Samuel “Sam” Welty Bayer FOUNDER OF TH E VALLEY R EVUE
Sam established and founded The Cumberland Valley Revue magazine in 1971. He and his wife, Lois, published the magazine for 25 years. Sam was born on May 6, 1928 in Ringgold, Md., and grew up in the Leitersburg and Benevola areas. Following a stint in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, Sam was employed by Office Equipment Co. of Hagerstown from 1953 to 1965. He was executive director of Washington County Community Action Council from 1967 to 1970. Active in the community for many years, Sam was a member of Leitersburg Ruritan Club for over 20 years, a member of American Legion Morris Frock Post 42, D.A.V. Chapter 14, Exchange Club of Hagerstown, and R.S. Tagg Jr., and attended Trinity Lutheran Church. He also served as an elected judge of Orphans Court of Washington County, Md., from 2002 to 2006. Memorial donations may be made to American Lung Association of Maryland, Inc., 11 Columbia St., Room 13, Cumberland, MD 21502. Publisher’s Note: I first had the pleasure of getting to know Sam when he sold The Valley Revue about 16 years ago. He shared his years of knowledge in publishing, as well as history of the area, and made sure the production staff “dotted their i’s and crossed their t’s.” His love for the magazine was clear to all who knew him ... it was more than a business, it was a part of him. Sam’s dedication to The Valley Revue was timeless. He provided input years after he sold the magazine and would call whenever he noticed a new salesperson’s name in the magazine, offering to help and share his expertise. It is an honor to carry on his tradition of providing the area’s most comprehensive calendar of events to tourists and residents in the quad-state region. – Cecilia “Cis” Rhyne 6 JA N UA RY 2013

REFLECTING ON ONE HUNDRED
Sesquicentennial Commemoration Where are Gettysburg’s Confederate Dead Buried? Article provided by Gettysburg National Military Park “From the Fields of Gettysburg” blog written by Clyde Bell, Supervisory Park Ranger, Gettysburg National Military Park.
G
ettysburg National Military Park Rangers, interns, and volunteers are frequently asked a series of questions by visitors starting with: Where are the Confederate dead buried? Many of these visitors have walked through the Soldiers’ National Cemetery where they noticed the markers of more than 3500 Union soldiers, known and unknown, who were killed during the bloody days of early July 1863, yet they observed no burial markers for the approximately same number of Confederates who lost their lives on these identical fields. After learning from a National Park Ranger that the Confederates are not buried in the cemetery the visitors often ask a second, more concerned question: “Why aren’t the Confederates buried in the Cemetery, aren’t they Americans too?” While it is true that many of the Confederates felt they were still Americans; they were fighting against the United States after having succeeded from it three years earlier. Hence when President Lincoln arrived to dedicate this country’s first National Cemetery in November 1863 it was for the Union dead only. The Soldiers’ National Cemetery was set aside to be the final resting place for those who gave their last full measure to preserve the Union. There was to be no room for those whom many felt where trying to destroy it.
24 JANUARY 2013
Shortly after the two warring armies retired from the Gettysburg, over 7000 men remained dead on its fields or would die shortly from their wounds and their rapidly decomposing bodies were posing an imminent health hazard, if not a ghastly scene. As one Confederate soldier recalls passing over the fields northwest of Gettysburg on July 4, “The sights and smells that assailed us were simply indescribable-corpses swollen to twice their size, asunder with the pressure of gases and vapors…The odors were nauseating, and so deadly that in a short time we all sickened and were lying with our mouths close to the ground, most of us vomiting profusely.” Initially most of the Union and Confederate dead were buried in shallow graves, many of which were nameless. However in less than two months the journey to the final resting place for the Union dead would commence as they were disinterred from their temporary graves to a place more fitting. Not so for the men wearing butternut. They would remain in their scattered, poorly marked graves for nearly nine more years. In 1872 several southern Ladies Memorial Associations sought funding to have their men returned home, and they appealed to Dr. Rufus Weaver to supervise the removal of the Confederate dead. During the next three years, using records and his extensive THE VALLEY REVUE
D
n
AND FIFTY YEARS PAST
of the American Civil War
knowledge of the locations of individual and mass graves, Dr. Weaver was successful in returning the remains of 3,320 soldiers. The vast majority of which were sent to the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond. Fewer numbers of Confederate dead were delivered to cemeteries in Raleigh, Savannah and Charlestown. On a side note, research indicates that ten Confederate soldiers, through cases of mistaken identities, where actually buried in the Soldiers’ National Cemetery. Then there is a final question. “Are there still bodies in the fields that have not been found?” The answer to this is almost certainly yes. Since the 1870’s and throughout much of the 1900’s remains have been uncovered. One noted historian states that nearly 1,500 Confederate remains from the Campaign www.v alley revue.com
have been unaccounted and therefore there is a high plausibility that some are still buried in the fields of Gettysburg. The most recent discovery occurred in 1995 near the Railroad Cut, scene of bitter fighting on July 1. The identity of this soldier’s army cannot be readily identified, but it many believe it is most likely that he fought for the Confederacy, possibly from Mississippi. For further information on the Confederate dead read “Wasted Valor: The Confederate Dead at Gettysburg” by Greg Coco. Further information on the Soldiers’ National Cemetery, refer to “Lincoln and the Human Interest Stories of The Gettysburg National Cemetery” by Jim Cole and Roy Frampton.

