Huger, Benjamin:

CS-MajGen; US-Berufsoffizier; 1853-1855 war Huger vom damaligen Kriegsminister Jefferson Davis beauftragt, Waffenversuche mit den neuen in Europa entwickelten Infantriewaffen durchzuführen und das Enfield Gewehr mit dem amerikanischen Springfield Gewehr zu vergleichen (vgl. Nosworthy, Bloody Crucible, a.a.O., S. 78). Col Huger untersteht das Charleston Arsenal, das am 30.12.1860 von Truppen der 17th South Carolina Infantry unter Col. John *Cummingham besetzt wird (vgl. OR Ser. I Vol. I S. 6). Er trat als Major der US-Army am 22.4.1861 zurück und schloß der CSA an; BrigGen seit 17.6.1861. Chestnut (Diary S. 47) erwähnt demgegenüber am 27.4.1861 ein Gerücht, wonach Col. Ben Huger das US-Kommando in Baltimore habe. Im Dezember 1861 war der aus South Carolina stammende Gen. Huger Confederate Commander des Department of Norfolk (vgl. Chase: Diary, a.a.O., S. 279 Anm. 10): Huger sollte mit US-+++Gen Wool den Gefangenenaustausch betreffend US-Col *Corcoran und CS-'Pirat' Walter W. *Smith vornehmen (vgl. Chase: Diary v. 10.12.1861 S. 49).

CS-MajGen Daniel H. Hill ("McClellan's Change of Base and Malvern Hill," in: Battles & Leaders II, S. 388) schreibt zum Battle of White Oak Swamp Bridge vom 30.6.1862: „Longstreet and A. P. Hill struck the enemy at Frayser's farm (or Glendale) at 3 P. M. on the 30th, and, both being always ready for a fight, immediately attacked. Magruder, who followed them down the Darbytown road, was ordered to the assistance of General Holmes on the New Market road, who was not then engaged, and their two divisions took no part in the action. Huger, on the Charles City road, came upon Franklin's left flank, but made no attack. I sent my engineer W. F. Lee, to him through the swamp, to ask him whether he could not engage Franklin. He replied that the road was obstructed by fallen timber. So there were five divisions within sound of the firing, and within supporting distance, but not one of them moved. Longstreet and A. P. Hill made a desperate fight, contending against Sumner's corps, and the divisions of McCall, Kearny, and Hooker; but they failed to gain possession of the Quaker road, upon which McClellan was retreating. That night Franklin glided silently by them. He had to pass within easy range of the artillery of Longstreet and Hill, but they did not know he was there. It had been a gallant fight on their part. General Lee reported: "Many prisoners, including a general of division, McCall, were captured, and several batteries, with some thousands of small-arms, were taken." But as an obstruction to the Federal retreat, the fight amounted to nothing.“

Hughes, John T.:

