Abbott, Joseph Carter:
15.7.1825 Concord, New Hampshire - † 8. Oktober1881 Wilmington, North Carolina; US-BrigGen; Abbott war Jurist, Journalist, Geschäftsmann und Politiker. Während des Sezessionskrieges diente er als Militär der Union Army; danach war er von 1868 bis 1871 republikanischer Senator für den Bundesstaat North Carolina (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Carter_Abbott).
Beim Ausbruch des Sezessionskriegs war Abbott in seiner Eigenschaft als Generaladjutant von New Hampshire im April 1861 als einer der Ersten bereit, Präsident Abraham Lincoln Truppen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Im Dezember 1861 wurde er Oberstleutnant des 7th New Hampshire Infantry Regiment (National Park Soldiers M549 Roll 1). Er beteiligte sich an den Schlachten von Port Royal (3.–7. November 1861), Fort Pulaski (10.–11. April 1862), St. Johns Bluff (1.–3. Oktober 1862) und Fort Wagner (18. Juli 1863). Im November 1863 wurde er Oberst des Regiments und führte es in der auf dem Boden Floridas ausgetragenen Schlacht von Olustee (20. Februar 1864) und während des Feldzugs von Bermuda Hundred (Mai 1864) in Virginia (http://de.wikipedia.Org/ wiki/Joseph_Carter_Abbott).
Während der ebenfalls in Virginia stattfindenden Belagerung von Petersburg (9. Juni 1864 bis 25. März 1865) kommandierte Abbott die 2. Brigade der 1. Division des X. Corps in der Schlacht bei Chaffin’s Farm (29.–30. September 1864) und den anschließenden Gefechten bei Darbytown und New Market Roads (7. Oktober 1864). Damals fand eine Reorganisation der James-Armee statt und Abbott befehligte die 2. Brigade der 2. Division des XXIV. Corps, das dem Fort Fisher-Expeditionskorps unter dem Brigadegeneral Alfred Terry angegliedert wurde und an der Zweiten Schlacht von Fort Fisher(13.–15. Januar 1865) und der Einnahme von Wilmington (11.–22. Februar 1865) in North Carolina teilnahm. Am 25. Januar 1865 schlug Präsident Lincoln Abbotts Erhebung zum Brevet-Brigadegeneral der Freiwilligen für seinen beherzten Einsatz bei der Eroberung von Fort Fisher vor, wobei diese Beförderung rückwirkend ab dem 15. Januar 1865 gelten sollte. Der Senat bestätigte diese Auszeichnung am 14. Februar 1865. In der Endphase des Kriegs war Abbott in Wilmington stationiert (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Carter_Abbott).

Abercrombie, John Joseph:
US-BrigGen; 4.3.1798 Baltimore City/Maryland - † 3.1.1877 Roslyn, NY (http://www.findagrave.com).
Abercrombie graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York in 1822, placing 37th of 40 (his classmates included future Union Generals J.K.F. Mansfield, David Hunter and George A. McCall, as well as future Confederate General Isaac R. Trimble). He then served in the United States Army continuously from his graduation to the Civil War, and was one of the oldest field-grade officers to serve on the battlefield in the conflict. He was on garrison duty in various posts within the South and Northwest, and fought in the Seminole and Mexican Wars. When the Civil War broke out, he was one of the few full-rank Colonels in the Regular Army, being in command of the 7th United States Regular Infantry regiment. On August 31, 1861 he was commissioned Brigadier General, US Volunteers and was assigned command of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, IV Corps in the Army of the Potomac. He led the brigade throughout the 1862 Peninsular Campaign, and was wounded at the Battle of Fair Oaks (Seven Pines). He was at the head of his brigade during the Battle of Malvern Hill (July 1, 1862), where his troops helped repulse the Confederate attack on the Union Army. After the conclusion of the Peninsular Campaign his command was given to younger officers, and he spent the balance of the war first in command of some of the defenses in Washington, DC, then various supply depots in Virginia during the 1864 Overland Campaign. On March 13, 1865 he was brevetted Brigadier General, US Regular Army in recognition of his long service, and he retired from active duty on June 12 of that year. Despite being retired, though, he served time on court-martial duty for the next 3 years. He died in 1877 in Long Island, and is interred under a monument that has his birth date incorrect (http://www.findagrave.com).

He enlisted at the start of the Civil War in the 1st Michigan Cavalry Regiment, being commissioned at age 24 as Captain and commander of Company I on August 21, 1861. He led his command in the Battles on the Spring of 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign and at the Second Battle of Bull Run, rising first to Major (September 2, 1862), then Lieutenant Colonel (November 3, 1862) of the regiment. A few months later, on January 22, 1863, he was transferred to the 9th Michigan Volunteer Cavalry to help recruit the new regiment, and serve as it's Lieutenant Colonel. The unit was mustered into Federal service in May 1863, and he participated the regiment's first field duty - the pursuit of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan's raiders in Kentucky and Ohio, in which he commanded a portion of his unit in the Battle at Bluffington Island, Ohio. After Morgan was captured, the unit joined with General Ambrose Burnside's forces in East Tennessee, where is engaged in continual scouting and skirmishing. On November 14, 1863 Lieutenant Colonel Acker was wounded at Bean's Station, Tennessee, and missed a large portion of his unit's subsequent service, but returned to lead it as a full Colonel in the Spring of 1864 (receiving his promotion on November 30, 1863). After helping to inflict a loss to the forces of General Morgan (who had escaped the Federals' hold) at Cynthiana, Kentucky, he continued to fight in lower Kentucky and Tennessee until October 1864, when the unit was detailed to General William T. Sherman's Army fighting in Georgia. He participated in the March to the Sea and the March up the Carolinas, where he finished out the war. He was brevetted Brigadier General, US Volunteers on March 13, 1865 for "gallant and soldierly conduct under all circumstances during the East Tennessee and Atlanta campaigns, especially at Morristown, East Tennessee in December 1863, at Bean Station, and for conspicuous gallantry at Cynthiana, in June 1864". After the war he became a successful Hotel Keeper, and died in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1879 (http://www.findagrave.com).

US-Botschafter in Großbritannien (1861-68) während des Bürgerkrieges, 1807-1886; Sohn des früheren Präsidenten John Quincy Adams, Vater von Charles Francis Adams jr. Adams served as the United States ambassador to Great Britain throughout the war, and his efforts there have been compared in importance to many military victories. Son and grandson of two former Presidents, Adams has shown some interest in a political career - having even run for Vice President in 1848 - but by background and temperament he was never that comfortable with the rough-and-ready ways of the young American democracy. As a moderate Republican opposed to slavery, however, Adams was needed by Lincoln, who put him in exactly the right post (even though Adams did not report being too impressed after their first and only meeting in April 1861). Adams had spent much of his youth in Europe, including two years in an English school, and his more cosmopolitan manner (he was as comfortable speaking French as English) allowed him to get on well with the British leaders.
Adams' primary goal was to make sure that England in particular, and Europe in general, did not give formal recognition to the Confederacy and certainly did not provide aid. This was no easy task, as there was considerable support among many British, especially among the influential, for the South's position - not for slavery as such but for the rights of a group of states to conduct their affairs as they saw fit.
Lincoln's minister to Great Britain, Adams faced a number of problems in keeping the Peace between the two great nations, but few where more volatile than the issue of the commerce raiders built or fitted out in Britain for the Confederate Navy. He kept his agents everywhere looking for such vessels before they put in sea, and even arranged for photographs to be taken so that the raiders might later be identified. But Adam proved quite unsuccessful in the early years of the war, and one raider after another eluded his grasp (Davis / Wiley, Photographic History, p. 135)
By his cautious, reasonable and sophisticated diplomacy, Adams managed to get Great Britain to observe the naval blockade that the Union had set up around the Southern ports. Meanwhile, Confederate agents in Britain were buying, building and outfitting ships, and Adams was frustrated in his early efforts to stop this. But by late 1862 he felt confident enough to lay down an ultimatum: either stop providing ships to the Confederacy or the North would engage in open warfare against British interests. The British government thereupon effectively stopped the activities of the Confederate agents. And to the extent that Adams helped to move Britain around to supporting the Union cause, he also helped to keep the rest of Europe in at least a neutral role.
After the war ended, Adams stayed on in England till the fall of 1868 and began the negotiations over Britain's reimbursing the US for losses inflicted on Northern commerce by the Confederate ships that had come out of England. Returning to the US, Adams then played a crucial role in the treaty and arbitration that settled these so called "Alabama claims".

Wounded hip at Malvern Hill and lung at Gettysburg. Paroled Appomattox in April 1865 (Krick: Lee's Colonels, p. 30).
James was a LtCol. in the 26th NC Regiment. Adams answered the call of duty to the South at twenty-three years of age serving as an officer for the 26th North Carolina. In the spring of 1861 Colonel Oscar Rand came into Holly Springs recruiting all the eligible men, youngest being 15 and the oldest being 55. Members of the 26th NC advanced as far as any other of the Confederate troops that took part in Pickett's Charge, and like the rest, they paid a terrible price for their bravery and determination. Only 90 soldiers from the 26th were able to make their way back to the Confederate lines on Seminary Ridge. The Battle of Gettysburg claimed 88 % of the regiment, the highest percentage of causalities for any regiment, North or South, in any battle. James T. Adams was wounded at Malvern Hill and seriously wounded at Gettysburg, he had the honor of paroling the Regiment at Appomattox. Of the 2,000 men serving in the 26th during the course of the war, only 131 were left to collect their paroles. In his civilian life after the war, James was one of twenty-five original board of trustees of the Holly Springs Academy in 1854.

Adams vertrat innerhalb der patriotischen Bewegung der 1770er Jahre den konservativ-aufklärerischen Flügel, der im Sinne von Montesquies 'De l'esprit des lois' die Regierungsgewalten und sozialen Kräfte sorgsam ausbalancieren wollte, während der radikal-republikanische Flügel besonderen Wert auf die Bürgerbeteiligung und die Kontrolle der Regierenden legte (Heideking, Geschichte der USA, p. 44) und die Idee eines lockeren Staatenbundes vertrat (Heideking, p. 72 ff.). .
Adams, John:
CS-BrigGen; 1.7.1825 Nashville/Tenn - † 30.11.1864, kia Battle of Franklin/Tenn.
Adams was an officer in the United States Army. USMA West Point 1845; dann 2nd Lieutenant of the First US Dragoons; Teilnahme am Mexican War und was brevetted for gallantry at the Battle of Santa Cruz de Rosales. Afterwards Service on the Indian frontier, rising to the rank of Captain. With the onset of the American Civil War, he resigned his commission and joined the Confederate States Army, rising to the rank of brigadier general before being killed in action (Encyclopedia of the Confederacy, Bd. 1, S. 1).
Adams was born in Nashville, Tennessee, to Irish immigrant parents. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1846, ranking 25th in his class. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the1st Dragoons, serving under Capt. Philip Kearny. Adams was brevettedfor gallantry during the Mexican-American War at the Battle of Santa Cruz de Rosales. After the war, Adams served on the western frontier, primarily in California. He was subsequently promoted to first lieutenantand captain. As a lieutenant colonel in the state militia, he was aide-de-camp to the Governor of Minnesota in 1853 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adam).
With the secession of Tennessee, Adams resigned his commission in the United States Army in early 1861 and joined the Confederate Army not long afterward as a captain in the cavalry. He was commissioned a colonel in 1862, and a brigadier general in December of that same year, replacing the late Lloyd Tilghman in charge of his brigade of infantry. Adams served entirely in the Western Theater and was commended in several official reports for his leadership. He was particularly conspicuous during the Atlanta Campaign, where he again displayed personal bravery as well as a talent for battlefield tactics. His brigade was selected to lead the advance of John Bell Hood's army into Tennessee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Adam).
Adams was killed at the Second Battle of Franklin in 1864, one of six Confederate generals to perish in the defeat. An Indiana colonel who witnessed his death later wrote:
„General Adams rode up to our works and, cheering his men, made an attempt to leap his horse over them. The horse fell upon the top of the embankment and the general was caught under him, pierced with [nine] bullets. As soon as the charge was repulsed, our men sprang over the works and lifted the horse, while others dragged the general from under him. He was perfectly conscious and knew his fate. He asked for water, as all dying men do in battle as the life-blood drips from the body. One of my men gave him a canteen of water, while another brought an armful of cotton from an old gin near by and made him a pillow. The general gallantly thanked them, and in answer to our expressions of sorrow at his sad fate, he said, 'It is the fate of a soldier to die for his country,' and expired“ (Confederate Veteran, June 1897).

