Confederate Order Book 1st Virginia
Confederate Order Book 1st Virginia Regiment Pre-First Bull Run 8 x 10 in. hardbound order copy book with gilt title ADJUTANTS REPORTS. /1ST. REGIMENT. This book is a record of the orders received by the 1st Virginia Volunteer Infantry beginning April 29 1861 through the Battle of First Bull Run and ending August 1 1861.The 1st (Richmond) Regiment a pre-war militia regiment was one of the first groups of infantry to arrive for training at the Hermitage Fairgrounds in Richmond (later Camp Lee) in April 1861. The early orders in this book chronicle the day to day problems of forging various mobs of spirited civilians into an army for the newborn nation. The entire army structure above the regimental level had to be made from scratch and these pages of recorded orders give an unparalleled insight into that evolving process.The first combat orders for the 1st Virginia dated May 29 1861 sent them to Manassas Junction to join Bonham's Brigade Department of Alexandria. June 1 finds the regiment at Camp Pickens Virginia where all forces are ordered to cheerfully join in the necessary labors however hard and unusual for them and immediately begin entrenching fortifications at Manassas Junction. The next day Beauregard is announced as the new commander of the Department of Alexandria.On June 16 Beauregard orders troops be supplied with 40 rounds ammo and held constantly in light marching order ready to advance on short notice with 10 days' rations (3-5 in haversacks the rest in wagons.)June 20 orders are issued forming the Army of the Potomac arranging the various regiments into six brigades and assigning brigade commanders. The 1st Virginia is assigned to the 4th Brigade Colonel G.H. Terret Provisional Army of Virginia commanding.Beauregard's HQ June 23rd: So great is the obstruction of the most important public business by the personal presentations at these HdQrs of applications for leaves of absence (generally on the certificate of a medical officer for the benefit of the applicant's health ) that it is ordered that all applications for leaves of absence hereafter shall be made through the commanding officer of the Regiment Corps or unattached company to which such applicant may belong.4th Brigade HQ Camp Pickens June 27 ...The Colonel also directs that the whooping and yelling in camp be stopped and that the men who insist on continuing this unmilitary habit be punished...July 4 1861: Camp PickensThe colonels of the Regiments comprising the 4th Brigade will at once see that their Regiments are provided with three days provisions in their haversacks and forty rounds of ammunition in their cartridge boxes and be held in readiness ?to march forthwith to the front. The alert was canceled July 5th.On July 7 Longstreet assumes command of the 4th Brigade. The next day orders are issued designating a winged badge for the brigade to be worn yellow side out on the left shoulder". Pickets are told to learn the insignia of surrounding brigades and small parties are not to be fired upon unless it is well ascertained that they are of the enemy and there is no probability of capturing them.Beauregard issues a long order on July 11 haranguing the army for grievous breaches in security. Newspapers as far away as South Carolina have published detailed dispositions of Confederate troops along the Potomac with troop strengths and regiment names and examples are provided in these orders.JULY 16 CONFEDERATE BATTLE PLANS FOR MANASSAS: Beauregard issues detailed seven-part battle plans to his command for the attack on the Federal army which that day has begun its march from Washington DC towards Manassas. In part:Head Quarters Army of the PotomacManassas Junction ?July 16th 1861Special Orders}No. 120 ???????????}The following will be observed and executed by all concerned in the special exigencies indicatedI??? Brig Genl Longstreet will hold his Brigade in readiness to march at a moment's notice and take position at Blackburn's ford one regiment to be placed with two pieces of Walton's battery in position in advance of that ford carefully concealed from the view of the enemy the other two regiments remaining on this side of the ford concealed from sight as far as practicable but ready to be thrown across at any moment and when Genl Longstreet shall hear the enemy engaged on his left at Mitchell's ford he will move and attack him in the flank and rear as already instructed keeping communications open with Bonham's brigade on the left and Jones' brigade on the right.II??? Brig Genl Jones will be prepared to move his Brigade from Camp Walker simultaneously with the 4th Brigade to positions at McLean's ford corresponding to those to be occupied by Longstreet at Blackburn's ford; as already instructed he will advance thence to the attack of the enemy's flank on the Centerville Road about halfway between Centerville and Mitchell's ford maintaining communication with Genl Longstreet on his left and Genl Ewell on his right...??? ???The next day Beauregard announced to his army that the Federal invasion of Virginia had begun:General OrdersNo. 