FIGHT FOR THE COLORS.
Civil War Times. Aug2021, Vol. 60 Issue 4, p26-37. 12p. 10 Color Photographs, 7 Black and White Photographs, 1 Map.
The article examines the effort of the 62nd Pennsylvania Infantry to defend its Union flag in the Wheatfield fighting during the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. Topics discussed include the impact of the decision of lieutenant general James Longstreet not to follow the directive of general Northern Virginia Army Robert E. Lee, trap set by Confederate general William T. Wofford for the regiments under Colonel Jacob Sweitzer, and hindrance to the retreat of the 62nd from the stone wall.

Surveillance and Spies in the Civil War : Exposing Confederate Conspiracies in America ’s Heartland
2015
Surveillance and Spies in the Civil War represents pathbreaking research on the rise of U.S . Army intelligence operations in the Midwest during the American Civil War and counters long-standing assumptions about Northern politics and society. At the beginning of the rebellion, state governors in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois cooperated with federal law enforcement officials in various attempts—all failed—to investigate reports of secret groups and individuals who opposed the Union war effort. Starting in 1862, army commanders took it upon themselves to initiate investigations of antiwar sentiment in those states . By 1863, several of them had established intelligence operations staffed by hired civilian detectives and by soldiers detailed from their units to chase down deserters and draft dodgers, to maintain surveillance on suspected persons and groups, and to investigate organized resistance to the draft. By 1864, these spies had infiltrated secret organizations that, sometimes in collaboration with Confederate rebels, aimed to subvert the war effort. Stephen E. Towne is the first to thoroughly explore the role and impact of Union spies against Confederate plots in the North. This new analysis invites historians to delve more deeply into the fabric of the Northern wartime experience and reinterpret the period based on broader archival evidence.

Living Monuments : Confederate Soldiers' Homes in the New South
1993
While battlefield parks and memorials erected in town squares and cemeteries have served to commemorate southern valor in the Civil War, Confederate soldiers'homes were actually'living monuments'to the Lost Cause, housing the very men who made that cause their own. R. B. Rosenburg provides the first account of the establishment and operation of these homes for disabled and indigent southern veterans, which had their heyday between the 1880s and the 1920s. These institutions were commonly perceived as dignified retreats, where veterans who had seen better days could find peace, quiet, comfort, and happiness. But as Rosenburg shows, the harsher reality often included strict disciplinary tactics to maintain order and the treatment of indigent residents as wards and inmates rather than honored veterans. Many men chafed under the rigidly paternalistic administrative control and resented being told by their'betters'how to behave. Rosenburg makes clear the idealism and sense of social responsibility that motivated the homes'founders and administrators, while also showing that from the outset the homes were enmeshed in political self-interest and the exploitation of the Confederate heritage.

Refighting Pickett's Charge: Mathematical Modeling of the Civil War Battlefield.
Social Science Quarterly (Wiley-Blackwell). Dec2015, Vol. 96 Issue 4, p1153-1168. 16p.
Objective We model Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg to see whether the Confederates could have achieved victory by committing more infantry , executing a better barrage, or facing a weaker defense. Methods Our mathematical modeling is based on Lanchester equations, calibrated using historical army strengths. We weight the Union artillery and infantry two different ways using two sources of data, and so have four versions of the model. Results The models estimate that a successful Confederate charge would have required at least one to three additional brigades. An improved artillery barrage would have reduced these needs by about one brigade . A weaker Union defense could have allowed the charge to succeed as executed. Conclusions The Confederates plausibly had enough troops to take the Union position and alter the battle's outcome, but likely too few to further exploit such a success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Into the Breach at CHICKAMAUGA.
America's Civil War. Jan2007, Vol. 19 Issue 6, p36-43. 8p.
The article presents a brief sketch of the Battle of Chickamauga in Georgia in September 1863. It highlights the way in which the Army of Cumberland was rescued from imminent peril by the Reserve Corps commanded by Major General Gordon Granger. Three brigades of the Reserve Corps were deployed to Horseshoe Ridge, by Granger, to reinforce the XIV Corps led by Major General George H . Thomas, without receiving any orders from the higher authorities to do so.