CS-MajGen; 25.7.1817 bei Versailles, Ky - gefallen 11.8.1862. Die Familie zog bald nach Fayette, Howard County, Mo. Hughes graduierte 1844 vom Bonne Femme College, Mo. Teilnahme am Mexikokrieg in Doniphan's Regiment of Missouri Mounted Volunteers; über seine Kriegserlebnisse schrieb Hughes den in den ganzen USA bekannt gewordenen Klassiker 'Doniphan's Expedition'. 1848 war Hughes, Herausgeber der 'Clinton County News', Plantagenbesitzer und Sklavenhalter, Clinton County School Superintendent, Military Col der Missouri State Guards und wurde schließlich 1854 ins Missouri Parlament gewählt. 1861 nach *Lyon Angriff auf die Missouri State Guard in Camp Jackson, St. Louis, schloß Hughes der Sezession an und wurde zum Col des 1st Missouri Infantry in der 4th Division der Missouri State Guards gewählt (Allardice, a.a.O., S. 132). Während eines Scharmützels bei Independence, Mo. führte als Col während des Rückzugs von Claiborne *Jackson nach Südwest-Missouri einen Teil der Missouri State Guard in Slack's Division; Teilnahme am Battle of Carthage am 5.7.1861, wo er nach dem Rückzug von Franz Sigel's US-Truppen in die Stadt, den Angriff führte und die US-Truppen aus der Stadt vertrieb (vgl. Brooksher: Bloody Hill, a.a.O., S. 124; OR 3, 35-36) und am Battle of Wilson's Creek. Bei der Belagerung von Lexington, Mo. vom 17.-20.9.1861 wurde Hughes leicht verwundet. Im Winter 1861/62 versuchte Hughes vergeblich nach Nord-Missouri zu gelangen, um dort Rekruten anzuwerben. Nach dem Anschluß der Missouri State Guard um Frühjahr 1862 übernahm Hughes den Befehl über ein Battalion. Während des Battle of Pea Ridge am 7. und 8. März 1862 führte Hughes die 2nd Brigade der CS-Army in Nachfolge des verwundet ausgefallenen Generals William Slack. Nach der Schlacht wurden die Truppen nach Mississippi verlegt, von wo aus Hughes nach Missouri zurückkehrte, um erneut Freiwillige für die CSA anzuwerben. Am 11.8.1862 folgten Hughes und seine Rekruten anderen 'Partisan Bands' bei einem Angriff auf Independence, Mo. Bei dem Angriff, der zur Einnahme der Stadt führte ist Hughes gefallen (Allardice, a.a.O., S. 132; Little Rock Arkansas Gazette vom 13.9.1862).

US-Col; Col 2nd Michigan Infantry; während Grant's Vicksburg Campaign 1863 Col 2nd Michigan Infantry (vgl. Bearss: Vicksburg, a.a.O., vol. III S. 1145).

Humphreys, Andrew Atkinson:

US-MajGen; aus Pennsylvania; im Dezember 1862 im Battle of Fredericksburg war Humphreys als BrigGen Kommandeur der 3rd Division des V. Corps (vgl. Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, a.a.O., S. 178; Reardon, Carol: "Humphreys's Pennsylvania Division"; in: Gallagher u.a.: Fredericksburg, a.a.O., S. 80 ff.). 1863 während der Gettysburg Campaign war Humphrey Divisionskommandeur der 2nd Division im 3. Corps *Sickles. Über Sickles Führung während des Vormarschs nach Gettysburg am 1.7.1863 war Humphrey derart verärgert, daß er sich anschließend dem Raum Taneytown in Richtung Gettysburg (vgl. Sauers: Meade-Sickles Controversy, a.a.O., S. 26-37 mit Karte S. 15), ohne allerdings genaue Kenntnis von der Feindlage zu haben. Hierbei wäre Humphreys's 2nd Division beinahe Black Horse Tavern an der Hagerstown Road in biwakierende CS-Truppen hinein marschiert. Humphreys hatte aus Vorsicht jedoch, als er Biwakfeuer erkannte, zunächst eine Aufklärung angesetzt, die die Lage klärte. Humphrey änderte daraufhin die Marschstraße und traf mit seinen völlig erschöpften Soldaten erst gegen 2.00 Nachts an der Cemetery Ridge in Gettysburg ein (vgl. Sauers: Meade-Sickles Controversy, a.a.O., S. 27). Über die aus seiner Sicht mangelhafte Führung Sickles beklagte sich Humphrey brieflich bei seinen Freunden (vgl. Sauers: Meade-Sickles Controversy, a.a.O., S. 167 Anm. 60).

Gen Meade suchte nach seiner Kommandoübernahme am 28.6.1863 über die Army of the Potomac an Stelle von MajGen Dan Butterfield einen anderen Stabschef, da er dem politisch einflußreichen und verbindungsreichen Butterfield mißtraute und beabsichtigte diesen zu ersetzen. Sein Wunschkandidat war BrigGen A. A. Humphreys. Auf Anraten von verschiedenen Generalen beließ er jedoch Butterfield in seiner Funktion als Stabschef, auch um zu vermeiden, daß in der Krise vom Juli 1863 ein potentieller Nachfolger sich erst einarbeiten müsse (vgl. Sauers: Meade-Sickles Controversy, a.a.O., S. 10; Coddington: Gettysburg, a.a.O., S. 218-19; vgl. Stackpole: They Met at Gettysburg, a.a.O., S. 88). Erst als Butterfield am 3.7.1863 leicht verwundet wurde, wurde Meade's Wunschkandidat BrigGen A. A. Humphreys zum Stabschef ernannt (vgl. Stackpole: They Met at Gettysburg, a.a.O., S. 89).

