While many volumes have been written on the war from any number of perspectives and the “top 100 battles” have been dissected in excruciating detail, most of these 6,000 events lie largely unexplored and forgotten.
This work focuses on uncovering and telling those stories. It is not our intent or objective to refight the war, but to uncover and document the stories of these families in the war.
This volume is excerpted from our multi-volume work, “All the Battles of the Civil War” which gives a narrative account of the more than 5,000 events which occurred in the war. This work runs to more than 2,700 pages and forms the basis of our series of “Historical Sketch and Roster” volumes on each of the more than 6,000 units formed for both the Union and the Confederacy.
This Week in Review
This week in the war was all about guerilla warfare. In Albert Tilton's Last Letter to Robert Tilton July 20 , 1862
Camp Big Springs Miss
Near Corinth July 20/62 Sunday Night 12 P.M.
Dear Robert
We are gwine to leave dis yer place. We are gwine gorillaing. We is just done gone tired of snooping around dis yer Big Spring of cobalt water.
We leave here tomorrow morning at 5, bag and baggage. We are going to guard the M & C Road between Iuka & Eastport - 60 miles. The whole division is going. Iuka is 30 miles East of here. Eastport is East of Iuka 60 miles. Gorillas are thick as mosquitoes down there & mosquitoes as thick as skirmishers on Mike Hoover's shirt."
The officers were all consumed with logistics this week except for Rear Admiral Farragut on the Mississippi. Despite his newly achieved rank and the title of Rear Admiral which was created just for him, Farragut’s flotilla of 32 ships proved to be no match for the C.S.S. Arkansas and the shore batteries along the river at Vicksburg.
Meanwhile Lincoln was involved in some tactical planning of his own.
The discussions of the Lincoln cabinet regarding Emancipation are reported to have taken place on July 22, 1862 in Lincoln’s office as depicted in Francis Carpenter’s famous painting, First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation.
“His draft proclamation set January 1, 1863, little more than five months away, as the date on which all slaves within states still in rebellion against the Union would be declared free, ‘Thenceforth and forever’. It required no cumbersome enforcement proceedings. Though it did not cover the roughly 425,000 slaves in the loyal border states - where, without the use of his war powers, no constitutional authority justified his action-the proclamation was shocking in scope. Three and a half million blacks who had lived enslaved for generations s were promised freedom. It was a daring move.”
As time would see, this plan did not lead to the hoped for insurrection in the south, nor did the “freed” slaves prove to be an effective army.
