Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of the Operations of the Army of Northern Virginia, Vol. 1 of 2: From June 1862, to and Including the Battle at Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, 1862 According to the general order of battle, a copy of which is an nexed, General Jackson was to march 'from Ashland On the 25th, in the direction of Slash Church, encamping for the night west of the Central railroad, and to advance at three, a.m on the 26th; and turn Beaver Dam. A. P. Hill was to cross the Chickahominy at Mesa dow Bridge, when Jackson's advance beyond that point should be known, and move directly upon.mechanicsville. As Soon as the Me'chanjcsville bridge should be uncovered, Longstreet and D. 'h. Hill. Were to cross the latter to proceed to the support of Jackson, and the former to that of A. P. Hill. The four commands were directed to sweep down the north side of the Chickahominy towards the yorkriver railroad, Jackson on the left and in advance, Long street nearest the river and in the rear. Huger and Magruder were ordered to hold their positions against any assault of the enemy, to observe his movements, and follow him closely should he retreat. General Stuart, with the cavalry, was thrown out on Jackson's left, to guard his flank, and give notice 'of the enemy's movements. Brig; sdier General Pendleton was directed to employ the reserve artillery. So as to resist any approach of the enemy towards Richmond, to superintend that portion offlt posted to aid in the Operations on the north bank, and hold the remainder ready for use when it might be required. In consequence of unavoidable delays, the whole of Gene ral Jackson's command did not arrive. At Ashland in time to enable him to reach the point designated on the 25th. His march'on the 26th was consequently longer than had been anticipated, and his pro; gress' being also retarded by the enemy, A. P. Hill did not begin his movement until three, P. M., when he crossed the river and advanced upon Mechanicsville. After a sharp conflict; he drove the enemy from h1s entrenchments, and forced him to take refuge in his works, on the left bank of Beaver Dam, about a mile distant. This position was a strong one, the banks of the creek in front being high and almost and the approach to it over open fields, comson being expected to pass Beaver 'dam above, and turn the enemy's right, a direct attack was not made by General Hill. -one of his regiments on the left of his line crossed the creek to communicate with Jackson, and remained until after dark, when it was withdrawn. Longstreet and D. H. Hill crossed the Mechanicsville bridge as soon as it was uncovered and could be repaired, but it whs late before they reached the north bank of the Chickahominy D. H. Hill's leading brigade, under Ripley, advanced to the support of the troops engaged, and at a late hour united with Pender's brigade, of A. P. Hill's divis ion, 'in an effort to turn the enemy's left, but the troops were unable, in the growing darkness, to overcome the obstructions, and after sustaining a destructive fire of musketry and artillery at short range, were withdrawn. The fire, was continued until about nine, P. M., When the engagement ceased Our troops retained the ground on the right bank, from which the enemy had been driven. Ripley was relieved at three, P. M., on the 27th, by two of Longstreet's brigades, which were subsequently reinforced. In expectation of Jackson's arrival on'the enemy's right, the battle was renewed at dawn, and continued with animation for about two hours, during which the passage of the creek was attempted, and our troops forced their way to'its banks, where their progress was arrested by the nature of the stream. They maintained their position, while preparations were being made to cross at another point nearer the Chickahominy. Be fore they were com'pleted, Jackson crossed Beaver Dam above and the enemy abandoned his entrenchments and retired rapidly down the river, destroying a great deal of property, b...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac: A Critical History of Operations in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania From the Commencement to the Close of the War; 1861-1865 It is probable that the estimates here rendered of the successwc commanders of the Army of the Potomac, may in some cases be found to run counter to, and in other cases to be a reversal of, popu lar estimates. I must say, in justice to myself, that if some com manders are here exalted above the place they have hitherto held in popular esteem, and others brought down to a lower place, it is because I dared not judge one commander by one standard, and another by another. Whatever criticism I have made on men has resulted from the reference of their actions to the test of these simple principles to which almost all great military questions may be reduced. Those, therefore, who would impugn these judgments must in justice first impugn the reasoning on which they are founded.

Book Synopsis One Continuous Fight by : Eric J. Wittenberg
Download or read book One Continuous Fight written by Eric J. Wittenberg and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The titanic three-day battle of Gettysburg left 50,000 casualties in its wake, a battered Southern army far from its base of supplies, and a rich historiographic legacy. Thousands of books and articles cover nearly every aspect of the battle, but not a single volume focuses on the military aspects of the monumentally important movements of the armies to and across the Potomac River. One Continuous Fight: The Retreat from Gettysburg and the Pursuit of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, July 4-14, 1863 is the first detailed military history of Lee's retreat and the Union effort to catch and destroy the wounded Army of Northern Virginia. Against steep odds and encumbered with thousands of casualties, Confederate commander Robert E. Lee's post-battle task was to successfully withdraw his army across the Potomac River. Union commander George G. Meade's equally difficult assignment was to intercept the effort and destroy his enemy. The responsibility for defending the exposed Southern columns belonged to cavalry chieftain James Ewell Brown (Jeb) Stuart. If Stuart fumbled his famous ride north to Gettysburg, his generalship during the retreat more than redeemed his flagging reputation. The ten days of retreat triggered nearly two dozen skirmishes and major engagements, including fighting at Granite Hill, Monterey Pass, Hagerstown, Williamsport, Funkstown, Boonsboro, and Falling Waters. President Abraham Lincoln was thankful for the early July battlefield victory, but disappointed that General Meade was unable to surround and crush the Confederates before they found safety on the far side of the Potomac. Exactly what Meade did to try to intercept the fleeing Confederates, and how the Southerners managed to defend their army and ponderous 17-mile long wagon train of wounded until crossing into western Virginia on the early morning of July 14, is the subject of this study One Continuous Fight draws upon a massive array of documents, letters, diaries, newspaper accounts, and published primary and secondary sources. These long-ignored foundational sources allow the authors, each widely known for their expertise in Civil War cavalry operations, to describe carefully each engagement. The result is a rich and comprehensive study loaded with incisive tactical commentary, new perspectives on the strategic role of the Southern and Northern cavalry, and fresh insights on every engagement, large and small, fought during the retreat. The retreat from Gettysburg was so punctuated with fighting that a soldier felt compelled to describe it as "One Continuous Fight." Until now, few students fully realized the accuracy of that description. Complimented with 18 original maps, dozens of photos, and a complete driving tour with GPS coordinates of the entire retreat, One Continuous Fight is an essential book for every student of the American Civil War in general, and for the student of Gettysburg in particular. About the Authors: Eric J. Wittenberg has written widely on Civil War cavalry operations. His books include Glory Enough for All (2002), The Union Cavalry Comes of Age (2003), and The Battle of Monroe's Crossroads and the Civil War's Final Campaign (2005). He lives in Columbus, Ohio. J. David Petruzzi is the author of several magazine articles on Eastern Theater cavalry operations, conducts tours of cavalry sites of the Gettysburg Campaign, and is the author of the popular "Buford's Boys" website at www.bufordsboys.com. Petruzzi lives in Brockway, Pennsylvania. A long time student of the Gettysburg Campaign, Michael Nugent is a retired US Army Armored Cavalry Officer and the descendant of a Civil War Cavalry soldier. He has previously written for several military publications. Nugent lives in Wells, Maine.