1864 war Humphrey Chief of Staff in Meade's Army of the Potomac (Porter, Campaining with Grant, a.a.O., S. 68)

Ledoux: „Quite ready to be sent somewhere“. The Civil War Letters of Aldace Freeman Walker, a.a.O., S. 16 mit Anm. S. 21 Nr. 7).

22.3.1830 - † 20.9.1899 South Nyack, New York. Sohn von John S Hunsdon (1784 – 1833) und Susannah Turner Hunsdon (1799 – 1835). A Vermont State legislator in 1861 and 1862, he entered his Civil War service with a commission of Captain and commander of Company B, 1st Vermont Volunteer Heavy Artillery on August 13, 1862. His subsequent service saw him rise to Major (November 2, 1863) and Lieutenant Colonel (September 2, 1864) of the unit, and saw him assume command of the regiment when Colonel James M. Warner was elevated to brigade command. Colonel Hunsdon himself commanded a brigade (2nd Brigade, 2nd Division, VI Corps) from December 1864 to January 1865. When Colonel Warner was promoted to Brigadier General, that promotion allowed Charles Hunsdon to rise to full Colonel, which he did on May 23, 1865, after the conflict all but ended. The commander of the regiment for over 2 years, he was honorably mustered out with his men on June 24, 1865. After then end of the conflict he briefly returned to the Vermont State House in 1865, then embarked on a career as a Methodist clergyman and minister. He passed away in 1899 in South Nyack, New York at the age of 69 (vgl. http://www.findagrave.com, Abruf vom 6.10.2016).

Hunt, Henry Jackson:

US-MajGen; 1819-89; ++++ vgl. Boatner, a.a.O., S. 418 +++ Chief of Artillery of the Army of the Potomac. Hunt's hervorragender Einsatz der Artillerie in der Schlacht von Malvern Hill führte zur Niederlage Lee's in der letzten Schlacht der Seven-Days-Battle. Hunt kommandierte die US-Artillerie in den Schlachten von Fredericksburg und Gettysburg (vgl. Pfanz: Gettysburg: The Second Day, a.a.O., S. 443).

One of the greatest artillerymen of all times (vgl. Stackpole: Chancellorsville, a.a.O., S. 27), Hunt was a classmate of Halleck and a contemporary of Hooker during West Point cadet days in the latter half of the 1830's, Hunt had served as an artillery commander with great distinction in every battle of the Mexican War, during which he was brevetted successively captain and major. In the half-dozen years immediately prior to the Civil war, he played a leading part in the untiring and highly successful efforts of a small group of officers to improve the artillery arm of the service, particularly the light artillery. To his vigor and initiative more than to any other single factor may be attributed the tactical and battle excellence of the Union artillery during the war (vgl. Stackpole: Chancellorsville, a.a.O., S. 27).

McClellan and Burnside had the intelligence or wit to recognize Hunt's competence and allow him complete freedom of action in his command of the army artillery. Not so Joe Hooker, himself an artillery officer until he attained command of a division. When Hooker was placed at the head of the army of the Potomac he withdrew the command authority from Hunt, leaving him only administrative responsibilities, although still Chief of Artillery. To make matters worse, artillery officers were promoted and reassigned, without adequate replacement, until only five officers of field grade remained to direct the action of almost 10.000 artillerymen manning 412 guns for the Chancellorsville campaign. Moreover, because of the scarcity of artillery officers of the lower grades the five field officers were left with insufficient staffs. During the maneuvering before the Battle of Chancellorsville, Hooker for some unexplained reasons kept Hunt on the north bank of the river, wasting his time and skill on administrative duties that properly belonged to a staff officer. Hooker's inexcusable failure to restore tactical control of the artillery to his Chief of Artillery until the second day of the battle resulted in many guns being left behind without Hunt's knowledge, but deprived the Army of the Potomac of his proven talents at a time when a more effective employment of the artillery might have changed the entire complexion of the battle. It must be concluded from the record that General Hooker, nominally at least an artilleryman, must have had a very inadequate appreciation of the value and capabilities of that arm, or he believed that he could employ the artillery to better advantage under own control as army commander (vgl. Stackpole: Chancellorsville, a.a.O., S. 28-29).

