Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Critical Examination (in Part) Of Pennypacker's Life of General George G. Meade "The Ninth Corps was moved by rail to Annapolis, where it was recruited up to about twenty-five thousand men. As the time for action neared it was set in motion, and by easy marches reached and re-enforced the Army of the Potomac on the morning of the 6th of May. in the midst of the battle of the Wilderness. It was not formally incorporated with that army until later, but by a sort of Action, it was held to be a distinct army, Burnside acting in concert with Meade, and receiving his orders directly from Grant, as did Meade. These two armies were the excuse for Grant's personal presence, without actually superseding Meade. "In my opinion the great soldier of the Army of the Potomac at this time was General Humphreys. He.was the chief of staff to General Meade and was a strategist, a tactician, and an engineer. Humphreys was a lighter, too, and in this an exception to most engineers. He was a very interesting figure. He used to ride about in a black felt hat. the brim of which was turned down all around, making him look like a Quaker. He was very pleasing to deal with, unless you were fighting against him. and then he was not so pleasant. [He was a Quaker by descent.] Humphreys was a very charming man. quite destitute of vanity. I think he had consented to go and serve with Meade as chief of staff out of pure patriotism. He preferred an active command, and eventually on the eve of the end, succeeded to the command of the [combined] Second [Third]Corps, and bore a conspicuous part in the Appomatox campaign. - Charles A. Dana's Recollections page 191-2. "Before the army had recovered from itslong march from Cold Harbor and the failure to capture [Petersburg] there was an unusual amount of controversy going on among the officers. Meade and Warren were so at loggerheads that Meade notified Warren that he must either ask to be relieved as corps-commander or he (Meade) would prefer charges against him. It seemed as if Meade grew more unpopular every day. Finally the difficulties between him and his subordinates became so serious that a change in the commander of the Army of the Potomac seemed probable. "The Fifth Corps having prepared the way. the whole army left the lines about Cold Harbor on schedule time, just as soon after nightfall on the 12th [June 1864] as its movements could be concealed from the observation of the enemy. It was in drawing orders for such complicated movements as these, along different roads and by different crossings, that the ability of General Humphreys, the chief of staff, was displayed. Everything went perfectly from the start." Page 218 "I had long known Meade to be a man of the worst possible temper, especially toward his subordinates. I think he had not a friend in the whole army. No man, no matter what his business or his service, approached him without being insulted in one way or another, and his own staff officers did not dare to speak to him unless first spoken to. for fear of either sneers or curses. The latter however, I had never heard him indulge in very violently, but be was said to apply them often without occasion, and without reason. At the same time, as far as I was able to ascertain, his generals had lost their confidence in him as a commander. His orders for the last series of assaults upon Petersburg, ill which we lost ten thousand men without gaining any decisive advantage, were greatly criticised. They were, in effect, that he bad found it impractible to secure the co-operation of corps-commanders, and that, therefore, each one was to attack on his own account and do the best he could by himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1864, General Ulysses Grant ordered his cavalry commander, Philip Sheridan, to conduct a raid to destroy the Virginia Central Railroad between Charlottesville and Richmond. Sheridan fell short of his objective when he was defeated by General Wade Hampton's cavalry in a two-day battle at Trevilian Station. The first day's fighting saw dismounted Yankees and Rebels engaged at close range in dense forest. By day's end, Hampton had withdrawn to the west. Advancing the next morning, Sheridan found Hampton dug in behind hastily built fortifications and launched seven dismounted assaults, each repulsed with heavy casualties. As darkness fell, the Confederates counterattacked, driving the Union forces from the field. Sheridan began his withdrawal that night, an ordeal for his men, the Union wounded and Confederate prisoners brought off the field and the hundreds of starved and exhausted horses that marked his retreat, killed to prevent their falling into Confederate hands.

Book Synopsis "Too Much for Human Endurance" by : Ronald D. Kirkwood
Download or read book "Too Much for Human Endurance" written by Ronald D. Kirkwood and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of the doctors, nurses and patients at the Union Army’s hospital in Gettysburg come to life in this unique Civil War history. Those who toiled and suffered at the Army of the Potomac’s XI Corps hospital at the George Spangler Farm in Gettysburg have long since departed. But Ronald D. Kirkwood, a journalist and George Spangler Farm expert, shares their stories—many of which have never been told before—in this gripping and scholarly narrative. Using a wealth of firsthand accounts, Kirkwood re-creates the XI Corps hospital complex and its people—especially George and Elizabeth Spangler, whose farm was nearly destroyed in the fateful summer of 1863. A host of notables make appearances, including Union officers George G. Meade, Henry J. Hunt, Edward E. Cross, Francis Barlow, Francis Mahler, Freeman McGilvery, and Samuel K. Zook. Pvt. George Nixon III, great-grandfather of President Richard M. Nixon, would die there, as would Confederate Gen. Lewis A. Armistead, who fell mortally wounded at the height of Pickett’s Charge. Kirkwood presents the most complete lists ever published of the dead, wounded, and surgeons at the Spanglers’ XI Corps hospital, and breaks new ground with stories of the First Division, II Corps hospital at the Spanglers’ Granite Schoolhouse. He also examines the strategic importance of the property itself, which was used as a staging area to get artillery and infantry to the embattled front line.