He was also imprisoned at Macon, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina, where he and other officers were placed on Morris Island in an attempt to stop naval bombardment by the Union.

Adams, Nehemia:
Pastor der Congregational Church in Boston. Reverend Adams earlier provoked the wrath of abolitionists by publishing a mild, conciliatory work entitled "A South Side View of Slavery" following a brief visit to the South in 1854 (erschienen Boston, 1854). So vehement was the reaction of the northern press that Adams felt compelled to respond to these attacks by penning "The Sable Cloud", which appeared in 1861 (Ruffin, Diary II 21 Anm 11). Verheiratet mit Sarah Brackett (aus Mass.), die mehrere Jahre als Lehrerin bei den Eltern von Edward Porter *Alexander beschäftigt war (Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. 5, 7 und Anm. 4 S. 556); sie verbrachte aufgrund ihrer angegriffenen Gesundheit einen Winter in der 1850er Jahren auf der Plantage von Alexander's Eltern (Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. 7).
Am Ende der 1. Manuskript-Bandes von Edward P. Alexander's Erinnerungen befindet sich eine handschriftliche Anmerkung von Mary Clifford Alexander Hull zu Adams (Gallagher: Anm. zu: Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, Anm. 11 S. 557): "Dr. Adams's first book was A Southside View of Slavery. But afterwards he published another called 'The Sable Cloud,' & that opens with a letter from Sister H. to Mother, telling of the death of the child of her cook (Cora) & how she & he went to the cem. to select a lot to bury it. Father & M. were North & Dr. A. went to N.Y. to see them. He was shown this letter, not supposing it would be considered anything unusual. But after his return home he wrote & begged to be given the letter with permission to use it as he pleased - & he opens his book with it. He wrote after a visit to A.R.L.'s in SaV: IN 54: She (Sarah Brackett) died in Nov. 54. M.C.H."

Akerman, Amos T.:
CS-Pvt; Co. H., 3rd Regiment Georgia Cavalry (State Guards) (National Park Soldiers M226 Roll 1).
Akerman was a New Hampshire-born lawyer, long resident in Georgia, who had assumed the Attorney Generalship in mid-1870 (Foner: Reconstruction, p. 457)
23.2.1821 Portsmouth/New Hampshire - † 21.12.1880 Cartersville/Georgia, war ein US-amerikanischer Jurist und Politiker (Republikanische Partei), der dem Kabinett von US-Präsident Ulysses S. Grant als Justizminister angehörte. Akerman absolvierte zunächst ein allgemein bildendes Studium am Dartmouth College, das er 1842 mit einem Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) beendete. Nach einer mehrjährigen Tätigkeit als Lehrer und dem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften ließ er sich 1850 in Elberton (Georgia) als Rechtsanwalt nieder. Obwohl er ein Gegner der Sezessionsbewegung in den Südstaaten war, trat er nach dem Ausbruch des Bürgerkrieges in die Armee der Konföderierten Staaten ein, wo er hauptsächlich beim Quartiermeister diente, aber auch an einigen Schlachten teilnahm. Akerman, der sich zu einem Gegner der Sklaverei entwickelte, spielte 1868 als Mitglied der Verfassungsgebenden Versammlung von Georgia eine äußerst wichtige Rolle bei der so genannten Reconstruction, der Wiedereingliederungsphase der Südstaaten in die Union nach dem Bürgerkrieg von 1861 bis 1865. 1866 wurde er zum Bundesstaatsanwalt für den Bezirk von Georgia ernannt (wikipedia: Stichwort Amos T. Akerman, Abruf v. 5.3.2017).
Am 23. Juni 1870 berief ihn US-Präsident Ulysses S. Grant als Justizminister (Attorney General) in sein Kabinett, wo er auf Ebenezer R. Hoar folgte. In dieser Funktion oblagen ihm insbesondere Verfahren wegen des Crédit-Mobilier-Skandals, in den die Union Pacific Railroad verwickelt war, die deshalb Konkurs anmelden musste. Des Weiteren entwarf er die Ku-Klux-Acts, die nach deren Erlass die Terrorakte im Süden eindämmen sollten. Nach einem gescheiterten Versuch der US-Regierung, über den „Großen Hexenmeister“ Nathan Bedford Forrest die Ku-Klux-Klan-Mitglieder zur Räson zu bringen, löste jener den Klan 1871 offiziell auf. Doch bei der Auflösung wurde klar, wie gering die tatsächliche Macht des „Großen Hexenmeisters“ war: Nur in Arkansas und Tennessee wurde seinem Befehl Folge geleistet, vor allem in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi sowie North und South Carolina stieg das Ausmaß der Gewaltdelikte dagegen sogar an. Akerman war auch der erste Attorney General, der das durch Gesetz neu geschaffene Justizministerium (Department of Justice) leitete. Aus Protest gegen die aufkeimende Korruption in der Regierung von Präsident Grant trat er jedoch bereits am 13. Dezember 1871 als Attorney General zurück. Andererseits gab es wegen seiner negativen Haltung gegen den KKK auch Druck auf den Präsidenten, ihn als Justizminister abzulösen. Nach seinem Rücktritt zog er sich völlig aus dem politischen Leben zurück und war bis zu seinem Tod als Rechtsanwalt tätig. Sein Sohn Alexander war ebenfalls Bundesstaatsanwalt für den Bezirk von Georgia sowie Richter an einem Bundesbezirksgericht (wikipedia: Stichwort Amos T. Akerman, Abruf v. 5.3.2017).

Alcorn, James Lusk:
near Golcond / Illinois - † December 19, 1894 (aged 78) Friars Point, Mississippi.
CS-BrigGen (Mississippi State Troops; Allardice: More Generals in Gray, p. 17); Alcorn war Plantagenbesitzer in Mississippi; nach kurzer Dienstzeit bei den Mississippi State Troops zog er sich auf seine Plantage zurück; er war sehr eigennützig, schmuggelte Baumwolle nach Norden in die USA, machte hierbei große Gewinne, die er in Landkäufe und in US-Währung anlegte; in der Nachkriegszeit von März 1870 – 30.11.1871 Governor von Mississippi (Fomer: Reconstruction, p. 14; http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Lusk_Alcorn) und vom 1.12.1871 – 4.3.1877 US-Senator (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ James_ Lusk_Alcorn)
Born near Golconda, Illinois, to a Scots-Irish family, he attended Cumberland College in Kentucky and served as deputy sheriff of Livingston County, Kentucky, from 1839 to 1844. He served in the Kentucky House of Representatives in 1843 before moving to Mississippi. In 1844, he set up a law practice in Panola County, Mississippi. As his law practice flourished and his property holdings throughout the Mississippi Delta increased, he became a wealthy man. By 1860, he owned nearly a hundred slaves and held lands valued at a quarter of a million dollars. He was a leader of the Whig Party. He served in the Mississippi House of Representatives and Mississippi Senate during the 1840s and 1850s. He ran for Congress in 1856 but was defeated. (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ James_ Lusk_Alcorn)
As a delegate to the Mississippi convention of 1851, called by Democratic Governor John A. Quitman to build momentum for secession, Alcorn helped defeat that movement. Like many Whig planters, Alcorn initially opposed secession, pleading with the extremists to reflect for a moment on the realities of regional power. He foretold a horrific picture of a beaten South, "when the northern soldier would tread her cotton fields, when the slave should be made free and the proud Southerner stricken to the dust in his presence." (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ James_ Lusk_Alcorn).
When secession passed, Alcorn cast his lot with the Confederacy and was selected as a brigadier general by the state. During the American Civil War, he was in uniform for about 18 months of inconspicuous service, mainly in raising troops and in garrison duty. He was taken prisoner in Arkansas in 1862, was paroled late in the year, and returned to his plantation. In 1863, he was elected to the Mississippi state legislature. Alcorn lost both his sons, James Alcorn, Jr., and Henry Alcorn, to the war. J. L. Alcorn Jr. committed suicide in 1879 after returning home from the war partially deaf and a drunk (most likely due to what today would be diagnosed as PTSD).The monument on the "Mound," the location of the family cemetery at Alcorn's plantation, attributes James Lusk Alcorn, Jr's death to the „insane war of rebellion“ (undoubtedly Alcorn's words). Alcorn had a statue made of himself, and after his death it was put on the mound, on his grave. Henry "Hal" Alcorn ran away against his father's wishes during the war to join the military, fell sick, was left behind, and captured. He made his way to Richmond after the surrender and some family friends tried to help him get home, but he died on the way of typhoid fever. Alcorn managed to maintain his wealth during the Civil War by trading cotton with the North. After the war, he was estimated to be among the fifty wealthiest men in the New South (http:// en. wikipedia.org/wiki/ James_ Lusk_Alcorn).
He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1865, but, like all Southerners, was not allowed to take a seat as Congress was pondering Reconstruction. He supported suffrage for Freedmen and endorsed the Fourteenth Amendment. Alcorn became the leader of the Scalawags, who comprised about a fourth of the Republican Party officials in the state, in coalition with carpetbaggers, African-Americans who had been free before the outbreak of the civil war and Freedmen. Mississippi had a majority of African-Americans, the overwhelming majority of whom were Freedmen, who at this point had no desire to vote for the Democratic Party which would have not welcomed them anyway, thus the majority of votes for the Republican candidates came from African-Americans even though the majority of Republican office holders were whites. James Alcorn was elected by the Republicans as governor in 1869, serving, as Governor of Mississippi from 1870 to 1871. As a modernizer, he appointed many like-minded former Whigs, even if they were now Democrats. He strongly supported education, including public schools for blacks only, and a new college for them, now known as Alcorn State University. He maneuvered to make his ally, Hiram Revels, its president. Radical Republicans opposed Alcorn, angry at his patronage policy. One complained that Alcorn's policy was to see "the old civilization of the South modernized" rather than lead a total political, social and economic revolution (http:// en. wikipedia.org/wiki/ James_ Lusk_Alcorn).
Alcorn resigned the governorship to become a U.S. Senator (1871–1877), replacing his ally Hiram Revels, the first African American senator. Senator Alcorn urged the removal of the political disabilities of white southerners and rejected Radical Republican proposals to enforce social equality by federal legislation; he denounced the federal cotton tax as robbery, and defended separate schools for both races in Mississippi. Although a former slaveholder, he characterized slavery as "a cancer upon the body of the Nation" and expressed the gratification which he and many other Southerners felt over its destruction. Alcorn led a furious political battle with Senator Adelbert Ames, the carpetbagger who led the other faction of the Republican Party in Mississippi. The fight ripped apart the Republican Party. In 1873, they both sought a decision by running for governor. Ames was supported by the Radicals and most African Americans, while Alcorn won the votes of conservative whites and most of the scalawags. Ames won by a vote of 69,870 to 50,490. During the Reconstruction era, Alcorn was an advocate of modernizing the South. Although a believer in white supremacy, he supported civil and political rights for African-Americans. In a letter to his wife (Amelia Alcorn, née Glover, of Rosemount Plantation in southern Alabama), he states that Southerners must make the Negro their friend or "the path ahead will be red with blood and damp with tears." Alcorn was the founder of the Mississippi levee system, and was instrumental in their rebuilding after the Civil War. After his retirement from politics, he was active in levee affairs and was a delegate to the Mississippi constitutional convention of 1890, in which he supported the black disenfranchisement clause of the new constitution. He was twice married: in 1839 to Mary C. Stewart of Kentucky, who died in 1849; and in 1850 to Amelia Walton Glover of Alabama. In his later life, Alcorn practiced law in Friars Point, Mississippi and lived quietly at his plantation, Eagle's Nest, in Coahoma County, Mississippi, until his death and interment in the family cemetery on his estate in 1894 (http:// en. wikipedia.org/wiki/ James_ Lusk_Alcorn).