Gettysburg’s Winter Lecture Series Begins January 5 The Civil War in 1863 Gettysburg Park Rangers will continue their popular, free winter lecture series throughout January, February and March of 2013, with a special look at the Civil War in 1863. Programs will explore topics such as the Army of the Potomac’s resiliency; the Vicksburg Campaign; the fighting at Chickamauga and at Chancellorsville. Lectures examine the command and legacies of Fighting Joe Hooker, Admiral David Dixon Porter, Robert Gould Shaw and the men of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry unit. A special lecture on January 19 will offer an opportunity to examine original artifacts from the park’s collection. The lectures are sponsored by Gettysburg National Military Park and take place on Saturdays and Sundays beginning January 5 through March 10, except January 13. They are held at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center in one of the film theaters through February 24 and in the Ford Motor Company Fund Education Center on March 2, 3, 9 and 10. Programs begin at 1:30 p.m. and last approximately one hour. For more information and a schedule of programs go to Gettysburg National Military Park’s website at www.nps.gov/gett or call 717/ 334-1124 x 8023. Week #1 – Saturday, January 5 The Vicksburg Campaign, Part 3: The Siege The Siege of Vicksburg took place for 47 days as the control of the Mississippi River hung in the balance. Come join us as we explore assaults, siege warfare, mining operations, naval actions, and yes, rats - Matt Atkinson Sunday, January 6 1863 – The Strategic Dilemma Three problems plagued the Confederacy as 1863 opened, and drove its strategic considerations. These were: the continuing limitations of terrain; the growing economic turmoil, and the completely dysfunctional command structure of the Western Department. These three aspects combined to contribute to the army options and inevitably to the downfall of the Confederacy - Bill Hewitt Week #2 – Saturday, January 12 Despair, Defeat, Redemption & Determination: The Army of the Potomac in 1863 1863 proved a stern tested of the Army of the Potomac’s resiliency. It emerged from Fredericksburg and the subsequent “mud march” disgusted, angry, and demoralized. Joe Hooker rebuilt the army and restored its pride and discipline then led it to defeat at Chancellorsville. But the army shook this disaster off, soldiered on, and recovered to find its redemption at Gettysburg, its greatest victory. Great as Gettysburg was, a hard, grim road lay ahead of the army. It spent the fall spar26 JANUARY 2013
ring with the enemy and readying itself for the death grapple that would come in the spring - D. Scott Hartwig Week #3 – Saturday, January 19 If These Things Could Talk” Original objects from the park’s museum collection are examined for the larger stories they tell about the Battle of Gettysburg - Tom Holbrook Sunday, January 20 “On Campaign with Fighting Joe” - Joseph Hooker and the Army of the Potomac in 1863. For five critical months Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker commanded the Union Army of the Potomac, taking it from the brink of collapse to the height of its power. From the crossroads of Chancellorsville to the eve of Gettysburg, follow this misunderstood and enigmatic general and explore his triumphs and disasters through the eyes of the men he commanded - Chris Gwinn Week #4 – Saturday, January 26 Gettysburg Understood Through Etymology, Metaphor and Personification Sources on the battle of Gettysburg abound, but it is the cultural meaning of words, in those sources, that add another layer of understanding. A closer analysis of the descriptive language associated with the town and battle uncovers a rich texture of cultural meaning below the surface – Troy Harman Sunday, January 27 We are having a grand time right now!" The Army of Northern Virginia in 1863 Not quite a year after its organization, the Army of Northern Virginia had emerged as the premier fighting force in the Confederate States Army. There was no other army like it; this army marched farther and faster than any army before, accomplished victories despite inadequate supplies, and managed to outwit and outmaneuver a larger and better equipped army. What was it about this one Rebel army that gave its commander and those who witnessed it such confidence as it marched into the North in the summer of 1863? - John Heiser Week #5 – Saturday, February 2 The Bloodless Campaigns in Tennessee Following the Union army's victory at the Battle of Stone's River both sides prepared to renew the struggle for control of Tennessee in the spring of 1863. What followed was a campaign of maneuver between the armies of Braxton Bragg and William Rosecrans that resulted in no major battles, yet ended with Rosecrans’ army in almost complete possession of the theater and its vital rail center of Chattanooga. Maneuver, abetted by a cohesive command structure, had carried the day, not fighting. Rosecrans’ success posed a direct threat to the heart of the Confederacy that it reacted to vigorously - Bert Barnett Sunday, February 3 Chickamauga Having been pushed out of Chattanooga, TN by the Union Army of the Cumberland in early September, Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee, reTHE VALLEY REVUE
inforced by two divisions of James Longstreet’s corps from the Army of Northern Virginia, mounted an offensive to retake the city. It resulted in a two day battle on September 19-20, 1863 along Chickamauga Creek, that was the bloodiest battle in the western theater during the war and the only victory for Bragg’s Army of Tennessee Angie Atkinson Week #6 – Saturday, February 9 “Where death for noble ends makes dying sweet” -Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts Made famous by the 1989 film Glory, the story of the all-black 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry is one of courage, determination and sacrifice. Separate history from Hollywood and discover the real story of the Robert Gould Shaw and the men of the 54th – Chris Gwinn Sunday, February 10 “We Shall be Wiped Out of Existence” - From Calamity to Crisis: Oliver O. Howard, Out of Chancellorsville and into GettysburgOne of the great debacles of the Civil War occurred at Chancellorsville, when Major General Oliver O. Howard's 11th Corps was struck with such devastation by the Rebels he felt he "wanted to die." It would not be long afterwards he would find himself on another battlefield where he said he thought he indeed would die when facing overwhelming enemy forces again. We will ponder what he expected, what he intended, and what he did, including lessons learned coming out of Chancellorsville and into Gettysburg - Chuck Teague Week #7 – Saturday, February 16 Burnside vs. Longstreet in East Tennessee: The Fall 1863 Knoxville Campaign Following his pivotal role in the Confederate victory at Chickamauga, in September 1863, General James Longstreet was sent north with 12,000 men into East Tennessee to contend with a Union force commanded by General Ambrose Burnside, with both sides vying for control of this critical region and especially the city of Knoxville. The campaign that followed, undertaken in the most wretched of conditions, witnessed Longstreet and his men utterly defeated while Burnside and his soldiers emerged triumphant, securing Knoxville and East Tennessee firmly for the Union. Learn more about this long overshadowed but critically important campaign with all its attendant battles John Hoptak Sunday, February 17 With Porter on the Mississippi – Union Naval Operations in the Vicksburg Campaign Although Ulysses S. Grant deserves high praise for the success of the Vicksburg Campaign, it is often forgotten that the U.S. Navy played a critical role in helping him capture Vicksburg, and that to be successful Grant needed to forge a relationship and work closely with Admiral David Dixon Porter, the naval commander. Porter and Grant formed a winning combination that led to one of the Union’s greatest successes of the war - Karlton Smith Week #8 – Saturday, February 23 The Chancellorsville Campaign The Chancellorsville Campaign began with

great promise on April 30, 1863 for Joe Hooker and the Army of the Potomac. Six days later, after the bloodiest fighting yet seen in the war, Hooker and his army were in retreat and Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia had achieved Lee’s most remarkable victory - Greg Mertz or Frank O’Reilly, Fredericksburg-Spotsylvania NMP Sunday, February 24 Gettysburg Redeemed: Bristoe Station, Mine Run, and the Fall Campaigns of 1863 For Robert E. Lee, Gettysburg marked the end of a string of strategic and tactical victories with a bloody and discouraging defeat. And when General George G. Meade and his Army of the Potomac failed to destroy the Rebel army during its retreat, its tactical