SEVENTH REGIMENT.
(THREE YEARS.)
BY WILLLIAM C. HOLBROOK, COLONEL SEVENTH REGIMENT.
THE Seventh Regiment, numbering 943 officers and men, was
mustered into the service of the United States at Rutland, Vt.,
February 12, 1862, under the command of Col. George T. Roberts.
The act under which the regiment was formed authorized the
Governor to "recruit, organize, arm and equip, an additional
regiment" * * * "to serve in the army of the United States."
By a previous act, the Governor had been authorized to recruit,
etc., a regiment to be attached to a New England division then
being raised by Gen. B. F. Butler, under the authority of the
Secretary of War, to operate against the City of New Orleans,
which regiment was "to be armed and equipped at the expense of
the United States." Under this latter act, the Eighth regiment
was formed. It was clearly the intention of the legislature,
by the act under which the Seventh was formed, as it was the
avowed purpose of the State officials, that the Seventh should
not form a part of General Butler's division. It was the
unanimous wish of the officers and men that the regiment might
be sent to the Army of the Potomac, and they were greatly
disappointed and disgusted when they learned that they had been
designated by the War Department, for service under General
Butler.
On the 10th of March, 1862, the Seventh left Rutland for
New York City, where it embarked on two old-fashioned sailing
ships, ill adapted for the transportation of troops, with
sealed orders to proceed to sea. Upon opening the orders, it
was learned that the destination of the regiment was Ship
Island, Miss. The voyage occupied upwards of three weeks, and
was very uncomfortable and trying, owing to the heavy March
gales which prevailed throughout the passage. On the fall of
New Orleans, a portion of the Seventh for a short time,
occupied Fort Pike, one of the important outlying
fortifications of the city, commanding the entrance to Lake
Pontchartrain. The balance of the regiment shortly thereafter
proceeded to Carrolton, an environ of New Orleans; thence, in a
few days, it proceeded to Baton Rouge, where it reported to
Brig.-Gen. Thomas Williams. On the 19th of June, 1862, eight
companies of the Seventh, with three other regiments and a
light battery, comprising altogether about 3,500 men, embarked
on transports to take part in a foolhardy expedition against
Vicksburg, conceived by General Butler. Although supported by
Admiral Farragut's entire squadron of war ships, the expedition
was a failure. After besieging the place for twenty-eight
days, and after the loss, unnecessarily, of many valuable
lives, principally from exposure and sickness, the command
returned to Baton Rouge. Disease and death had so decimated
the ranks of the Seventh, that of the 800 men with which it
started on this ill-starred campaign, it had less than 100 for
duty on its return to Baton Rouge. On the 5th of
August, 1862, the regiment took a conspicuous and highly
meritorious part in the battle which occurred at that place on
that day. In addition to other losses, it had the great
misfortune to lose its beloved and heroic Colonel, George T.
Roberts, who died two days later from wounds received while
gallantly discharging his duties at the most critical stage of
the action. Later, the regiment performed duty in and around
the City of New Orleans. At this time, owing to the hardships
endured on the Vicksburg campaign, the mortality in the
regiment reached its highest percentage. In November
following, the regiment was ordered to Pensacola, Florida.
Here the record of its first year's service closed with the sad
loss of over 300 by death, and upwards of 100 discharged for
disability, most of whom left the service with constitutions
permanently shattered.
The regiment remained in Florida until August 10, 1864,
when, in consequence of the re-enlistment of all but 58 of the
remaining members thereof, it became entitled to a veteran
furlough in Vermont, of thirty days. While in Florida, the
Seventh rendered important service as artillerists in holding
the important fortifications erected for the protection of
Pensacola Harbor, then the headquarters of Farragut's West Gulf
Squadron, where vast naval stores and appliances had been
accumulated for the use of his fleet, and which afforded a
standing bait for the enemy. Besides this, the regiment
performed heavy outpost and scouting duties, both as mounted
and dismounted infantry. It passed through two seasons of
yellow fever, one of which was of a very malignant type.
Several severe combats were had with the enemy, in all
of which the members of the Seventh acquitted themselves with
marked credit, as was attested in general orders by the General
commanding the District.
Upon the expiration of its veteran furlough Vermont, the
regiment was ordered back to New Orleans, where it was
stationed until February, 1865, when it was ordered to Mobile
Point, to take part in the siege of Mobile. The Seventh was
attached to the Thirteenth Corps, commanded by Gen. Gordon
Granger. This Corps, with the Sixteenth and Steele's Division,
and a Cavalry force, comprised the army of General Canby in his
attack upon Mobile. Had the war lasted, this army would have
been called upon for very important service, akin to that
performed by General Sherman in his operations in Alabama and
Georgia. The Seventh took a prominent part in the siege of
Spanish Fort, which was the main and strongest outlying
fortification in the approach to Mobile on its eastern side.
The siege lasted 13 continuous days. The regiment held
important and dangerous positions, and was highly commended for
its efficiency and courage. Several of its officers and men
were specially mentioned for gallantry, performing, as they
did, some of the red letter achievements of the siege. The
regiment participated in all the subsequent operations and
skirmishes of the campaign in and around Mobile, and received,
among other notices, very favorable mention for its part in an
affair at Whistler, which resulted, after a sharp fight, in
saving from destruction the repair and machine shops of the
Mobile and Ohio railway at that point. On the surrender of
Gen. Richard Taylor's army, the Seventh was ordered to
Clarksville, and subsequently to Brownsville, Texas, where it
composed a part of the "Army of Observation," on the Rio
Grande, maintained by our Government, under Gen. Philip H.
Sheridan, to observe and wait the development of the operations
of Maximilian and his French allies, then in Mexico.
On the 14th of March, 1866, the regiment was mustered out
of the service of the United States at Brownsville, Texas, but
proceeded in a body to Brattleboro, Vt., where it was formally
disbanded April 6, 1866.
The Seventh, although serving in the main alone, or with
detached organizations, or in detached parts, was at different
times connected with the Thirteenth and Nineteenth Army Corps.
The regiment served longer, lost more men from disease, and
more of its members re-enlisted "for the war" than was the case
with any other single Vermont organization.
The following is a list of the sieges and battles in which
the regiment, as a body, was mentioned by General Sheridan in
general orders, as having borne a "meritorious part," and
which were ordered inscribed upon its colors: Siege of
Vicksburg, Miss.; Baton Rouge, La.; Gonzales Station, Fla.;
Siege of Spanish Fort, Ala., and Whistler, Ala.
The following is a list of the skirmishes and combats, not
inscribed upon its colors, in which detached portions of the
regiment bore honorable part, and, in most of which, members
thereof were killed or wounded: Pearlington, Miss., June 28,
1862; Grand Gulf, Miss., July 7, 1862; Attack on Mortar Boats,
Vicksburg, Miss., July 8, 1862; Attack on Transport Cars,

BATON ROUGE, LA
AUG. 5TH, 1862
Baton Rouge, La., Aug. 5, 1862. Detached Forces under
Brig.-Gen. Thomas Williams. In pursuance of a plan of the
Confederate leaders at Vicksburg, Maj.-Gen. John C.
Breckenridge, with a force variously estimated at from 3,000
to 6,000 men, moved on Baton Rouge, while the newly built ram
Arkansas was to go down the river and engage the Federal
gunboats at the same time the fight was going on between the
land forces. Williams learned of the movement and disposed
his troops to meet it. The 4th Wis. was on the extreme left,
on the right bank of Bayou Gross on the opposite bank of which
were 2 pieces of Manning's battery so placed as to sweep the
ground on the left of the Badger regiment. To the right of
the 4th Wis. was the 9th Conn., with 2 guns in the rear of the
center and 2 more in rear of the right. Then came the 14th
Me., posted behind the Bayou Sara road and to the left of the
Greenwell Springs road; then the 21st Ind. in the woods behind
Magnolia cemetery with 4 pieces of Everett's battery on the
Greenwell Springs road, then the 6th Mich. across the road to
the right of Magnolia cemetery and the Clay Cut road, on the
former of which were 2 pieces of Everett's battery the 7th Vt.
was posted in rear of the 21st Ind. and 6th Mich. on the right
of the Catholic cemetery, and the 30th Mass., supporting Nim's
battery on the extreme right. The fight began at daylight.
Breckenridge formed line of battle on the open ground near the
Greenwell Springs road and attempted to draw Williams out.
Failing in this the Confederates advanced on the ground
between the Clinton and Clay Cut roads, thus throwing the
brunt of the attack against the 14th Me., the 21st Ind. and
the 6th Mich. Williams ordered the 9th Conn. and the 4th Wis.
with a section of artillery to support the left of the center
and the 30th Mass. with a portion of Nim's battery to aid the
right of the center, but the effort was unavailing. The
Federals put up a desperate resistance but were slowly forced
back and the Confederates captured the camps of the advanced
regiments. Williams was killed just as the regiments
commenced to fall back, and for a little time there was some
confusion in the Union ranks. When the Confederates had
forced the garrison back beyond Magnolia cemetery they were
within range of the Federal gunboats in the river and the
galling fire of the infantry, which was soon rallied, and the
gunboats compelled Breckinridge to fall back. When he had
destroyed the Federal encampment and had ascertained that the
ram Arkansas was hard aground with her machinery disabled he
hastily withdrew, leaving his dead and wounded on the field.
The Union loss in this affair was 84 killed, 266 wounded and
32 captured or missing, Confederate reports make their losses
44 killed, 152 wounded and 6 missing, but a despatch from
Lieut. G. Weitzel, chief engineer of the Department of the
Gulf, states that by the 8th the garrison at Baton Rouge had
buried 250 of the enemy's dead.

FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
(NINE MONTHS.)
BY REV. WILLIAM S. SMART, D. D., CHAPLAIN FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
THE fourteenth regiment was raised under President
Lincoln's call of August 4, 1862, for three hundred thousand
militia to serve for nine months. It consisted of companies
recruited in Addison, Rutland and Bennington counties, and
contained men from every town, except Brandon, which had
furnished a company (G) under Capt. (Gov.) E. J. Ormsbee, to
the Twelfth regiment. The headquarters of the various
companies were as follows: A, Bennington; B, Wallingford; C,
Manchester; D, Shoreham; E, Middlebury; F, Castleton; G,
Bristol; H, Rutland; I, Vergennes; K, Danby.
The regiment went into camp at Brattleboro, October 6,
1862, and was mustered into the United States service, October
21, and left next day for Washington, D. C., nine hundred
fifty-two strong. They were as fine a body of men as could be
found in the State, representing every walk in life. Every one
was a volunteer, and not one deserter is found on their roster.
A draft had been ordered by Governor Holbrook for September 11
in case the quotas of the towns were not raised by that time,
but no draft was needed. During the recruiting of the
regiment, an incident occurred in Benson, which, while local,
well illustrates the patriotic spirit which pervaded Vermont.
By a mistake in the office of the Adjutant General, the quota
of this town was five in excess of the real number. It was
discovered too late to be remedied, and the intelligence
reached the town on the evening of the 10th, that the selectmen
must proceed with the draft if the quota was not full by the
morning of the 11th. Messengers were dispatched, and the
people of the town summoned to consider the emergency. By ten
o'clock nearly every male inhabitant was present. The first
thing to do was to raise $1,000 to pay the usual bounty. As
this was not a legal meeting, it was promptly raised by
subscription, and the five men needed stepped into the breach,
and the dreaded stigma of a draft was averted.
The officers of the regiment were a fine and able body of
men. Few changes were found necessary during their term of
service, yet they could have been duplicated, twice over, from
the ranks. Of those now living it is not needful to speak.
Many of them are well known in the State, but of the dead the
spirit of comradeship compels a word.
Col. William T. Nichols of Rutland, was a brave and
efficient commander. His first service was as a volunteer in
the Rutland company of the First regiment. On his return he
was elected as representative in the Legislature, and again in
1862, but dropping all civil duties and legal practice, he
devoted himself to the service of his country. He is
remembered by his officers and men with affection and esteem,
as a good soldier and a gentleman. He died in April, 1882.
Charles Field of Dorset, was a Quartermaster, whose energy
and care for the wants of the regiment were as unfailing as his
native courtesy and gentle manners. Of this he gave signal
proof, when, on the morning of July 2, he appeared on Cemetery
Hill, with four wagon loads of coffee and hard tack. In doing
this he took the risk of disobeying orders to go to the rear,
with his train, and narrowly escaped capture, but his coming
was welcomed by hungry men, and he saved the brigade from
having to fight on empty stomachs.
Captain Munson of Manchester, company C, was a brave and
capable officer in whose hands the colors never wavered on the
line.
Capt. (Judge) Walter C. Dunton, company H, was as cool,
careful and devoted to duty on the field, as he was afterwards
distinguished for his ability and probity on the bench. He has
gone over to the majority, mourned as a true patriot and good
citizen.
The Fourteenth was attached to the defenses of Washington
and did picket duty, first at Alexandria, after the 11th of
December near Fairfax Court House, where it assisted in the
repulse of Stuart's cavalry raid, and from March to June, 1863,
at Wolf Run Shoals on the Occoquan river. This was the outer
picket line of Washington. This duty was interspersed with the
digging of rifle pits and the building of corduroy roads. The
duty, while not particularly dangerous, was arduous and
involved much exposure and hardship in winter weather. The
health of the regiment, however, was good and the record
remarkable. The entire loss by disease was only thirty-nine
men, far less than the other regiments of the brigade. Some of
this redounds to the credit of our excellent Surgeon, Dr. A. T.
Woodward, and his assistant, Dr. L. D. Ross. Something is also
to be attributed to the pluck and good spirit of the men, as is
illustrated in the medical record of company A. It was called
the "noisy company." There was always some sport on hand among
the boys of company A. They did not lose a man by sickness,
and Captain Gore had the satisfaction of bringing back to
Brattleboro every man he took out. Not a man was hit during
the battle, although they were in no better position,
apparently, than the rest of the line. The company must have
been out of the range of the terrible artillery fire from which
the regiment sustained its heavy loss at Gettysburg.
On the 20th of April, Gen. George J. Stannard, was
assigned to the command of the brigade and on June 25th, the
brigade, having been attached to the Third Division of the
First Corps, began the march to the North, which ended at
Gettysburg. June 30 it had reached Emmettsburg, Maryland,
having marched one hundred twenty miles in six days, gaining a
day on the First Corps, which had proceeded in advance of the
entire army.
The next day's march was made with quickened pace, for the
sound of guns to the north told that a battle was going on and
we were needed. The regiment reached the field too late to
participate in the fighting of the first day, and bivouacked in
a wheat field to the left of Cemetery Hill. At daylight of
July 2 the brigade joined the First Corps, which was reduced by
the casualties of the first day to two thousand four hundred
men. This march was severe and told heavily on our ranks. The
seven hundred twenty-two men who left Wolf Run Shoals, June 25,
were reduced to five hundred. Two hundred and twenty-two had
been compelled to fall out, unable to bear the killing pace.
Late in the afternoon of the 2nd, the brigade was called
into action on the left center, to repel the attack of Gen. A.
P. Hill. A battery had already been captured and was re-taken
by the Thirteenth Vermont. Another was in peril and was saved
as the Fourteenth double-quicked to its rescue. The regiment
remained in this position during the rest of the engagement.
In the opening cannonade of the third day the Fourteenth had
several non-commissioned officers and men killed by the
explosion of a battery caisson, near which they were lying.
Colonel Nichols obtained permission to move his regiment
forward about ten rods from the main line, where they lay
during the terrific cannonade of the third day. When the gray
line of Pickett's massive charge, seventeen thousand strong,
moved down upon the position of the Fourteenth, they lay
concealed on the ground, until the line was within sixty yards.
The men rose at command and gave a staggering and unexpected
volley in the face of the charging column. The direction of
the advancing charge was changed, and swung off to the north,
until their right flank was beyond the right of the Fourteenth.