Alexander, Betty Mason:
Ehefrau von Edward Alexander *Porter (Gallagher; Introduction zu Porter: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. xvi); gestorben 20.11.1899 (Gallagher, p. xix).
Alexander, Edward Porter:
CS-BrigGen; 1835-1910; aus Washington / Georgia; Sohn von Adam Leopold Alexander und Sarah Hillhouse Gilbert; durch die Ehe seiner Eltern entstand ein bedeutender Seabord und Upcounty Clan (Gallagher: Anm. zu: Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. 4 und Anm. 4 S. 556); seine Schwäger waren CS-BrigGen Alexander Robert Lawton und CS-MajGen Jeremy Francis Gilmer; West Point (durch Vermittlung des Nachbarn und Parlamentsabgeordneten Robert A. *Toombs), graduated 1857 (3/38); nach Einsatz im Utah Territorium war Alexander 1859/60 Asst. Instructor of Engineering unter Prof. Mahan in West Point (Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. 4); 1859 bei der Entwicklung eines transportablen Telegraphen-Apparats für die Army von Albert James Myer (Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. 13, 37) als Assistent eingesetzt.
Nach der Sezession Georgias schied Alexander im Februar 1861 als First Lieutenant aus der US-Army aus und schloß sich als Captain of Engineers der CSA am 1.7.1861 an; ab Ende Juni 1861 Captain und Chief Signal Officer im Stab Beauregard's; Teilnahme 1st Manassas am 21.7.1861 (Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. 38; Gallagher, Gary W.: Introduction zu: Alexander: Military Memoirs, p. xx); Beauregard lobte Alexander's "Gusskokille management" des Signal Corps (OR, ser I., vol. 2:446). Von Sommer 1861 bis zum Ende der Maryland Campaign 1862 hatte Alexander den Posten des Chief Signal Officer und des Chief of Ordnance unter Beauregard, Joseph E. Johnston, und Robert E. Lee inne und war für die Versorgung der Army of Northern Virginia während der Peninsular Campaign, Seven Days, Second Manassas und Sharpsburg / Antietam verantwortlich. Major seit 18.4.1861 und LtCol seit 17.7.1862. Kommandeur des Reserve Battalions in James Longstreet's Corps seit Herbst 1862, bestehend aus 6 Batteries mit 26 Kanonen (Alexander, Edward Porter: Military Memoirs of a Confederate, p. 280, 281).
Beförderung zum Col am 3.3.1863.
On 30.4.1863 on the eve of the Battle of Chancellorsville, Alexander's artillery battalion was hurried from its winter quarters to brace the line of GenMaj Richard Anderson's Division on the left wing of Lee's army of Northern Virginia near Tabernakel Church (east of the hamlet Chancellorsville) on the Orange & Plank Road (Sears Chancellorsville, p. 175 with map p. 179).
Alexander kommandierte in Gettysburg als Colonel ein Battalion Artillerie in Longstreet's 1st Army Corps und übte faktisch die Position von Longstreet's taktischem Artilleriekommandeur aus, obwohl nominell die Artillerie von Longstreet's Corps Col. John B. *Walton unterstand; in dieser Funktion war er für die Ausschaltung der US-Artillerie während Pickett's Charge am 3.7.1863 verantwortlich (Longacre: Pickett, p. 119-121; Longstreet: Lee's Right Wing at Gettysburg; in Battles and Leaders Vol III S. 343; (Gallagher, Gary W.: Introduction zu: Alexander: Military Memoirs, p. xxi). Nach Ansicht Gallagher's (Gallagher, Gary W.: Introduction zu: Alexander: Military Memoirs, S. xxi) übte E.P. Alexander lediglich faktisch die Position von Longstreet's taktischem Artilleriekommandeur aus, obwohl nominell die Artillerie von Longstreet's Corps Col. John B. *Walton unterstand. Longstreet in Gen Lee's presence told Alexander on 2.7.1863, that Alexander would be the tactical commander of the First Corps Artillery (Pfanz: Gettysburg Second Day, p. 116).
Offensichtlich war Walton als Chief of Artillery of Longstreet's Corps von Longstreet nicht geschätzt, weshalb er in der Schlacht von Gettysburg durch E. P. Alexander ersetzt wurde, der auf Befehl Longstreet's an Stelle Walton's die Artillerie während Pickett's Charge befehligte (Stewart: Pickett's Charge, p. 2; Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, p. 235). Diese für alle Beteiligten unbefriedigenden Kommandoverhältnisse endeten erst am 18.4.1864 mit der Beförderung Alexander's zum BrigGen und der Ablösung von Walton (Gallagher, Gary W.: Introduction zu: Alexander: Military Memoirs, p. xxi; die diesbezügliche Nachkriegskorrespondenz zwischen Longstreet und seinem Freund Walton ist veröffentlicht bei Southern Historical Society Papers, vol 5:47-53).
Alexander war ein selbständiger und wohl auch unbequemer Untergebener. Porter (Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, S. 167) schildert eine Diskussion mit Lee, der Alexander's Artilleriestellungen um Marye's Heights kritisierte, die nach Lee's Ansicht weiter hinten postiert werden sollten. Alexander und Capt. Samuel *Johnston hatten, um einen Einsatz auf kurze Entfernung auf die "Sunken Road" zu ermöglichen, die Stellungen vorne am Abbruch des Hügels vorbereitet. Lee's Befehl hätte zur Folge gehabt, daß die dort eingesetzte Artillerie im Zentrum von Burnside's härtestem Angriff zwischen Fredericksburg und der "Sunken Road" mangels Schußfeld auf den entscheidenden Frontabschnitt nicht zum Einsatz gekommen wäre. Da Alexander den Befehl verweigerte und die Artillerie in den Stellungen vorne beließ, konnte diese im Zentrum der Kämpfe entscheidend eingreifen (Alexander: Fighting for the Confederacy, S. 168).

(Anm. zum Buchtitel: Alexander bezeichnete sein Werk auf der ersten Seite des Manuskripts mit "Personal Recollections...", dann strich er den Arbeitstitel durch und ersetzte diesen durch "Fighting for the Confederacy" [ Gallagher (ed.); in Alexander, Anm. 7 S. 554]; Alexander schrieb die Aufzeichnungen während seines Aufenthalts als amerikanischer Gesandter in Greytown, Nicaragua 1897-99. Die Aufzeichnungen waren nur für die eigene Familie und nicht für eine Veröffentlichung bestimmt (Gallagher, Gary W.: Introduction zu: Alexander: Military Memoirs, p. xxii; Edward Porter Alexander to Louise Alexander Gilmer, July 2, October 2, 1899, folder 4, Minis Family Papers, Southern Historical Collection, Wilson Library, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina). Das Manuskript wurde mehrere Jahre vor "Military Memoirs of a Confederate" geschrieben und wurde erst nach ca 80 Jahren entdeckt [Gallagher, Introduction zu Alexander: Fighting, p. xiv]); zu den Unterschieden zwischen "Fighting for the Confederacy" und "Military Memoirs" Gallagher, Introduction zu Alexander: Fighting, p. xx; Gallagher: Introduction zu "Military Memoirs", p. xxiii). Eine kritische Betrachtung des Greytown Manuskripts über die Aufzeichnungen und die Tendenz der Historiker zur Vermischung mit Kapiteln aus "Military Memoirs" befindet sich bei Gallagher, Introduction zu Alexander: Fighting, p. xiii-xxiii
- **Alexander, Edward Porter: Military Memoirs of a Confederate: A Critical Narrative (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1907; Reprint Da Capo Press, 1993). Das Werk basiert auf dem Greytown Manuskript (veröffentlicht als "Fighting for the Confederacy") und wurde von Alexander nach dem Tod seiner Frau 1899 begonnen. Das Werk unterscheidet sich in mehrfacher Hinsicht von den Ausgangsaufzeichnungen: es sind alle persönlichen Anekdoten verschwunden, Alexander reduziert kritische Bemerkungen zu Freunden und Feinden und fügt Kapitel über Kampagnen an, an denen er selbst nicht teilnahm. Insgesamt entfernt Alexander ein Drittel des Ausgangsmaterials (Gallagher: Introduction zu Alexander: "Military Memoirs", p. xxiii-xxiv). Das Buch ist eines der besten und unparteilichsten unter den Veröffentlichungen der Kriegsveteranen. Douglas Freeman stützte sich bei seinen Werken über Robert E. Lee weitgehend auf Alexander (Gallagher, Introduction zu Alexander: "Military Memoirs", p. xxiv).

Allen, Eleazer:
US-Pvt; Co. K 145th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry (National Park Soldiers M554 Roll 2).
1809 Hebron, Washington County, New York - † 14.9.1863 Annapolis/Maryland, buried Annapolis National Cemetery, Plot 2002 (www.findagrave, Abruf v. 6.4.2018). Son of Charles B. Allen (1773-1853) and Mary Allen (1783-1837); Brother of Pvt William Allen (Co. C, 123rd New York Infantry) (www.findagrave, Abruf v. 6.4.2018).
Eleazer Allen was born in Hebron, Washington County, New York about 1809. After he moved to Erie PA and was 52 years old, he enlisted in the US Army as a Private in the 145th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. Dedication to service must have been high on his list because he left his pregnant wife alone with two young boys and a daughter from Eleazer's previous marriage. After his unit performed picket duty on the C&O Canal and then buried the dead from the battle of Antietam, he fought in the December 1862 battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia where his unit was repulsed with great losses at the wall at Maryes Heights (91 killed or died of their wounds, 152 wounded and 43 captured or listed as missing). Nearly 5 months later, Eleazer was captured on May 3, 1863 during the battle of Chancellorsville along with his unit's executive officer and several others. The prisoners were then consolidated with other captives and held in railroad box cars at Guiney Station. (Note: Stonewall Jackson lay dying in a house nearby). After much useless railroad shunting during a harsh 3-day storm, the prisoners were finally marched by foot via Bowling Green to Milford Station where they waded across the Mattaponi River. The group finally reached Libby Prison in Richmond on the 9th day. After a day at Libby Prison, Eleazer was transferred to Belle Island Prison Camp where he was paroled. Eleazer was then transferred by steam ship from City Point, near Richmond, via Fort Monroe (Old Point Comfort) to Camp Parole in Annapolis Maryland to wait for a prisoner exchange allowing for his return to front line service. While working construction at the hospital, Private Allen contracted Typhoid Fever and died Sept 14, 1863. He was buried the same day in the rear of Ashgrove Cemetery, which following President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, became the Annapolis National Cemetery. Due to a clerical error by a new company clerk while Eleazer was a prisoner, his name was forever changed in the post war Army rolls from Eleazer to Eleaser (www.findagrave, Abruf v. 6.4.2018).