success at Gettysburg lost much of its luster. Both commanding generals tendered their resignations. Both were rejected. Would either of these generals find redemption in the coming fall campaigning? - Dan Welch Week #9 – Saturday, March 2 Second Battle of Winchester - "The Thermopylae of my Campaign" Richard Ewell's debut as a corps commander came against General Robert Milroy's 6,900 man Union garrison at Winchester. The ensuing battle opened the door to Pennsylvania - Matt Atkinson Sunday, March 3 (Ford Education Center) If Walls Could Talk Nestled behind Cemetery Ridge in 1863 was an unassuming white farm house owned by Lydia Leister. Within this one room structure, decisions were made that determined the fates of armies and men, and information became the crux on which those decisions were made. However, controversy would soon follow and questions arose debating their soundness. What happened within those four walls, and how did it affect the men upon whose shoulders those burdens fell? –Angie Atkinson Week #10 – Saturday, March 9 (Ford Education Center) Pickett's Charge Explained Logically The story of Pickett's Charge is so steeped in mythology that a logical rendering of what happened on July 3, 1863 is difficult to comprehend. This lecture will engage in the tricky task of separating symbolic truth from real time events; of demystifying and de-fanging the allegorical otherworld of high water mark in favor of rational revelation. - Troy Harman Sunday, March 10 (Ford Education Center) The greatest amount of human suffering known to this nation since its birth: The Fields of Gettysburg Through the Eyes of Battlefield Surgeons The third and final installment of the story of the medical corps in the Civil War, this lecture will explore the improved system of transport, supply and treatment as established by the time of the Gettysburg campaign and battle, and will look at the fields on the evenings of June 30, July 1,2,3 and 4 from the perspective of a Union Army surgeon – Barbara Sanders

B
erkeley Springs, a fountainhead of warm mineral waters frequented by Native Americans long before Europeans arrived in the New World, are at the heart of a mountain spa community in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle. First noted as Medicine Springs in 1747 on a map drawn by Thomas Jefferson’s father, the waters for many centuries have drawn visitors seeking health and relief from the stress of everyday life. In 1776, George Washington’s family and friends drew up a plat of 134 lots, named the streets, and incorporated The Town of Bath, invoking the muses of the renowned English spa. Yet the magic of the springs prevailed, and the town and surrounding area are known by their name – Berkeley Springs.
The waters flow at a constant 74°F from the base of Warm Springs Ridge. You may still drink freely and fill your jugs at Lord Fairfax’s public tap, and wade in the ancient stone pools in the nation’s smallest state park. The town has endured cycles of notoriety, fashion, war and modern progress, but remains the Country’s First Spa, a quiet, friendly haven surrounded by West Virginia’s splendid outdoors. ß Exclusive Couple’s Massage Facial & Skin Care Treatments Gift Cards available ailable

Visit Historic Hedgesville
H
edgesville is located in Skinner’s Gap on North Mountain, where the original Warm Springs Road (now WV9) passed through from Alexandria, Virginia to Bath (Berkeley Springs). An abundant spring drew the first settler and today serves as Town Spring marked by a protective structure. The spring is reportedly never affected by drought and the water is a persistent 57 degrees. In 1738, the Hedges family began to acquire land just east of the gap. During the French and Indian War in the 1750s, George Washington supervised the construction of a stockade fort in the gap called Fort Hedges. It was one of a string of forts constructed for protection against the French and their Indian allies. The town was laid out in 1832 and established as Hedgesville by the Virginia General Assembly in 1836. At that time, a law was passed making it unlawful to “sit or loiter about Town Spring drinking spirits.” The town was finally incorporated in 1854 and in 1870 the Town Council was given control of the springs. A number of antebellum historic structures still line the village streets, including many original log homes. The village is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
