IN REGARD TO FAILURE OF HOWARD TO RECOGNIZE OUR PART AT GETTYSBURG-TABULAR VIEW OF CASUAL- TIES IN BRIGADE AT FREDERICKSBURG, CHANCEL- LORSVILLE AND GETTYSBURG -TABULAR VIEW OF ORGANIZATIONS IN U. S. ARMY-NUMBER OF MEN IN THE UNION SERVICE, KILLED, ETC .- NATIONAL CEMETERIES, ETC .- GREATEST LOSSES, ETC.
The following, from Captain John C. Reid of the Eighth Ohio, and Acting Assistant Adjutant General upon the Staff of Gen- erals Carroll and Smythe, in regard to the part taken by the Fourth and other regiments in the battle of Gettysburg, is cer- tainly worthy a place in this record. It was written for and printed in the National Tribune, a soldier's paper published at Washington City:
To the Editor :
From reading the so-called " Personal Reminiscences" of General Howard concerning the attack on the evening of July 2d, on that portion of his corps stationed on Cemetery Hill, and the repulse of the same, as published in your issue of the Ist instant, it is apparent he still, as in his essay or article published in The Atlantic of July, 1876, tries to convey the false impression that he did not call for any aid, and that Carroll's Brigade was sent to him without solicit- ation, and then only assisted in restoring his line, etc. As stated by James Beale, in his article appearing in the same issue of your paper : "After the many times that General Howard's fictions have been upset by appeal to historic facts, one views with amazement his continuance in the errors so often demolished."
It is charitable to call his omissions, misstatements, etc., "errors," but they are so numerous, and his persistency in them is such, that one is forced to be- lieve they were purposely made. General Howard has from the first been un- willing to admit that there was any actual break in his line on the evening of July 2d, or that his infantry failed properly to support his batteries, and hence he failed in his report, made within the next few days, to give General Carroll

(then Colonel commanding) and his Brigade the credit of saving same. The fact is, three regiments of Carroll's Brigade, (Fourth Ohio, Fourteenth Indi- ana and Seventh West Virginia) recaptured two of his batteries, re-established his line, and had to hold same that night and all of the following day, because [some of ] bis infantry had "fallen back " to find a better position, and he was unable to bring them to the front until the evening of July 3d, when the battle was over.
The following letter from General Gibbon and Captain Huntington, as well as the letter of General Howard, are interesting at the present time, whilst the latter is narrating his " Personal Reminiscences"-his revised edition of same: and, lest I may be accused of making garbled extracts, I give them in full, promising, however that General Carroll has no knowledge of my intention so to do.
In the Army and Navy Journal of March 12th, 1864, there appeared the following communications from "Adjutant" and General Gibbon:
COLONEL CARROLL'S BRIGADE AT GETTYSBURG. To the Editor.
)
SIR -- In your issue of February 20th, "Truth," in a letter on Congress and General Howard, says that "General Hancock sent seven regiments * * * to report to General Howard." In this respect he is mistaken. Three regi- ments of this brigade, under Colonel Carroll's command, were first sent, and sometime afterwards two more from the Second Division. The two latter did not come to the same part of the field as our brigade, which alone drove the enemy from Cemetery Hill, out of our batteries, and held that portion of the line from which part of the Eleventh Corps had been driven. As a corrobora- tion, I inclose a letter from General Gibbon, who commanded the Corps at that time.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
"ADJUTANT."

GENERAL GIBBON'S LETTER TO COLONEL CARROLL. [Official Business. ] HEADQUARTERS, RENDEZVOUS FOR DRAFTED MEN, L PHILADELPHIA, PA., Feb. 23, 1864. } Colonel :
It has recently come to my notice that you have failed to receive from Major-General Howard the official acknowledgement to which you and your brigade are entitled by your services with his corps at Gettysburg on the night of the 2d and day of the 3d of July. I am very sorry to learn this, more especially at so late a day, as, had I been present with my command, I should probably have been able to do you and your gallant brigade an act of justice, which would have atoned in some measure for your misfortune in being sent away from your own corps, where your services would have been fully ac-
218