BrigGen Henry J. Hunt, der Kommandeur der Artillerie der Army of the Potomac unter Gen. Hooker, beschrieb die ungenügende Gliederung der Army of the Potomac, insb. in der Schlacht von Chancellorsville. Er vertrat die Ansicht, daß die Gliederung in 7 Corps falsch war, die Corps deshalb zu klein waren und zu viele Offiziere und Stäbe benötigten (vgl. Pfanz: Gettysburg: The First Day, a.a.O., S. 5).

Gen Meade, der in den Morgenstunden des 2.7.1863 nach Gettysburg gelangt war und noch vor der Morgendämmerung die Erkundung der Stellungen vorgenommen hatte, beauftragte Hunt, nach Tagesanbruch die Verteidigungslinien nochmals zu überprüfen und sicher zu stellen, daß die Artillerie Schußfeld hatte. Hunt visited Sickles at the Peach Orchard shortly after 11:00 a.m.; he declined to endorse Sickles' proposed movement. Part of his objection was because the woods west of the Emmitsburg Road were not under Union control. Hunt said it was he who advised Sickles to reconnoiter the woods before making any additional movements (vgl. Hessler: Sickles at Gettysburg, a.a.O., S. 123).

Hunt, T. G.:

CS-Col, 5th Louisiana Infantry; Während McClellan's Peninsular Campaign eingesetzt bei Dam Nr. 1 am 16.4.1862 (vgl. Confederate Military History, a.a.O., vol. X, S. 211).

Hunt, Thomas H.:

CS-Col; vor Kriegsausbruch war Hunt Col und Regimentskommandeur in Simon Bolivar *Buckner's Kentucky Militia (vgl. Davis: Orphan Brigade, a.a.O., S. 8); Regimentskommandeur 9th Kentucky Infantry (vgl. Davis: Jackman Diary, a.a.O., S. 20); das Regiment wurde bei seiner Aufstellung zunächst als 5th Kentucky Infantry bezeichnet; da zu gleichen Zeit in East-Tennessee ein weiteres Regiment als 5th Kentucky Infantry aufgestellt worden war, erfolgte eine neue Numerierung, bei der Hunt's Regiment als 9th Kentucky Infantry bezeichnet wurde (vgl. Davis: Jackman Diary, a.a.O., S. 11). Hunt schied nach Ablauf der 3jährigen Dienstzeit aus am 22.4.1863 (vgl. Davis, a.a.O., S. 20 Anm. 19).

Im Frühjahr 1862 und im Battle of Shiloh gehörte die 5th Kentucky Infantry zur 1st Brigade Col Robert Trabue IV. Reserve Corps BrigGen John C. Breckenridge in A. S. Johnston’s Army of the Mississippi (vgl. Grant: The Opposing Forces at Shiloh; in: B&L I 539).

Hunt resigned 1863 als Col. der 9th Kentucky Infantry (vgl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9th_Kentucky_Infantry)

Hunter, Charles:

US-+++++; Kommandant der USS Montgomery, im Juli 1862 eingesetzt zur Blockade der Mündung des Rio Grande (vgl. OR Navies Ser I Vol 19 S. 75).