Allen, Robert:
US-BrigGen; 15.3.1811 West Point/Ohio - † 5.8.1886 Schweiz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Allen). Im Herbst 1862 war Major Allen verantwortlicher Quartermaster-Officer im großen Depot St. Louis (Bearss: Vicksburg Campaign, vol I S. 65).
Allen was born in tiny West Point in Columbiana County, Ohio, and was educated in the public schools. He received an appointment to the United States Military Academy and graduated in 1836, ranking 33rd out of 49 cadets. He was assigned as a second lieutenant in the 2nd U.S. Artillery and assigned to garrison duty in various outposts. He saw his first combat during the Mexican-American War, where he received a brevet promotion to major for his actions at the Battle of Cerro Gordo. Allen was transferred to the Quartermaster's Department, and was eventually promoted to the chief quartermaster at Benicia, California, for the Department of the Pacific with the permanent rank of major (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Allen).
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Allen was reassigned to the Department of the Missouri, where he was again chief quartermaster, as well as a colonel. Becoming recognized for his efficiency, he was soon promoted to command the supplies for the entire Mississippi Valley. From his headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, Allen supervised the Federal supplies for all the region's major campaigns, including Vicksburg and Atlanta. He was able to secure a wide variety of surplus railcars from various Northern railroads and arranged to have them ferried across the Ohio River from Jeffersonville, Indiana, and used for military purposes to transport food and supplies to the field armies along former Confederate railways. As a result of his performance, he was promoted to brigadier general and given command all quartermaster operations west of the Mississippi River, except for California. Allen ranked only behind Quartermaster General Montgomery C. Meigs (a fellow USMA 1836 graduate) in terms of responsibility and influence. His efficiency in large scale logistics helped ensure that the Federal armies in his theater of war were much better equipped and fed than their Confederate opponents. On January 16, 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated Allen for the award of the brevet grade of major general to rank from March 13, 1865 and the U.S. Senate confirmed the award on March 12, 1866.[1] On July 17, 1866, President Johnson nominated Allen for the award of the brevet grade of major general, U.S. Army, also to rank from March 13, 1865, and the U.S. Senate confirmed the award on July 23, 1866.[2] He was mustered out of the volunteer service on September 1, 1866 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Allen).

A native of Germany, he was one of many foreign-born St. Louisians whose prior military experience was called upon in the early days of the Civil War. He received his training in the United States, and served as a Lieutenant in the St. Louis region in 1846. The following year he entered the United States Army as a Lieutenant, serving with the 2nd and 12th United States Regular Infantry regiments during the Mexican War (www.findagrave.com).

26.2.1833 Charleston, SC - † 16.1.1900 Winnsboro, Fairfield County / SC; Son of Robert Francis Withers Allston (1801-1864) and Adele Petigru Allston (1810-1896) (www.findagrave.com, Abruf v. 6.4.2018).

Allstrom, John V.:
auch Alstrom (Rosengarten: The German Soldiers, p. 163). Die Angabe bei Rosengarten, Allstrom sei Deutscher gewesen, erscheint zweifelhaft. Der Name deutet eher auf schwedische Herkunft.
US-Major; zunächst Second Lieutenant und später Captain Co G, 14th Regiment New Jersey Infantry (National Park Soldiers M550 Roll 1); dann Major Co. F&S, 3rd Regiment New Jersey Cavalry (National Park Soldiers M550 Roll 1).
Allstrom was born in 1832. A resident of the town of Shrewsbury, NJ in Monmouth County, he had become well-known locally as accomplished musician by the time of the Civil War. When the war began, he did not enlist in the army, but formed a militia company he called the Allstrom Light Guard (one of the company's members was Samuel T. Sleeper of Shrewsbury, who later became captain of Company I, 11th Regt., NJ Vols. Sleeper was killed in action at Spotsylvania, May 12, 1864). Needless to say, Allstrom was the unit's captain. They served with the Monmouth and Ocean Brigade of the NJ Militia. Allstrom seems to have trained his militiamen well. A January 2, 1862 article in the "Monmouth Democrat" newspaper of Freehold detailing a New Year's Day militia muster in Freehold states "...we wish to call the mention of amateur soldiers to the commands of Capt's. Forman, Stagg, and Allstrom, all new companies, but all of them giving the best evidence by their performance here that officers and men alike understand their duty and live up to it." (http://3rdnjcavalry.com/AllstromJohn.html)
In July 1862, Allstrom organized and took command of Company G, 14th Regiment, NJ Vols., a company recruited entirely in Monmouth County.
Allstrom seems to have been eager for advancement, as the Monmouth County Historical Association's Subjects Alphabetical Collection 98 contains a December 1862 letter from NJ
Governor-elect Joel Parker to Allstrom apparently written in reply to Allstrom's request for information on what Parker's policy on promotions would be (Parker declined to comment until
after he'd been inaugurated). Allstrom served with the 14th NJ on garrison duty near Frederick, MD, protecting the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge over the Monocacy River from
September 1862 to July 1863, when the 14th Reg't. was assigned to the III Corps of the Army of the Potomac. The 14th became part of the Army of the Potomac's 3rd Division, VI Corps in March
1864, but Allstrom would not remain with the 14th much longer. His campaign for promotion paid off on May 6, 1864, when he was appointed major of the 3rd NJ Cav. He served with the
"Butterflies" until the end of the was. Following the war, he resumed his career in music,opening up the Allstrom and Company Academy of Music in Red Bank, NJ. The building that
the Academy occupied still stands today at the southwest corner of the intersection of White and Broad Streets in Red Bank (it currently houses the Royal Box Gift
Shop). Allstrom
eventually passed his business on to his brother, Harold. John V. Allstrom died on August 3, 1906 and was laid to rest in Glenwood Cemetery, West Long Branch, NJ. (The
Monmouth County Historical Association's Photographic Collection contains two images of Allstrom taken during his service with the 14th NJ.)

Alvord, Benjamin:
US-+++Gen; 18.8.1813 Rutland/Vermont - † 16.10.1884 Washington/DC; Alvord was born in Rutland, Vermont, where he developed an interest in nature. He attended the United States Military Academy West Point and displayed a talent in mathematics. He graduated in 1833. He was assigned to the U.S. 4th Infantry Regiment and participated in the Seminole Wars. He returned to West Point as an assistant professor of mathematics until 1839, when he was again assigned to the 4th Infantry. He spent 21 years of his military career with that regiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Alvord).
He was on frontier, garrison, and engineer duty until 1846, when he participated in the military occupation of the new state of Texas. Subsequently, he served during the Mexican–American War, being brevetted successively to captain and major for gallantry in a number of important battles including the Battle of Palo Alto and the Battle of Resaca de la Palma. He served as chief of staff to Major Lally's column on the march from Vera Cruz to Mexico City in 1847 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Alvord).
He was married in 1846 and had six children. His son, Benjamin Alvord, Jr., became a soldier and was a general in World War I. His daughter Louise married Thomas Craig, one of the main professors of mathematics at Johns Hopkins University during its first two decades (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Alvord).
After the Mexican–American War, he went from line to staff when he was named paymaster and promoted to major. He was assigned to various posts and was sent with the 4th Infantry to the West Coast. He was the engineer in charge of building the military road in southern Oregon. He was then chief paymaster in Oregon from 1854 until 1862. From 1862 to 1865, during the American Civil War, Alvord was at Fort Vancouver as the commander of the District of Oregon with the rank of brigadier general of volunteers. He was named to that post by George Wright, the commanding officer of the Department of the Pacific. Wright wanted an experienced Regular Army officer in that post, rather than a volunteer, since the District was large (encompassing the present-day states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho), underdeveloped, and had a history of friction between the native peoples and settlers. As commander of the District, Alvord built up the defenses around the mouth of the Columbia River, but was unable to do the same for the Puget Sound. Because of low enlistments from Oregon and Washington, he supported the military draft, and failing that, supported the payment of bounties. He was removed from command in March 1865. He was ordered to the East Coast, where he resigned his volunteer commission and became paymaster in New York City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Alvord).
After the war, he subsequently became paymaster of the District of Omaha and paymaster of the Department of the Platte. He became Paymaster General of the Army in 1872 and served in that capacity until his retirement from active service in 1880. He was promoted to brigadier general in 1876. Alvord wrote several books and essays on mathematics, and became nationally known as an expert in the field. His most famous mathematical writings were on the tangencies and intersections of circles and spheres. He also wrote on natural history, writing the first scientific description of the ability of the compass plant (Silphium laciniatum) to orient itself in a north-south direction, as well as writing about winter grazing in the Rocky Mountains. Alvord was a contributor to Harper's Magazine, and a member of the Literary Society of Washington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Alvord).

Ames, Aaron S.:
US-Captain, 6th Regiment Iowa Cavalry Co. L.; 30.12.1827 Chittenden County / Vermont - † 17.1.1917 New York; Sohn von William Ames und Polly Brownell; At the outbreak of the Civil war, he recruited Co. L, Sixth Iowa Cavalry, and was mustered in as its captain, at Davenport. He served two years and nine months, and saw much active service on the Northwestern frontier against the Indians. In one engagement he was thrown from his horse, causing a rupture from which he has never fully recovered. He was mustered out at Sioux City, and returned to his home in Illinois, but shortly afterward he again came to McGregor and again engaged in the mercantile business. From McGregor he went to Cresco, Iowa. From there, in 1872, he came to Wright county and located on a place of 130 acres, one half mile north of the village of Rockford. This was wild land, and no improvements had been made thereon. Mr. Ames broke the land, erected modern buildings and successfully farmed until 1901, when he retired and moved to Buffalo. He is a member of the G.A.R. Post, and while in the township served as town clerk and town assessor. Mr. Ames was married at McGregor, Iowa, in 1866, to Sarah Forsythe, born in Waddington, N.Y., May 29, 1843, daughter of John and Mary (Mathews) Forsythe. Mr. and Mrs. Ames have four children.