It was at this time that General Stannard's quick eye saw his
chance for a flank movement, and delivered it with such fatal
effect upon Pickett. The Fourteenth moved a short distance by
the flank to the north, and obliquely from the main line. The
Thirteenth, followed by the Sixteenth, changed front on the
first company and moved out at right angles from the line and
charged forward. The Fourteenth kept up a rapid fire at close
range and closed up the pen in which Pickett's right wing was
caught and crushed.
After the main charge was repulsed, General Wilcox's
Brigade was seen coming down in front of the position of the
Fourteenth. The Sixteenth was coming back to get into line to
receive the charge, but Colonel Veazey saw an opportunity to
strike them on the front, which he did in splendid style. Four
companies of the Fourteenth, A, F, D and I, under Lieutenant-
Colonel Rose, formed on his left and assisted in capturing most
of the Rebel Brigade. So it fell to the lot of the Fourteenth,
with the other regiments, to uphold the honor of Vermont on
this hotly contested field, and at this critical time in the
battle.
It can with truth be said, that they
"Nothing common did, or mean,
Upon that memorable scene."
General Doubleday, in his official report, says of these
troops, which had never been in action before: "These movements
were executed in open field, under very heavy fire of shell,
grape and musketry, and were performed with the promptness and
decision of battalion drill." The losses sustained by the
Fourteenth in this engagement, were the largest in the brigade.
Nineteen were killed in action; nine died from wounds received
in action; total, twenty-seven. The wounded numbered seventy-
four.
The Fourteenth joined in the pursuit of Lee after the
battle and made some hard marches, one, on the 7th of July, is
recalled of thirty-five miles continuously, ending in rain, mud
and darkness, on the top of the Catoctin Mountain, after
midnight. July 18 the regiment was released and started for
home, and was mustered out at Brattleboro, July 30, 1863.
Vermont does well to preserve the names and deeds of her
soldiers in the Civil War among her most precious archives,
that the spirit of her sons, more immortal than their deeds,
may be preserved to future generations. Such were the young
men of Vermont in 1863. Such may they ever be when their
country needs their service.
The average age of the regiment was a fraction over
twenty-five years. Three hundred thirty two were from sixteen
to twenty-one years of age.
All hail to the Vermont veterans, whose locks are growing
gray, but who in youth's golden prime, held country dearest of
all. May their generations never cease.

JULY 1ST - 3RD, 1863
Gettysburg, Pa., July 1-3, 1863. Army of the Potomac.
After the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville the
opinion became prevalent through the South that Lee's Army of
Northern Virginia was more than a match for the Federal Army
of the Potomac, and a clamor arose for an aggressive movement.
There were at this time potent reasons why Lee should assume
the offensive. An invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania would
have a tendency to draw troops from Grant at Vicksburg and
Rosecrans in Tennessee to repel the invaders, thus relieving
the pressure on the Confederate forces under Pemberton,
Johnston and Bragg. If the invasion should prove to be
successful European nations might be persuaded to recognize
the Confederacy, loans could be obtained and probably aid
secured to open the Southern ports, then in a state of
blockade. All these reasons and possibilities were carefully
weighed and toward the last of May Lee decided to make the
invasion. Since the battle of Chancellorsville he had been
lying at Fredericksburg, recruiting and reorganizing his army,
which on June 1, numbered, according to Confederate reports,
88,754 men. It was divided into three corps, as follows: The
1st, commanded by Lieut.-Gen. James Longstreet, was composed
of the divisions of McLaws, Pickett and Hood, and the reserve
artillery under Col. J. B. Walton. The 2nd, under the command
of Lieut.-Gen. Richard S. Ewell, included the divisions of
Early, Johnson and Rodes, the reserve artillery being in
charge of Col. J. T. Brown. The 3rd, commanded by Lieut.-Gen.
Ambrose P. Hill consisted of the divisions of Anderson, Heth
and Pender, and the reserve artillery under Col. R. L. Walker.
In addition to these three corps was the cavalry under the
command of Maj.- Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, and consisting of the
brigades of Fitzhugh Lee, W. H. F. Lee, Hampton, Jenkins, W.
E. Jones and Imboden, and six batteries of horse artillery
under the command of Maj. R. F. Beckham.
Having decided to undertake an offensive movement, Lee
chose a route along the eastern base of the Blue Ridge, from
which he could at any time threaten Washington or Baltimore,
hoping by this means to detain the Union army in a position to
defend the national capital, or failing in that to draw it
after him and into a general engagement on a field of his own
selection. He accordingly began the concentration of his army
at Culpeper leaving Hill at Fredericksburg to keep up a show
of force there in order to keep Hooker from ascertaining what
was going on until it was too late for him to interfere.
Through the medium of despatches captured in the affair at
Brandy Station on June 9, Hooker learned that the major part
of Lee's army was at Culpeper. He proposed to cross over the
river and attack Hill, but the movement was forbidden by Gen.
Halleck. He then suggested a movement against Richmond to
force Lee to recall his army in that direction, but this, too,
was forbidden, though either might have been successful.
Hooker then sent the 3rd and 5th corps to guard the fords on
the Rappahannock, to prevent the Confederates from crossing,
and on the night of the 13th, moved his forces northward to
Manassas Junction and Thoroughfare gap. This compelled Lee to
change his plans and select the longer route through the
Shenandoah Valley. The Federal force at Winchester, commanded
by Gen. Milroy, was driven out on the 15th, Ewell pursuing
across the Potomac and occupying Hagerstown and Sharpsburg.
About the same time the Union troops at Harper's Ferry and
Martinsburg were withdrawn to Maryland heights, thus leaving
the valley open to Lee, who crossed the Potomac at
Williamsport and Shepherdstown on the 24th and 25th, united
his columns at Hagerstown, and pushed on toward Chambersburg,
Pa. On the 25th and 26th, Hooker crossed the Potomac at
Edwards' ferry and the next day Reynolds, with three corps,
occupied the passes of South mountain, thus forestalling any
attempt of Lee to pass to the eastward. To cut the enemy's
communications with Virginia, Hooker ordered the 12th corps,
then near Harper's Ferry, to march to that place, where it
would be joined by the forces under Gen. Kelley on Maryland
heights, and then, in connection with Reynolds, operate on
Lee's rear. Again Halleck interposed an objection, deeming it
inadvisable to abandon Harper's Ferry, and Hooker asked to be
relieved from command of the army. He was succeeded by Maj.-
Gen. George G. Meade on June 28. The Army of the Potomac was
then organized as follows: Maj.-Gen. John F. Reynolds,
formerly commanding the 1st corps, was placed in command of
the left wing, Maj.-Gen. Abner Doubleday taking command of the
corps, which consisted of three divisions under Brig.-Gens.
James S. Wadsworth, John C. Robinson and Thomas A. Rowley, and
the artillery brigade commanded by Col. Charles S. Wainright.
The 2nd corps, commanded by Maj.-Gen. Winfield S. Hancock,
embraced the three divisions under Brig.-Gens. John C.
Caldwell, John Gibbon and Alexander Hays, and the artillery
brigade of Capt. John G. Hazard. The 3rd corps, Maj.-Gen.
Daniel E. Sickles, was made up of the divisions of Maj.-Gen.
David B. Birney and Brig.-Gen. Andrew A. Humphreys, and the
artillery brigade commanded by Capt. George E. Randolph. The
5th corps, Maj.-Gen. George Sykes, was composed of the three
divisions of Brig.-Gens. James Barnes, Romeyn B. Ayres and
Samuel W. Crawford, and the artillery brigade of Capt. A. P.
Martin. The 6th corps, Maj.-Gen. John Sedgwick, embraced the
divisions of Brig.-Gen. Horatio G. Wright, Brig.-Gen. Albion
P. Howe and Maj.-Gen. John Newton, and the artillery brigade
of Col. Charles H. Tompkins. The 11th corps, Maj.-Gen. Oliver
O. Howard, included the divisions of Brig.-Gens. Francis C.
Barlow and Adolph von Steinwehr, Maj.-Gen. Carl Schurz, and
the artillery brigade commanded by Maj. Thomas W. Osborn. The
12th corps, Maj.-Gen. Henry W. Slocum was composed of the two
divisions of Brig.-Gens. Alpheus S. Williams and John W.
Geary, and the artillery brigade under command of Lieut. E. D.
Muhlenberg. The cavalry corps, Maj.-Gen. Alfred Pleasonton,
included the three divisions commanded by Brig.-Gens. John
Buford, David McM. Gregg and Judson Kilpatrick, and the horse
artillery under Capt. James M. Robertson. Altogether the army
had 65 batteries numbering 370 guns. Of these 212 were with
the infantry, 50 with the cavalry, and an artillery reserve of
108 under the command of Brig-Gen. Robert O. Tyler, Brig.-Gen.
Henry J. Hunt being the chief of artillery. Meade took
command in the midst of a campaign, and when the army was
preparing to move through a region with which he was but
little acquainted. For the time he decided to follow Hooker's
plans, the only departure there from being to recall Slocum's
corps from the Confederate rear, with orders to join the main
column. Without consulting Halleck he ordered the troops at
Maryland heights, now under the command of Gen. French, to
move up to Frederick, where they were to act as a reserve when
the army moved forward. Such information as he could obtain
regarding the enemy's movements located Longstreet at
Chambersburg, Ewell at Carlisle and York, where he was
preparing to attack Harrisburg, and Hill in the vicinity of
Cashtown. Conjecturing that Harrisburg was Lee's objective
point, Meade determined to move directly toward that place and
if possible strike the enemy before he could cross the
Susquehanna. Orders to that effect were issued to the various
corps commanders on the evening of the 28th and early the next
morning the army was in motion.
Stuart's cavalry had been sent on a raid around the Union
army, in the hope that by threatening its rear he could delay
the crossing of the Potomac until Lee could capture
Harrisburg. But he encountered Federal troops in so many
unexpected places that his raid was prolonged to such an
extent he did not arrive at Gettysburg until the battle was
almost over. Being thus deprived of his cavalry, Lee had no
way of obtaining information of the movements of the Federals,
and up to the 28th, supposed them to be still on the south side
of the Potomac. On the afternoon of that day he ordered Hill
and Longstreet to join Ewell for an advance on Harrisburg.
Late that night a scout came to Lee's headquarters with the
information that Hooker had been superseded by Meade, that the
Union army was north of the Potomac and in a position to
seriously menace the Confederate line of communications.
These tidings changed the whole situation. In his report Lee
says: "In the absence of the cavalry, it was impossible to
ascertain his intentions, but to deter him from advancing
farther west, and intercepting our communication with
Virginia, it was determined to concentrate the army east of
the mountains." Instructions were hurried to Hill and
Longstreet to move to Cashtown, 8 miles northwest of
Gettysburg, Ewell was recalled from Carlisle, and Pickett was
left at Chambersburg to guard the rear until relieved by
Imboden. Owing to rainy weather these movements were
performed somewhat leisurely, but Heth's division reached
Cashtown on the afternoon of the 29th. That evening the Union
army was in position just south of the state line, with the
right at New Windsor and the left at Emmitsburg. Buford's
cavalry division was on the extreme left, with his advance
well toward Gettysburg. Buford sent Merritt's brigade to
Mechanicstown to guard the trains and issued orders for
Gamble's and Devin's brigades to move early on the following
morning to Gettysburg, where he expected to find some of
Kilpatrick's cavalry. The two brigades entered the town about
noon, and found a detachment of the enemy within half a mile
of the place. This was Pettigrew's brigade of Heth's
division, which had been sent from Cashtown to procure
supplies, but finding the town in possession of the Union
forces hurriedly fell back on the main body of the division.
Scouting parties were sent out in all directions, bringing in
information showing that the Confederates were unquestionably
aiming to concentrate in the vicinity of Gettysburg, and
Buford so notified Meade that evening. Pickets were thrown
out toward Cashtown and Hunterstown, and the ridges west of
the town occupied in anticipation of an attack the next day.
Meade's chief objects had been to force Lee to forego his
intention of crossing the Susquehanna, and to bring on an
engagement at the first opportunity. The field selected for
such an engagement was along the banks of Pipe creek, a little
stream 15 miles south of Gettysburg. With a view to meeting
Lee at this point the different commands were so placed as to
be easily concentrated along Pipe creek, while at the same
time they were held in readiness to move elsewhere as the
occasion might demand. On the evening of June 30, the 1st
corps was at Marsh creek, about halfway between Emmitsburg and
Gettysburg; the 2nd and 3rd were in the vicinity of Taneytown,
the 5th was at Union Mills, southeast of Taneytown, the 6th
was at Manchester, still farther east; the 11th was near
Emmitsburg, Kilpatrick's cavalry was at Hanover, and Gregg's
at Westminster. The information received from Buford caused a
change in Meade's plans. Reynolds was ordered to move the
1st, 3rd and 11th corps to the support of Buford, Sickles
relieving the last at Emmitsburg, and the other corps
commanders instructed to move toward Gettysburg.
The town of Gettysburg is located about 7 miles from the
Maryland line, and some 10 miles east of South mountain. It
is in a valley, surrounded by broken granite ridges. On one
of these, about half a mile west of the town, stood the
Lutheran seminary, the elevation being known as Seminary
ridge. It was covered with an open woods and at the north end
is a knoll called Oak hill. South is a chain of hills
beginning about 3 miles from town and running almost due north
for a distance of 2 miles when it makes a curve to the east.
At the south end of this chain is Round Top, just east of this
is a smaller hill called Little Round Top; at the curve is
Cemetery hill, while at the eastern extremity of the range is
Culp's hill. About 500 yards west of Little Round Top, in the
forks of Plum creek is a hill known as the Devil's Den. It is
steep and rocky on the eastern side sloping away gradually to
the west and is about 100 lower than Little Round Top. The
summits of nearly all the ridges were covered with huge
boulders, forming a natural protection to sharpshooters, etc.
Near the western base of Cemetery hill was Ziegler's grove,
and along the base of the ridge farther south were the Weikert
and Trostle houses. Roads enter the town from almost every
direction. Through the valley between the Round Tops and
Seminary ridge ran the Emmitsburg road; along the eastern side
of the ridge was the road to Taneytown, running southeast,
between Cemetery and Culp's hills, was the Baltimore pike.
These three roads came together near the cemetery and entered
the town from the south. The Fairfield and Chambersburg roads
diverged at the west side of town, the former running
southwest and the latter northwest over Seminary ridge. From
the north came the Harrisburg, Carlisle and Middletown roads,
and Black's turnpike, while the Oxford and Bonaughton roads
entered the town from the east. On the east side of town is
Rock creek and west of Seminary ridge is Willoughby run, both
flowing southward.
At daybreak on July 1, Buford held the roads and ridges
to the west of Gettysburg with Devin's and Gamble's brigades,
his vedettes being thrown out far enough to give timely
warning of the enemy's approach. About 8 a.m. the scouts
reported the enemy advancing in force from the direction of
Cashtown. This was Heth's entire division, which had been
sent forward to occupy Gettysburg. Gamble's brigade was
formed on the left from the Fairfield road to the railroad
cut, with one section of Calef's battery near the left and the
rest of it on the Chambersburg pike. Devin formed on the
right, extending the line to Oak hill, a portion of the men
being dismounted and thrown forward as skirmishers. Heth
advanced on the Chambersburg road, with Archer's brigade to
the right and Davis, to the left of the pike, and the brigades
of Pettigrew and Brockenbrough in support. About 9 o'clock
Buford had three cannon shots fired as a signal for his
skirmishers to open fire on the advancing Confederates, and
the battle of Gettysburg was begun. Buford had been notified
that Reynolds was coming to his support and determined to hold
his ground until the reinforcements arrived. When the sound
of the firing reached Reynolds his advance, Wadsworth's
division, was within a mile of the town. This command was
hurried forward across the fields, Reynolds riding ahead to
Seminary ridge, where he met Buford and learned the positions
of the contending forces. As soon as Wadsworth arrived three
regiments of Cutler's brigade were formed north of the
railroad cut and the other two south of the pike, Hall's
battery relieving Calef's, which had almost exhausted its
supply of ammunition. Meredith's "Iron Brigade" was sent
against Archer on the left, and Devin's brigade of cavalry was
faced north to meet Ewell, who was known to be coming up from
Heidlersburg. Cutler's line had barely been formed when it
was struck on the front and right by Davis. Col. Fowler who
was in command of the two regiments south of the road, changed
front, drove Davis from the field, and took possession of the
railroad cut, capturing the two regiments which occupied it.
