Book excerpt: Contains more than 20 maps, diagrams and illustrations Although "Fighting Joe" Hooker skillfully executes a well-conceived plan and out-flanks his adversary, months of offensive planning are shelved as he suddenly orders his army on the defensive. Lee seizes the initiative and achieves what has often been called his most brilliant victory. How could this happen when Hooker's army outnumbers that of Lee 2 to 1 and is far superior in artillery and logistics? Answers to these and other questions concerning leadership, communications, use of terrain, and the psychology of men in battle, are often found by personal reconnaissance of the battlefield. This book offers a staff ride briefing of Chancellorsville. Since 1906 staff rides have been used to in the education of U.S. Army officers to narrow the gap between peacetime training and war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Ten Days Service of the Old Third Corps ("as We Understand It") With the Army of the Potomac: Address Delivered After the Anniversary Dinner of the Third Corps Union, 5th May, 1887, at the Hotel Windsor, New York The night of the 1st-2d was the witches' sabbath of the artillery, the Walpurgis night of the big guns. Those who heard the crash and roar on that occasion are not likely to for get it. It was as if thousands of locomotives had gone insane and rivalled each other in making the darkness hideous with every species of howl and clamor of which steam or explosives and iron are capable. The next day broke beautifully; the weather was lovely. The spring sun seemed to laugh benignantly as its rays played among the developing foliage. Heaven and earth seemed to rejoice together over the Union success. It was a Sunday, and on it the Rebel armies prepared to evacuate their capital, which they had defended so obstinately for three years, and Peters burg, which had held Grant in check for over ten months. It was a sort Of poetical justice that the occupation of these two places fell in a great measure to the negro troops, and that those who had despised the black, and denied to him the rights of a man, should suffer this last and supreme humiliation.

Download or read book History of the Nineteenth Army Corps written by Richard Irwin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Biddle Irwin relays the history of the famous XIX Corps, a unit in the Union Army famed for its successes and daring during the American Civil War. This edition includes the original battlefield maps. A series of daring victories swiftly established the special reputation of the Nineteenth. At the height of their prowess, the company demonstrated great martial skill during the Siege of Port Hudson and in Shenandoah Valley. Notably, the Nineteenth had a large contingent of black soldiers; many performed with particular bravery and finesse in combat, and Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks - to whom the unit was first attached - gave due praise. After they were raised in New Orleans, the Nineteenth Corps were set to skirmish in the rough, boggy terrain of rural Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. Harsher than the northerly lands, it was here that they cut their teeth, polished their skills and gained a certain edge over their counterparts stationed in easier climes. After a few months they were set to besiege Port Hudson; a lengthy process that helped hone the troop's patience, appreciation for sound strategy and capacity for valiance. After the eventual surrender of the Port, the Nineteenth was enrolled in the Union initiative known as the Red River Campaign. Though a failure owing to poor strategy and conflict between those in high command, the Nineteenth fought bravely. Losing many of their number but inflicting casualties the Confederates could ill afford, the Nineteenth eventually retreated and were stationed in Savannah, Georgia. Perhaps the most famous association the XIX Corps has today is with General Sheridan at the Third Battle of Winchester. A fierce conflict that took many lives, officers and troopers alike suffered badly. However, historians including Irwin view this as a crucial turning point - the Nineteenth's valiance in the face of such carnage was distinctive. Irwin's accounts are thorough and meticulous, yet he never loses sight of the dramatic and exciting nature of the subject. He takes us through the journey of the Nineteenth from a raw, inexperienced unit into a force of fierce, disciplined and tactically adept veterans. This edition contains his original battlefield maps and charts.
