the sixth corps was here. because people were panicking when they heard that the confederates were out at the gates. the sixth corps marched up georgia salve, went by the places we know, the smithsonian and government buildings out here. they took part in the fighting that happened on july 11th and that fighting went on into the night. after that early heard a council of war out in silver springs which is a couple of miles from here, at the mansion of the blair -- it's not the blair mansion. it's called silver spring. it was the blair mansion. the blair family, they owned blair house down by the white house. they were out of town. they had gone fishing in pennsylvania. now early held a counsel of war that night with his generals, rhodes, gordon and breckenridge. john c. breckenridge was the former vice president of the united states under buchanan. he was a confederate general. he had been in that house before and knew where the wine cellar was some so early and the men drank up the blair's wine that night and

he wrecks his cavalry corps in the process.o at first when hood receives newses that the federal trenches north of the city are vacant, what do you think he believes? wheeler's raid been a success. sherman's retreating to the north. but then, he realizes he, hood, when's going on and he dispatches two corps south to the vicinity of joans borough. you will see jonesborough at the south and the two corps down there are given the orders to push the army of the tennessee away from the railroad, protect that vital supply line and the first day of the battle of jonesboro, the last battle of the campaign, these two corps, confederate corps launch attack that is are repulsed. in the meantime, hood finds out that the -- that his rail lines north of jonesboro have been broken. you can see that on the map with thomas and skofield and he abandons the city. hood on the night of september 1st, marching the troops in the city south to rejoin those who had been at jonesboro. during the evacuation of the city, the confederates discovered they'v

they did that and this time early could see that the 6th corps was here. they had a distinctive patch, it was a white cross. so he did not, again, did not invade. however, there was more fighting. there was skirmishing, there was artillery exchanges. men were killed. there were 300 union causalities and we're going to go to the union cemetery later. 300 dead and wounded, we don't know officially how many confederates were wounded, never made the records, but had to be that many or many. that fighting went all of july 12th, or most of the night. july 13th, they looked out here and early's army was gone. they retraced their steps, went back through montgomery county, poolsville and crossed the potomac at whites ford and if anybody has been to whites ford, there's a ferry boat that goes across the potomac and the name of the ferry boat is the jubal early and that's where my story ends on july 13th, 1864, a month after early, june 13th, had left richmond to go on this four-part mission. this is georgia avenue that you just looked at, which used to be known as

they even surpassed the army air corps which had enormous casualty rates. mean, the casualty rates for the army air corps were phenomenally high. but per capita, the chaplains were even more highly decorated. for example, there were 2,453 decorations for various forms of valor for the chaplains. 2,453. those went to 1,783 chaplains. in other words, a lot of these chaplains had more than one. well, one such chaplain is joseph o'connell. the yanks had gone in on the shore farther down the coast of france and chaplain o'connell, here's what the citation said. chaplain o'connell, upon witnessing a landing craft, received a direct hit by an enemy bomb, crossed a heavily mined beach in the darkness. keep in mind, the beach is covered with mines. a german shell or bomb has blown up a landing craft and the chaplain takes off in the darkness. it says although unable to swim -- now, this chaplain could not swim and guided only by calls for help proceeded alone 9vwiczuhp &hc% he finds an abandoned raft, makes it out the the vessel. despite continual explosions on the

his corps commanders were supposed to send their units forward in echelon. the attacks ended up being uncoordinated, not very well managed by the core commanders, and after hard fighting, the federal's managed to hold their line. confederate casualties numbered about 2500. federals about 2100. you can find a book on the battle, a very detailed tactical study by my friend robert jenkins, that i very much recommend. we are only now getting details of the battles in the west. we have had details of the eastern battles for many decades. a day after peach creek, hood learned that the far left flank is vulnerable. it's in the air. and he decides to try to execute a flanking march to strike this vulnerable portion of sherman's line. this is part of the army of tennessee under mcpherson. hood orders a very long flank march on the night of july 21 under the troops of hardy. these are men who had already had an exhausting 48 hours before hand. what hood was asking his men to do was simply unrealistic in terms of their physical abilities. they were exhausted soldiers.

who made up the corps?ashington, d.c., when early came here to monocacy on july 9th and the battle started. this was not a good example of union high leadership. first of all, union intelligence was abysmal throughout the war, it was not good here, the union did not know that robert e. lee had taken an entire corps of troops outside richmond. they didn't know until july 5th when they crossed the potomac river. then you had a little bit of panic going on, especially when word got out that early was heading toward washington or baltimore. people didn't know. here at monday of course ascy, it's strategically a northwest and east/south transportation connection. we have the 355 over here which it was called then. it goes directly on a line to washington, d.c., today it's culled the urbana pike here, it becomes rockville pike and then becomes wisconsin avenue goes right into washington. up a little ways we have the old national pike which goes straight to baltimore. then we have the railroad line which comes str

johnson claimed that his calvary, joe wheeler's calvary corps, couldn't do this.so what johnson proposed was to ride east to force the supply line. this would involve stripping alabama and mississippi and all of their defenders. and that was something that davis, i think wisely, refused to do. alabama and mississippi were pretty important states. they would have opened up important industrial cities. it would not have been a smart move. we don't have time to talk about the ways u but you can later, if you're interested. on july 18, 1864, he makes the extremely controversial decision of relieving joe johnson in commands and replacing him with one of his core commanders. he personally sacrificed a lot. you all know the nature of his wounds. the loss of a leg, the partial loss of the use of an arm here at guess burg. in the message that relieved joe johnson, you are hereby relieved. so hood takes command. and he has a mandate, a very clear mandate that he has to fight for the city of at lan ñ hoe doesn't have a lot of room to maneuver. the attacks ended up being unco
