.1863 und kehrte als Botschafter auf seinen Posten zurück, wo er Bot­schafter bis 1869 war. Nach seiner Rückkehr war er politisch aktiv als Mitglied des Liberal Republican Movement 1872; er unter­stützte Horace Gree­ley's Präsidentschaftskandidatur und griff Grant's Regierung an. Cousin von Henry *Clay.

 

 

Clay, Clement C.:

CS-Agent; früherer US-Senator aus Alabama; Clay traf am 5.1.1861 zur Vorbereitung des CS-Gründungskongresses vom Februar 1861 und zur Vorbereitung der Entscheidung über die Sezession mit Jefferson *Davis, Albert G. *Brown u.a. anderen zusammen (Da­vis: A Government of Our Own, p. 13).

 

Clay was an old friend of President Jefferson Davis (Davis: Jefferson Davis, p. 605).

 

Clay leitete eine Gruppe im CS-War Department, die Jacob *Thompson bei den Geheimdienstaktionen in Kanada ab 1864 unterstütz­te (Tidwell, April 65 - Confederate Covert Action, p. 32). Nach McPherson (Für die Freiheit sterben, p. 752) war Clement neben Ja­cob *Thompson in Canada eingesetzt, um von dort aus den Norden zu unterwandern und die Kriegsgegner in der Wahl von 1864 zu stärken, insb. durch Einschleusung von Agenten in die *Copperhead-Gruppen.

Clay, Henry:

US-Senator aus Kentucky; +++-1852; er vertrat einen Staat im Senat, in dem sich Sklavenhalter und Abolitionisten die Waage hiel­ten; Clay war ein bedeutender Mediator, der sog. "Great Pacificator" der mit seinen berühmten Kompromissen von 1820 und 1833 und erneut in der Krise der 50er Jahre (ausgelöst durch die "Wilmot Proviso" (Davis, William C.: Brother against Brother, p. 42, 44) den Süden beschwichtigen und mit dem Norden zum Ausgleich bringen wollte. Clay war Nationalist und trat gegen die Sezessionist­en für die Einheit der Union ein (McPherson, Für die Freiheit sterben, p. 63; Davis, William C.: Brother against Brot­her. The War Begins, p. 33). Der Vorschlag Clay's, daß von den neuen Bundesstaaten Kalifornien sklavenfrei, der von Mexico eroberte Bereich dagegen die Sklavenhaltung erlauben sollte, wurde 1850 Gesetz. Clay rettete 1850 hierdurch die Union und vermied Sezession und Bürgerkrieg (Davis, William C.: Brother against Brot­her, p. 45). Clay, dessen Kompromiß von 1850 die Nation wieder vereint hatte, kandidierte erfolglos fünfmal als Präsidentschaftsbe­werber und wurde jedesmal geschlagen. Cousin von Cassius Marcellus *Clay.

 

Along with Lincoln, Clay stands as the most remarkable American of his century (Davis: Orphan Brigade, p. 3).

Clay-Clopton, Virginia Caroline Tunstall:

Ehefrau von Senator Clement C. Clay; 16.1.1825 Nash County, NC - † 23.1.1915 Madison County, Huntsville, Alabama, buried Maple Hill Cemetery Huntsville, Block 13 Row 9 (Photo www.findagrave). ∞ I Clement C. Clay († 1882); ∞ II 1887 David *Clopton

 

She knew everyone and everyone knew her. A wealthy belle, married to prominent legislator, Clement Clay, she became one of Wa­shington, D.C.'s great hostesses. This is as witty, gossipy, fashionable, and gritty a tale of antebellum Washington as you'll ever read. As her biographical researcher stated: "I have come upon no record of any other woman of her time who has filled so powerful a place politically, whose belleship has been so long sustained, or whose magnetism and compelling fascinations have swayed others so universally as have those of Mrs. Clay-Clopton." When the American Civil War came, however, she and her husband transferred their loyalty, services, and her "belleship" to the south. She describes in wonderful detail her life in Washington, the sorrows and pri­vations of the war, and her husband's incarceration after the war during his life-threatening illness. Once the war was over, Virginia Clay was right back in the midst of high society in Washington. She took her plea for her husband's release personally to Secretary of War Stanton, Lieutenant-General Grant, and right into the office of President Andrew Johnson. Old northern friends embraced her warmly and she was astonished to be welcomed back into social circles.