Ames, Adelbert:
US-MajGen; 31. Oktober 1835 in Rockland, Knox County, Maine; † 12. April 1933 in Ormond Beac / Florida.
Ames Brigade war im Battle von Brandy Station am 9.6.1863 zur Verstärkung von Pleasonton's Cavalry Corps eingesetzt (Starr: The Union Cavalry, vol. I, S. 372).
Nach kurzer Zeit auf See besuchte Ames die US-Militärakademie in West Point, New Yorkund schloss 1861 als Fünfter von 45 seiner Klasse ab. Ames wurde am 6. Mai 1861 als Leutnant zum 2. US-Artillerie-Regiment versetzt. Mit seiner Batterie nahm er an der Ersten Schlacht am Bull Run teil, bei der er verwundet wurde. Trotz der Verwundung kämpfte er weiter und erhielt dafür als Anerkennung 1893 die Medal of Honor. Während des Halbinsel-Feldzuges im Frühjahr 1862 kämpfte er bei der Belagerung von Yorktown, bei Gaines Mill und am Malvern Hill. Für die dabei gezeigten Leistungen schlug ihn der Artilleriekommandeur der Potomac-Armee, Oberst Henry J. Hunt, zur Beförderung zum Brevet-Oberstleutnant vor, die am 1. Juli 1862 erfolgte (wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelbert_Ames, Abruf 7.10.2016).
Er erhielt die Medal of Honor als First Lt für seinen Einsatz im Battle of Bull Run am 21.7.1861: Artillery commander who stayed with his battery despite grave wounds. Zugleich wurde er für seinen Einsatz zum Major befördert mit Rang zum 21.7.1861.
Ames war klar, dass er nur als Infanterieoffizier schnell aufsteigen konnte. Deshalb kehrte er nach Maine zurück, um sich als Kommandeur eines Infanterieregiments zu bewerben. Am 20. August 1862 übernahm er das Kommando über das neu aufgestellte 20th Regiment Maine Infantry. Sein Stellvertreter wurde Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (wikipedia, keyword 'Adelbert Ames'; Chamberlain: Bayonet Forward, p. 6, 11, 12; Desjardin: Stand Firm, p. 3).
Das Regiment kämpfte im Maryland-Feldzug 1862, wurde jedoch in der Schlacht am Antietam in Reserve gehalten. In der Schlacht von Fredericksburg führte Ames sein Regiment gegen die konföderierten Stellungen auf den Marye's Heights westlich der Stadt. Während der Schlacht bei Chancellorsville im Mai 1863 diente Ames als Adjutant im Stab von Generalmajor George Meade, des Kommandierenden Generals des V. Korps der Potomac-Armee. Während dieser Zeit führte Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain das Regiment, das jedoch nicht aktiv an der Schlacht teilnahm. Zwei Wochen nach Chancellorsville wurde Adelbert Ames zum Brigadegeneral der Freiwilligen befördert und erhielt das Kommando über eine Brigade im XI. Korps. Diese führte er in die Schlacht von Gettysburg, in der sein ehemaliges Regiment unter Führung des jetzt zum Obersten beförderten Chamberlain zu Ruhm kam. Ames’ Brigade (2nd Brigade, 1st Division Barlow, XI Corps [Gottfried: Brigades of Gettysburg, p. 311-317] selbst, die der Division Brigadegeneral Francis Channing Barlows unterstellt war, kämpfte am ersten Tag der Schlacht gegen konföderierte Truppen unter Generalleutnant Richard Stoddert Ewell, die die Brigade in die Flucht schlugen. Während der Kämpfe wurde Barlow verwundet und Ames übernahm das Kommando über die Division, die sich am Cemetery Hill neu formierte. Nach Gettysburg wurde Ames’, wieder Brigadekommandeur und zum Brevet-Oberst der Regulären befördert, in den Wehrbereich Süd (South Carolina und Florida) versetzt. Er nahm an Kämpfen in South Carolina und Florida teil. Als Divisionskommandeur wurde seine Division 1864 dem X. Korps der James-Armee unter Generalmajor Benjamin Franklin Butler unterstellt und nahm an den Kämpfen auf der Bermuda Hundred-Halbinsel und an der Belagerung von Petersburg teil. Butler wurde später sein Schwiegervater. Im Winter 1864 wurde die Division dem XXIV. Korps unterstellt und nach North Carolina geschickt. Dort kämpfte sie in der Schlacht von Fort Fisher, wofür Ames als Anerkennung für seine Leistungen zum Brevet-Generalmajor der Freiwilligen und Brevet-Brigadegeneral des regulären Heeres befördert wurde (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelbert_ Ames).
Ames wurde 1868 zum provisorischen Gouverneur von Mississippi ernannt, dann zum Befehlshaber des 4. Militärdistrikts (Fourth Military District), der aus Mississippi und Arkansas bestand. Von 1870 bis 1874 war er republikanischer US-Senator für Mississippi.
Ames heiratete 1870 Blanche Butler, die Tochter General Benjamin Butlers, seines ehemaligen Oberbefehlshabers. Das Paar hatte sechs Kinder, darunter den Wissenschaftler Adelbert Ames Jr. (19. August 1880 – 3. Juli 1955), der Erfolge in Physik, Physiologie, Ophthalmologie, Psychologie und Philosophie erzielte. 1874 wurde Ames zum Gouverneur von Mississippi gewählt und gab darauf seinen Senatorenposten auf. Das Amt hatte er bis 1876 inne (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelbert_ Ames).
1898 griff Ames wieder zu den Waffen: Im Krieg gegen Spanien kämpfte er als Brigadegeneral der Freiwilligen auf Kuba. Er schrieb Memoiren, die posthum 1964 herausgegeben wurden. Am 12. April 1933 starb Adelbert Ames als letzter überlebender General des Bürgerkrieges in Ormond Beach, Florida. Er ist auf dem Hildreth Family Cemetery in Lowell, Massachusetts beerdigt (http://de. wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelbert_ Ames).

18.1.1842 Garden Prairie / Boone County / Illinois - † 16.11.1911 Minneapolis; Sohn von Dr. Alfred Elisha Ames und Martha A. Ames; °° 5.2.1862 mit Sarah Strout, Tochter von Captain Richard Strout aus Minneapolis. In August 1862, Ames, along with a few others, raised Company B of 9th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry and became involved in the Dakota War of 1862. This small war erupted between the white settlers of Minnesota and the local Dakota population. Dr. Ames was appointed orderly sergeant and was ordered to gather up the men for active duty. During this spur of enlistments, the men of the 9th regiment were allowed fifteen days of leave in order to gather their things and settle their affairs before each was rushed to the front lines where the Indians were rapidly advancing on Minneapolis.
In the fall of 1863, Dr. Ames accompanied his regiment south to Fort Rigdely, a hot spot for Indian invasion. Luckily, during his participation with Company B, Ames gained experience in surgery which helped advance his talent and studies. A few days later, Ames was commissioned assistant surgeon to the Seventh Minnesota Regiment Infantry Volunteers. After witnessing combat at the Battle of Acton in 1863, Ames was shipped south to provide medical services during the American Civil War. He served with this regiment for three years, eventually being promoted to the rank of surgeon major in July 1864. He returned to Minneapolis when hostilities ceased on August 18, 1865.

The Emancipation Proclamation which had been put in operation was the reason he gave for deserting the cause of the Union, but I always suspected that it was some personal wrong he had suffered. He seemed to be animated by the most vindictive hatred for his former comrades. I felt an instinctive confidence in his sincerity which he never betrayed. After I had thoroughly tested his fidelity, I made him a lieutenant. He served with me until he was killed in October, 1864“ (Mosby: A Bit of Partisan Service, in: Battles and Leaders III S. 14).

Amsberg, Georg von:
US-Col; at first Major, Co. F&S, 5th Regiment New York Infantry State Militia (3 months, 1861) (National Park Soldiers M551 Roll 145); later Col, Co. F&S, 45th Regiment New York Infantry (National Park Soldiers M551 Roll 145).
June 24, 1821 Hildesheim - † November 21, 1876;
Amsberg war früher preußischer [richtigerweise österreichisch-ungarischer] Offizier gewesen (Kaufmann: Deutsche im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg, p. 478).
teilweise fehlerhaft als „von Arnsberg“ genannt (Hamlin: Gettysburg, p. 41).
Amsberg, who served in Austria, Hungary, and the United States as a military officer in both the Hungarian revolution of 1848 and the American Civil War. Along with such other figures as Carl Schur zand Franz Sigel, he was among a group of European revolutionaries and emigrants who have been collectively termed "Forty-Eighters", a number of whom served prominently in the Union Army. Georg von Amsberg was born in Hildesheim near Hanover, where he was educated at the Polytechnic Institute (the precursor to the University of Hanover). Like many Germans after the downfall of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, he joined the Austrian Army in 1837 as a cadet, and advanced rapidly. By 1848 he was an officer in an elite Hungarian hussar (light cavalry) regiment.
During the 1848 Hungarian revolution, Von Amsberg, with his regiment, allied with the Hungarian Revolutionary Army, or Honvéd, against Austrian rule. As a Major, he served as an Aide-de-Camp to General Henryk Dembiński, but he later rose to Brigadier General. He fought in twenty one battles during the conflict. Von Amsberg was awarded the Order of Valor by Lajos Kossuth for the "prowess and skill displayed in the Battle of Szolnok". On August 2, 1849, he commanded 13,000 men of General József Nagysándor's Corps in the Battle of Debrecen, gaining a "great reputation for the valor and intelligence manifested in the engagement." He was taken prisoner, however, with the surrender of the Hungarian Army eleven days later. During the subsequent retribution by the Austrian Empire he was sentenced to 16 years. After 9 years confinement he was released and banished.
After his release von Amsberg emigrated to the United States. He arrived from Bremen in New York City on September 27, 1858 on the ship Husdon.[3] Von Amsberg worked for a time as a riding instructor at the Hoboken Riding School.
Von Amsberg began his U.S. military service as a major in the 5th Regiment New York National Guard Infantry (5th Regiment of Militia of New York City) on May 1, 1861, shortly after the outbreak of the American Civil War. The regiment was a three-month regiment, so von Amsberg was honorably mustered out of the militia with the rest of the regiment on August 7, 1861. On September 9, 1861, von Amsberg organized the 45th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which he commanded as colonel as of October 7, 1861. He commanded this unit during the Battle of Cross Keys and Battle of Chancellorsville. During the Battle of Gettysburg he assumed command of 1st Brigade, 3rd Division of XI Corps after the death of Major General John F. Reynolds necessitated advancement of the command structure. He tendered his resignation in September or October 1863 and was discharged for disability due to asthma, acute bronchitis and gastritis on January 22, 1864.
After the war, von Amsberg was the proprietor of a hotel. He died on November 21, 1876 at Hoboken, New Jersey. George von Amsberg is buried in Weehawken Cemetery in North Bergen (Anm. Angabe falsch], New Jersey, USA. (Internetdatei http://en. Wikipedia. Org/ wiki/ Georg_von_Amsberg).
24.6.1821 Hildesheim / Germany - † 21.11.1876 Hoboken, Hudsin County / New Jersey; beerd. Palisades Cemetery, North Bergen, Hudson County / New Jersey (www.findagrave.com).
Born George Karl Heinrich Wilhelm von Amsburg in Hanover, Germany, he was commissioned as Major of the 5th New York State Militia on May 1, 1861, serving until honorably mustered out on August 7, 1861. He was then commissioned on October 7, 1861 as Colonel and commander of the 45th New York Volunteer Infantry, who were known as the "5th German Rifles" due to the fact that it was nearly entirely composed of men who immigrated from the Germanic States (www.findagrave.com).

Andel als Banker in Belleville tätig (www.findagrave.com, Abruf vom 27.10.2016).
Andel und sein Schwager Captain Henry A. *Kircher waren zunächst Soldiers, Co. A, 9th Regiment Illinois Infantry (3 months, 1861) (National Park Soldiers M539 Roll 2), Kircher als Sergeant, Andel als Corporal. Kircher was born in 1841, one often children of Joseph and Augusta Kircher, German natives who migrated to western Illinois in the 1830s. Kircher grew up in a closely knit family and attended Oakfield Academy, near St. Louis, one of the first German-American schools west of the Mississippi. He became a machinist by trade and was working in his hometown when the first shock waves of Sumter reached Illinois. Kircher and several of his German friends first joined the 9th Illinois as three-months recruits, but he quickly became disillusioned by the political infighting that he visualized would be a barrier to his advancement in the regiment. Because of this disillusionment and the antagonism that developed between the Germans and Americans, he and his Belleville neighbors decided to cross the Mississippi and join the newly formed 12th Missouri, where in time 84 percent of the regiment would be made up of German-Americans. Kircher, who eventually rose to the rank of captain, and the men of the 12th Missouri took part in several important campaigns during their three years service, including Pea Ridge, Chickasaw Bluffs, the siege of Vicksburg, and finally Lookout Mountain. Kircher's letters, most of them written to his mother, end abruptly in November, 1863, following the battle of Ringgold, Georgia, where he received wounds that caused him to lose both an arm and a leg. Following the war Kircher returned home a hero and despite his handicap became one of Belleville's leading citizens in business and politics, eventually serving two terms as mayor. Kircher was married in 1880 to Bertha Engelmann and had three children. He died on May 1, 1908 (Indiana Magazine of History, Indiana Historical Society, Indianapolis, by Thomas K. Krasean). Sowohl Corporal Andel wie auch sein Schwager Sergeant Henry A. Kircher wechselten zum 12th Regiment Missouri Infantry, wo sie beide zum Captain aufstiegen.

