MARYLAND CIVIL WAR TRAILS

THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGNH H

The Battle of Gettysburg lasted three days. The Gettysburg Cam-paign took 35 days, with most of the advance and retreat occurring

in Maryland. The first battle of the cam-paign—the largest cavalry engagement of the Civil War—occurred on June 9, 1863, at Brandy Station, Virginia, on the Orange & Alexandria Railroad. Despite being sur-prised, Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart ral-lied and held the high ground at the end of the day, thus protecting Gen. Robert E. Lee’s right flank.

Lee was moving north. Motivated by his recent stunning victories at Freder-icksburg and Chancellorsville, he decided to launch a second invasion into Union ter-ritory. The first incursion had ended nine months earlier with the Confederate retreat from Antietam. This time Lee intended to carry the war across the Mason and Dixon Line into Pennsylvania.

The Shenan-doah Valley in Vir-ginia and the Cum-berland Valley in Maryland became Lee’s avenue of inva-sion. By June 15, Lee’s army had cleared its path with a victory at the Second Battle of Win-chester. Throughout the next week, the Confederates splashed northward across the Potomac River at Boteler’s Ford and at Williamsport, then marched through Western Maryland towns like Hagerstown and Smithsburg. The bulk of the 75,000 Con-federates entered Pennsylvania by June 25.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Army searched des-perately for the Confederates. The Blue Ridge Mountains effectively screened Lee’s movements, and Union cavalry probes at

THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGNH H

Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville had failed to discover him. Finally, on June 24, the Union began crossing the Poto-mac at Edward’s Ferry to concentrate at Frederick. They then lurched north toward Emmitsburg and east into Car-roll County on a dual mission to con-front the invaders and protect Balti-more and Washington, D.C., along the “Pipe Creek Line.”

Stuart, meanwhile, separated from Lee, conducted a cavalry raid east of the main Union army. Although Stuart captured 125 wagons and 400 prisoners near Rockville, his raid through central Maryland deprived Lee of his army’s “eyes and ears” during much of the campaign.

On July 4, following their defeat at the Battle of Gettysburg, the Confed-erates began retreating through Wash-ington County, reversing the paths they had followed two weeks earlier. A flooded Potomac River prevented immediate escape, and for nearly one week, pursuing Union troops trapped the Confederates at Williams port and Falling Waters. The Gettysburg Cam-paign ended on July 14 when Lee finally recrossed the river.

WHO’S IN COMMANDTHE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN

Gen. Joseph Hooker was furious. The Army of the Potomac’s commander had demanded that Washington

authorize him to abandon Maryland Heights and transfer the 10,000 men guarding the mountain fortress at Harpers Ferry to the main army in Frederick, Md. After the War Depart-ment refused, Hooker, in a rage, offered his resignation on June 27, 1863.

It was a bad time to pick a fight with the Lincoln administration, since Gen. Robert E. Lee had invaded Mary-land and Pennsylvania after thrashing Hooker at Chancellorsville, Va. Lincoln could not afford petty bickering during this dire emergency. He accepted Hook-er’s resignation and replaced him with Gen. George G. Meade.

A courier delivered Lincoln’s orders to an unsuspecting and startled Meade at 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 28, near Frederick. Meade had not cam-paigned for the job; his steady record of success had earned him the position on merit. “I am moving at once against Lee,” he wrote to his wife. “[A] battle will decide the fate for our country and our cause.”

CHESAPEAKE BAYWHERE’S STUART

Confederate Gen. James Ewell Brown Stuart served as Gen. Robert E. Lee’s “eyes and ears” as the Army of North-

ern Virginia invaded Northern soil in June 1863. Lee directed him to protect his right flank, avoid protracted engagements with the Union troops, and capture provisions while gathering information.

Stuart dis-rupted Union communication and supply lines, alarming Washington and Baltimore. He also lost contact with Lee, rendering him blind and deaf to the whereabouts of the Union and frustrating him as the military situation changed.

Once Lee’s infantry stumbled into Gen. George G. Meade’s Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg early on July 1, 1863, Stuart’s absence further limited Lee’s options. Delayed by a captured Union wagon train and various engage-ments, Stuart did not reach Gettysburg until late on July 2. Union Gen. David McM. Gregg’s cavalry command thwarted his attack on the Union’s rear the next day. Criticism of Stuart’s per-formance in the Gettysburg Campaign began soon after the battle and has con-tinued ever since.

Communications are extremely important in wartime, both for locating and predicting the movements of the enemy and

for keeping track of friendly forces. The Civil War was the first war in which the electric telegraph was used extensively. The U.S. Signal Corps, established in June 1860 under Maj. Albert J. Myer, was the first corps of officers and men whose sole mission was communication. Myer had developed a flag-signaling sys-tem in the 1850s called “wigwagging.” A student of his, Edwin Porter Alexan-der, went South and founded the Confed-erate Signal Corps. At night torches were used instead of flags, but each method could only be used when the weather allowed good visibility. Both sides used Myer’s system to communicate during battles as well as during campaigns.