Reynolds sent word to Howard to hurry forward the 11th corps,
and then rode over to where Meredith and Archer were
contending for a piece of timber, known as McPherson's woods,
on the east side of Willoughby run. While directing the
movements of this brigade Reynolds was killed by a shot from a
Confederate sharpshooter, and Meredith was wounded by the
explosion of a shell in front of his horse. Col. Morrow, of
the 24th Mich., then took command, charged into the woods,
captured Archer and about 800 of his men, and forced the rest
to retire across the creek. By this time all of the 1st corps
was on the field. Stone's brigade of Rowley's division was
sent to the left of the pike, where it drove out the enemy's
skirmishers and took position behind a ridge, being partly
sheltered by a stone fence. Biddle's brigade was posted on
the left of McPherson's wood, with Cooper's battery on the
right, while Robinson's division was stationed in reserve on
Seminary ridge. Reynolds' battery relieved Hall's and Calef's
again joined Gamble's cavalry, which was also in reserve.
The enemy had also received heavy reinforcements,
Pender's division coming up from Cashtown and Ewell's corps
from Carlisle. Heth reformed his division south of the
Chambersburg road, with Pender in support, and nine batteries
stationed on commanding points west of Willoughby run. Lee
had notified Ewell not to bring on a general engagement until
the entire army was brought up, but on arriving on the field
and finding Hill's corps already engaged he ordered Rodes'
division to take position on Seminary ridge and Carter's
battalion of artillery to occupy Oak hill. It was now nearly
2 p.m., when the batteries on Oak hill opened upon the Union
lines an enfilading fire that forced Wadsworth to retire
Cutler to Seminary ridge, where he was joined by Robinson's
whole division to resist the advance of Rodes, who was
following along the ridge with O'Neal's and Doles' brigades on
the eastern slope and Iverson's, Daniel's and Ramseur's on the
western. At 2:30 Rodes gave the order to attack. Iverson was
confronted by Paul's brigade and O'Neal by Baxter's. O'Neal
was soon repulsed and Baxter went to the assistance of Paul.
At the same time Cutler swung his line around so as to attack
Iverson on the right flank. Baxter's men from the shelter of
a stone fence fired a volley at short range into the
Confederate ranks, leaving 500 of Iverson's command dead and
wounded on the field, and the rest surrendered. About 1,000
prisoners and 3 regimental colors were taken in this part of
the engagement. Howard had arrived with the 11th corps about
noon and assumed command. Shurz took command of the corps and
Brig.-Gen. Alexander Schimmelfennig of the 3rd division. This
division and Barlow's were thrown forward on the right to
check Ewell's advance, leaving Steinwehr's, with two
batteries, as a reserve and rallying point on Cemetery hill.
Upon hearing of the death of Reynolds Meade ordered
Hancock to proceed from Taneytown to Gettysburg and assume
command of the left wing. Hancock arrived about 3 p.m. and
found the Union troops retiring before the vastly superior
numbers of the enemy. Early's division had secured a position
on the flank and rear of the 11th corps, the artillery on the
hills east of Rock creek enfilading its entire line. Up to
this time the assaults of the enemy had been made without
concert at various points along the line, giving the Federals
an opportunity to repulse one before the next was commenced.
But about 4 o'clock the whole Confederate line advanced-50,000
against probably 15,000. The odds were too great and orders
were issued to fall back to Cemetery hill. The men retired in
good order, fighting as they went, the only confusion being
that which resulted by crowding the narrow streets of the
town. Wadsworth's division was sent to occupy Culp's hill and
skirmishers were thrown forward to the west side of the town
to hold the Confederates in check until the new line of battle
could be formed. About 5 o'clock Williams' division of the
12th corps came up and was stationed on the right and rear of
Wadsworth. Geary's division arrived soon afterward and was
sent to occupy Little Round Top and the ridge running toward
Cemetery hill, in a position commandmg the Emmitsburg and
Taneytown roads. Stannard's brigade of Rowley's division also
came up and joined the command, but too late to participate in
the fight. These reinforcements greatly encouraged those who
had borne the brunt of the battle all day, and the trains were
sent to the rear out of the way to prepare for the action
which was to come on the morrow. As the day drew to a close
and it became evident that the enemy did not intend to renew
the attack, Hancock turned over the command to Slocum and set
out for Meade's headquarters at Taneytown. Orders were given
for all the different commands to march at once to Gettysburg,
Meade set out for the scene of action, and about 1 a.m. on the
2nd reached the field.
Notwithstanding Lee's order on the evening of the 1st to
"attack the enemy in the morning as early as practicable," the
greater part of the day was spent in maneuvering for position.
Longstreet did not want to attack until the arrival of
Pickett's division. As a matter of fact Pickett did not come
up in time to take any part in the second days, battle, and
Law's brigade of Hood's division did not arrive on the field
until noon on the 2nd. Considerable delay was incurred in
moving the artillery so as to keep out of sight of the Union
signal station on Little Round Top, so that it was the middle
of the afternoon before the Confederates were in position to
begin the general assault on Meade's flanks according to Lee's
plans. This delay cost them dear in the end, as Meade's
different commands were hurrying to the front and when the
attack did come there was an opposition too strong to be
overcome. As soon as possible after his arrival Meade looked
over the ground and at dawn he commenced the formation of his
lines for an attack on the Confederate left. The 12th corps
was sent to the right of Wadsworth on Culp's hill, but Slocum
and Gen. G. K. Warren, who had served as chief engineer under
Hooker, and now held that position on Meade's staff, advised
against such a movement. Meade, however, was determined to
fight aggressively and began to arrange his troops for an
assault on the enemy's left. Some time was necessarily spent
in the preparations and before they were completed Lee
attacked both ends of the Union line, thus forcing Meade to
assume the defensive, which finally proved to be to his
advantage. The Union line was formed as follows: Slocum on
the extreme right; Wadsworth's division on Cemetery hill, with
the other two divisions of the 1st corps at the base;
Hancock's corps, which had come up during the night, next on
the left; then Sickles; Sykes on the extreme left, while
Sedgwick, who had made a march of 35 miles, arriving just
before the attack commenced, was stationed in reserve on the
Taneytown road behind the Round Tops, where he could rest his
men until called on to strengthen some part of the line.
The Confederate line was in the form of a concave.
Longstreet on the left was opposite the Round Tops; Hill in
the center occupied Seminary ridge; Ewell on the right held
the town and the ridges east of Rock creek. Along the north
side of Little Round Top ran a road which crossed the
Emmitsburg road almost at right angles near the center of the
open country lying between the two lines. On the south side
of this road and east of the Emmitsburg road was a large peach
orchard, to the east of which was a wheatfield. Sickles moved
his corps to the cross roads, forming Humphrey's division
along the Emmitsburg road and Birney's in the peach orchard
and on a ridge south of the cross-road, Ward's brigade being
thrown forward to the Devil's Den. As this position was some
distance in advance of the main line, and subsequently proved
to be untenable, there has been some controversy as to whether
Sickles occupied it by order of the commanding general or
selected it himself. It is not the province of this work,
however, to settle responsibilities, but to tell what
happened. Birney's skirmishers were engaged almost from the
time his line was formed until the main attack of the
Confederates about 4 p.m. When that attack was opened
Longstreet directed a severe artillery fire against the two
sides of the angle formed by Sickles' line, and this was
followed by a fierce assault on Ward, who was overlapped by
the enemy's line and compelled retire. The attack was then
extended toward the peach orchard and some of the enemy's
batteries secured positions from which an enfilading fire was
poured into the two lines forming the angle. Humphreys sent a
brigade and later a regiment to the assistance of Birney, but
soon afterward his own line was vigorously assailed by
Barksdale's brigade on the north and Kershaw's on the west,
making it impossible to render any further aid to Birney, who
was now hard pressed. Graham's brigade was driven from the
orchard, Sickles had lost a leg and Graham was wounded and a
prisoner in the hands of the enemy. The Federal batteries,
commanded by Maj. McGilvery, and which was stationed on the
cross-road below the orchard, met the Confederate advance by
an effective fire, but in vain. One of the batteries was
captured by Kershaw's men, but the 141st Pa. made a gallant
charge and recaptured the guns, bringing them off by hand.
Still the Confederates pressed on, and as a last resort
McGilvery ordered Biglow to sacrifice his battery to save the
rest. With the courage born of desperation he obeyed the
order, fighting until the enemy approached within a few feet,
when he managed to withdraw, but with severe loss. This left
the orchard in the hands of the enemy, which brought them on
Humphreys' flank and Birney's right. Reinforcements were
called for and Hancock sent in Caldwell's division, but it was
compelled to fall back after losing heavily in killed and
wounded, two brigade commanders, Cross and Zook, being among
the killed. Ayres' division next went in, and, although he
struck the enemy on the flank, doubled up their line and
forced them back, he was in the end compelled to make a
hurried retreat to save his command from annihilation.
This fight on the left was a struggle for the possession
of Little Round Top. About the time that Ward was outflanked
Warren rode over to the signal station there to obtain a
better view of what was going on. Seeing the importance of
the position which was then undefended, he assumed the
responsibility of ordering Vincent's brigade of Barnes'
division to occupy the crest, at the same time notifying Meade
of what he had done and asking for a force sufficient to hold
it. As Ward retired the Confederates, made a rush for the
hill, but were met on the top by Vincent's men who repulsed
the first assault with the bayonet. The 140th N. Y.,
belonging to Weed's brigade of Barnes' division, and Hazlett's
battery were then sent to the aid of Vincent. Having failed
in the first attempt to carry the position, the enemy next
made an effort to turn the left, but were met by the 2Oth Me.,
under Col. Chamberlain. At first the Unionists were forced
back by the main strength of superior numbers, but Svkes
hurried a brigade to the relief of Chamberlain, and a brigade
of the Pennsylvania reserves arriving about the same time, the
Confederates were driven from the hill with a loss of 500
captured and 1,000 stands of arms taken, besides a large
number in killed and wounded. After the 3rd corps had been
driven from the peach orchard the enemy began to form in front
of the wheatfield for another assault on Little Round Top.
McCandless' brigade of Crawford's division, led by Crawford
himself, charged and drove them to the farther side of the
wheatfield, where they found shelter behind a stone fence. In
the meantime two brigades-Eustis' and Nevin's-of Sedgwick's
corps had come forward and during the time of Crawford's
charge took a position in front of the ridge. The sight of
these fresh troops had a discouraging effect on the
Confederates and they withdrew from the contest.
Through some miscalculation Ewell did not begin his
attack on the Federal right until after Longstreet's repulse.
The plan of attack here was for Johnson to move against Culp's
hill, and as soon as he was fairly engaged Early and Rodes
were to assault the works on Cemetery hill. When the fight
commenced on the left Ewell opened with his artillery and kept
up the fire for about an hour before making any further
movement against the Union lines. In this time Meade, under
the impression that the demonstration on his right was merely
a feint, withdrew from that portion of his line all of the
12th corps except Greene's brigade, and sent it to the support
of Sykes. About 5 p.m. Johnson crossed Rock creek and
advanced against Greene and Wadsworth. Greene held out until
he was reinforced, when the enemy was driven from his front,
though Johnson occupied the intrenchments that had been
abandoned by the 12th corps, giving him a strong position on
the right flank of the Union army. While this was taking
place Early sent the brigades of Hays and Hoke, the latter
commanded by Col. Avery, up the valley between Culp's and
Cemetery hills to assault the Federal position on the latter.
The advance was somewhat impetuous driving back Von Gilsa's
and Ames' brigades, which were stationed at the foot of the
hill. In the rear of this infantry line were Wiedrich's and
Ricketts' batteries, which were next attacked, the former
being captured and 2 guns of the latter spiked. Farther up
the hill were the batteries of Stevens, Reynolds and Stewart,
the officers of which had orders from Col. Wainright to "fight
the guns to the last." As the enemy advanced in the face of
these guns they were met by a storm of canister Stevens'
battery especially doing effective work. Hancock voluntarily
sent Carroll's brigade to the support of the batteries, which
were also reinforced by the 106th Pa. and a detachment from
Schurz' command. The arrival of these troops carried dismay
into the enemy's lines, which had not been properly supported,
although Gordon's brigade had been assigned to that duty, and
a retreat was ordered. As they fell back they were followed
by a shower of canister from the batteries, which killed and
wounded a large number and threw the line into some confusion.
It is said that the Confederate organization known as the
"Louisiana Tigers," went into this fight with 1,750 men, of
whom only 150 returned unscathed. Rodes was delayed in making
his attack, having to move out of Gettysburg by the flank,
then change front and march some distance. By the time he was
in position to cooperate with Early the latter had met defeat.
The day closed with the Union forces still in possession of
the ridge, though the enemy had gained some advantage on the
right, as Johnson still held the intrenchments of the 12th
corps, which threatened the safety of Meade's army by cutting
off the line of retreat if such a movement became necessary.
This victory, meager as it was, offered Lee sufficient
incentive to continue the contest the next morning. That
night a council of war was held, at which it was unanimously
decided to "stay and fight it out." It is said that Meade was
somewhat displeased at the decision, because he wanted to
retire to the ground previously selected at Pipe creek.
However this may have been he acquiesced in the judgment of
his corps commanders, and preparations were immediately
commenced looking to the coming engagement.
Lee's general plan of battle for the 3rd was similar to
that of the preceding day. Ewell was to open the fight by
pressing the advantage already gained on the extreme right,
and after his attack was well under way the main assault was
to be made on the center. Johnson was reinforced by three
brigades and instructed to begin his attack at daybreak. But
a disagreeable surprise was in store for him. Geary returned
to Culp's hill about midnight and learned that his
intrenchments were in the hands of the enemy. He took a
position with Greene and began making arrangements to recover
his works at the earliest opportunity the next morning.
Batteries were brought up during the remaining hours of
darkness and stationed at all the points bearing on Johnson,
and as soon as it was light enough to distinguish objects the
guns opened fire. Johnson was without artillery, so he
determined to risk all on a charge. The charge was gallantly
made, but it was bravely met by Kane's brigade of Geary's
division, and a severe contest was waged for several hours.
Williams' division, now commanded by Col. Thomas H. Ruger,
came up and gained a position where it could strike Johnson on
the flank, and about the same time Shaler's brigade of
Newton's division joined Kane, when Johnson, finding the
conflict an unequal one, withdrew to Rock creek, leaving Geary
and Ruger in possession of their old line. This part of the
third day's battle was ended long before Lee's troops were in
position to assault Cemetery hill, and again that concert of
action, so essential to Confederate success, was lost.
Pickett's division, which had not yet been engaged, was
selected to lead the charge against the Union center.