Clayton, Powell:

US-BrigGen; US-Col 5th Kansas Cavalry (US). Clayton was born in Bethel in Delaware County in Pennsylvania, to John and Ann Glover Clayton. He was a direct descendent of William Clayton, originally from Chichester, England.[1] Clayton the immigrant was a close friend of George Fox, founder of the Quakers, and William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania. John Clayton was an orchard kee­per and carpenter. John and Ann Clayton had ten children in all; six died in infancy. The young Clayton attended a private military academy in Bristol, Pennsylvania, north of Philadelphia. He later attended engineering school at Wilmington, Delaware.He moved to Kansas in 1855 and served as an engineer at Leavenworth, Kansas. On April 29, 1861, he is recorded as having a company of militia at Fort Leavenworth. His brothers William and John followed him to the West and, at one point, they all worked in Arkan­sas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell_Clayton).

 

In May 1861 Clayton was formally mustered into the Union Army as a captain of the 1st Kansas Infantry. In December 1861, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the 5th Kansas Cavalry and later to colonel in March 1862. During the war he served primarily in Arkansas and Missouri, fighting in several battles in those states. Occupation of Pine Bluff: During the morning and early afternoon of October 25, 1863, Clayton commanded federal troops occupying Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He successfully repulsed a three-pronged confederate attack of the forces of General John S. Marmaduke. His troops had piled cotton bales around the Pine Bluff courthouse and surrounding streets to make a barricade for the Union defenders, and it worked. Confederate losses were 41 killed, wounded, and captured. Clayton was appointed a brigadier general of volunteers on August 1, 1864 (http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Powell_ Clayton).

 

In 1868 Clayton was elected as the first Republican governor of Arkansas. His tenure was marked by soaring state debt (despite a state surplus when he took office), corruption, and violence. He was forced to declare martial law at the beginning of his term becau­se of racial tensions. Many members of his administration, and colleagues in his party were charged with corruption while he was go­vernor. Clayton was impeached by the legislature but was never formally convicted of a crime.[citation needed] He was reportedly involved with the tampering of a US Senate election between Thomas Boles and John Edwards; at the time the office was filled by election by the state legislature. Clayton was not convicted of any charges.[citation needed] His administration is mainly blamed for the Brooks–Baxter War. He worked with the legislature to improve the infrastructure in Arkansas: building railroads and new levees, as well as replacing levees destroyed during the war. While these improvements temporarily increased the debt, they were needed in­vestment for a state that had been underdeveloped before the war. The legislature established free public schools for the first time and funded the construction of some buildings. Because so little public investment had been made before, financing such projects was controversial. Clayton was persuaded to resign and accept election to the United States Senate after trying to ensure that the state would be stable under the appointment of an acting governor. While in the Senate, he worked with President Grant and his brother, William H.H. Clayton, the US Attorney in Arkansas, to have Judge Isaac Parker reassigned from Utah to Fort Smith, Arkansas, a frontier area with a high rate of violence and crime. The legendary “Hanging Judge,” along with U.S. Attorney Clayton, are credited with bringing law and order to the region. W.H.H. Clayton was later instrumental in bringing statehood to Oklahoma (http://en.wiki­pedia.org/ wiki/ Powell_ Clayton).

Clayton was appointed as ambassador to Mexico in 1897 by President McKinley and served in that position until 1905.

5.12.1794 [?] Green County / Tennessee - † 27.2.1866 Hamilton County / Tennessee; im Mai 1862 von BrigGen George W. *Morgan zum Col ernannt mit dem Auftrag in East-Tennessee eine Partisanen-Einheit aufzustellen und die CS-Verbindungen und Versorgungs­linien zur Cumberland Gap zu unterbrechen. Clift stellte seine Einheit im Morgan County / East-Tennessee auf (Karte bei: Fisher, War at Every Door, p. 8) und erfüllte seinen Auftrag anfangs mit Erfolg. Im Juli / August 1862 wurde die Einheit in 7th Tennessee Infantry umbenannt und legte mehrere Hinterhalte in Morgan County und Anderson County / East Tennessee. Im August 1862 wurde die 7th Tennessee Infantry von einem CS Infantry Regiment unterstützt von Cavalry zerschlagen. Clift sammelte sein Regiment anschließend erneut und nahm seine Aktionen wieder auf, diesmal allerdings mit wenig Erfolg. Er verlegte deshalb sein Regiment Ende 1862 / Anfang 1863 nach Kentucky, wo die Einheit bis zur In­vasion im August 1863 verblieb (Fisher: War at Every Door, p. 73).