41 ?I.??? The General Commanding the army of the Potomac announces to his command that at length the enemy have advanced to subjugate a sovereign state and impose upon a free people an odious government; notwithstanding their numerical superiority they can be repelled and the general commanding relies confidently on his command to do it...By the 18th Union General Tyler's advance division had reached Centerville. As the enemy approaches General Longstreet addresses his men:Head Quarters 4th BrigadeBull Run July 18th 1861General Orders No. 1Virginians you are now fighting for your own soil your homes and your liberties! Let it not be said that any Virginia Brigade gave way one foot before the vile invaders! We have taken our stand; let us show the enemy that we can and will repel them hence.Beauregard correctly expects McDowell's main attack to be from Centerville towards his right flank. Tyler spoils the Union plans by advancing early on Blackburns Ford and escalating his scouting mission into a battle with Longstreet's brigade. The Confederates repulse his attack prompting McDowell to change his plans and attack the alerted Confederates on the opposite flank once the main body of the Union army arrives. Colonel Patrick T. Moore of the 1st Virginia was severely wounded in the head during this battle an injury that would remove him from field service for most of the war.July 21 1861: BATTLE OF FIRST MANASSASSpecial Order No. 136 the morning of the battle informs the brigade commanders that:Lt Col Richard Snowdon is placed on duty with this army and is authorized to join any brigade engaged and opposed to artillery in which event he will be furnished with a detachment of picked riflemen to shoot fused balls into caissons and ammunition wagons.The next order entered into the book is dated June 22 1861 the day after the battle: Beauregard orders Longstreet to detail Lieut John G Meem 17th Regt Va Volunteers to proceed to the front with a strong escort and abundant means of transportation for the purpose of collecting arms munitions subsistance etc abandoned by the enemy...Also on this day Beauregard's Special Orders No. 146 advances his army into the Centerville area:1st Brigade Brig Genl M.L. Bonham at Centerville. 2nd Brigade Brig Genl Ewell at or about Union Mills in advance. 3rd Brigade Genl D.R. Jones at a position on Union and Centerville Road about half way between Braddock's Road and Union Mills ford. 4th Brigade Brig Genl Longstreet at or about the crossing of the Centerville and Union Mill road and the Braddock road. 5th Brigade Genl Cocke at or about suspension bridge over Cub Run. 6th Brigade Col Early in a position on Bull Run one mile above Stone Bridge. Evans command at or about Stone Bridge except Hunter's Regt Va Vols which will remain at these Hd Qrs for present...On July 24 1861 Beauregard orders Captain E.P. Alexander to choose from the captured Union artillery 1 large rifled gun two 6 pounder rifled guns and two 12 pounder rifled guns with proper caissons mobile forge and battery wagon and send them to Brigadier General T. H. Holmes.On July 29 in order to absorb the huge numbers of new soldiers Beauregard reorganizes the Army of the Potomac into 8 brigades of 4 regiments each plus artillery and cavalry.The last entry is a request for a Court of Inquiry by Captain F.B. Schaeffer Virginia Volunteers to examine into certain imputations and allegations made against his conduct as a soldier on the 21st July 1861..." ?Schaeffer was rumored to have in a panic ordered his men three times to retreat during the battle.1st Regiment Virginia Infantry (Williams Rifles) ??? ????1st Infantry Regiment completed its organization at Richmond Virginia in May 1861. At the outbreak of the war it had ten companies but in April three were detached. Thus the unit contained seven companies from Richmond and in mid-July a company from Washington D.C. was added. It fought at First Manassas under General Longstreet and in August totaled 570 men. During April 1862 when the regiment was reorganized it contained only six companies. The 1st was assigned to A.P. Hill's Kemper's and W.R. Terry's Brigade Army of Northern Virginia. It was active from Williamsburg to Gettysburg except when it was with Longstreet at Suffolk. Later the unit was involved in the capture of Plymouth the conflicts at Drewry's Bluff and Cold Harbor the Petersburg siege south and north of the James River and the Appomattox Campaign. This regiment lost twenty-two percent of the 140 engaged at Second Manassas had 9 wounded at Fredericksburg and had more than half of the 209 at Gettysburg disabled. Its casualties were 12 killed and 25 wounded at Drewry's Bluff 1 killed and 77 wounded at Five Forks and 40 captured at Sayler's Creek. Only 17 surrendered on April 9 1865. The field officers were Colonels Patrick T. Moore F.G. Skinner and Lewis B. Williams; Lieutenant Colonels William H. Fry and Frank H. Langley; and Majors John Dooley William P. Mumford George F. Norton and William H. Palmer.?(National Park Service Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System) Condition: Front cover detached some leaves clipped or loose.

BATTLE OF GAINES MILL, SOLDIER'S
BATTLE OF GAINES MILL, SOLDIER'S LETTEROptimistic six-page letter written by a Union soldier and dated June 22, 1862, five days before the Battle of Gaines Mill, aka the Battle of Chickahominy River. Evidently it was intended for publication, as it was addressed to "Mssrs Editors" and titled "Banks of the Chickahominy." Signed "Rambler" at the end. Very interesting content, including accounts of alleged Confederate atrocities, such as the killing of a prisoner -- "[he] refused to mount his horse and was shot and left dead on troadside." It ends, "When the great battle will come off, it is hard to say ... it is not too distant however, and when it does come off, it will be one of the most fearful contests the world ever witnessed, and although the enemy have every advantage in knowledge of the country, position and numbers, they will be awfully thrashed by our brave boys and driven howling through Richmond like beaten spaniels." The writer's prediction was off, as the Confederates won the battle decisively. Pagesmeasure 12-3/8" x 7-7/8". Letter came out of estate with the included CDV photo of a soldier whose identity is unknown, though it is presumed that he is the writer. See images. This item can be shipped in-house.