Longstreet, in his report, thus describes the arrangement of
troops and plan of the assault: "Orders were given to Maj.-
Gen. Pickett to form his line under the best cover that he
could get from the enemy's batteries, and so that the center
of the assaulting column would arrive at the salient of the
enemy's position, Gen. Pickett's line to be the guide and to
attack the enemy's defenses, and Gen. Pettigrew, in command of
Heth's division, moving on the same line as Gen. Pickett, was
to assault the salient at the same moment. Pickett's division
was arranged, two brigades in the front line, supported by his
third brigade, and Wilcox's brigade was ordered to move in
rear of his right flank, to protect it from any force that the
enemy might attempt to move against it. Heth's division, under
command of Brig.-Gen. Pettigrew was arranged in two lines, and
these supported by part of Maj.-Gen. Pender's division, under
Maj.-Gen. Trimble. All of the batteries of the 1st and 3rd
corps, and some of those of the 2nd, were put into the best
positions for effective fire upon the point of attack and the
hill occupied by the enemy's left. Col. Walton, chief of
artillery of the 1st corps, and Col. Alexander had posted our
batteries and agreed with the artillery officers of the other
corps upon a signal for the batteries to open." At 1 p.m. two
cannon shots were heard in quick succession. This was the
signal for the Confederate batteries to open fire, and
immediately 150 guns commenced their deadly work. The object
was to silence the Union guns, and when this was accomplished
Pickett was to move forward to the grand assault which was to
decide the fate of the battle. Owing to the convex form of
the Federal position only 80 guns could find room on the ridge
to respond to the enemy's fire. That number was already in
position and for two hours was waged an artillery duel seldom
if ever equaled in the annals of wars. The enemy's fire was
very effective, although many of the shells went high and
exploded in the open ground to the rear of the ridge, forcing
the artillery reserve to move to a better protected position
Meade was compelled to change the location of his
headquarters, a number of guns were disabled, though they were
quickly replaced by others brought up from the reserve, about
a dozen caissons were blown up and after each of these
explosions the exultant yells of the Confederates could be
heard along their entire line. During this time Pickett's men
were in the wood on Seminary ridge, waiting for the command to
move forward across the 1,400 yards of open ground in their
endeavor to pierce the Union center. The Union generals knew
that this fierce artillery fire was but the prelude to a
charge and placed their commands in position to receive the
shock. About 3 o'clock Hunt ordered the guns to cease firing,
partly to replenish his supply of ammunition, and partly to
see what the enemy would do. Thinking that the batteries were
silenced Pickett emerged from the woods and began his advance,
his men marching with such even step that for a little while
the whole Union line stood in silent admiration of this
display of heroism on the part of men who were marching to
certain death. But when about half of the open space had been
crossed the Federal batteries again opened with telling
effect. Great gaps were torn in Pickett's line by the shot
and shell, but they were quickly closed up as the line pressed
forward. When the Confederates crossed the Emmitsburg road
canister came into use, and at the same time McGilvery's guns
on Little Round Top opened a destructive, enfilading fire on
the advancing lines. Still on they came. Hancock's
skirmishers near the Emmitsburg road were driven back like
chaff before the wind. The enemy had now come within musket
range and Hays' division poured volley after volley into the
left, causing it to waver so that it fell behind the main
column. Before Pickett's first line reached the stone wall,
behind which the main line of Meade's army was posted,
Stannard found an opportunity to make a flank attack with his
Vermont brigade. Quickly changing front with two of his three
regiments, he brought them perpendicular to the enemy's line
and sent in a volley that forced Kemper's brigade staggering
back on the center. This was closely followed up by Col.
Gates, of the 20th N. Y. militia, throwing Pickett's left into
confusion and causing many to surrender, while others threw
away their arms and took to their heels.
Although the two ends of the line were badly disorganized
by these flank attacks, the center kept bravely on to the
stone wall. Gen. Armistead, whose brigade was in this portion
of the line, was one of the first to gain the wall. Placing
his hat on the point of his sword he waved it above his head
and shouted: "Give,em the cold steel, boys!" His example was
speedily followed and with fixed bayonets the Confederates
came pouring over the wall. One of the batteries was
captured, the enemy's flag floated for a few brief moments
over the Federal works, while the "rebel yell" resounded on
all sides. But their triumph was of short duration. The
place where the Union line was broken was directly in front of
Webb's brigade of Gibbon's division. Webb rallied the 72nd
Pa. and led it against the enemy; part of the 71st Pa. gained
a position behind a stone wall on the right, from which they
poured a murderous fire into Armistead's flank. The remainder
of this regiment and the 68th Pa. found shelter in a clump of
trees and sent a storm of leaden hail into the ranks of the
assailants. Col. Hall, commanding Gibbon's 3rd brigade, made a
dashing charge with two regiments of his own command, the 15th
Mass., the 1st Minn., and the 19th Me. of the 1st brigade,
that drove the enemy from the works and turned defeat into
vitory. Back across the open space, over which they had
marched with heroic determination but a short time before, the
Confederates now fled in the wildest disorder. Of Pickett's
three brigade commanders Armistead and Garnett were killed and
Kemper severely wounded. Nearly three-fourths of his command
were either killed, wounded or captured. As the enemy
retreated, Stannard, who had held his position during the
action, repeated his flank movement and captured a large part
of Wilcox's brigade, which was coming up to Pickett's support.
Lee's grand coup de main had failed.
While the main battle was in progress in the center there
were sharp cavalry engagements on both flanks. On the left
part of Kilpatrick's division made a charge through the woods
near Devil's Den, against the infantry and artillery stationed
there. In this action Kilpatrick lost a number in killed and
wounded, among the former being Gen. Farnsworth. The affair
on the right was of greater magnitude. Four of Stuart's
brigades were ordered to cover Ewell's left, and to make a
demonstration to divert attention from the main attack. Then,
if Pickett's charge proved successful, he was to fall on the
rear of the Federals or harass their retreat. Stuart planted
several batteries on the hills commanding the Baltimore pike
and made other preparations to attack the minute he heard that
Pickett had carried the works on Cemetery hill. Custer's
brigade of Kilpatrick's division became engaged, although he
was under orders to join his command on the left, and
continued the fight until he was relieved by McIntosh's
brigade of Gregg's division. One of Stuart's batteries was
posted near the buildings of the Rummel farm and Mclntosh
undertook to drive it away. He soon encountered a strong body
of skirmishers and sent back for reinforcements. Randol's and
Pennington's batteries were moved to the front and soon
silenced the enemy's batteries, when McIntosh moved up and
occupied the position. W. H. Lee's brigade now came up to the
support of the skirmish line and succeeded in repulsing the
1st N. J., whose ammunition was exhausted. The 7th Mich. was
also driven back and it began to look dark for McIntosh, when
the 5th Mich. made a charge on Lee and soon had him on the
retreat. Just then Hampton's brigade, which had been kept in
reserve by Stuart, came up and again turned the tide in favor
of the Confederates. Although Custer had been relieved he had
not yet left the field. Seeing the Union troops about to be
overpowered he placed himself at the head of the 1st Michigan
and shouting "Come on, you Wolverines!" charged with such
impetuosity that Hampton's line was temporarily thrown into
confusion. Custer's timely action put new courage into those
already engaged, and for a few minutes every saber was busy
officers and privates fighting side by side. Capt. Hart next
brought up a squadron of the 1st N. J. and the Confederates
gave way.
Beaten at every point the Confederates fell back to a
strong position on Seminary ridge, where the army lay all day
on the 4th anxiously expecting and dreading an attack from
Meade, who was content to hold his position on Cemetery ridge.
Some skirmishing occurred during the day and that night Lee's
army, broken and dispirited, began its retreat into Virginia.
The decisive battle of the Civil war had been fought and won
by the Federals and the days of the Confederacy were numbered.
The Union losses at Gettysburg were 3,155 killed, 14,529
wounded and 5,365 missing. The Confederate reports give Lee's
losses as being 2,592 killed, 12,709 wounded and 5,150
missing, but the records of prisoners of war in the office of
the adjutant-general of the United States army bear the names
of 12,277 Confederates who were captured at the battle of
Gettysburg.

VERMONT
FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
(NINE MONTHS.)
BY REV. WILLIAM S. SMART, D. D., CHAPLAIN FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
THE fourteenth regiment was raised under President
Lincoln's call of August 4, 1862, for three hundred thousand
militia to serve for nine months. It consisted of companies
recruited in Addison, Rutland and Bennington counties, and
contained men from every town, except Brandon, which had
furnished a company (G) under Capt. (Gov.) E. J. Ormsbee, to
the Twelfth regiment. The headquarters of the various
companies were as follows: A, Bennington; B, Wallingford; C,
Manchester; D, Shoreham; E, Middlebury; F, Castleton; G,
Bristol; H, Rutland; I, Vergennes; K, Danby.
The regiment went into camp at Brattleboro, October 6,
1862, and was mustered into the United States service, October
21, and left next day for Washington, D. C., nine hundred
fifty-two strong. They were as fine a body of men as could be
found in the State, representing every walk in life. Every one
was a volunteer, and not one deserter is found on their roster.
A draft had been ordered by Governor Holbrook for September 11
in case the quotas of the towns were not raised by that time,
but no draft was needed. During the recruiting of the
regiment, an incident occurred in Benson, which, while local,
well illustrates the patriotic spirit which pervaded Vermont.
By a mistake in the office of the Adjutant General, the quota
of this town was five in excess of the real number. It was
discovered too late to be remedied, and the intelligence
reached the town on the evening of the 10th, that the selectmen
must proceed with the draft if the quota was not full by the
morning of the 11th. Messengers were dispatched, and the
people of the town summoned to consider the emergency. By ten
o'clock nearly every male inhabitant was present. The first
thing to do was to raise $1,000 to pay the usual bounty. As
this was not a legal meeting, it was promptly raised by
subscription, and the five men needed stepped into the breach,
and the dreaded stigma of a draft was averted.
The officers of the regiment were a fine and able body of
men. Few changes were found necessary during their term of
service, yet they could have been duplicated, twice over, from
the ranks. Of those now living it is not needful to speak.
Many of them are well known in the State, but of the dead the
spirit of comradeship compels a word.
Col. William T. Nichols of Rutland, was a brave and
efficient commander. His first service was as a volunteer in
the Rutland company of the First regiment. On his return he
was elected as representative in the Legislature, and again in
1862, but dropping all civil duties and legal practice, he
devoted himself to the service of his country. He is
remembered by his officers and men with affection and esteem,
as a good soldier and a gentleman. He died in April, 1882.
Charles Field of Dorset, was a Quartermaster, whose energy
and care for the wants of the regiment were as unfailing as his
native courtesy and gentle manners. Of this he gave signal
proof, when, on the morning of July 2, he appeared on Cemetery
Hill, with four wagon loads of coffee and hard tack. In doing
this he took the risk of disobeying orders to go to the rear,
with his train, and narrowly escaped capture, but his coming
was welcomed by hungry men, and he saved the brigade from
having to fight on empty stomachs.
Captain Munson of Manchester, company C, was a brave and
capable officer in whose hands the colors never wavered on the
line.
Capt. (Judge) Walter C. Dunton, company H, was as cool,
careful and devoted to duty on the field, as he was afterwards
distinguished for his ability and probity on the bench. He has
gone over to the majority, mourned as a true patriot and good
citizen.
The Fourteenth was attached to the defenses of Washington
and did picket duty, first at Alexandria, after the 11th of
December near Fairfax Court House, where it assisted in the
repulse of Stuart's cavalry raid, and from March to June, 1863,
at Wolf Run Shoals on the Occoquan river. This was the outer
picket line of Washington. This duty was interspersed with the
digging of rifle pits and the building of corduroy roads. The
duty, while not particularly dangerous, was arduous and
involved much exposure and hardship in winter weather. The
health of the regiment, however, was good and the record
remarkable. The entire loss by disease was only thirty-nine
men, far less than the other regiments of the brigade. Some of
this redounds to the credit of our excellent Surgeon, Dr. A. T.
Woodward, and his assistant, Dr. L. D. Ross. Something is also
to be attributed to the pluck and good spirit of the men, as is
illustrated in the medical record of company A. It was called
the "noisy company." There was always some sport on hand among
the boys of company A. They did not lose a man by sickness,
and Captain Gore had the satisfaction of bringing back to
Brattleboro every man he took out. Not a man was hit during
the battle, although they were in no better position,
apparently, than the rest of the line. The company must have
been out of the range of the terrible artillery fire from which
the regiment sustained its heavy loss at Gettysburg.
On the 20th of April, Gen. George J. Stannard, was
assigned to the command of the brigade and on June 25th, the
brigade, having been attached to the Third Division of the
First Corps, began the march to the North, which ended at
Gettysburg. June 30 it had reached Emmettsburg, Maryland,
having marched one hundred twenty miles in six days, gaining a
day on the First Corps, which had proceeded in advance of the
entire army.
The next day's march was made with quickened pace, for the
sound of guns to the north told that a battle was going on and
we were needed. The regiment reached the field too late to
participate in the fighting of the first day, and bivouacked in
a wheat field to the left of Cemetery Hill. At daylight of
July 2 the brigade joined the First Corps, which was reduced by
the casualties of the first day to two thousand four hundred
men. This march was severe and told heavily on our ranks. The
seven hundred twenty-two men who left Wolf Run Shoals, June 25,
were reduced to five hundred. Two hundred and twenty-two had
been compelled to fall out, unable to bear the killing pace.
Late in the afternoon of the 2nd, the brigade was called
into action on the left center, to repel the attack of Gen. A.
P. Hill. A battery had already been captured and was re-taken
by the Thirteenth Vermont. Another was in peril and was saved
as the Fourteenth double-quicked to its rescue. The regiment
remained in this position during the rest of the engagement.
In the opening cannonade of the third day the Fourteenth had
several non-commissioned officers and men killed by the
explosion of a battery caisson, near which they were lying.
Colonel Nichols obtained permission to move his regiment
forward about ten rods from the main line, where they lay
during the terrific cannonade of the third day. When the gray
line of Pickett's massive charge, seventeen thousand strong,
moved down upon the position of the Fourteenth, they lay
concealed on the ground, until the line was within sixty yards.
The men rose at command and gave a staggering and unexpected
volley in the face of the charging column. The direction of
the advancing charge was changed, and swung off to the north,
until their right flank was beyond the right of the Fourteenth.
It was at this time that General Stannard's quick eye saw his
chance for a flank movement, and delivered it with such fatal
effect upon Pickett. The Fourteenth moved a short distance by
the flank to the north, and obliquely from the main line. The
Thirteenth, followed by the Sixteenth, changed front on the
first company and moved out at right angles from the line and
charged forward. The Fourteenth kept up a rapid fire at close
range and closed up the pen in which Pickett's right wing was
caught and crushed.
After the main charge was repulsed, General Wilcox's
Brigade was seen coming down in front of the position of the
Fourteenth. The Sixteenth was coming back to get into line to
receive the charge, but Colonel Veazey saw an opportunity to
strike them on the front, which he did in splendid style. Four
companies of the Fourteenth, A, F, D and I, under Lieutenant-
Colonel Rose, formed on his left and assisted in capturing most
of the Rebel Brigade. So it fell to the lot of the Fourteenth,
with the other regiments, to uphold the honor of Vermont on
this hotly contested field, and at this critical time in the
battle.
It can with truth be said, that they
"Nothing common did, or mean,
Upon that memorable scene."
General Doubleday, in his official report, says of these
troops, which had never been in action before: "These movements
were executed in open field, under very heavy fire of shell,
grape and musketry, and were performed with the promptness and
decision of battalion drill." The losses sustained by the
Fourteenth in this engagement, were the largest in the brigade.
Nineteen were killed in action; nine died from wounds received
in action; total, twenty-seven. The wounded numbered seventy-
four.
The Fourteenth joined in the pursuit of Lee after the
battle and made some hard marches, one, on the 7th of July, is
recalled of thirty-five miles continuously, ending in rain, mud
and darkness, on the top of the Catoctin Mountain, after
midnight. July 18 the regiment was released and started for
home, and was mustered out at Brattleboro, July 30, 1863.
Vermont does well to preserve the names and deeds of her
soldiers in the Civil War among her most precious archives,
that the spirit of her sons, more immortal than their deeds,
may be preserved to future generations. Such were the young
men of Vermont in 1863. Such may they ever be when their
country needs their service.
The average age of the regiment was a fraction over
twenty-five years. Three hundred thirty two were from sixteen
to twenty-one years of age.
All hail to the Vermont veterans, whose locks are growing
gray, but who in youth's golden prime, held country dearest of
all. May their generations never cease.

