Extractions: The Battle of Olustee Early in the morning of February 20, 1864, General Seymour's army left Barbers' Station and moved westward towards Lake City. Because of the necessity of posting garrisons at Jacksonville and elsewhere , the Union force consisted of between 5,000 and 5,500 men. The small army was divided into three brigades of infantry, one brigade of mounted troops, and supporting artillery The Federals advanced in three columns along the Lake City and Jacksonville Road, which ran roughly parallel to the Florida Atlantic and Gulf-Central Railroad. The Federal cavalry was in the vanguard, followed by the slower-moving infantry. By mid-day the Federals had reached Sanderson , where they briefly stopped for lunch. While it Sanderson, Seymour and his staff were warned by a defiant southern woman: "'You will come back faster than you go."' The Union officers were amused at her boldness. In the early afternoon of February 20, a few miles west of Sanderson, the advance elements of the Union cavalry began skirmishing with a few southern horsemen that appeared to their front. This skirmishing was maintained for several miles, with the Federals driving the Confederates westward towards the railroad station at Olustee, about ten miles east of Lake City. Southern resistance intensified as the Federals neared Olustee.
Confederate Military Records At The SC Archives
confederate military Records at the South Carolina Department. The Archives only has the service records of units from South Carolina.
http://www.state.sc.us/scdah/confedrc.htm

Extractions: September 24-25, 2004 Tracing your ancestor's service in the Confederate army during the Civil War can be a very rewarding part of genealogical research. As the first state to secede from the Union, South Carolina has had an abiding interest in preserving a record of the Palmetto State's service to the Confederate States of America. Today, the South Carolina Department of Archives and History continues that tradition with its collection of Confederate military records. The records listed below, consisting of National Archives' microfilm and original documents from various state agencies, are the primary tools for tracing your ancestor's Confederate service. A Guide to Civil War Records , a more in depth description to our Civil War collection is available from our publications branch. All the records listed below are available to the public in SC Archives' Reference Room. For your ease, we have broken the list into two groups: military service records and veteran benefit records.

Fort Kearny's Unconventional Army Units
Arguably, the Pawnee scouts were the best military unit stationed at Fort Kearny. units garrisoned at Fort Kearny provided protection for the union
http://bchs.kearney.net/BTales_200502.htm

Extractions: Fort Kearny was operational near present day Kearney, Nebraska from 1848 until 1871. During this short period, soldiers at Fort Kearny played an important role in protecting and supplying overland travelers along the Platte River road. During the Civil War, when the Plains Indians stepped up their attacks on the Great Plains, Fort Kearny and its soldiers played a crucial role in protecting overland emigrants and Nebraska settlers. Although the fort was usually garrisoned by regular troops, a shortage of soldiers during the Civil War forced the military to send many unconventional military units to Fort Kearny, Nebraska volunteer militias, Galvanized Yankees (Confederate prisoners of war), and Indian scout units all called Fort Kearny home at one time or another. The unconventional units stationed at Fort Kearny were paramount in pacifying Nebraska and the Great Plains and opening the doors for settlement. Indian attacks were sparked by the massive migrations of overland travelers that swept across the Nebraska Territory from the late 1840's through the 1860's. As traffic increased along the overland trails, Native Americans became more hostile towards overland travelers. The travelers spread disease, decimated native grasses, and utilized nearly all the timber along the Platte River road, which had detrimental effects on Native Americans and caused the buffalo to disperse. The overland travelers, freight companies, and businessmen who operated road ranches along the Platte River lobbied the federal government to establish forts and a military presence to protect citizens and discourage hostile activities by the local indigenous population.

Extractions: A Brief Introduction to Genealogy and the American Civil War The American Civil War provided many documents which have information vital for those interested in family history. Many men born from 1825 to 1847 served in the armies, but many older men and some young boys also participated. In addition, draft reg istration provides records of others in that age group who did not serve. Each of these books gives detailed information and sources to aid your research.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/04/0427_hunleyapril27.html

Extractions: The find baffles researchers. Was it a war souvenir? Or did it belong to a defector or a spy? Perhaps a Union soldier asked a Confederate opponent on the battlefield to take the tag and send it to his family as an indication of his death. Hunley researchers say all these scenarios are possible. The Hunley sank on February 17, 1864, when it attacked the Union's Housatonic, becoming the first submarine to sink a warship. The sub and its crew of nine never returned from the mission. The remains of the sub were found 131 years later, in May 1995, in the mud of Charleston Harbor, and were raised in August 2000. Since then, scientists have been painstakingly recovering the bones of the crew and other artifacts from the sludge-filled submarine hull. At a news conference in Charleston on Friday, scientists said the name on the Union dog tag is Ezra Chamberlin. Records indicate he enlisted in the Union Army on September 6, 1861, and was a member of Company K, 7th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers.