Hunter, David:

US-MajGen; 1802-86, geboren in Washington DC (nach Mosby: Memoirs, Bl. 19 jedoch aus alter Virginia Familie; nach Chambersburg [ed.]: "Southern Revenge", a.a.O., S. 93 aus alter Shenandoah Familie); im April 1861 war Hunter Major der US-Army (vgl. Burlingame/Ettlinger: Inside Lincoln's White House. The Complete Civil War Diary of John Hay, a.a.O., S. 1); +++Hunter kommandierte als Col. bei 1st Bull Run die führende Division bei Sudley; dort schwer verwundet. +++

Im November 1861 war Hunter als Nachfolger Frémonts Kommandeur des US Militärbezirks Missouri (vgl. Miles: A River unvexed, S. 6; Pope: Military Memoirs, a.a.O., S. 12; Shea / Hess: Pea Ridge, a.a.O., S. 2), wurde jedoch wenige Tage nach seinem Eintreffen in St. Louis aufgrund einer Anregung von LtGen Winfield Scott durch General Henry W. Halleck ersetzt (Pope: Military Memoirs, a.a.O., S. 13; aA Anm. a.a.O., S. 248 Anm. 21 wonach die Beförderung Halleck's durch MajGen McClellan als Kompensation dafür erfolgte, daß nicht Halleck sondern McClellan als Nachfolger Winfields Scott's "Commander in Chief" wurde).

Hunter wurde nach der Ablösung Siegels nach der Schlacht von New Market / Shenandoah vom 14.5.1864, dessen Nachfolger im Shenandoahtal. Dort kam es zu Übergriffen gegen die Zivilbevölkerung, u.a. zum Niederbrennen des Hauses von Virginia-Gouverneur *Letcher; aus Rache hierfür brannten CS-Truppen während Early's Raid and Operations against the B&O Railroad [June-August 1864] vor Washington das Haus von US-Postminister Montgomery Blair nieder (vgl. Welles, Diary II 76, dem von Hunter's Aktionen am Shenandoah nichts bekannt ist, und diese auf eigenes Handeln von Strolchen ohne Befehl Hunter's zurückführt).

Hunter stammte aus alteingesessener Familie Virginias, zeigt jedoch keine Vorliebe für diesen Staat. Er war mit Präsident Lincoln persönlich bekannt und deshalb von diesem gebeten, nach der Wahl 1860 den neu gewählten Präsidenten auf seiner Zugreise nach Washington zur Amtsübernahme zu begleiten (Pope: Military Memoirs, a.a.O., S. 248 Anm. 20). Hunter war persönlich mit Gen. John Pope befreundet.

Hunter stand nach dem Krieg dem Kriegsgericht vor, das Mrs. Surrat wegen Beihilfe zur Ermordung Präsident Lincolns verurteilte. Hunter war Präsident des Kriegsgerichts im Fall von MajGen John Fitz Porter.

Hunter endete durch Selbstmord (vgl. Mosby, Memoirs, a.a.O., S. 19).

Pope (Pope: Military Memoirs, a.a.O., S. 12) schildert Hunter als "highly esteemed by everybody, .... one of the most upright, earnest and honest men I ever knew, .... intensively patriotic and could not find no excuse for anyone who was not zealous and pronounced on the Union side."

Hunter (prüfen, ob derselbe) schlug dem US-Kabinett die Aufstellung einer Indianer-Brigade vor, worüber das US-Kabinett am 10.12.1861 beriet (vgl. Chase: Diary, a.a.O., vom. 10.12.1861 S. 50).

Hunter, Edward M.:

US-Offizier; Adjutant 2nd Wisconsin Infantry. Hunter war Anwalt aus Milwaukee, er war zuvor Privatsekretär von Governor William E. Barstow gewesen. Zwei Monate nach Kriegsbeginn fahnenflüchtig und von der Stammrolle des Regiments wegen unerlaubter Entfernung und Pflichtverletzung gestrichen (vgl. Gaff: If this is War, a.a.O., S. 25, 85).