After the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville the
opinion became prevalent through the South that Lee's Army of
Northern Virginia was more than a match for the Federal Army
of the Potomac, and a clamor arose for an aggressive movement.
There were at this time potent reasons why Lee should assume
the offensive. An invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania would
have a tendency to draw troops from Grant at Vicksburg and
Rosecrans in Tennessee to repel the invaders, thus relieving
the pressure on the Confederate forces under Pemberton,
Johnston and Bragg. If the invasion should prove to be
successful European nations might be persuaded to recognize
the Confederacy, loans could be obtained and probably aid
secured to open the Southern ports, then in a state of
blockade. All these reasons and possibilities were carefully
weighed and toward the last of May Lee decided to make the
invasion. Since the battle of Chancellorsville he had been
lying at Fredericksburg, recruiting and reorganizing his army,
which on June 1, numbered, according to Confederate reports,
88,754 men. It was divided into three corps, as follows: The
1st, commanded by Lieut.-Gen. James Longstreet, was composed
of the divisions of McLaws, Pickett and Hood, and the reserve
artillery under Col. J. B. Walton. The 2nd, under the command
of Lieut.-Gen. Richard S. Ewell, included the divisions of
Early, Johnson and Rodes, the reserve artillery being in
charge of Col. J. T. Brown. The 3rd, commanded by Lieut.-Gen.
Ambrose P. Hill consisted of the divisions of Anderson, Heth
and Pender, and the reserve artillery under Col. R. L. Walker.
In addition to these three corps was the cavalry under the
command of Maj.- Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, and consisting of the
brigades of Fitzhugh Lee, W. H. F. Lee, Hampton, Jenkins, W.
E. Jones and Imboden, and six batteries of horse artillery
under the command of Maj. R. F. Beckham.
Having decided to undertake an offensive movement, Lee
chose a route along the eastern base of the Blue Ridge, from
which he could at any time threaten Washington or Baltimore,
hoping by this means to detain the Union army in a position to
defend the national capital, or failing in that to draw it
after him and into a general engagement on a field of his own
selection. He accordingly began the concentration of his army
at Culpeper leaving Hill at Fredericksburg to keep up a show
of force there in order to keep Hooker from ascertaining what
was going on until it was too late for him to interfere.
Through the medium of despatches captured in the affair at
Brandy Station on June 9, Hooker learned that the major part
of Lee's army was at Culpeper. He proposed to cross over the
river and attack Hill, but the movement was forbidden by Gen.
Halleck. He then suggested a movement against Richmond to
force Lee to recall his army in that direction, but this, too,
was forbidden, though either might have been successful.
Hooker then sent the 3rd and 5th corps to guard the fords on
the Rappahannock, to prevent the Confederates from crossing,
and on the night of the 13th, moved his forces northward to
Manassas Junction and Thoroughfare gap. This compelled Lee to
change his plans and select the longer route through the
Shenandoah Valley. The Federal force at Winchester, commanded
by Gen. Milroy, was driven out on the 15th, Ewell pursuing
across the Potomac and occupying Hagerstown and Sharpsburg.
About the same time the Union troops at Harper's Ferry and
Martinsburg were withdrawn to Maryland heights, thus leaving
the valley open to Lee, who crossed the Potomac at
Williamsport and Shepherdstown on the 24th and 25th, united
his columns at Hagerstown, and pushed on toward Chambersburg,
Pa. On the 25th and 26th, Hooker crossed the Potomac at
Edwards' ferry and the next day Reynolds, with three corps,
occupied the passes of South mountain, thus forestalling any
attempt of Lee to pass to the eastward. To cut the enemy's
communications with Virginia, Hooker ordered the 12th corps,
then near Harper's Ferry, to march to that place, where it
would be joined by the forces under Gen. Kelley on Maryland
heights, and then, in connection with Reynolds, operate on
Lee's rear. Again Halleck interposed an objection, deeming it
inadvisable to abandon Harper's Ferry, and Hooker asked to be
relieved from command of the army. He was succeeded by Maj.-
Gen. George G. Meade on June 28. The Army of the Potomac was
then organized as follows: Maj.-Gen. John F. Reynolds,
formerly commanding the 1st corps, was placed in command of
the left wing, Maj.-Gen. Abner Doubleday taking command of the
corps, which consisted of three divisions under Brig.-Gens.
James S. Wadsworth, John C. Robinson and Thomas A. Rowley, and
the artillery brigade commanded by Col. Charles S. Wainright.
The 2nd corps, commanded by Maj.-Gen. Winfield S. Hancock,
embraced the three divisions under Brig.-Gens. John C.
Caldwell, John Gibbon and Alexander Hays, and the artillery
brigade of Capt. John G. Hazard. The 3rd corps, Maj.-Gen.
Daniel E. Sickles, was made up of the divisions of Maj.-Gen.
David B. Birney and Brig.-Gen. Andrew A. Humphreys, and the
artillery brigade commanded by Capt. George E. Randolph. The
5th corps, Maj.-Gen. George Sykes, was composed of the three
divisions of Brig.-Gens. James Barnes, Romeyn B. Ayres and
Samuel W. Crawford, and the artillery brigade of Capt. A. P.
Martin. The 6th corps, Maj.-Gen. John Sedgwick, embraced the
divisions of Brig.-Gen. Horatio G. Wright, Brig.-Gen. Albion
P. Howe and Maj.-Gen. John Newton, and the artillery brigade
of Col. Charles H. Tompkins. The 11th corps, Maj.-Gen. Oliver
O. Howard, included the divisions of Brig.-Gens. Francis C.
Barlow and Adolph von Steinwehr, Maj.-Gen. Carl Schurz, and
the artillery brigade commanded by Maj. Thomas W. Osborn. The
12th corps, Maj.-Gen. Henry W. Slocum was composed of the two
divisions of Brig.-Gens. Alpheus S. Williams and John W.
Geary, and the artillery brigade under command of Lieut. E. D.
Muhlenberg. The cavalry corps, Maj.-Gen. Alfred Pleasonton,
included the three divisions commanded by Brig.-Gens. John
Buford, David McM. Gregg and Judson Kilpatrick, and the horse
artillery under Capt. James M. Robertson. Altogether the army
had 65 batteries numbering 370 guns. Of these 212 were with
the infantry, 50 with the cavalry, and an artillery reserve of
108 under the command of Brig-Gen. Robert O. Tyler, Brig.-Gen.
Henry J. Hunt being the chief of artillery. Meade took
command in the midst of a campaign, and when the army was
preparing to move through a region with which he was but
little acquainted. For the time he decided to follow Hooker's
plans, the only departure there from being to recall Slocum's
corps from the Confederate rear, with orders to join the main
column. Without consulting Halleck he ordered the troops at
Maryland heights, now under the command of Gen. French, to
move up to Frederick, where they were to act as a reserve when
the army moved forward. Such information as he could obtain
regarding the enemy's movements located Longstreet at
Chambersburg, Ewell at Carlisle and York, where he was
preparing to attack Harrisburg, and Hill in the vicinity of
Cashtown. Conjecturing that Harrisburg was Lee's objective
point, Meade determined to move directly toward that place and
if possible strike the enemy before he could cross the
Susquehanna. Orders to that effect were issued to the various
corps commanders on the evening of the 28th and early the next
morning the army was in motion.
Stuart's cavalry had been sent on a raid around the Union
army, in the hope that by threatening its rear he could delay
the crossing of the Potomac until Lee could capture
Harrisburg. But he encountered Federal troops in so many
unexpected places that his raid was prolonged to such an
extent he did not arrive at Gettysburg until the battle was
almost over. Being thus deprived of his cavalry, Lee had no
way of obtaining information of the movements of the Federals,
and up to the 28th, supposed them to be still on the south side
of the Potomac. On the afternoon of that day he ordered Hill
and Longstreet to join Ewell for an advance on Harrisburg.
Late that night a scout came to Lee's headquarters with the
information that Hooker had been superseded by Meade, that the
Union army was north of the Potomac and in a position to
seriously menace the Confederate line of communications.
These tidings changed the whole situation. In his report Lee
says: "In the absence of the cavalry, it was impossible to
ascertain his intentions, but to deter him from advancing
farther west, and intercepting our communication with
Virginia, it was determined to concentrate the army east of
the mountains." Instructions were hurried to Hill and
Longstreet to move to Cashtown, 8 miles northwest of
Gettysburg, Ewell was recalled from Carlisle, and Pickett was
left at Chambersburg to guard the rear until relieved by
Imboden. Owing to rainy weather these movements were
performed somewhat leisurely, but Heth's division reached
Cashtown on the afternoon of the 29th. That evening the Union
army was in position just south of the state line, with the
right at New Windsor and the left at Emmitsburg. Buford's
cavalry division was on the extreme left, with his advance
well toward Gettysburg. Buford sent Merritt's brigade to
Mechanicstown to guard the trains and issued orders for
Gamble's and Devin's brigades to move early on the following
morning to Gettysburg, where he expected to find some of
Kilpatrick's cavalry. The two brigades entered the town about
noon, and found a detachment of the enemy within half a mile
of the place. This was Pettigrew's brigade of Heth's
division, which had been sent from Cashtown to procure
supplies, but finding the town in possession of the Union
forces hurriedly fell back on the main body of the division.
Scouting parties were sent out in all directions, bringing in
information showing that the Confederates were unquestionably
aiming to concentrate in the vicinity of Gettysburg, and
Buford so notified Meade that evening. Pickets were thrown
out toward Cashtown and Hunterstown, and the ridges west of
the town occupied in anticipation of an attack the next day.
Meade's chief objects had been to force Lee to forego his
intention of crossing the Susquehanna, and to bring on an
engagement at the first opportunity. The field selected for
such an engagement was along the banks of Pipe creek, a little
stream 15 miles south of Gettysburg. With a view to meeting
Lee at this point the different commands were so placed as to
be easily concentrated along Pipe creek, while at the same
time they were held in readiness to move elsewhere as the
occasion might demand. On the evening of June 30, the 1st
corps was at Marsh creek, about halfway between Emmitsburg and
Gettysburg; the 2nd and 3rd were in the vicinity of Taneytown,
the 5th was at Union Mills, southeast of Taneytown, the 6th
was at Manchester, still farther east; the 11th was near
Emmitsburg, Kilpatrick's cavalry was at Hanover, and Gregg's
at Westminster. The information received from Buford caused a
change in Meade's plans. Reynolds was ordered to move the
1st, 3rd and 11th corps to the support of Buford, Sickles
relieving the last at Emmitsburg, and the other corps
commanders instructed to move toward Gettysburg.
The town of Gettysburg is located about 7 miles from the
Maryland line, and some 10 miles east of South mountain. It
is in a valley, surrounded by broken granite ridges. On one
of these, about half a mile west of the town, stood the
Lutheran seminary, the elevation being known as Seminary
ridge. It was covered with an open woods and at the north end
is a knoll called Oak hill. South is a chain of hills
beginning about 3 miles from town and running almost due north
for a distance of 2 miles when it makes a curve to the east.
At the south end of this chain is Round Top, just east of this
is a smaller hill called Little Round Top; at the curve is
Cemetery hill, while at the eastern extremity of the range is
Culp's hill. About 500 yards west of Little Round Top, in the
forks of Plum creek is a hill known as the Devil's Den. It is
steep and rocky on the eastern side sloping away gradually to
the west and is about 100 lower than Little Round Top. The
summits of nearly all the ridges were covered with huge
boulders, forming a natural protection to sharpshooters, etc.
Near the western base of Cemetery hill was Ziegler's grove,
and along the base of the ridge farther south were the Weikert
and Trostle houses. Roads enter the town from almost every
direction. Through the valley between the Round Tops and
Seminary ridge ran the Emmitsburg road; along the eastern side
of the ridge was the road to Taneytown, running southeast,
between Cemetery and Culp's hills, was the Baltimore pike.
These three roads came together near the cemetery and entered
the town from the south. The Fairfield and Chambersburg roads
diverged at the west side of town, the former running
southwest and the latter northwest over Seminary ridge. From
the north came the Harrisburg, Carlisle and Middletown roads,
and Black's turnpike, while the Oxford and Bonaughton roads
entered the town from the east. On the east side of town is
Rock creek and west of Seminary ridge is Willoughby run, both
flowing southward.
At daybreak on July 1, Buford held the roads and ridges
to the west of Gettysburg with Devin's and Gamble's brigades,
his vedettes being thrown out far enough to give timely
warning of the enemy's approach. About 8 a.m. the scouts
reported the enemy advancing in force from the direction of
Cashtown. This was Heth's entire division, which had been
sent forward to occupy Gettysburg. Gamble's brigade was
formed on the left from the Fairfield road to the railroad
cut, with one section of Calef's battery near the left and the
rest of it on the Chambersburg pike. Devin formed on the
right, extending the line to Oak hill, a portion of the men
being dismounted and thrown forward as skirmishers. Heth
advanced on the Chambersburg road, with Archer's brigade to
the right and Davis, to the left of the pike, and the brigades
of Pettigrew and Brockenbrough in support. About 9 o'clock
Buford had three cannon shots fired as a signal for his
skirmishers to open fire on the advancing Confederates, and
the battle of Gettysburg was begun. Buford had been notified
that Reynolds was coming to his support and determined to hold
his ground until the reinforcements arrived. When the sound
of the firing reached Reynolds his advance, Wadsworth's
division, was within a mile of the town. This command was
hurried forward across the fields, Reynolds riding ahead to
Seminary ridge, where he met Buford and learned the positions
of the contending forces. As soon as Wadsworth arrived three
regiments of Cutler's brigade were formed north of the
railroad cut and the other two south of the pike, Hall's
battery relieving Calef's, which had almost exhausted its
supply of ammunition. Meredith's "Iron Brigade" was sent
against Archer on the left, and Devin's brigade of cavalry was
faced north to meet Ewell, who was known to be coming up from
Heidlersburg. Cutler's line had barely been formed when it
was struck on the front and right by Davis. Col. Fowler who
was in command of the two regiments south of the road, changed
front, drove Davis from the field, and took possession of the
railroad cut, capturing the two regiments which occupied it.
Reynolds sent word to Howard to hurry forward the 11th corps,
and then rode over to where Meredith and Archer were
contending for a piece of timber, known as McPherson's woods,
on the east side of Willoughby run. While directing the
movements of this brigade Reynolds was killed by a shot from a
Confederate sharpshooter, and Meredith was wounded by the
explosion of a shell in front of his horse. Col. Morrow, of
the 24th Mich., then took command, charged into the woods,
captured Archer and about 800 of his men, and forced the rest
to retire across the creek. By this time all of the 1st corps
was on the field. Stone's brigade of Rowley's division was
sent to the left of the pike, where it drove out the enemy's
skirmishers and took position behind a ridge, being partly
sheltered by a stone fence. Biddle's brigade was posted on
the left of McPherson's wood, with Cooper's battery on the
right, while Robinson's division was stationed in reserve on
Seminary ridge. Reynolds' battery relieved Hall's and Calef's
again joined Gamble's cavalry, which was also in reserve.
The enemy had also received heavy reinforcements,
Pender's division coming up from Cashtown and Ewell's corps
from Carlisle. Heth reformed his division south of the
Chambersburg road, with Pender in support, and nine batteries
stationed on commanding points west of Willoughby run. Lee
had notified Ewell not to bring on a general engagement until
the entire army was brought up, but on arriving on the field
and finding Hill's corps already engaged he ordered Rodes'
division to take position on Seminary ridge and Carter's
battalion of artillery to occupy Oak hill. It was now nearly
2 p.m., when the batteries on Oak hill opened upon the Union
lines an enfilading fire that forced Wadsworth to retire
Cutler to Seminary ridge, where he was joined by Robinson's
whole division to resist the advance of Rodes, who was
following along the ridge with O'Neal's and Doles' brigades on
the eastern slope and Iverson's, Daniel's and Ramseur's on the
western. At 2:30 Rodes gave the order to attack. Iverson was
confronted by Paul's brigade and O'Neal by Baxter's. O'Neal
was soon repulsed and Baxter went to the assistance of Paul.