Extractions: Missouri Civil War Union Militia Organizations During the Civil War, the state of Missouri had many types of Union military organizations. This document discusses each type. A bibliography, provided at the end of this document, lists all sources consulted. The primary source consulted was Organization and status of Missouri troops Union and Confederate , in service during the Civil War (United States Record and Pension Office, 1902). Copies are available at Central Library . (Call number: 973.74). Notes: Many Missouri men served in more than one type of military unit during the four-year conflict. Men serving in short-term militia units organized shortly after the attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861, for instance, later often enlisted in Missouri Volunteer Regiments or in Enrolled Missouri Militia units. Some men even served in units on both sides of the conflict during the war (in some cases, men detained in prison camps volunteered to serve in the enemy army in order to avoid the possibility of dying due to diseases contracted while being held prisoner). Missouri Civil War Union soldiers would be eligible to receive a postwar federal military pension and benefits if the units in which they served had been sworn into federal service, if the units in which they served were formally recognized by the War Department as having been at some point in the service of the United States, or if they had been disabled by wounds or other injuries incurred while their unit "was temporarily cooperating with a unit of the military forces of the United States," and had filed a pension or benefit claim based on that wound or injury prior to July 4, 1874.

On 16 March 1802, the Congress of the United States authorized President Thomas Jefferson to organize a Corps of Engineers, which "shall be stationed at West Point, New York," and "shall constitute a military academy," with classes beginning in April 1802. [1] The academy progressed from a disorganized and largely unknown institute to one with a record of high academic excellence, producing officers who would make a name for themselves in military and civil affairs. While the graduates of West Point distinguished themselves in different branches within the Army, attesting to the quality of their military education, the curriculum was designed to provide an engineering education to supply the United States with trained engineers.

Grant, helped achieve a Union victory in the Civil War. Who were other important military leaders for the Union? For the Confederacy? Compare the armies, supplies, strategic positions, and overall goals of both the Union and the Confederacy at the outset of the war. Considering the strengths and weaknesses of each side, do you think a Union victory was assured? Why or why not? The important military leaders for the Confederacy included: P.G.T. Beauregard, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Johnston, Joseph E. Johnston, Robert E. Lee, and James Longstreet. The Union could boast many advantages over the Confederacy at the start of the war. The Union had a population of 18 million, while the Confederacy had only 9 million, 3.6 million of whom were slaves. Farmers in the North produced more edible crops like corn, wheat, and oats than their southern counterparts, and most of the country's deposits of iron, coal, copper, and precious metals were found in the North. Ninety percent of the county's manufacturing capacity, two-thirds of the total railway mileage, and most of the factories for building trains were located in northern states. The Union controlled the seas and had access to European factories and trade.

http://www.altonweb.com/history/civilwar/confed/

Extractions: The Alton prison opened in 1833 as the first Illinois State Penitentiary and was closed in 1860, when the last prisoners were moved to a new facility at Joliet. By late in 1861 an urgent need arose to relieve the overcrowding at 2 St. Louis prisons. On December 31, 1861, Major General Henry Halleck, Commander of the Department of the Missouri, ordered Lieutenant-Colonel James B. McPherson to Alton for an inspection of the closed penitentiary. Colonel McPherson reported that the prison could be made into a military prison and house up to 1,750 prisoners with improvements estimated to cost $2,415. The first prisoners arrived at the Alton Federal Military Prison on February 9, 1862 and members of the 13 th U.S. Infantry were assigned as guards, with Colonel Sidney Burbank commanding. During the next three years over 11,764 Confederate prisoners would pass through the gates of the Alton Prison. Of the four different classes of prisoners housed at Alton, Confederate soldiers made up most of the population. Citizens, including several women, were imprisoned here for treasonable actions, making anti-Union statements, aiding an escaped Confederate, etc. Others, classified as bushwhackers or guerillas, were imprisoned for acts against the government such as bridge burning and railroad vandalism. Conditions in the prison were harsh and the mortality rate was above average for a Union prison. Hot, humid summers and cold Midwestern winters took a heavy toll on prisoners already weakened by poor nourishment and inadequate clothing. The prison was overcrowded much of the time and sanitary facilities were inadequate. Pneumonia and dysentery were common killers but contagious diseases such as smallpox and rubella were the most feared. When smallpox infection became alarmingly high in the winter of 1862 and spring of 1863, a quarantine hospital was located on an island across the Mississippi River from the prison.