Im August 1864 war Col Anderson Kommandeur von Fort Gaines nahe Fort Morgan. Am 5.8.1864 erfolgte der Angriff von Admiral Farragut’s Union Fleet gegen Forts Gaines und Morgan. Eine US-Landungsstreitmacht landete auf Dauphin Island und begann zusammen mit der Flotte, Fort Gaines’ zu bombardieren. Obwohl die Beschießung wenig Schaden anrichtete, forderte die Besatzung, bestehend aus 6 Co’s der 21st Alabama Infantry, Artilleristen und Reservisten, insgesamt 864 Mann, von Kommandanten Col Anderson, die Übergabe. Die Beschießung nahm an Stärke zu und hatte nunmehr erhebliche Schäden zur Folge. Die Wälle boten keinen Schutz mehr und wurden durchschossen und Panik brach aus. Die Besatzung des Fort stand kurz vor der Rebellion. Anderson war hierdurch am 8.8.1864 zur Übergabe gezwungen. Anderson wurde von seinen Vorgesetzten hart kritisiert, dagegen von Admiral Farragut für seinen Mut und seine Ausdauer gelobt (Allardice: More Generals in Gray, p. 20-21)

Anderson, Robert:
US-MajGen; 14.6.1805 bei Louisville/KY – 26.10.1871 Nizza; Bruder von Charles *Anderson; 1825 Absolvent in West Point; US-Berufsoffizier; Artillerie-Ausbilder in West Point. Sein bester Schüler und zeitweiser Assistent in West-Point war der spätere CS-Gen Beauregard, dem sich Anderson in Fort Sumter ergeben mußte.
Anderson war früher selbst Sklavenhalter gewesen und sympathisierte mit dem Süden, aber der Fahne, der er 35 Jahre gedient hatte, hielt er die Treue (McPherson, p. 252); West-Point-Absolvent 1825 (Artillerie); im Frühling 1846 Kompaniechef in 3rd US-Artillery in *Fort Moultrie / Charleston (1st Lieutenant in ‘C’ Company war der spätere MajGen Sherman); Vorkriegseinsätze: Black Hawk, Seminolen, Mexiko; Lehrer in West-Point, dabei u.a. Lehrer des späteren Generals Beauregard, der Fort Sumter 1861 angriff; 1839 veröffentlichte Anderson das taktische Manual für Feldartillerie (eine Übersetzung aus dem Französischen), das für deren Einsatz im Mexikokrieg bestimmend war. Das Werk wurde 1840 vom War Department offiziell als Artilleriehandbuch anerkannt. 1843 war er Mitglied des sog. Ringgold Board, des Army-Ausschusses zur Entwicklung eines eigenen US-Artilleriehandbuchs, das ein reine Drill-Anweisung war (McWhiney/ Jamieson: Attack and Die, p. 36). Bürgerkriegseinsatz: Maj. Anderson übernahm am 11.11.1860 die Forts Moultrie, Sumter und Castle Pinckney vor Charleston/SC; die 34stündige Verteidigung Fort Sumters macht Anderson zum Helden der Nation; nach der Kapitulation des Fort am 15.5.1861 von Präsident Lincoln zum BrigGen ernannt, mußte Anderson 1863 aus Gesundheitsgründen den Dienst quittieren (Photo bei Längin, S. 36). BrigGen. Robert Anderson übernimmt am 15.8.1861 den US-Wehrbereich Cumberland (Kentucky und Tennessee) mit Hauptquartier in Cincinnati/OH (Sherman, Memoirs, Bd. 1, S. 221 ff).
Die drei Forts im Hafen von Charleston, Sumter, Moultrie und Pinckney dienten der Küstenverteidigung. Ursprünglich war nur Moultrie besetzt gewesen. Da dasselbe aber vom Strand aus sogar durch Gewehrfeuer bestrichen werden konnte, so verlegte der Kommandant Major *Anderson mit seinen wenigen Artilleristen nach dem besser gelegenen Fort Sumter. Präsident Buchanan „schäumte vor Wut, als er von diesem Zuge Andersons erfuhr. Aber er fand doch nicht den Mut, den Befehl zur Rückkehr nach Moultrie erteilen zu lassen.. Moultrie und Pinckney wurden dann von Rebellen besetzt. Die Tatsache, daß Anderson nur genug Mannschaften für eines der drei Forts hatte, war auf die verräterischen Maßregeln des damaligen Kriegsministers Floyd zurückzuführen. Es fehlte der Besatzung an Munition und namentlich an Nahrungsmitteln“ (Kaufmann: Die Deutschen im Amerikanischen Bürgerkriege, p. 56 Anm. 1).
Anderson hatte nur 85 Mann und wenige veraltete Kanonen. Er kapitulierte in aussichtsloser Lage, als nur noch 3 Schuß Munition vorhanden waren (Internetdatei Wikipedia http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Anderson_(Offizier,_1805), Abruf vom 17.11. 2013; Kaufmann: Die Deutschen im Amerikanischen Bürgerkriege, p. 57).

US-Col; Andrews military service began in 1814, when he served as an aid to Commodore Joshua Barney during the War of 1812. He was served as a paymaster in the Army from 1822 to 1847. When the Mexican-American War broke out, he was put in command of the Regiment of Voltigeurs and Foot Riflemen. His second in command, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph E. Johnston would go on to become one of the most senior general officers in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He was distinguished for bravery at the Battle of Molino del Rey, and was brevetted brigadier general for conspicuous gallantry at the Battle of Chapultepec, where his regiment led the assault on Chapultepec Castle. After the Mexican War Andrews returned to the pay department of the Army, gradually rising in rank. In late 1851 Andrews was promoted to Deputy Paymaster-General and in September 1862 became Paymaster-General of the United States Army. Andrews retired from military service on November 29, 1864.

Annecke, Carl Friedrich Theodor „Fritz“:
Januar 1818 Dortmund - † 6. Dezember 1872 Chicago, Illinois; US-Col, zunächst im Stab McClellan's, dann Col 35th Wisconsin Infantry; zuletzt Befehlshaber der Reserve Artillerie der Tennessee-Armee.
Annecke war Lt Königl. Preuß 7. Artillerie-Brigade (Frontispiz von „Ein ehrengerichtlicher Prozeß“ von F. Annecke, Leipzig 1846). Er wurde in einem ehrengerichtlichen Prozeß aus der preußischen Armee entlassen, nachdem er sich zuvor kritisch über das preußische Offizierskorps und u.a. Über die dort gepflegte Duell-Praxis geäußert hatte (Einleitung zu „Ein ehrengerichtlicher Prozeß“ von F. Annecke, Leipzig 1846; Universitätsbibliothek Bielefeld)
Annecke war ein deutscher Revolutionär, preußischer und US-amerikanischer Offizier. Annecke war Mitbegründer des Kölner Arbeitervereins und war dessen erster „Sekretär“ (Geschäftsführer). Annecke war als Oberbefehlshaber der Artillerie der Pfälzischen Volkswehr einer der militärischen Kommandeure der Reichsverfassungskampagne in der Pfalz und in Baden im Sommer 1849. Nach seiner Emigration in die USA unterstützte er zusammen mit seiner Frau und seinem Bruder Emil Annecke die Republikanische Partei von Abraham Lincoln und engagierte sich für die Gleichberechtigung der Afroamerikaner. Fritz und sein Bruder Emil trugen ursprünglich den Familiennamen Annecke, verkürzten diesen aber später auf Anneke ohne „c“. (Internetdatei Wikipedia)
In seinen letzten Lebensjahren wurde er sogar noch ein Anhänger von Otto von Bismarck, ging aber gleichzeitig politisch auf Distanz zu früheren Weggefährten wie Carl Schurz oder Friedrich Hammacher, die in den USA und Deutschland erfolgreiche Karrieren als Politiker und Wirtschaftsführer aufbauten. Eine solche Karriere blieb ihm selbst versagt, mehrere Unternehmensgründungen scheiterten, die Ehe mit der Dichterin Mathilde Franziska Annecke ging auseinander. Zum Schluß lebte er getrennt von ihr in Chicago, wo er als Redakteur und Arbeitersekretär tätig war. Im Alter von 54 Jahren starb Carl Friedrich Theodor Anneke am 6. Dezember 1872 dort an den Folgen eines Unfalls. Nach dem Großen Brand, der ein Jahr vorher große Teile der Stadt in Schutt und Asche gelegt hatte, war Chicago mit ungesicherten Baugruben übersät, eine davon wurde dem kurzsichtigen Anneke zum Verhängnis (Internetdatei Wikipedia http:// de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Anneke).
Annecke konnte zu manchen Mißständen in der US-Army nicht schweigen, und äußerte sich kritisch zu Fehlern seiner militärischen Vorgesetzten. Infolge derartiger Kritiken, die allerdings wohl disziplinwidrig sein mochten, wurde Annecke 183 unter Arrest gestellt und von einem Kriegsgericht zur Absetzung verurteilt (Kaufmann: Die Deutschen im amerikanischen Bürgerkriege, p. 479).
Als literarische Figur taucht Anneke im historischen Roman "Der Weg in die Freiheit" über Carl Schurz von Herbert Kranz auf. Carlo Schmid hat die von Kranz beschriebene Kampagne von Anneke und Schurz in der Pfalz in ein Rundfunkhörspiel verarbeitet, das sich im Archiv der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung befindet (Internetdatei Wikipedia http:// de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Anneke).

Sein Regiment stieß am 4.6.1862, zwei Tage vor der Schlacht von Shiloh auf starke CS-Kräfte und meldete dies dem Divisionskommandeur Sherman; Sherman ließ daraufhin antworten: "There is no enemy closer than Corinth" (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 137); am Samstag 5.4.1862 nachts, am Vorabend der Schlacht von Shiloh, entdeckte das Regiment CS-Scouts, woraufhin Col Appler eine nicht vom Divisionskommando nicht genehmigte Aufklärung der 53rd Ohio Infantry südlich Rhea's Field anordnete (Daniel, p. 156). Bei Angriffsbeginn am 6.4.1862 wurde das Regiment von der 6th Mississippi Infantry angegriffen, die 70,5% Verluste erlitt. Col Appler verlor dennoch die Nerven, befahl den Rückzug und flüchtete (Daniel: Shiloh, p. 159).