At the same time Cutler swung his line around so as to attack
Iverson on the right flank. Baxter's men from the shelter of
a stone fence fired a volley at short range into the
Confederate ranks, leaving 500 of Iverson's command dead and
wounded on the field, and the rest surrendered. About 1,000
prisoners and 3 regimental colors were taken in this part of
the engagement. Howard had arrived with the 11th corps about
noon and assumed command. Shurz took command of the corps and
Brig.-Gen. Alexander Schimmelfennig of the 3rd division. This
division and Barlow's were thrown forward on the right to
check Ewell's advance, leaving Steinwehr's, with two
batteries, as a reserve and rallying point on Cemetery hill.
Upon hearing of the death of Reynolds Meade ordered
Hancock to proceed from Taneytown to Gettysburg and assume
command of the left wing. Hancock arrived about 3 p.m. and
found the Union troops retiring before the vastly superior
numbers of the enemy. Early's division had secured a position
on the flank and rear of the 11th corps, the artillery on the
hills east of Rock creek enfilading its entire line. Up to
this time the assaults of the enemy had been made without
concert at various points along the line, giving the Federals
an opportunity to repulse one before the next was commenced.
But about 4 o'clock the whole Confederate line advanced-50,000
against probably 15,000. The odds were too great and orders
were issued to fall back to Cemetery hill. The men retired in
good order, fighting as they went, the only confusion being
that which resulted by crowding the narrow streets of the
town. Wadsworth's division was sent to occupy Culp's hill and
skirmishers were thrown forward to the west side of the town
to hold the Confederates in check until the new line of battle
could be formed. About 5 o'clock Williams' division of the
12th corps came up and was stationed on the right and rear of
Wadsworth. Geary's division arrived soon afterward and was
sent to occupy Little Round Top and the ridge running toward
Cemetery hill, in a position commandmg the Emmitsburg and
Taneytown roads. Stannard's brigade of Rowley's division also
came up and joined the command, but too late to participate in
the fight. These reinforcements greatly encouraged those who
had borne the brunt of the battle all day, and the trains were
sent to the rear out of the way to prepare for the action
which was to come on the morrow. As the day drew to a close
and it became evident that the enemy did not intend to renew
the attack, Hancock turned over the command to Slocum and set
out for Meade's headquarters at Taneytown. Orders were given
for all the different commands to march at once to Gettysburg,
Meade set out for the scene of action, and about 1 a.m. on the
2nd reached the field.
Notwithstanding Lee's order on the evening of the 1st to
"attack the enemy in the morning as early as practicable," the
greater part of the day was spent in maneuvering for position.
Longstreet did not want to attack until the arrival of
Pickett's division. As a matter of fact Pickett did not come
up in time to take any part in the second days, battle, and
Law's brigade of Hood's division did not arrive on the field
until noon on the 2nd. Considerable delay was incurred in
moving the artillery so as to keep out of sight of the Union
signal station on Little Round Top, so that it was the middle
of the afternoon before the Confederates were in position to
begin the general assault on Meade's flanks according to Lee's
plans. This delay cost them dear in the end, as Meade's
different commands were hurrying to the front and when the
attack did come there was an opposition too strong to be
overcome. As soon as possible after his arrival Meade looked
over the ground and at dawn he commenced the formation of his
lines for an attack on the Confederate left. The 12th corps
was sent to the right of Wadsworth on Culp's hill, but Slocum
and Gen. G. K. Warren, who had served as chief engineer under
Hooker, and now held that position on Meade's staff, advised
against such a movement. Meade, however, was determined to
fight aggressively and began to arrange his troops for an
assault on the enemy's left. Some time was necessarily spent
in the preparations and before they were completed Lee
attacked both ends of the Union line, thus forcing Meade to
assume the defensive, which finally proved to be to his
advantage. The Union line was formed as follows: Slocum on
the extreme right; Wadsworth's division on Cemetery hill, with
the other two divisions of the 1st corps at the base;
Hancock's corps, which had come up during the night, next on
the left; then Sickles; Sykes on the extreme left, while
Sedgwick, who had made a march of 35 miles, arriving just
before the attack commenced, was stationed in reserve on the
Taneytown road behind the Round Tops, where he could rest his
men until called on to strengthen some part of the line.
The Confederate line was in the form of a concave.
Longstreet on the left was opposite the Round Tops; Hill in
the center occupied Seminary ridge; Ewell on the right held
the town and the ridges east of Rock creek. Along the north
side of Little Round Top ran a road which crossed the
Emmitsburg road almost at right angles near the center of the
open country lying between the two lines. On the south side
of this road and east of the Emmitsburg road was a large peach
orchard, to the east of which was a wheatfield. Sickles moved
his corps to the cross roads, forming Humphrey's division
along the Emmitsburg road and Birney's in the peach orchard
and on a ridge south of the cross-road, Ward's brigade being
thrown forward to the Devil's Den. As this position was some
distance in advance of the main line, and subsequently proved
to be untenable, there has been some controversy as to whether
Sickles occupied it by order of the commanding general or
selected it himself. It is not the province of this work,
however, to settle responsibilities, but to tell what
happened. Birney's skirmishers were engaged almost from the
time his line was formed until the main attack of the
Confederates about 4 p.m. When that attack was opened
Longstreet directed a severe artillery fire against the two
sides of the angle formed by Sickles' line, and this was
followed by a fierce assault on Ward, who was overlapped by
the enemy's line and compelled retire. The attack was then
extended toward the peach orchard and some of the enemy's
batteries secured positions from which an enfilading fire was
poured into the two lines forming the angle. Humphreys sent a
brigade and later a regiment to the assistance of Birney, but
soon afterward his own line was vigorously assailed by
Barksdale's brigade on the north and Kershaw's on the west,
making it impossible to render any further aid to Birney, who
was now hard pressed. Graham's brigade was driven from the
orchard, Sickles had lost a leg and Graham was wounded and a
prisoner in the hands of the enemy. The Federal batteries,
commanded by Maj. McGilvery, and which was stationed on the
cross-road below the orchard, met the Confederate advance by
an effective fire, but in vain. One of the batteries was
captured by Kershaw's men, but the 141st Pa. made a gallant
charge and recaptured the guns, bringing them off by hand.
Still the Confederates pressed on, and as a last resort
McGilvery ordered Biglow to sacrifice his battery to save the
rest. With the courage born of desperation he obeyed the
order, fighting until the enemy approached within a few feet,
when he managed to withdraw, but with severe loss. This left
the orchard in the hands of the enemy, which brought them on
Humphreys' flank and Birney's right. Reinforcements were
called for and Hancock sent in Caldwell's division, but it was
compelled to fall back after losing heavily in killed and
wounded, two brigade commanders, Cross and Zook, being among
the killed. Ayres' division next went in, and, although he
struck the enemy on the flank, doubled up their line and
forced them back, he was in the end compelled to make a
hurried retreat to save his command from annihilation.
This fight on the left was a struggle for the possession
of Little Round Top. About the time that Ward was outflanked
Warren rode over to the signal station there to obtain a
better view of what was going on. Seeing the importance of
the position which was then undefended, he assumed the
responsibility of ordering Vincent's brigade of Barnes'
division to occupy the crest, at the same time notifying Meade
of what he had done and asking for a force sufficient to hold
it. As Ward retired the Confederates, made a rush for the
hill, but were met on the top by Vincent's men who repulsed
the first assault with the bayonet. The 140th N. Y.,
belonging to Weed's brigade of Barnes' division, and Hazlett's
battery were then sent to the aid of Vincent. Having failed
in the first attempt to carry the position, the enemy next
made an effort to turn the left, but were met by the 2Oth Me.,
under Col. Chamberlain. At first the Unionists were forced
back by the main strength of superior numbers, but Svkes
hurried a brigade to the relief of Chamberlain, and a brigade
of the Pennsylvania reserves arriving about the same time, the
Confederates were driven from the hill with a loss of 500
captured and 1,000 stands of arms taken, besides a large
number in killed and wounded. After the 3rd corps had been
driven from the peach orchard the enemy began to form in front
of the wheatfield for another assault on Little Round Top.
McCandless' brigade of Crawford's division, led by Crawford
himself, charged and drove them to the farther side of the
wheatfield, where they found shelter behind a stone fence. In
the meantime two brigades-Eustis' and Nevin's-of Sedgwick's
corps had come forward and during the time of Crawford's
charge took a position in front of the ridge. The sight of
these fresh troops had a discouraging effect on the
Confederates and they withdrew from the contest.
Through some miscalculation Ewell did not begin his
attack on the Federal right until after Longstreet's repulse.
The plan of attack here was for Johnson to move against Culp's
hill, and as soon as he was fairly engaged Early and Rodes
were to assault the works on Cemetery hill. When the fight
commenced on the left Ewell opened with his artillery and kept
up the fire for about an hour before making any further
movement against the Union lines. In this time Meade, under
the impression that the demonstration on his right was merely
a feint, withdrew from that portion of his line all of the
12th corps except Greene's brigade, and sent it to the support
of Sykes. About 5 p.m. Johnson crossed Rock creek and
advanced against Greene and Wadsworth. Greene held out until
he was reinforced, when the enemy was driven from his front,
though Johnson occupied the intrenchments that had been
abandoned by the 12th corps, giving him a strong position on
the right flank of the Union army. While this was taking
place Early sent the brigades of Hays and Hoke, the latter
commanded by Col. Avery, up the valley between Culp's and
Cemetery hills to assault the Federal position on the latter.
The advance was somewhat impetuous driving back Von Gilsa's
and Ames' brigades, which were stationed at the foot of the
hill. In the rear of this infantry line were Wiedrich's and
Ricketts' batteries, which were next attacked, the former
being captured and 2 guns of the latter spiked. Farther up
the hill were the batteries of Stevens, Reynolds and Stewart,
the officers of which had orders from Col. Wainright to "fight
the guns to the last." As the enemy advanced in the face of
these guns they were met by a storm of canister Stevens'
battery especially doing effective work. Hancock voluntarily
sent Carroll's brigade to the support of the batteries, which
were also reinforced by the 106th Pa. and a detachment from
Schurz' command. The arrival of these troops carried dismay
into the enemy's lines, which had not been properly supported,
although Gordon's brigade had been assigned to that duty, and
a retreat was ordered. As they fell back they were followed
by a shower of canister from the batteries, which killed and
wounded a large number and threw the line into some confusion.
It is said that the Confederate organization known as the
"Louisiana Tigers," went into this fight with 1,750 men, of
whom only 150 returned unscathed. Rodes was delayed in making
his attack, having to move out of Gettysburg by the flank,
then change front and march some distance. By the time he was
in position to cooperate with Early the latter had met defeat.
The day closed with the Union forces still in possession of
the ridge, though the enemy had gained some advantage on the
right, as Johnson still held the intrenchments of the 12th
corps, which threatened the safety of Meade's army by cutting
off the line of retreat if such a movement became necessary.
This victory, meager as it was, offered Lee sufficient
incentive to continue the contest the next morning. That
night a council of war was held, at which it was unanimously
decided to "stay and fight it out." It is said that Meade was
somewhat displeased at the decision, because he wanted to
retire to the ground previously selected at Pipe creek.
However this may have been he acquiesced in the judgment of
his corps commanders, and preparations were immediately
commenced looking to the coming engagement.
Lee's general plan of battle for the 3rd was similar to
that of the preceding day. Ewell was to open the fight by
pressing the advantage already gained on the extreme right,
and after his attack was well under way the main assault was
to be made on the center. Johnson was reinforced by three
brigades and instructed to begin his attack at daybreak. But
a disagreeable surprise was in store for him. Geary returned
to Culp's hill about midnight and learned that his
intrenchments were in the hands of the enemy. He took a
position with Greene and began making arrangements to recover
his works at the earliest opportunity the next morning.
Batteries were brought up during the remaining hours of
darkness and stationed at all the points bearing on Johnson,
and as soon as it was light enough to distinguish objects the
guns opened fire. Johnson was without artillery, so he
determined to risk all on a charge. The charge was gallantly
made, but it was bravely met by Kane's brigade of Geary's
division, and a severe contest was waged for several hours.
Williams' division, now commanded by Col. Thomas H. Ruger,
came up and gained a position where it could strike Johnson on
the flank, and about the same time Shaler's brigade of
Newton's division joined Kane, when Johnson, finding the
conflict an unequal one, withdrew to Rock creek, leaving Geary
and Ruger in possession of their old line. This part of the
third day's battle was ended long before Lee's troops were in
position to assault Cemetery hill, and again that concert of
action, so essential to Confederate success, was lost.
Pickett's division, which had not yet been engaged, was
selected to lead the charge against the Union center.
Longstreet, in his report, thus describes the arrangement of
troops and plan of the assault: "Orders were given to Maj.-
Gen. Pickett to form his line under the best cover that he
could get from the enemy's batteries, and so that the center
of the assaulting column would arrive at the salient of the
enemy's position, Gen. Pickett's line to be the guide and to
attack the enemy's defenses, and Gen. Pettigrew, in command of
Heth's division, moving on the same line as Gen. Pickett, was
to assault the salient at the same moment. Pickett's division
was arranged, two brigades in the front line, supported by his
third brigade, and Wilcox's brigade was ordered to move in
rear of his right flank, to protect it from any force that the
enemy might attempt to move against it. Heth's division, under
command of Brig.-Gen. Pettigrew was arranged in two lines, and
these supported by part of Maj.-Gen. Pender's division, under
Maj.-Gen. Trimble. All of the batteries of the 1st and 3rd
corps, and some of those of the 2nd, were put into the best
positions for effective fire upon the point of attack and the
hill occupied by the enemy's left. Col. Walton, chief of
artillery of the 1st corps, and Col. Alexander had posted our
batteries and agreed with the artillery officers of the other
corps upon a signal for the batteries to open." At 1 p.m. two
cannon shots were heard in quick succession. This was the
signal for the Confederate batteries to open fire, and
immediately 150 guns commenced their deadly work. The object
was to silence the Union guns, and when this was accomplished
Pickett was to move forward to the grand assault which was to
decide the fate of the battle. Owing to the convex form of
the Federal position only 80 guns could find room on the ridge
to respond to the enemy's fire. That number was already in
position and for two hours was waged an artillery duel seldom
if ever equaled in the annals of wars. The enemy's fire was
very effective, although many of the shells went high and
exploded in the open ground to the rear of the ridge, forcing
the artillery reserve to move to a better protected position
Meade was compelled to change the location of his
headquarters, a number of guns were disabled, though they were
quickly replaced by others brought up from the reserve, about
a dozen caissons were blown up and after each of these
explosions the exultant yells of the Confederates could be
heard along their entire line. During this time Pickett's men
were in the wood on Seminary ridge, waiting for the command to
move forward across the 1,400 yards of open ground in their
endeavor to pierce the Union center. The Union generals knew
that this fierce artillery fire was but the prelude to a
charge and placed their commands in position to receive the
shock. About 3 o'clock Hunt ordered the guns to cease firing,
partly to replenish his supply of ammunition, and partly to
see what the enemy would do. Thinking that the batteries were
silenced Pickett emerged from the woods and began his advance,
his men marching with such even step that for a little while
the whole Union line stood in silent admiration of this
display of heroism on the part of men who were marching to
certain death. But when about half of the open space had been
crossed the Federal batteries again opened with telling
effect. Great gaps were torn in Pickett's line by the shot
and shell, but they were quickly closed up as the line pressed
forward. When the Confederates crossed the Emmitsburg road
canister came into use, and at the same time McGilvery's guns
on Little Round Top opened a destructive, enfilading fire on
the advancing lines. Still on they came. Hancock's
skirmishers near the Emmitsburg road were driven back like
chaff before the wind. The enemy had now come within musket
range and Hays' division poured volley after volley into the
left, causing it to waver so that it fell behind the main
column. Before Pickett's first line reached the stone wall,
behind which the main line of Meade's army was posted,
Stannard found an opportunity to make a flank attack with his
Vermont brigade. Quickly changing front with two of his three
regiments, he brought them perpendicular to the enemy's line
and sent in a volley that forced Kemper's brigade staggering
back on the center. This was closely followed up by Col.
