Joseph K. F. Mansfield USMA 1822 |
West Pointers in the Maryland Campaign
|
Charles Warner USMA 1862 |
As
the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day
in American history approaches, I have turned my attention to a small group of
men who fought there. These are
the graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point. From Joseph K.F. Mansfield in the Class
of 1822 to Charles Warner, the “Goat” of the Class of 1862, all told 197
graduates served in some capacity in the Maryland Campaign and most fought at
Antietam. In assembling this list,
I extensively used George W. Cullum's Biographical Register of the
Officers and Graduates of the United States Military Academy at West
Point, New York. Cullem assigned a number to each
graduate. The register contains a
short biographical summary of each officer’s service in the United States
Army. Cullem provides no
information on Confederate service merely stating that individual “Joined in the Rebellion of 1861‑66 against the
United States.”
While some officers connection may be
tenuous at best, if Cullem stated that a man participated in the Maryland
Campaign, or fought at Antietam, he made my list. I decided to also include John Reynolds though he was
detached from the Army of the Potomac to command the Pennsylvania Emergency
Militia. Also listed are John
Pelham and Thomas Rosser. These southern cadets left the academy immediately
after Fort Sumter, just shy of their formal graduation date. Mere attendance for some period of time
does not qualify an individual for this list. Examples in this category are Lowell Armistead, kicked out
of the Academy for breaking a plate over the head of fellow cadet Jubal Early
and Dunbar Ransom who left West Point to attend Norwich when his father assumed
the position of superintendant there.
There were 199 men (including
Pelham and Rosser) who wore the cadet gray that now fought, and in some
cases, died in this most decisive of battles.
Just thirty-three
(counting Pelham and Rosser) would serve with the Confederate Army. The vast majority, 166, remained loyal
to the nation that trained them and turned them into soldiers.
Most of the generals
are well known. From Joseph
Mansfield of the Class of 1862 to Fitzhugh Lee of the Class of 1856, sixty-four
men wore a general’s star. Fifty-six
were field grade officers (colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors) commanding
brigades, regiments or senior staff positions. The rest, 77 in all, were company-grade officers (captains
or lieutenants.) In that group are fifteen graduates of the West Point Class of
1862. These men graduated on June
17, 1862 and most were immediately sent to join McClellan’s Army on the
Peninsula. Mere boys in many
cases, by the Maryland Campaign they were already hardened veterans having
fought in some cases both on the Peninsula and at Second Bull Run prior to the
Maryland Campaign. Amazingly, of
the graduates of that last class, a number of these men would still be on duty
leading brigades and divisions in the Spanish American War.
Seven would give
their life during the Maryland Campaign.
They include Jesse Reno and Owen K. McLemore at South Mountain; Dixon
Miles at Harpers Ferry; and Joseph Mansfield, Israel B. Richardson, George B.
Anderson, and Henry Kingsbury on the bloody field of Sharpsburg. Many others would not live to see the
dawn of peace. Nine months later
Gettysburg claimed seven more. John
Reynolds (1841) Gettysburg Jul 1 1863, Richard Garnett (1841) Gettysburg Jul 3
1863, William D. Pender (1854)
Gettysburg Jul 3 1863, Stephen H. Weed (1854) Gettysburg Jul 2 1863, Charles
E. Hazlett (M-1861) Gettysburg Jul 2 1863, Alonzo Cushing (J-1861) Gettysburg
Jul 3 1863, George A. Woodruff (J-1861) Gettysburg Jul 4 1863,
Eighteen others were
killed on other battlefields or from the ravages of the war. They range from the might Stonewall who
fell at Chancellorsville to young Albert Murray, Class of 1862, who died a
prisoner of war in Macon Georgia.
The casual reader
will likely not recognize many of these men. Names like Francis N. Clarke, Frederic Myers, Charles
Sawtelle, and Charles N. Warner don’t immediately come to mind. But whether leading an army, or an
ordnance train, each and every one contributed to the success of his army on
that bloody day. And as the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of that bloody
day is about to begin, look at the names, contemplate the service, and mourn
the lives lost.

Jim,
ReplyDeleteAugustus Coleman, Lt. Colonel of the 11th OVI attended West Point but did not graduate. I think he was in the class of 1854. He was killed in the attack on Burnsides Bridge.
Thanks Phil,
ReplyDeleteI will look him up and add him to my list of West Point cadets who did not graduate but who fought here. My thanks for sending me this information.
Jim
In your class of 1846, you have Jesse Reno. If I recall correctly, he was killed at South Mountain. Great blog, I always enjoy each of my visits! Cheers! Chris
ReplyDeleteChristopher, Absolutely right. Thanks for catching that. I have made the correction. Jim