Archer, James J.:
CS-BrigGen; 1817- † 4.10.1864 Richmond; stammte aus Maryland, Princeton Graduate; Rechtsanwalt; Veteran des Mexiko-Krieges; US-Berufsoffizier,
Archer war Rechtsanwalt gewesen, quitting his law practise in 1855 to join the Regular Army in 1855 without the benefit to a West Point education (Newton: McPherson's Ridge, p. 26).
Captain 9th US-Infantry; er resigned am 14.5.1861 und schloß sich der CSA an; seit Herbst 1861 Col 5th Texas Infantry in Hood's Brigade; BrigGen 3.6.1862; *Archer's Brigade in Hill's Light Division im Battle of Cedar Mountain (Battles and Leaders Vol. II, S. 496; Hassler: AP Hill, p. 79; Freeman: Lee's Lieutenants, p. 296).

Archer's Brigade captured a key position at Hazel Grove on 3.5.1863, but the engagement, Archer noted, cost „in killed & wounded more than a forth of my brigade ...“. Overlooked after the battle was the fact that Archer had lost control of his regiments in tangled terrain, to be saved only by the quick thinking of the 1st Tennessee's colonel Newton George (Newton: McPherson's Ridge, p. 26).
Archer’s Brigade gehörte im Sommer 1863 als 3rd Brigade zur 2nd Division Henry Heth III Army Corps LtGen Ambrose P. Hill Lee’s Army of the Potomac.

He was shot on Sunday the 6th, but lived just 24 hours longer, just long enough to learn that our men had beaten back the enemy...He died on Monday the 7th between 12 and 1 o'clock. His body was brought home by his brother John [who] was a private in the same Regt. & he was buried here last Sunday. Poor Fred has left many friends behind. The Regt. to which he belonged the 31st Ind. had 21 killed, 103 wounded & 4 missing. Total 128 out of about 450 men of the Regt. were thus disabled in this battle thus showing pretty hard fighting. The Co., Co. A of which Fred was first Capt. [U.S. military records give his rank as Major] went into battle with 40 to 50 men. Of these 3 were killed, 10 were wounded & 1 missing. I shall start now immediately for the field of battle to bring home his horse and other effects. Yours, Godfrey Arn“ (aus http://civilwarjourney1862.blogspot.de/2010/12/april-19th1862.html).

The Regt. to which he belonged the 31st Ind. had 21 killed, 103 wounded & 4 missing. Total 128 out of about 450 men of the Regt. were thus disabled in this battle thus showing pretty hard fighting. The Co., Co. A of which Fred was first Capt. [U.S. military records give his rank as Major] went into battle with 40 to 50 men. Of these 3 were killed, 10 were wounded & 1 missing. I shall start now immediately for the field of battle to bring home his horse and other effects. Yours, Godfrey Arn“ (aus http://civilwarjourney1862.blogspot.de/2010/12/april-19th1862.html).

Ashby, Richard:
CS-Captain; jüngerer Bruder von Turner *Ashby; auch Richard Ashby gehörte zu Valley Cavalry, inzwischen unter dem Kommando von Turner Ashby; Richard Ashby wurde der Nachfolger seines Bruder als Kompaniechef; gefallen am 26.6.1861 bei den Kämpfen um die Baltimore & Ohio Railroad ( McDonald: Laurel Brigade, p. 22).
Ashby, Turner:
CS-BrigGen; 1828-6.6.1862; Ashby war seit November 1861 als Nachfolger von Col Angus W. *McDonald Col. 7th Virginia Cavalry: Seine Einheit stellte die Scouts in Shenandoah-Tal (Worsham, John H.: "One of Jackson's Foot Cavalry; , S. 45); er unterstützte Belle *Boyd in den Anfängen ihrer Karriere als CS-Kurier und Spionen (Scarborough, p. 13-27, 28).
Ashby was a Confederate General whose death in combat seemed to typify the doomed gallantry of the South's military efforts. He was from an old Virginia family. His grandfather had fought in the Revolution and father had fought in the War of 1812. Turner was opposed to secession in principle, but as a planter and grain dealer, he defended the practice of slavery. He personally organized a troop of mounted volunteers to ride to Harper's Ferry when he heard of John Brown's raid, but he arrived too late to take action. When Virginia seceeded, Ashby immediately organized another troop of horsemen that, incorporated into the 7th Virginia Cavalry, he led in the early operations in the Upper Potomac. In the spring of 1862, Ashby helped cover Jackson's retreat to Swift Run Gap, but by late May he was pursuing the retreating federal forces under General Banks. On 27 May 1862 Ashby was commissioned a brigadier general, by which time he was commanding a cavalry brigade that was fighting rearguard actions to protect Jackson's army as it retreated from the Shenandoah Valley. On 6 June, Ashby was killed by Federal troops.
Ashby war völlig furchtlos und außerordentlich wagemutig, auf der anderen Seite mangelte es ihm an Organisationstalent. Dem Farmer Ashby, der wenig Schulausbildung und keine militärische Ausbildung besaß, ging die Notwendigkeit der Disziplin, für die Jackson bekannt war, völlig ab (Tanner: Stonewall in the Valley, p. 55)
Ashby litt sehr unter der Behandlung durch Stonewall Jackson und übersandte deshalb dem Kongreßabgeordneten A. R. *Boteler, der sowohl mit Ashby als auch mit Jackson befreundet war Ende April 1862 sein Rücktrittsgesuch. Vor dessen Eintreffen bei Boteler hatte allerdings Jackson den Konflikt beigelegt (Krick: Conquering the Valley, p. 11; Ashby: Letter to A. R. Boteler; Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Simon Gratz Collection).
Ashby's Cavalry unterstand direkt dem Kriegsministerium und nicht Stonewall Jackson (Tanner: Stonewall in the Valley, p. 56).
Gen. Jackson hatte Zweifel an der Fähigkeit Ashby's zur Führung größerer Kavallerieeinheiten (Krick: Conquering the Valley, p. 20), weshalb er BrigGen George H. Steuart einen Teil der Cavalry unterstellte. Während Jackson's Valley Campaign beschwerten sich Col. Munford (2nd Virginia Cavalry) und Col. Flournoy über mangelnde Fähigkeiten ihres Vorgesetzten Steuart's (wegen dessen mangelhafter Führung im Battle of Winchester am 25.5.1862 und eines weiteren Führungsfehlers bei Woodstock am 2.6.1862), der sich Gen. Ewell anschloß, woraufhin Jackson das Kommando über die gesamte Cavalry erneut auf Ashby übertrug (Krick: Conquering the Valley, p. 20, 25; Brief Munford's an Hotchkiss v. 23.8.1896 in Hotchkiss Papers, Reel 49, Library of Congress, Washington D.C.; Pfanz: Ewell, p. 561 Anm. 17; Freeman: Lee's Lieutenants, p. 199).
Jackson war trotz des fehlgeschlagenen Experiments mit Steuart und der Wiedereinsetzung Ashby's dennoch gegen dessen Beförderung zum BrigGen. Jackson kritisierte insb. daß Ashby wenig auf Disziplin seiner Untergebenen hielt . Ashby wurde dennoch aus politischen Gründen gegen Jackson's Meinung befördert (Krick: Conquering the Valley, p. 25).
Ashby veranlaßte am 6.6.1862 die 1st New Jersey Cavalry von Col. Sir Percy *Wyndham am 6.6.1862 zu einem überhasteten und ohne Aufklärung geführten Angriff auf Turner Ashby's Cavalry nördlich Port Republik, Va. und lockte diese hierdurch in einen Hinterhalt, bei dem Co. Wyndham gefangengenommen wurde (Krick: Conquering the Valley, p. 27). Bei einem Gefecht mit nachfolgenden US-Truppen von Gen. George D. Bayard, darunter das 'Bucktail Rifles' genannte Battalion von Col T. L. *Kane ist Ashby gefallen (Krick: Conquering the Valley, p. 28-29).

Atchinson, David R.:
US-Senator aus Missouri; Unterstützer der Sklavenhaltung; Atchinson spielte eine traurige Rolle im Versuch das Kansas Territorium für den Süden zu gewinnen. Er rief seine Landsleute dazu auf, sich vorübergehend in Kansas aufzuhalten, um hierdurch die Wahlen von 1855 zu manipulieren, das Territorium als Staat des Südens in die Union aufnehmen und die Mehrheitsverhältnisse im US-Senat nach der Aufgabe der *Kansas-Nebrasca-Bill zugunsten des Südens manipulieren zu können (McPherson: Für die Freiheit, Kap. 5 S. 134 ff; Davis, William C.: Brother against Brother, p. 72 f.; Castel: Quantrill. , S. 3).
Atchinson schreckte auch nicht vor dem Aufruf zu Mord und Totschlag zurück und erklärte Jefferson Davis: "Wir werden schießen, brennen und hängen müssen, aber die Sache wird bald erledigt sein. Wir sind entschlossen, die Abolitionisten zu 'mormonisieren'." (Zitat nach McPherson: Für die Freiheit, p. 134 m.w.N.) Atchinson veranlaßte und unterstützte die 'Border Ruffians".
Im Juni 1861 befand sich Atchinson bei Missouri Governor Claiborne *Jackson bei dessen Rückzug nach Südwest-Missouri vor den Streitkräften Nathaniel *Lyon's; dadurch Beobachter des Battle of Carthage am 5.7.1861 (Moneghan: Civil War on the Western Borders, p. 156).

Atkinson, Edmund Nathan:
CS-Col; Co. F&S, 26th Regiment Georgia Infantry; Atkinson enlisted as Adjutant of the regiment (National Park Soldiers M2256 Roll 2).
Atkinson was the grandson of a former president of the University of Georgia, Moses Waddel. The wealthy son of a Camden County plantation owner, Atkinson was an 1856 graduate of the Georgia Military Institute in Marietta. At the start of the war, he was one of the few people in southeastern Georgia proficient in drilling troops and moving a military command from one point to another. He was wounded at Sharpsburg and again at Fredericksburg, where he was captured while commanding the brigade. After beeing paroled and exchanged, he returned to active duty, commanding his regiment (Mingus: Flames Beyond Gettysburg, p. 11; see also Freeman: Lee's Lieutenants, vol. II, p. 385, 391 ).

Aubery, Cullen B. 'Doc':
US-Zeitungsverkäufer; he had never been a soldier, but was fondly remembered as the young newsboy, who sold newpapers in the army camps around Washington (Herdegen/Beaudot: In the Bloody Railroad Cut, p. 282).
Vermont born Aubery had first come to the war front as a lieutenant's attendant, and later sold newspapers among regiments of the Iron Brigade. He had been captured in 1862 and imprisoned at Libby Prison, but after his exchange he had again taken up selling newspapers, this time amid regiments of the Iron Brigade (Herdegen/Beaudot: In the Bloody Railroad Cut, p. 243n2)

Audenried, Joseph C.:
US-LtCol, aide-de-camp bei Sherman (Sherman: Memoirs, vol. 2 S. 178; Anm.: bei National Park Soldiers nicht genannt). Im Juli 1864 während der Atlanta Campaign war Capt. Audenried aide-de-camp bei Sherman und traf am 7.7.1864 bei BrigGen Garrard in dessen HQ bei Willeo Creek / nahe Roswell / Georgia ein (Evans: Sherman's Horsemen, p. 19).
West Point Class of 1861 (findagrave.com., accessed 31.1.2019). 6.11.1839 - † 3.6.1880 Washington/DC; buried US Military Academy Post Cemetery, West point (findagrave.com., accessed 31.1.2019)..
During the course of the Civil War, Audenried had the distinction of serving under the most illustrious officers in the Union army and was recognized three times for gallant and meritorious service with brevet promotions to Captain, Major (Atlanta) and Lieutenant Colonel (War service). Although he married 18-year old Mary Colket in 1863 and had a daughter, Florence, in 1867, he apparently never considered settling down to a civilian life, nor did he leave Sherman’s side for long. Promoted to Captain of the 6th Cavalry in July 1866, headquartered in St. Louis, he participated in the Indian wars in the west under Sherman’s command, earning a promotion to Colonel in March 1869, and when Sherman was promoted to Lieutenant General when Grant was elected President, Audenried went along, moving to Washington, D.C. (Cullum's Register)
His grandfather Lewis Audenried was an emigrant from Switzerland in 1789; his father William Audenried (14.3.1793 Kutztown, Berks County, Pa. - † 2.12.1850 Mechanicsburg, Pa.) was a farmer and lumber, who served as State Senator of Tennessee and LtCol 30th Regiment Pennsylvania Militia (findagrave.com., accessed 31.1.2019).