Gates, of the 20th N. Y. militia, throwing Pickett's left into
confusion and causing many to surrender, while others threw
away their arms and took to their heels.
Although the two ends of the line were badly disorganized
by these flank attacks, the center kept bravely on to the
stone wall. Gen. Armistead, whose brigade was in this portion
of the line, was one of the first to gain the wall. Placing
his hat on the point of his sword he waved it above his head
and shouted: "Give,em the cold steel, boys!" His example was
speedily followed and with fixed bayonets the Confederates
came pouring over the wall. One of the batteries was
captured, the enemy's flag floated for a few brief moments
over the Federal works, while the "rebel yell" resounded on
all sides. But their triumph was of short duration. The
place where the Union line was broken was directly in front of
Webb's brigade of Gibbon's division. Webb rallied the 72nd
Pa. and led it against the enemy; part of the 71st Pa. gained
a position behind a stone wall on the right, from which they
poured a murderous fire into Armistead's flank. The remainder
of this regiment and the 68th Pa. found shelter in a clump of
trees and sent a storm of leaden hail into the ranks of the
assailants. Col. Hall, commanding Gibbon's 3rd brigade, made a
dashing charge with two regiments of his own command, the 15th
Mass., the 1st Minn., and the 19th Me. of the 1st brigade,
that drove the enemy from the works and turned defeat into
vitory. Back across the open space, over which they had
marched with heroic determination but a short time before, the
Confederates now fled in the wildest disorder. Of Pickett's
three brigade commanders Armistead and Garnett were killed and
Kemper severely wounded. Nearly three-fourths of his command
were either killed, wounded or captured. As the enemy
retreated, Stannard, who had held his position during the
action, repeated his flank movement and captured a large part
of Wilcox's brigade, which was coming up to Pickett's support.
Lee's grand coup de main had failed.
While the main battle was in progress in the center there
were sharp cavalry engagements on both flanks. On the left
part of Kilpatrick's division made a charge through the woods
near Devil's Den, against the infantry and artillery stationed
there. In this action Kilpatrick lost a number in killed and
wounded, among the former being Gen. Farnsworth. The affair
on the right was of greater magnitude. Four of Stuart's
brigades were ordered to cover Ewell's left, and to make a
demonstration to divert attention from the main attack. Then,
if Pickett's charge proved successful, he was to fall on the
rear of the Federals or harass their retreat. Stuart planted
several batteries on the hills commanding the Baltimore pike
and made other preparations to attack the minute he heard that
Pickett had carried the works on Cemetery hill. Custer's
brigade of Kilpatrick's division became engaged, although he
was under orders to join his command on the left, and
continued the fight until he was relieved by McIntosh's
brigade of Gregg's division. One of Stuart's batteries was
posted near the buildings of the Rummel farm and Mclntosh
undertook to drive it away. He soon encountered a strong body
of skirmishers and sent back for reinforcements. Randol's and
Pennington's batteries were moved to the front and soon
silenced the enemy's batteries, when McIntosh moved up and
occupied the position. W. H. Lee's brigade now came up to the
support of the skirmish line and succeeded in repulsing the
1st N. J., whose ammunition was exhausted. The 7th Mich. was
also driven back and it began to look dark for McIntosh, when
the 5th Mich. made a charge on Lee and soon had him on the
retreat. Just then Hampton's brigade, which had been kept in
reserve by Stuart, came up and again turned the tide in favor
of the Confederates. Although Custer had been relieved he had
not yet left the field. Seeing the Union troops about to be
overpowered he placed himself at the head of the 1st Michigan
and shouting "Come on, you Wolverines!" charged with such
impetuosity that Hampton's line was temporarily thrown into
confusion. Custer's timely action put new courage into those
already engaged, and for a few minutes every saber was busy
officers and privates fighting side by side. Capt. Hart next
brought up a squadron of the 1st N. J. and the Confederates
gave way.
Beaten at every point the Confederates fell back to a
strong position on Seminary ridge, where the army lay all day
on the 4th anxiously expecting and dreading an attack from
Meade, who was content to hold his position on Cemetery ridge.
Some skirmishing occurred during the day and that night Lee's
army, broken and dispirited, began its retreat into Virginia.
The decisive battle of the Civil war had been fought and won
by the Federals and the days of the Confederacy were numbered.
The Union losses at Gettysburg were 3,155 killed, 14,529
wounded and 5,365 missing. The Confederate reports give Lee's
losses as being 2,592 killed, 12,709 wounded and 5,150
missing, but the records of prisoners of war in the office of
the adjutant-general of the United States army bear the names
of 12,277 Confederates who were captured at the battle of
Gettysburg.

Francois SEGUIN-LADEROUTE (my 8th great grandfather)
Francois SEGUIN-LADEROUTE
Born: 4 Jul 1644, Saint-Aubin-en-Bray, , Picardie, France
Marriage: Francoise Jeanne PETIT on 31 Oct 1672 in Boucherville, Montréal, Québec, Canada
Died: 9 May 1704, Montréal, , Québec, Canada at age 59
General Notes:
The Family of Francois Seguin and Jeanne Petit
Francois Seguin (4 Jul 1644, St Aubin-en-Bray, France - c. 1701, Quebec) married Jeanne Petit (1656, LaRochelle, France - 29 Mar 1733, Longueuil, Quebec) on Monday, 31 Oct 1672, at the Church of Ste Famille, Boucherville, Quebec.
The following is an extract from the register of baptisms, marriages, and burials of the parish of St Aubin-en-Bray, at St Aubin-en-Bray, France, and gives the date of Francois' baptism and the names of his parents and godfather and godmother:
Francois Seguin fils de Laurent Seguin et de Marie Massieu a este [le] 4e jour de juillet 1644 et a pour son parrein Francois Oudin et pour sa marreine Jehanne Dufour.
An account of Francois Seguin's life continues with the excerpt previously mentioned as being authored by Robert-Lionel Seguin.
Francois Seguin, who is six years of age at the time of his mother's death, will be taken in by his maternal grandparents with whom he lives until old enough to choose a trade. At that time [Dec 1644], troops are being levied by [the] regiment de Carignan for service in Nouvelle France [New France] to wage war against the Iroquois [Indian Nation composed of Mohawks, Oneidas, Sencecas, Onandagas, and Cayugas]. Francois, who is 20 years of age, joins the company of Monsieur [Captain Pierre] de St Ours [1640-1724] and embarks aboard the St Sebastien [ship] [on 13 May 1665 at LaRochelle], landing at Quebec, on 12 Sep 1665. The soldiers of that company will spend the following winter at the fort of Saurel (Sorel), at the mouth of the Richelieu River.
After three years of war, the company is finally discharged. As a reward, the officers are granted land with the title of seigneurs. Monsieur de St Ours [Sieur de L'Echaillon] was allocated a seigneurie on the Richelieu River and Francois Seguin obtains a fief on his officer's land. Later, Monsieur de St Ours, who finds he has financial trouble in his seigneurie, is designated by the governor to levy troops for the defense of Montreal [known at that time as Ville Marie] and he reorganizes his company. Many of his former soldiers join him, including Francois, who is still unmarried. He remains in garrison with his company for a few months but then returns to his farm at St Ours. [On 14 Sep 1671, at Boucherville, Francois leases for two years, a piece of land 50 arpents in area, belonging to Robert Henry. He also acquires a house to live in on the condition that he cut and clear two arpents of the land per year.] By trade, Francois was a weaver as were most of the residents of Beauvais, his native province. Therefore, whenever his farm work allows him free time and whenever there is a demand by the local peasants for his trade, he works as a weaver.
He must have dreamed of settling along the St Lawrence River because on 22 Sep 1672, he exchanges his farm at St Ours for that of Pierre Chaperon in Boucherville. [The new farm consists of two arpents in frontage by 25 arpents deep, and four square arpents have already been cleared. Is is bordered on either side by the lots of Gilbert Guilleman dit Duvaillars, former surgeon of the Carignan Regment, and Pierre Bourgery. On this same occasion, for the price of 85 livres, he also purchases a lot of one square half-arpent on which is situated a "barn which is found built there."] The deed is signed before the notary Thomas Frerot and it is followed by the sale of two or three lots from that same farm. His business transactions still leave him some time to do some socializing.
In fact, visiting a fille du roi, living with the Sisters of the Congregation, takes some of his time. Her name is Jeanne Petit, daughter of Jean Petit and of Jeanne Godreau, native of the parish St Marguerite in the [western port] city of La Rochelle [France].
On 10 Feb, 1671, several months before the arrival of a new ship carrying eligible young women, Colbert writes to Talon, informing him:
I have also ordered that you be sent certification of the places where the girls are from, which will clearly make known that they are free and of marriageable state.
Jeanne Petit, the daughter of Jean Petit and Jeanne Gaudreau, in our family genealogy, was one of these "Daughters of the King". Born in1656, she was from the parish of Ste Marguerite in the town of LaRochelle, in the historic province of Aunis on the west coast of France. Possibly she was from a poor family but both she and her parents saw an opportunity for her to better herself through the king's dowry, or perhaps she was an orphan as some of the young women were. During the year 1671, Jeanne was one of 125 women to make the voyage across the Atlantic, and was among the 19 who went to the Montreal region. After her arrival in Quebec on the ship L'Esperance, Jeanne likely was taken in under the protectorship of the Montreal-based Sisters of the Congregation of Notre-Dame (who had arrived in 1653 under Soeur Marguerite Bourgeoys), until a prospective husband might propose to her. It is unlikely that the Ursuline Nuns (who had arrived in 1636 and were under the direction of Soeur Marie Guyard de Incarnation) cared for her since they were based in Quebec City.
Francois must have met Jeanne during this period and developed a love interest in her because on Wednesday, 21 Sep 1692, a marriage contract was drawn up between the two of them by the notary, Thomas Frerot. This was done the day before he exchanged his farm at St Ours for the one in Boucherville. It becomes apparent that Francois met and courted Jeanne, proposed marriage to her, had the contract drawn up, and then made the exchange of farms with the intent of settling in Boucherville with his future bride. The unusual aspect of their engagement is that when the filles du roi arrived in Quebec and were allowed to disembark in groups at Quebec City, Trois Rivieres, and Montreal, they were normally married within two weeks. This quick matrimonial process occurred because the women would be taken during that period to a hall where they could be observed and addressed by the soldiers or habitants. The filles du roi however, would question the men as to whether they had land, if any of it had been cleared, and if they owned livestock. The women held the upper hand and made the final decision as to whether they would consent to marriage. Since Jeanne was born in 1656 and arrived in 1671, but did not become engaged until Sep 1672, one might speculate that she was sheltered by the nuns for at least a nine month period until she turned 16.
The original marriage contract is on file in the Judicial Archives of Montreal and reads in French (complete with spelling errors):
[Signatures or the marks of the persons in attendance who are named above appear at the bottom of the document. Francois initially signs his name simply as "Laderoute" but draws a line through it and then writes
"Francois Seguin."]
One month and ten days following the notarization of the marriage contract (similar to a marriage license application and a promise to marry), the wedding day arrives. Seven years have passed since Francois first landed in Nouvelle France as a soldier with the Carignan Regiment. On 31 Oct 1672, Francois Seguin dit Laderoute, the son of Laurent Seguin and Marie Massieu, marries Jeanne Petit, daughter of Jean Petit and Jeanne Gaudreau. The ceremony is performed by a
missionary priest, Fr Pierre de Caumont, at Ste Famille (Holy Family) parish in Boucherville, Quebec. According to Laforest, typically when a filles du roi would marry, "...the newly married couple was given 50 livres to buy provisions, plus an ox and a cow, two pigs, a pair of chickens, two barrels of salt meat, and 11 crowns of money. This was supposed to give the newlyweds a start. Together this couple of Francois and Jeanne forms Generation II of the Seguin family line.
The parish register of Ste Famille carries the marriage entry:
In the year of Our Lord, 1672, the 3lst of the month of October, after the proclamation of banns during three feast days at the celebration of the parish mass, having met no impediments, Pierre de Caumont, a missionary priest doing curial functions at Boucherville, after having done the necessary requests and interrogations to Francois Seguin, inhabitant of Boucherville, son of Laurent Seguin and of Marie Massieu, parish of Dombre in Picardie, diocese of Beauvais, and to Jeanne Petit, daughter of Jean Petit and of Jeanne Gaudreau, Ste Marguerite parish, town and diocese of LaRochelle, after having received their mutual consent, I, Pierre de Caumont, a missionary priest, married them in
presence of known witnesses.
/s/ Boucher, Remy, Jean la Fond
[The signatures of three witnesses who are present - Boucher, Remy, and Jean la Fond - appear at the bottom of the document. Seigneur Pierre Boucher for whom Boucherville is named and his wife, Jeanne Crevier, are notable witnesses to the ceremony, and shows the onsideration he had for Francois.]
On 25 Jan 1673, Francois sold the land he had acquired from Pierre Chaperon to Francois Senecal, a servant of seigneur Boucher. On this farm was "a house not completed." On 4 Apr 1673, Seigneur Boucher listed the 38 land grantees and Francois figured among them. He lived on a piece of land of 50 arpents (2 x 25 mentioned earlier), flanked by the lands of Jacques Menard and Pierre Martin. On 2 Jun 1675, Francois leased from Francois Pillet "a four year old brown cow valued at 60 lvres, which required Francois to feed the cow and any offspring and to pay Mr Pillet 12 livres per year. In the census of 1681, Francois declares his occupation to be a weaver, and with his wife, gives the names and ages of their first four children. On 10 Oct 1683, he leased a cow belonging to Denis Veronneau. On 24 Nov 1698, Francois sold his concession of 50 arpents [with a poor building upon it] to Jean Baptiste Lamoureux for 850 livres. Apparently immediate payment was made in 400 livres in playing card money, 200 in assorted merchandise, and 60 by the value of 20 minots of wheat. The remainder was due on the next feast of St Jean Baptiste, 24 Jun 1699. (The feast of St Jean Baptiste must have been a major holiday then even as it is today in Quebec.) On 15 Apr 1700, Francois and Jeanne are granted by Madame de la Valtrie the privilege of living on a strip of wooded land on the Ile Grosbois, along the channel. It is two arpents wide and deep [as far as the tip of the island, across from l'ile aux Raisins.] Francois, in addition to giving two work days each autumn, was required to take care of the donor's two cows. He and Jeanne lived together on this land until death. Francois originally was thought to have died 9 May 1704 in Montreal and buried on 10 May 1704 under the name of Pierre Seguin. Later research however, disclosed that marriage contracts of his daughter, Marie Madeleine, to Antoine Marie dit Ste Marie on 20 Nov 1700 (when Francois is shown as absent due to health reasons), and daughter, Marie Jeanne, to Joseph Robidou on 10 Oct 1701 (when Jeanne Petit is listed as a widow) prove that he did not die in 1704, but rather in the period of 20 Nov 1700 - 10 Oct 1701. His place of burial is unknown.
On 19 Mar 1713, Jeanne gave the concession of the Ile Grosbois, which she and Francois had originally received in Apr 1700, to Marie Anne Margane, the widow of Ignace Boucher. Jeanne then moved to Lachenaie to live with the third oldest of her children, Francois, who was 35 years old and married to Marie Louise Feuillon. Jeanne died on Sunday, 29 Mar 1733, and was buried in Longueuil, a community on the east side of Montreal.