Hunter, James M.:

US-Lieutenant, 63th Illinois Infantry (vgl. OR Navies Ser I Vol 19 S. 46); Kapitän des Panzerschiffs (Ram; Ramm-Schiff) *Queen of the West während des Durchbruchs des CS-Ironclad *CSS Arkansas aus dem Yazoo nach Vicksburg am 17.7.1862. (Anm.: die Rammboot-Flotille auf dem Mississippi unterstand damals der Army); Hunter wurde vom Kapitän der USS Tyler während des Feuergefechts mit der CSS Arkansas an der Mündung des Yazoo in den Mississippi beschuldigt, nicht in das Gefecht der unterlegenen USS Tyler und USS Carondelet mit der CSS Arkansas eingegriffen, sondern sich abgesetzt zu haben (vgl. OR Navies Ser I Vol 19 S. 39 und Schiffstagebuch der USS Tyler S. 40). Demgegenüber erwähnt Commander H. Walke, Kapitän der USS Carondelet, daß sich Hunter am Abwehrfeuer beteiligt hat, und erwähnt, ohne Hunter zu kritisieren, lediglich lobend das Verhalten der USS Tyler (vgl. OR Navies Ser I Vol 19 S. 41: Report von Commander Walke). Dagegen wird Lt. Hunter in einem Bericht des befehlshabenden Offiziers der US-Army Ram-Flotte, LtCol Ellet, an Secretary of War Stanton für sein Verhalten während unter persönlicher Führung von Ellet am 22.7.1862 unternommenen Ramm-Angriffs mit USS Queen of the West zugleich mit USS Essex auf die bei Vicksburg liegende CSS-Arkansas ausdrücklich lobend erwähnt (vgl. OR Navies Ser I Vol 19 S. 46).

Hunter, Robert Mercer Taliaferro:

CS-Politiker; 1809-87; aus Virginia; Rechtsanwalt; Abgeordneter im US Congress und Speaker of the House (vgl. Boatner, a.a.O., S. 419). Hunter war ein enger Verbündeter von John C. Calhoun und trat nicht nur entschieden für State Rights sondern auch für die Sklaverei ein (vgl. Boatner, a.a.O., S. 419). en des radikalen State Rights Politiker Hunter genötigt hatte (vgl. Nevins, Emergence of Lincoln, vol. I, a.a.O., S. 241). Im Januar 1861 liefen in Washington / DC Gerüchte um, wonach Hunter Präsident des Südens werden sollte (vgl. Davis: A Government of Our Own, a.a.O., S. 30). Hunter trat als US-Senator nach der Sezession zurück und war anschließend Abgeordneter im CS-Congress. Als Nachfolger von Robert *Toombs ab Juli 1861 CS-Secretary of State bis März 1862, anschließend CS-Senator für Virginia (vgl. Boatner, a.a.O., S. 419).

Hurd, Anson Dr.:

US-Surgeon; CO. F&S, 14th Regiment Indiana Infantry (vgl. National Park Soldiers M540 Roll 37). Am 23.7.1861 Hurd enlisted as an assistant surgeon in the 20th Regiment Indiana Infantry. Hurd was forced to retire early in January 1862 because of poor health. After recovery he joined the army again and was mustered in as surgeon in the 14th Regiment Indiana Infantry on 21.4.1862 (vgl. Frassanito: Antietam, a.a.O., S. 222). But health problems continued to plague him throughout the spring and summer of 1862. In July 1862 he was at Harrison's Landung/VA, suffering from rheumatism, asthma, piles, and chronic diarrhea. Treating himself for these ailments, he remained with the regiment and took part in the Maryland campaign that September. After the battle of Fredericksburg on 13.12.1862 he was forced to retire from the service for health problems (vgl. Frassanito: Antietam, a.a.O., S. 221).

„In his pension record, it is stated that Dr. Anson Hurd, as a regimental surgeon, initially accompanied the Fourteenth Indiana to the front lines, establishing a temporary field hospital in the vicinity of the Roulette Farm (Battle of Antietam) buildings. The advanced position proved to be a dangerous one, Hurd himself coming under fire. Sometimes, probably on either the afternoon of September 17 or on September 18, Dr. Hurd moved his operation back a mile and a quarter to the main division hospital previously established on the Smith farm“ (vgl. Frassanito: Antietam, a.a.O., S. 221).

22.9.1831 - † 28.7.1908; beerd. Grandview Cemetery, Chillicothe, Ross County/Ohio; S. v. Hooper Hurst und Elizabeth James Hurst; °° I mit Mary Clark Trimble Hurst (1839-1875); °° II mit Frederica H. Schutte Hurst (vgl. www.findagrave.com; Abruf vom 1.6.2016).

