Day Spa
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 T h E VA L L EY r E v UE

REFLECTING ON ONE HUNDRED
Sesquicentennial Commemoration
From the Fields of Gettysburg Reproduced from the blog of Scott Hartwig, Supervisory Historian at Gettysburg National Military Park
Gettysburg 150th – July 1, 2013 Battlefield Experience Programs As the soldiers of Brigadier General Solomon Meredith’s 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 1st Corps, marched up the Emmitsburg Road on the morning of July 1, 1863, Sergeant Major George Legate, of the 2nd Wisconsin, made his way up from the rear of the regiment to walk beside his friend, Corporal Cornelius Wheeler, who was in Company I, Legate’s old company. “Corny, we are going to have a fight today, and I will not come out alive,” said Legate. Wheeler, who only moments before had had a similar conversation with Sergeant Joseph Williams, who also had a presentiment that he would be killed that day, laughed at Legate “and told him he was the second man who had been to me, and that it was all nonsense, that there was no prospect of a fight and that if he really felt that way, he had better not go in if there should be one, as he could easily avoid it – that a Sergeant Major was not of much account in a fight, anyway.” Legate replied, “No, I will stay with the regiment whatever happens.” It was not too much longer before the sounds of fighting could be heard in the direction of Gettysburg. The pace of the march quickened and when the brigade reached the farm of Nicholas Codori, just south of town, they were turned off into the farm fields and ordered toward the sound of firing. There were 1,829 officers and men in the five regiments of Meredith’s brigade. They bore the proud nickname “The Iron Brigade,” which they had earned for their performance in combat at 2nd Manassas, South Mountain, 30 JUNE 2013
Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. Their other distinctive feature was that every enlisted man in the brigade wore the black felt Hardee hat, the regulation army headgear. They were tough and confident, among the best fighting men in the entire Army of the Potomac. In some ways this would the brigade’s last march because they would never be the same again after July 1. Corny Wheeler was wrong. There would be a fight that day and it would cost the brigade 1,153 casualties. Of this figure, 171 were killed, numbered among them Sergeant Major Legate and Sergeant Williams. Corny Wheeler survived to tell of his friends premonitions. To put this casualty figure in perspective, it was the highest loss sustained by any brigade in the Army of the Potomac in the Battle of Gettysburg. On July 1, 2013 at 9:30 a.m., Dan Welch, a veteran seasonal ranger on our staff, and myself, will retrace The Last March of the Iron Brigade from the Codori farm to where they went into action on McPherson’s Ridge in one of our special Battlefield Experience programs during the Gettysburg 150th commemoration. Along the way we will meet some of the men like Legate, Williams and Wheeler who made history that day. Joining us will be the living history unit The Liberty Rifles, who will be in the uniform of the Iron Brigade, along with a color guard, and hopefully, a fife and drum unit. When the brigade marched up the Emmitsburg Road that morning their fifes and drums were playing the Scottish tune “The Campbells THE VALLEY REVUE

From Musselman’s you would need to walk several blocks to the Transit Station on Carlisle Street where you can take one of the free Lincoln Line shuttles back to the Visitor Center area. Maps with further details about shuttles and parking are available in our Commemorative Events Guide, which can be downloaded from the park web site at www.nps.gov/ gett/planyourvisit/150th-anniversaryevents-2013.htm

We would like to recreate that moment and the march of this brigade to its rendezvous with destiny on McPherson’s Ridge. To participate in this program park at the National Cemetery North or South Lot (the old Visitor Center and Cyclorama Center parking lots), at the Museum and Visitor Center Lots, or on Hancock Avenue and walk to the Codori Farm, which is on the Emmitsburg Road a quarter mile south of Gettysburg. Do not park on the Emmitsburg Road. We will gather near Codori’s on the east side of the Emmitsburg Road. The march from Codori’s to McPherson’s Ridge is just under 2 miles, so bring something to drink, a hat and sunscreen to protect you from the sun, and clothes and footwear suitable for walking cross-country. You will need to make arrangements to get picked up at the end of the march near Stop 1 on the Battlefield Auto Tour. The park will be running a free shuttle service that day which you can pick up at the