Augur, Christopher Columbus:
US-MajGen; 10.7.1821 Kendall, Orleans County/NY - † 16.1.1898 Washington/DC.
Civil War Union Major General. He graduated from the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York in 1843, placing 16th out of 39 (his classmates included future Union Generals William B. Franklin, Ulysses S. Grant and Joseph J. Reynolds, as well as future Confederate Generals Roswell Ripley, Samuel G. French and Franklin Gardner). His service after graduation was typical, serving in the Mexican War and on the Western American frontier against the Plains Indians. When the Civil War started he had the rank of Captain, 4th United States Infantry in the Regular Army, and served as commandant of cadets at West Point. In May 1861 he was promoted to Major of the newly-raised 13th United States Infantry, but his time with the new regiment as brief. In November 1861 he was promoted to Brigadier General, US Volunteers, and commanded a brigade along the Rappahannock River during the Spring 1862 Peninsular Campaign. In the August 1862 Battle of Cedar Mountain, where the Union forces were soundly defeated by Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, he sustained a severe wound while in command of the II Corps' 2nd Division, but was highly commended for his performance and bravery, which led to his promotion to Major General, US Volunteers (and a brevet of Colonel, US Regular Army). During his convalesces from his Cedar Mountain wound he served on a commission that investigated Colonel Dixon Miles' September 1862 surrender of Harper's Ferry, Virginia. He then served with Major General Nathaniel Banks in operations in Louisiana and Mississippi, leading the left wing of the Union Army that forced the capitulation of Port Hudson, Mississippi in July 1863. He subsequently commanded simultaneously the XXII Corps and the Department of Washington to the end of the war. As commander of the Capital District, he was present when President Abraham Lincoln succumbed to an assassin's bullet, and was detailed to escort the President's body from the Petersen House, where he died, to the White House. When he was mustered out of Volunteer service in September 1866, he received the brevet of Brigadier and Major General, US Regular Army and was promoted to Colonel and commander of the 12th United States Regular Infantry. In 1869 he was advanced to Brigadier General in the Regular service, and he retired with that rank in 1885 (http://www.findagrave.com).

Averell, William Woods:
US-MajGen; 1832-1900; aus New York; West Point 1855 (26/34); US-Berufsoffizier; Mounted Infantry / Cavalry; verwundet in den Indian Wars; eingesetzt an der Frontier und im Garnisonsdienst; 1st Lt 3rd US Cavalry am 14.5.1861; befördert zu Captain der 3rd US Cavalry am 17.7.1862; am 23.8.1861 ernannt zum Col 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry (Longacre: Lincoln's Cavalrymen, p. 101; Boatner, p. 34). Von Oktober 1861 bis März 1862 kommandierte er eine Cavalry Brigade in der Verteidigung von Washington. BrigGen 26.9.1862; BrigGen Averell' Cavalry wurde zur Verfolgung von Stuart's Chambersburg Raid vom 9.-13.10.1862 eingesetzt, und legte mit seiner Brigade 200 Meilen in nur 4 Tagen zurück (Alexander, Edward Porter: Military Memoirs, p. 277). Averell reagierte jedoch zu langsam und zu unentschieden (Longacre: Mounted Raids, p. 36).
Im Frühjahr 1863 Brigadekommandeur in Stoneman's Kavalleriedivision; Einsatz bei *Kelly's Ford am 17.3.1863 (Fordney: Stoneman at Chancellorsville, p. 3; Sears: Chancellorsville, pp. 83). Divisionskommandeur 2nd Cavalry Division vom 22.2.1863 - 4.5.1863 in Stoneman's Cavalry Corps während der Chancellorsville Campaign (Boatner, p. 35; Longacre: Mounted Raids, p. 157). Hierbei sollte Averell mit dem rechten Flügel von Stoneman's Cavalry Corps (bestehend aus Averell's Cavalry Division plus Benjamin F. „Grimes“ *Davis' brigade and a battery of horse artillery) auf Brandy Station an der Orange & Alexandria RR nach Süden vorstoßen und weiter nach Süden über den Rapidan nach Gordonsville (OR series I, vol. 25, pt. 1, p. 1058; Longacre: Mounted Raids, p. 157-58).
Averell beschreibt das weitere Vorgehen in seinem Report vom 11.5.1863 (Battles and Leaders III, S. 153): „We encountered the enemy's cavalry, two thousand strong, under General W. F. Lee on the morning of the 30th, and drove it through Culpeper Court House in the direction of Rapidan Station. On the 1st we pressed the enemy's cavalry and pushed our right to within three miles of Orange Court House in an effort to dislodge the enemy from a strong position occupied by him on the south bank of the Rapidan, after he had crossed and destroyed the bridge. While thus engaged on the morning of the 2d we were recalled to the Army of the Potomac at U.S. Ford (Furt über den Rappahannock westlich von Fredericksburg) by orders from General Hooker. We reached *Ely's Ford (Furt über den Rapidan; s. Ortsglossar Stichwort Ely's Ford mit Karte) after dark on the evening of the 2d, and were fired upon by enemy's infantry from the opposite bank. A part of McIntosh's brigade forded the river, dismounted, drove away the enemy, some of the 13th North Carolina, and captured some prisoners. We early on the morning of the 3d we crossed the Rapidan and entered the right of our lines“.
Diese Meldung ist nicht ganz zutreffend. Vielmehr teilte Averell am Abend des 30.4.1863 Stoneman mit, daß er nicht nach Gordonsville vorgestoßen war, sondern sich noch bei Rapidan Station aufhielt (nur 24,7 mi vom Ausgangspunkt Kelly's Ford entfernt). Averell war offenbar in großer Sorge von Jeb Stuart's Cavalry umzingelt zu werden, dessen Stärke er stark übertrieb. Auch Stoneman's Befehlsgebung war alles andere als in Ordnung. Statt Averell zu beruhigen und klare Ziele zu setzen, waren Stoneman's Depeschen derart vague and ambiguous, that Averell received the impression he should remain indefinitely at Rapidan Station, holding Rooney Lee's CS-Cavalry, die vor Averell nach Süden ausgewichen war, auf Abstand. Later Stoneman claimed that he had instructed Averell to make short work of the enemy, then form a juncture with Stoneman's riding column. Folge dieser befehlsmäßigen „Glanzleistung“ war, daß Averell 1 ½ Tage am Rapidan dahin trödelte. Endlich erfuhr am 2.5.1863 Oberbefehlshaber Hooker hiervon und befahl Averell zur Hauptarmee zurückzukehren. Sogar diese Anordnung did not rouse Averell into action; a second directive was necessary to pry Averell loose from his position and send him moving twenty miles eastward toward Hooker's side (Longacre: Mounted Raids of the Civil War, p. 161).
Am 3.5.1863 entzog ihm *Hooker das Kommando, als Averell von der Aufklärung auf der Flanke der Army of the Potomac zurückkehrte, wegen 'impractical for Cavalry Work' (Boatner, p. 35) und ersetzte ihn durch BrigGen Alfred Pleasonton. Selbst der geduldige Hooker konnte Averell's Inkompetenz nicht länger hinnehmen und dessen fortwährende Ausreden weiter entschuldigen (Longacre: Mounted Raids of the Civil War, p. 162).
Averell then commanded a division under Stoneman. He was known for a haugthy personality that rubbed many the wrong way and stunted his career. Averell was said to mirror the overly cautious nature of MajGen George McClellan, often loosing momentum because of a penchant for treating a battlefield like a chessboard (Wittenberg: The Union Cavalry comes to age, p. 24).
Averell’s Raid on the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad (November 1863) und Teilnahme am Crook-Averell Raid on the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad (May 1864). Ende September 1864 wurde Averell von Phil *Sheridan das Kommando entzogen, wegen fehlender Aggressivität bei der Verfolgung von Early während Sheridan's Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Für seine Einsätze bei Kelley's Ford, Droop Mountain, Salem Expedition, Moorefield and War Service wurde Averell zum MajGen befördert. Resigned am 18.5.1865. Averell war US-Generalkonsul in Kanada von 1866-69; später Präsident einer großen Manufacturing Company. A prominent inventor in several industrial fields (steel, asphalt, paving, electrical power), he acquired considerabel wealth (Boatner, p. 35).
Averell was a Democrat and he certainly did not trust the Republican administration, whose bungling he blamed for the war. He also did not believe that amateur soldiers and ploiticians had any roll in the army, believing that only professional soldiers like him should command large bodies of troops in the field. His haughtiness greatly hindered his military career in the highly politicízed environment of the Army of the Potomac (Wittenberg: Union Cavalry Comes to age, p. 43).

Avery, Isaac Erwin:
CS-Col; 20.12.1829 - † gef. 3.7.1863 Gettysburg nach tödlicher Verwundung beim Angriff auf Cemetery Ridge als temporary Brigadekommandeur der Brigade von BrigGen Robert F. Hoke am 2.7.1863. Col 6th North Carolina Infantry Regiment; Avery is most remembered for a poignant blood-stained note that he wrote as he lay dying on the slopes of Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg.
With his state's secession from the Union, Isaac returned to Burke County, and with his brother Alphonso, recruited Company E of the 6th North Carolina Regiment. As captain, Avery commanded the company, which fought in the First Battle of Bull Run and the Battle of Seven Pines. In the summer of 1862, he was promoted to colonel. He was wounded at Gaines' Mill and was out of action until late in the fall. Avery's recovery caused him to miss the battles at Second Bull Run and Antietam. Following the reorganization of the army after the Battle of Fredericksburg, the 6th North Carolina was placed under the command of veteran Brig. Gen. Robert F. *Hoke.
With Hoke's wounding at the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863, Avery temporarily assumed command of the brigade in time for the Gettysburg Campaign. The now 34-year-old Avery led his troops forward on July 1 on a wide sweep north and east of the borough of Gettysburg. Union artillery fire from a knoll near Culp's Hill finally halted his advance. On July 2, Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early ordered Avery along with the brigade of Brig. Gen. Harry T. Hays to assault eastern Cemetery Hill. Attacking in the early evening, Avery was struck in the neck by a musket ball and fell from his white horse, bleeding badly. Apparently he was alone at the time, and the brigade's attack was delivered without coordination. After the ill-fated charge, the partially paralyzed officer was discovered by several of his soldiers. His aide and former business partner, Maj. Samuel Tate of the 6th North Carolina, knelt by his side. Unable to speak from his mortal wound and with his right hand useless from the paralysis, Avery with his left hand scribbled a simple note and gave it to Tate. It said: "Major, tell my father I died with my face to the enemy. I. E. Avery." Avery died the following day in a nearby Gettysburg field hospital. He was initially buried in Riverview Cemetery in Williamsport, Maryland, but later reburied at Washington Confederate Cemetery, part of Rose Hill Cemetery, in Hagerstown, Maryland.