Samuel H. Hurst descended from one of the pioneer families of Ross county and was born in Union township, Ross county, September 22, 1831.After the usual educational routine in youth, he taught school a year or two and then entered the Ohio Wesleyan university, where he was graduated with the class of 1854, working his own way through college. After his graduation he resumed and continued for three years the occupation of teaching school. At the same time he devoted all his leisure hours to reading elementary works on the subject of law with a view to preparing himself for practice of that profession. During the winter of 1854-55 he was superintendent of schools at Jackson, Ohio, but continued his legal studies intermittently until his admission to the bar in 1858.He entered earnestly into this new work, devoted himself assiduously to the practice, and was speedily rewarded with public recognition. In 1859 he was elected city solicitor and this was followed in 1860 by election to the probate judgeship of Ross county. This career, so auspiciously begun, was interrupted by the startling events of 1861.A few months after the opening guns of the war were fired, Judge Hurst resigned his position on the bench and became captain of Company A, Seventy-third regiment Ohio volunteer infantry. In June, 1862, he was promoted to the rank of major of this regiment; served as such until the spring of 1864, was then promoted to the lieutenant-colonelcy, and in June of the same year received a commission as colonel. With this rank he commanded his regiment throughout the Atlanta campaign and Sherman's immortal "march to the sea," a military achievement which no soldier who participated in it will ever forget. In March, 1865, Colonel Hurst was brevetted brigadier-general and he was mustered out in the latter part of July, lacking forty days of having served four years. At the battle of New Hope Church Colonel Hurst was severely, and at first reported mortally, wounded by a gunshot in the head. At the conclusion of hostilities, he returned to his farm in Union township and engaged in fruit-growing, a business for which he developed both taste and adaptability. In 1869 he was appointed internal collector for his congressional district and served six years, still continuing his attention to fruit-growing, while residing at Chillicothe. General Hurst has been especially prominent and efficient in all matters relating to agriculture, especially the horticultural branch of that great industry. As a recognition of this fact, he was in 1886 appointed the first state dairy and food commissioner of Ohio and served eighteen months in that capacity, eventually resigning to accept the director-generalship of the Ohio Centennial exposition held at Columbus in 1888.For six years he was a valuable member of the State board of agriculture, acting as the special representative of the horticultural industry, though proving in every way a potential friend of the farmer. He was mayor of Chillicothe in 1861-2, and in January, 1900, was appointed postmaster of that city entering upon the duties of his office March 1, in the same year. Jan. 1, 1867, General Hurst was married to Mary C. Trimble, a native of Kentucky, who died in 1875 leaving four children, three of whom are living: Luther B., county treasurer of Ross county, Madge and Mary.In 1876, General Hurst married Mrs. Frederika Hanby, of Chillicothe, by whom he has two children, Edith and Carl W., the latter a clerk in the postoffice. General Hurst is a member of the Chillicothe post, Grand Army of the Republic, and a past department commander of the department of Ohio. As a public speaker he is well known throughout the entire State (Source: The County of Ross: a history of Ross County, Ohio - By Henry Holcomb Bennett - Published by S. A. Brant, Madison, Wis., 1902 - Page 529; vgl. www.findagrave com; Abruf vom 1.6.2016).

The results of the charge were reasonably successful, but probably not well advised, and devastating to the 7th Maine. Maj Hyde was very unhappy with Brigade commander Col Irwin, who ordered the charge on his own initiative, and who may have been drunk at the time. Major Hyde received the Medal of Honor for his part in the Battle. The remainder of the War: Soon after, Major Hyde was appointed Acting Inspector General of the Left Grand Division, Army of the Potomac. He was with General Sedgwick at Gettysburg and all the battles following in which the Sixth Corps was engaged. He was promoted to lieutenant-colonel, and remained with the Sixth Corps until his three years expired, at which time he was commissioned colonel of the First Maine Veteran Volunteers. He was present at Sayler's Creek and at the surrender of Lee (vgl. http://antietam.aotw.org/officers.php?officer_id=408).

After the War: In 1865 he mustered out of service and went into the iron business in Bath, his native town.