When the Confederates finally overwhelmed the Union lines on July 1 and drove the 1st and 11th Corps back through the streets of Gettysburg, Yankees, Rebels and civilians were all thrown together, as wounded and exhausted Union soldiers sought shelter in people’s homes and public buildings. Confederate soldiers pursued them taking hundreds of prisoners. For the citizens, it was a shocking ordeal, with combat in their streets, but with hundreds of wounded men needing shelter and help, they were forced to pitch in and help where they could. One of them was Mary McAllister, who lived on Chambersburg Street. She made her way over to nearby Chris Evangelical Lutheran Church, and found that “every pew was full [of wounded]; some sitting, some lying, some leaning on others. They cut off arms and legs and threw them out of the windows.” At the “College Edifice” at Pennsylvania College, now Pennsylvania Hall at Gettysburg College, nearly 900 Confederate wounded arrived from the day’s fighting for shelter and to receive medical attention. “The rooms and passages were densely crowded,” with the wounded wrote one Confederate. Several blocks away, four surgeons from the Iron Brigade had established a hospital at the Gettysburg Railroad Depot and Adams Express Office on Carlisle Street. After Confederate troops JUNE 2013
31
overran the town, General Jubal Early sent a message to Surgeon D. Cooper Ayres, of the 7th Wisconsin asking if he might want some whiskey for his patients. “Does a duck like to swim,” Ayres responded. The patients got their whiskey. Sergeant Austin Stearns, of the 13th Massachusetts, was among the wounded in Christ’s Church, sitting in a pew waiting his turn for medical attention, when he was touched on the shoulder by someone behind him. He turned and “saw a reb who was wounded in the arm.” The man was from a North Carolina regiment, probably the 55th North Carolina, and Stearns found him “a very intelligent man and we entered into conversation immediately, he doing most of the talking.”
At 4 p.m. on July 1, Rangers Chris Gwinn, John Hoptak and Caitlin Kostic, will present Yankees, Rebels and Civilians – The First Day of Battle Ends. This unique program will explore the stories of McCallister, Stearns, Ayres, and many others at three iconic sites within Gettysburg; Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, Pennsylvania Hall at Gettysburg College, and the Gettysburg Train Station. All of these sites have graciously allowed access for this special event. The program will run from 4-6:30 p.m. At each location on the hour (4, 5 and 6 p.m.), Chris, John and Caitlin will offer a 30-minute program bringing to life the dramatic stories that happened there on July 1 and the days that followed. The sites are all within walking distance of each other. Parking is available at Musselman Stadium at Gettysburg College. You may start at any station and rotate through the others in whatever order you wish.
Gettysburg 150th – July 2 Battlefield Experience Programs Captain Samuel R. Johnston was an imposing man in his time. He stood 6 feet 2-1/2 inches in height with a dark complexion, hazel eyes and dark hair. Before the war he worked as a civil engineer in Virginia. When the war came he entered the Confederate service on February 10, 1862 as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 6th Virginia Cavalry, but it was his background in engineering that soon made him indispensable. In only two months “Jeb” Stuart was writing that Johnston “possesses remarkable qualifications for the post of military engineer . . . He is sober, indefatigable, and capable.” By June of that year Johnston was on the staff of General James Longstreet as an engineer officer. In August, now promoted to captain, he joined the staff of army commander Robert E. Lee as an engineer. By the time of Gettysburg, Johnston had served with Lee for nearly a year and had his complete confidence as an engineer and a reconnoitering officer. On the morning of July 2, when General Lee sought to locate the left end of the Union army’s lines for an offensive he was contemplating, it was Captain Johnston he selected to conduct the vital reconnaissance that would establish the enemy position. Johnston recalled, “About daybreak on the 32 JUNE 2013
Little Round Top in July 1863. Did Captain Johnston reach its summit?