 

Literatur/Urkunden:

- **Clift Family Papers: Tennessee State Library and Archives: Clift Family Papers, Nr. 1968.383, Location VI-F-4

Regest: The Clift Family Papers containing approximately 150 items (269 photocopies), span the years from ca. 1820 to 1968 and are composed of Civil War letters, Bible records, a deed, wills, genealogical data and correspondence, historical and biographical sket­ches, D.A.R. and Daughters of 1812 applications, and other papers. Of special interest to the historian are the letters (August 20, 1863 to October 27, 1864) of Colonel William Clift, 7th Tennessee Regiment, U.S.A., his second wife, Elizabeth, and other members of the family in Kentucky. Clift’s letters, written largely from Knoxville, Knox County, Chattanooga (Hamilton County), and Soddy (Hamilton County), Tennessee, reflect his movement and conditions in Kentucky, his imprisonment in Atlanta, and his activities in east Tennessee, where he carried messages for the Federals through Confederate lines. There are two letters reassuring Mrs. Clift of her husband’s safety, one (March 20, 1864) written by Major General George H. Thomas, and another (September 24, 1864) written by a member of his staff. One letter (undated) from Clift’s brother-in-law tells of the excitement in Kentucky regarding the Negro question, mentioning that Colonel Frank L. Wolford has denounced the President as a traitor and that Kentucky Governor Thomas E. Bramlett did not reply to the charge. During March and April 1864, Colonel Clift wrote to his wife from Soddy, Tennessee, about the possibility of her joining him, but cautioned her that there were robbers everywhere. Clift’s views toward slavery are revealed in his statements that he favored the proposal to emancipate the slaves and to leave them in the states where they “respectively belong and let them do the labor in freedom that they have done in slavery.” The Clift family papers, including a sketch concerning how the Ci­vil War in east Tennessee affected the Clift family, center around Hamilton County, Tennessee, while the McDonald and some of the other families followed the familiar migration pattern from southwest Virginia through east Tennessee, and on to Texas. Other family lines settled in Maryland, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Since the families in this collection are so closely related, the researcher should consult folders for any families into which their lines married (aus: http://www.tn.gov/tsla/history/ manuscripts/ findingaids/68-383.pdf).

US-Spy in Col Sharpe's Bureau of Military Information; in march 1863 he had reported a „considerabell force“ at the Chancellors­ville crossroads; on the 27.4.1863 he reported, that this force had moved out, leaving Chancellorsville unguarded (Sears: Chancellorsville, p. 131; Fishel: Secret War. p. 306; Ryan: Spies, p. 8-9).

 

Cline, mixing with the enemy in disguise, reported from Hagerstown to I Corps that Ewell, Longstreet, Hill and other generals had gone beyond Hagerstown, and that the Rebel rear guard had passed through late the previous night. Cline also said that a large wagon train would be coming through Hagerstown that evening (Ryan: Spies, Scouts, and Secrets in the Gettysburg Campaign, p. 270; Cline to Doubleday, Jubne 29, 1863, RG 393, NA; Cline sent this message through MajGen Abner Doubleday, a division commander, because he believed it to be the closest Union headquarters to Hagerstown at the time [Ryan: Spies, Scouts, and Secrets in the Gettysburg Campaign, p. 270n61]).

Clingman, Thomas Lanier:

CS-BrigGen; Senator von North Carolina (Ruffin Diary II 59).

 

July 27, 1812 Huntsville/NC – † November 3, 1897 Morganton/NC, known as the "Prince of Politicians," was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from 1843 to 1845 and from 1847 to 1858, and U.S. senator from the state of North Carolina between 1858 and 1861. During the Civil War he refused to resign his Senate seat and was one of ten senators expelled from the Senate in absentia. He then served as a general in the Confederate States Army.

 

Clingman was elected to the North Carolina State house of commons in 1835. In 1836 he moved to Asheville, North Carolina. He was a member of the North Carolina State senate in 1840. In 1843 Clingman ran as a Whig and was elected to the 28th United States Congress, however he was defeated in his reelection bid in 1845. In 1845 he fought a duel with a fellow congressman William Lown­des Yancey of Alabama. In Yancey's maiden speech on the House floor, he had impugned his opponent's integrity. Both duelists had missed. In 1847 he regained the seat and won reelection in 1849, 1851, 1853, 1855 and 1857. On May 7, 1858, he resigned after becoming a United States Senator as a Democrat the previous day, replacing the resigning Asa Biggs. He was reelected but was ex­pelled from the Senate for support of the Confederacy.

 

When he first entered the War, Clingman was the commander of the 25th North Carolina Infantry and took part in the Peninsula Campaign. He later commanded a brigade of infantry. Clingman's Brigade consisted of the 8th, 31st, 51st and 61st North Carolina In­fantry. Clingman's Brigade fought at Goldsboro, Battery Wagner, Drewry's Bluff, Cold Harbor,Petersburg, Globe Tavern, Fort Fisher, and Bentonville (aus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Lanier_Clingman).

 

After the Civil War, Clingman explored and measured mountains in western North Carolina and Tennessee. Tennessee's highest mountain, also partly in North Carolina, was named Clingman's Dome in his honor. He died in Morganton, North Carolina, and was buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Asheville, North Carolina (aus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Lanier_Clingman).