On an interesting note, the author, Thomas J. Laforest, states in his book, Our French-Canadian Ancestors (Volume XXV):
When Pierre de Saint-Ours, former officer of the Carignan Regiment, drew up his will in 1704, he bequeathed "in case of death" 400 livres to the soldiers whom he had previously commanded. The name of Francois was mentioned in the list of beneficiaries. The seigneur died in 1724. [It is apparent that Saint-Ours was unaware of Francois' death which had already occurred around 1701.]
Noted events in his life were:
• Occupation: Habitant, 1672.
Francois married Francoise Jeanne PETIT, daughter of Jean PETIT and Jeanne GAUDREAU, on 31 Oct 1672 in Boucherville, Montréal, Québec, Canada. (Francoise Jeanne PETIT was born in 1643 in Sainte Marguerite de La Rochelle, France and died on 30 Mar 1733 in Longueuil, , Québec, Canada.)

The Family of Francois Seguin and Jeanne Petit
Francois Seguin (4 Jul 1644, St Aubin-en-Bray, France - c. 1701, Quebec) married Jeanne Petit (1656, LaRochelle, France - 29 Mar 1733, Longueuil, Quebec) on Monday, 31 Oct 1672, at the Church of Ste Famille, Boucherville, Quebec.
The following is an extract from the register of baptisms, marriages, and burials of the parish of St Aubin-en-Bray, at St Aubin-en-Bray, France, and gives the date of Francois' baptism and the names of his parents and godfather and godmother:
Francois Seguin fils de Laurent Seguin et de Marie Massieu a este [le] 4e jour de juillet 1644 et a pour son parrein Francois Oudin et pour sa marreine Jehanne Dufour.
An account of Francois Seguin's life continues with the excerpt previously mentioned as being authored by Robert-Lionel Seguin.
Francois Seguin, who is six years of age at the time of his mother's death, will be taken in by his maternal grandparents with whom he lives until old enough to choose a trade. At that time [Dec 1644], troops are being levied by [the] regiment de Carignan for service in Nouvelle France [New France] to wage war against the Iroquois [Indian Nation composed of Mohawks, Oneidas, Sencecas, Onandagas, and Cayugas]. Francois, who is 20 years of age, joins the company of Monsieur [Captain Pierre] de St Ours [1640-1724] and embarks aboard the St Sebastien [ship] [on 13 May 1665 at LaRochelle], landing at Quebec, on 12 Sep 1665. The soldiers of that company will spend the following winter at the fort of Saurel (Sorel), at the mouth of the Richelieu River.
After three years of war, the company is finally discharged. As a reward, the officers are granted land with the title of seigneurs. Monsieur de St Ours [Sieur de L'Echaillon] was allocated a seigneurie on the Richelieu River and Francois Seguin obtains a fief on his officer's land. Later, Monsieur de St Ours, who finds he has financial trouble in his seigneurie, is designated by the governor to levy troops for the defense of Montreal [known at that time as Ville Marie] and he reorganizes his company. Many of his former soldiers join him, including Francois, who is still unmarried. He remains in garrison with his company for a few months but then returns to his farm at St Ours. [On 14 Sep 1671, at Boucherville, Francois leases for two years, a piece of land 50 arpents in area, belonging to Robert Henry. He also acquires a house to live in on the condition that he cut and clear two arpents of the land per year.] By trade, Francois was a weaver as were most of the residents of Beauvais, his native province. Therefore, whenever his farm work allows him free time and whenever there is a demand by the local peasants for his trade, he works as a weaver.
He must have dreamed of settling along the St Lawrence River because on 22 Sep 1672, he exchanges his farm at St Ours for that of Pierre Chaperon in Boucherville. [The new farm consists of two arpents in frontage by 25 arpents deep, and four square arpents have already been cleared. Is is bordered on either side by the lots of Gilbert Guilleman dit Duvaillars, former surgeon of the Carignan Regment, and Pierre Bourgery. On this same occasion, for the price of 85 livres, he also purchases a lot of one square half-arpent on which is situated a "barn which is found built there."] The deed is signed before the notary Thomas Frerot and it is followed by the sale of two or three lots from that same farm. His business transactions still leave him some time to do some socializing.
In fact, visiting a fille du roi, living with the Sisters of the Congregation, takes some of his time. Her name is Jeanne Petit, daughter of Jean Petit and of Jeanne Godreau, native of the parish St Marguerite in the [western port] city of La Rochelle [France].
On 10 Feb, 1671, several months before the arrival of a new ship carrying eligible young women, Colbert writes to Talon, informing him:
I have also ordered that you be sent certification of the places where the girls are from, which will clearly make known that they are free and of marriageable state.
Jeanne Petit, the daughter of Jean Petit and Jeanne Gaudreau, in our family genealogy, was one of these "Daughters of the King". Born in1656, she was from the parish of Ste Marguerite in the town of LaRochelle, in the historic province of Aunis on the west coast of France. Possibly she was from a poor family but both she and her parents saw an opportunity for her to better herself through the king's dowry, or perhaps she was an orphan as some of the young women were. During the year 1671, Jeanne was one of 125 women to make the voyage across the Atlantic, and was among the 19 who went to the Montreal region. After her arrival in Quebec on the ship L'Esperance, Jeanne likely was taken in under the protectorship of the Montreal-based Sisters of the Congregation of Notre-Dame (who had arrived in 1653 under Soeur Marguerite Bourgeoys), until a prospective husband might propose to her. It is unlikely that the Ursuline Nuns (who had arrived in 1636 and were under the direction of Soeur Marie Guyard de Incarnation) cared for her since they were based in Quebec City.
Francois must have met Jeanne during this period and developed a love interest in her because on Wednesday, 21 Sep 1692, a marriage contract was drawn up between the two of them by the notary, Thomas Frerot. This was done the day before he exchanged his farm at St Ours for the one in Boucherville. It becomes apparent that Francois met and courted Jeanne, proposed marriage to her, had the contract drawn up, and then made the exchange of farms with the intent of settling in Boucherville with his future bride. The unusual aspect of their engagement is that when the filles du roi arrived in Quebec and were allowed to disembark in groups at Quebec City, Trois Rivieres, and Montreal, they were normally married within two weeks. This quick matrimonial process occurred because the women would be taken during that period to a hall where they could be observed and addressed by the soldiers or habitants. The filles du roi however, would question the men as to whether they had land, if any of it had been cleared, and if they owned livestock. The women held the upper hand and made the final decision as to whether they would consent to marriage. Since Jeanne was born in 1656 and arrived in 1671, but did not become engaged until Sep 1672, one might speculate that she was sheltered by the nuns for at least a nine month period until she turned 16.
The original marriage contract is on file in the Judicial Archives of Montreal and reads in French (complete with spelling errors):
[Signatures or the marks of the persons in attendance who are named above appear at the bottom of the document. Francois initially signs his name simply as "Laderoute" but draws a line through it and then writes
"Francois Seguin."]
One month and ten days following the notarization of the marriage contract (similar to a marriage license application and a promise to marry), the wedding day arrives. Seven years have passed since Francois first landed in Nouvelle France as a soldier with the Carignan Regiment. On 31 Oct 1672, Francois Seguin dit Laderoute, the son of Laurent Seguin and Marie Massieu, marries Jeanne Petit, daughter of Jean Petit and Jeanne Gaudreau. The ceremony is performed by a
missionary priest, Fr Pierre de Caumont, at Ste Famille (Holy Family) parish in Boucherville, Quebec. According to Laforest, typically when a filles du roi would marry, "...the newly married couple was given 50 livres to buy provisions, plus an ox and a cow, two pigs, a pair of chickens, two barrels of salt meat, and 11 crowns of money. This was supposed to give the newlyweds a start. Together this couple of Francois and Jeanne forms Generation II of the Seguin family line.
The parish register of Ste Famille carries the marriage entry:
In the year of Our Lord, 1672, the 3lst of the month of October, after the proclamation of banns during three feast days at the celebration of the parish mass, having met no impediments, Pierre de Caumont, a missionary priest doing curial functions at Boucherville, after having done the necessary requests and interrogations to Francois Seguin, inhabitant of Boucherville, son of Laurent Seguin and of Marie Massieu, parish of Dombre in Picardie, diocese of Beauvais, and to Jeanne Petit, daughter of Jean Petit and of Jeanne Gaudreau, Ste Marguerite parish, town and diocese of LaRochelle, after having received their mutual consent, I, Pierre de Caumont, a missionary priest, married them in
presence of known witnesses.
/s/ Boucher, Remy, Jean la Fond
[The signatures of three witnesses who are present - Boucher, Remy, and Jean la Fond - appear at the bottom of the document. Seigneur Pierre Boucher for whom Boucherville is named and his wife, Jeanne Crevier, are notable witnesses to the ceremony, and shows the onsideration he had for Francois.]
On 25 Jan 1673, Francois sold the land he had acquired from Pierre Chaperon to Francois Senecal, a servant of seigneur Boucher. On this farm was "a house not completed." On 4 Apr 1673, Seigneur Boucher listed the 38 land grantees and Francois figured among them. He lived on a piece of land of 50 arpents (2 x 25 mentioned earlier), flanked by the lands of Jacques Menard and Pierre Martin. On 2 Jun 1675, Francois leased from Francois Pillet "a four year old brown cow valued at 60 lvres, which required Francois to feed the cow and any offspring and to pay Mr Pillet 12 livres per year. In the census of 1681, Francois declares his occupation to be a weaver, and with his wife, gives the names and ages of their first four children. On 10 Oct 1683, he leased a cow belonging to Denis Veronneau. On 24 Nov 1698, Francois sold his concession of 50 arpents [with a poor building upon it] to Jean Baptiste Lamoureux for 850 livres. Apparently immediate payment was made in 400 livres in playing card money, 200 in assorted merchandise, and 60 by the value of 20 minots of wheat. The remainder was due on the next feast of St Jean Baptiste, 24 Jun 1699. (The feast of St Jean Baptiste must have been a major holiday then even as it is today in Quebec.) On 15 Apr 1700, Francois and Jeanne are granted by Madame de la Valtrie the privilege of living on a strip of wooded land on the Ile Grosbois, along the channel. It is two arpents wide and deep [as far as the tip of the island, across from l'ile aux Raisins.] Francois, in addition to giving two work days each autumn, was required to take care of the donor's two cows. He and Jeanne lived together on this land until death. Francois originally was thought to have died 9 May 1704 in Montreal and buried on 10 May 1704 under the name of Pierre Seguin. Later research however, disclosed that marriage contracts of his daughter, Marie Madeleine, to Antoine Marie dit Ste Marie on 20 Nov 1700 (when Francois is shown as absent due to health reasons), and daughter, Marie Jeanne, to Joseph Robidou on 10 Oct 1701 (when Jeanne Petit is listed as a widow) prove that he did not die in 1704, but rather in the period of 20 Nov 1700 - 10 Oct 1701. His place of burial is unknown.
On 19 Mar 1713, Jeanne gave the concession of the Ile Grosbois, which she and Francois had originally received in Apr 1700, to Marie Anne Margane, the widow of Ignace Boucher. Jeanne then moved to Lachenaie to live with the third oldest of her children, Francois, who was 35 years old and married to Marie Louise Feuillon. Jeanne died on Sunday, 29 Mar 1733, and was buried in Longueuil, a community on the east side of Montreal.
On an interesting note, the author, Thomas J. Laforest, states in his book, Our French-Canadian Ancestors (Volume XXV):
When Pierre de Saint-Ours, former officer of the Carignan Regiment, drew up his will in 1704, he bequeathed "in case of death" 400 livres to the soldiers whom he had previously commanded. The name of Francois was mentioned in the list of beneficiaries. The seigneur died in 1724. [It is apparent that Saint-Ours was unaware of Francois' death which had already occurred around 1701.]
Noted events in his life were:
• Occupation: Habitant, 1672.
Francois married Francoise Jeanne PETIT, daughter of Jean PETIT and Jeanne GAUDREAU, on 31 Oct 1672 in Boucherville, Montréal, Québec, Canada. (Francoise Jeanne PETIT was born in 1643 in Sainte Marguerite de La Rochelle, France and died on 30 Mar 1733 in Longueuil, , Québec, Canada.)

Carignan Soldiers-Francois Seguin listed
http://www.fillesduroi.org/src/soldiers.htm
Alphabetical listing of the
Carignan-Salières Regiment Officers and Soldiers
(who settled in Canada)
No list of Carignan soldier-settlers will ever be perfect. Since no contemporary list was made in the 17th century – other than one with only nicknames, made at an unknown date – we can never be sure of the identity of all the members of the regiment. What we have attempted to do is make a better list than the one that was on the Society’s website.
The “unconfirmed” list includes men who are unconfirmed as being soldier-settlers from the Carignan regiment. That could obviously mean two things: that they are either unconfirmed as having been Carignan soldiers or they are soldiers who are unconfirmed as having settled in Canada. The reason why we have decided to publish this list is to incite members and others to submit documented proof that a man on this list was or was not a Carignan soldier who settled in Canada after 1668. That way, we can all work together to improve the list and share our knowledge about the regiment.
The term “Carignan-Salières regiment” should be taken to include the 20 companies that formally made up the regiment plus the four companies (Berthier, La Brisandière, La Durantaye and Monteil) that arrived in Canada with the Marquis de Tracy. The reason is simple: while only the first 20 companies can truly be called members of the Carignan-Salières regiment, all 24 companies came over at the same time, with the same mission, under the same command structure and were all demobilized at the same time and given the same benefits and incentives to settle in Canada. As such, we can refer to them as one group, and the easiest way to refer to this group is by the name that identifies the majority.
By “Canada,” we mean the French colony in the Saint Lawrence Valley. The term “New France” encompasses a larger area, and includes the Mississippi Valley/Louisiana and also Acadia. While some soldiers and officers of the Carignan regiment did settle in Acadia, they are not included in the soldier-settler list, because little factual information is known about them or their descendants, for lack of records from this area at that time.
There are certainly corrections and modifications to be made, most notably in relation to the “unconfirmed” list, and as time goes by the Society will make them and our knowledge of the regiment will be that much richer for it.

Alphabetical listing of the
Carignan-Salières Regiment Officers and Soldiers
(who settled in Canada)
No list of Carignan soldier-settlers will ever be perfect. Since no contemporary list was made in the 17th century – other than one with only nicknames, made at an unknown date – we can never be sure of the identity of all the members of the regiment. What we have attempted to do is make a better list than the one that was on the Society’s website.
The “unconfirmed” list includes men who are unconfirmed as being soldier-settlers from the Carignan regiment. That could obviously mean two things: that they are either unconfirmed as having been Carignan soldiers or they are soldiers who are unconfirmed as having settled in Canada. The reason why we have decided to publish this list is to incite members and others to submit documented proof that a man on this list was or was not a Carignan soldier who settled in Canada after 1668. That way, we can all work together to improve the list and share our knowledge about the regiment.
The term “Carignan-Salières regiment” should be taken to include the 20 companies that formally made up the regiment plus the four companies (Berthier, La Brisandière, La Durantaye and Monteil) that arrived in Canada with the Marquis de Tracy. The reason is simple: while only the first 20 companies can truly be called members of the Carignan-Salières regiment, all 24 companies came over at the same time, with the same mission, under the same command structure and were all demobilized at the same time and given the same benefits and incentives to settle in Canada. As such, we can refer to them as one group, and the easiest way to refer to this group is by the name that identifies the majority.
By “Canada,” we mean the French colony in the Saint Lawrence Valley. The term “New France” encompasses a larger area, and includes the Mississippi Valley/Louisiana and also Acadia. While some soldiers and officers of the Carignan regiment did settle in Acadia, they are not included in the soldier-settler list, because little factual information is known about them or their descendants, for lack of records from this area at that time.
There are certainly corrections and modifications to be made, most notably in relation to the “unconfirmed” list, and as time goes by the Society will make them and our knowledge of the regiment will be that much richer for it.