morning of the 2nd, General Lee called me and said he wanted me to reconnoiter along the enemy’s left and return as soon as possible.” With only three or four men, one of whom was Major J. C. Clark, an engineer on General Longstreet’s staff, Johnston set out around 4 a.m. He recalled later that the reconnaissance was “very successful.” When he returned around 7 a.m. he found Generals Lee, Longstreet and A. P. Hill sitting on a log near the Lutheran Seminary holding a map. When Lee saw Johnston he called him over and the captain traced his route on the map where he had made his reconnaissance. “When I got to the THE VALLEY REVUE
extreme right of our reconnaissance on the Little Round Top, General Lee turned and looking at me, said, ‘Did you get there?’ I assured him that I did.” But did he? Historians today generally agree that Captain Johnston’s reconnaissance was flawed. If he made it to Little Round Top how did he completely miss some 8,000 men of the Union 3rd Corps who were bivouacked just north of that hill? Questions remain about just where Captain Johnston went on that fateful early morning reconnaissance on July 2. [S. R. Johnson to Lafayette McLaws, June 27, 1892; S. R. Johnston to Rev. George Petterkin, Dec. ?, 18??, Virginia Historical Society] This July 2, 150 years later, you can join with Ranger Troy Harman on In The Footsteps of Captain Johnston. Troy will explore the story of Johnston, where he might have gone, and what his reconnaissance meant for General Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia. You will need to rise early if you want to join Troy – although not quite as early as Captain Johnston. The program meets at 6:30 a.m. on July 2 at the Longstreet Tower on West Confederate Avenue. It will end at 8:30 a.m. at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument on South Confederate Avenue, about one mile away. Park along West or South Confederate Avenue on the right hand side of the road but with all four wheels on the road.
In the hours after Captain Johnston’s reconnaissance one of the most furious battles ever fought in North America ensued. When it finally subsided, between 9 and 10 p.m., thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers lay dead, were wounded or prisoners of war. Yet, the battle remained undecided. Despite a severe battering the Army of the Potomac still held all the key terrain on the battlefield. The question at hand was could they stand another day, and was Gettysburg the place to continue the battle? General George G. Meade, who had only been in command of the army for five days, wanted to sound out his corps commanders on both the army’s condition and their thoughts about its position. All were summoned to the tiny farmhouse of the widow Lydia Leister, which served as army headquarters. “That poor little farm www.v alley revue.com
Meade’s headquarters – the Leister Farm – on July 5, 1863.
house is honored with more distinguished guests than it ever had before, or than it will ever have again, probably,” wrote Lieutenant Frank Haskell, aide to Brigadier General John Gibbon, who attended the council as the acting corps commander of the 2nd Corps. The decision before the assembled generals was momentous. Not only the outcome of the battle, but possibly the future of their nation rested upon it. Haskell, who was an eyewitness from outside the Leister farm, wrote how “The Generals came in, – some sat, some kept walking or standing, two lounged upon the bed, – some were constantly smoking cigars. And thus disposed, they deliberated . . .” [Frank L. Byrne & Andrew T. Weaver, Haskell of Gettysburg (Madison: State Historical Society of Wisconsin, 1970, 134-135] We will return to this dramatic moment 150 years later at 9:30 p.m. for the second of our special July 2 Battlefield Experience programs. Rangers Angie Atkinson and John Nicholas will present Stay and Fight: General Meade’s Council of War. Meet at the General Meade equestrian monument on Cemetery Ridge. From there the program will make its way down to the Leister farm, which will be open to the public for the first time in many years. The program ends at 11 p.m. so bring a flashlight. You may park along Hancock Avenue (on the right hand side of the road with all four wheels on the road), at the north or south National Cemetery lots, or at Lot #3 at the Visitor Center (the closest to the Taneytown Road) and walk to the Meade equestrian.