Wigwag signal stations were placed on high ground with unobstructed views and moved when the army moved. Capt. Lemuel Norton was U.S. Chief Signal Officer during the Gettysburg cam-paign, and Col. William Norris headed the Confederate Signal Corps.

During the Civil War, Marylanders struggled to maintain normality despite repeated military incursions. At the start of the

war, U.S. troops were immediately deployed to occupy areas sympathetic to the South. Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia invaded in 1862 and 1863, and Gen. Jubal A. Early’s forces invaded in 1864.

The Federal government suspended some civil rights in areas under martial law and arrested citizens for many rea-sons, including “disloyalty.” Confederates under Gen. J.E.B. Stuart arrested Union supporters, including Mollie Dawson’s father in Rockville, to prevent them from trans-mitting information. Members of Mollie’s family fought on both sides. Taunted in school for her family’s allegiance, she and her siblings worried that their father would again face Confederate arrest.

Union and Confederate forces occu-pied communities to secure strategic roads and lines of communication. They disrupted everyday life, sometimes getting into alter-cations with citizens and stealing livestock. Virginia Moore of Bethesda recalled an intoxicated soldier stealing her chicken:

“Had we reported him our lives would not have been safe.” In this climate of confusion and mistrust, some families provided meals to Union officers camped nearby to protect their livestock and crops from marauding soldiers and to supplement their incomes. Lt. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (later a U.S. Supreme Court justice), of the 20th Massa-chusetts Infantry, wrote, “To the rear of our hill … is a secesher’s house (Mrs. Mary E. Chiswell) where we eat & paid 37 cents for delicious dinners of goose & ice cream.”

Marylanders did not suffer the short-ages and privations of the South but did experience destroyed roads, crops, fences, wood lots and structures caused by constant troop movements. They faced curfews, car-ried passes to cross Union picket lines and endured unreliable newspaper accounts and rumors. Men 18–45 years old were sub-ject to the draft. When faced with arrest from either government; however, political opponents often stepped forward to defend neighbors. Though divided by loyalties, Marylanders were united by community.

The only known photographs of Confederate troops march-ing under arms were taken at the intersection of Patrick

and Market Streets in Frederick in September 1862.

LINCOLN GOES TO GETTYSBURG

As you drive this tour in your climate-controlled vehicle, consider the plight of the Civil War infantryman who trudged

the same route, putting one tired foot in front of the other in all types of weather while wearing ill-fitting army shoes and toting 60 pounds of equipment.

A typical division of the Army of the Potomac, numbering between 3,000 and 5,000 men, and including wagons carry-ing food and ammunition, could stretch out along four miles of road. The typical marching day would last from dawn into the afternoon at a rate of two and a half miles per hour.

During the Gettysburg Campaign, however, soldiers sometimes marched more than 30 miles at a stretch. After a miserable hike of 35 miles on June 24, 1863, Pvt. Alex Haley of the 17th Maine Infantry complained in his diary, “Ye gods! … I could stand no more of this.” But the next day he got up and hoofed it for six more miles, testifying to the amaz-ing resilience of the American soldier.

When President Abraham Lincoln learned of Union victories at Vicksburg and Gettysburg in July

1863, he told a crowd it was providen-tial that they had occurred around the nation’s birthday. “Gentlemen,” he

added, “this is a glorious theme, and the occasion for a speech, but I am not pre-pared to make one worthy of the occasion.” He found his occa-sion that fall at the dedication of the cem etery at Gettysburg. By the time Lincoln left Washington,

D.C. by train on November 18, he had substantially completed his speech, adding the final touches in Gettysburg.

At the ceremony on November 19, Lincoln followed a widely praised two-hour oration by Edward Everett, the principal speaker. Lincoln delivered his 272-word speech in a few minutes and sat down, his brevity surprising the crowd, and scattered applause leaving him uncertain whether it had been “worthy of the occasion” after all. His supporters called it “thrilling” and his enemies thought it “silly,” but subsequent generations of Americans have proclaimed the speech immortal.

Biting on a bullet during surgery and amputating limbs because doctors didn’t know how to do any-

thing else are but two of the many myths about Civil War medical care. In fact, medical science made great strides despite ignorance of the germ theory of infection and the many deaths from infection and disease.

After the Battle of Gettysburg, the wagon train carrying 10,000 wounded Confederates stretched 17 miles as the army made the agonizing 50 mile retreat to Virginia. Gen. John D. Imboden’s brigade protected the train. He later recalled that during the night of July 4, 1863, as the cries of the wounded and dying soldiers mixed with thunder, lightning, and sheets of rain, “I realized more of the horrors of war than I had in all the preceding years.”