.
knowledged, to the relief of another, where, although I am told they were appreciated and acknowledged at the time, you failed to obtain that public and official acknowledginent which every soldier has a right to expect to receive as freely and frankly as it should be his duty to give it. As I happened to be in command of the Second Corps when your brigade was, at the suggestion of Major-General Hancock, detached to the assistance of the Eleventh, I am, of course, cognizant of the circumstances attending the transaction, and I feel it incumlent npon me, as your then commanding officer, to do what I can to repair what I am led to believe is an act of injustice to a portion of my com- mand. I know nothing, of course, officially of your services whilst detached from the Second Corps, but I am not presuming too much when, considering your reputation as a soldier, the character of your command, and the reports which reached me at the time and afterwards of your timely arrival at and prompt recovery of a critical point, I suppose them to have been of the utmost importance in preventing the enemy from obtaining a foothold on the key to our position-Cemetery Hill. You are at liberty to make what use you deem proper of this communication, and I shall be much gratified if it aids you in any way in obtaining a just acknowledgment of the services of yourself and your command at the battle of Gettysburg.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN GIBBON, Brigadier General Volunteers.
The following letter was also published, but I have forgotten the date:
ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO CARROLL.
MARIETTA, O., March 25, 1864.
Brigadier General John Gibbon:
GENERAL-Though I have not the honor of your personal acquaintance, I cannot refrain from expressing the gratification afforded me by your letter to Colonel S. S. Carroll in regard to his services at the battle of Gettysburg, which has just fallen under my observation. I commanded a brigade of artil- lery reserve, posted on Cemetery Hill, and have a personal knowledge of what was done by Colonel Carroll and his brigade. The Colonel called to me as soon as he arrived on the hill, having, as he said, no precise orders, and asked me where the enemy were ; and that point ascertained, he needed no further information. I say, and I believe it can be proved, that the prompt and gal- lant action of Colonel Carroll saved the hill that Thursday evening. The value of that service it is hard to overestimate. The enemy were actually in one of the batteries of my command (Rickett's, F and G, Pennsylvania Artil- lery), and that portion of the Eleventh Corps who should have supported it were too busy "redeeming" themselves to attend to that duty. I had the honor of serving under Colonel Carroll in the Shenandoah campaign, and only echo the opinion of all who knew him there, in saying that a braver or more thorough soldier never wore the uniform. In the matter of promotion, I con- sider him the worst used man in the United States Army. As I have been
219
CORRESPONDENCE.
compelled to leave the service from injuries sustained in it, I trust there is no impropriety in thus addressing you, the first general officer who, as far as I am aware, has done public justice to Colonel Carroll.
I am, General, most respectfully, your obedient servant,
I. F. HUNTINGTON, Late Captain First Ohio Light Artillery.
These publications brought forth the following from General Howard, which appeared in the Washington Daily Chronicle of April 5th, 1864:
HE DID NOT INTEND TO SLIGHT CARROLL.
HEADQUARTERS ELEVENTH CORPS, LOOKOUT VALLEY, TENN., March 27, 1864.
To the Editor of the Chronicle.
SIR-In the Army and Navy Journal of March 12th, 1864, also in the Cin- cinnati Commercial March 24th, 1864, letters appear from Brigadier General John Gibbon, commanding Second Corps, complaining that the services of Colonel S. S. Carroll at the battle of Gettysburg have not been acknowledged in the proper official manner. It is with painful regret that I find it appearing that I have not complimented the gallantry and efficiency of Colonel Carroll in such manner as was my purpose. The letter I wrote Colonel Carroll was in no sense intended as a private letter. I have a copy in my official record, which I most gladly have now transmitted to Major-General Meade, and will be pleased if you will publish the same. I would also furnish you an extract from my official report relative to Colonel Carroll's Brigade, had I permission to publish it. I wish to say, in excuse for apparent negligence, that I supposed his own corps commanders completely cognizant of the doings of this brigade at Gettysburg. I warmly subscribe to the sentiment of General Gibbon's letter so'far as it concerns Colonel Carroll, and publicly disclaim any intention to do an injustice to him or any other gallant soldier. I will add that I have omitted to commend several worthy officers who were connected with me and rendered the most honorable and timely service. I acknowledge this with sorrow, but am determined to make all possible amends for such omissions.
On the second day of the battle, towards evening, my line being pressed, I sent an Aid-de-Camp to General Meade requesting re-enforcements. The same Aid was intrusted with an order, or request, from General Meade to Gen- eral Gibbon, commanding Second Corps, to the same effect. I believe, also, that I sent Lieutenant-Colonel Meysenberg directly to General Hancock, com- manding a wing, with a similar request; this being done to save time. At any rate, with generous promptitude, a brigade under Colonel Carroll was dis- patched to the point most endangered, moving up in the manner described in my letter. Colonel Carroll not only repulsed the enemy at that point, but remained that night and the next day, holding an important position of the line between Generals Ames and Wadsworth (First Corps). Colonel Carroll was
220
FOURTH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.
.
exceedingly disappointed at being retained after the position became one of inaction. He was eager to participate in the glorious operations where the Second Corps had so prominent a part on the third and last day of the battle. For fearlessness and energetic action, Colonel Carroll has not a superior.
Respectfully,
O. O. HOWARD, Major-General.
A LETTER OF THANKS TO CARROLL.
HEADQUARTERS ELEVENTH CORPS, 1 WARRENTON JUNCTION, VA., July 29, 1863. 9
Colonel S. S. Carroll, Commanding Brigade, Second Corps.
COLONEL-I wish to thank you for the prompt support you gave me on the evening of the 2d of July at Gettysburg, on the extreme right of General Ames' Division. I was particularly weak at that point, having only a single thin line, through which the enemy were just breaking. You came up quickly, deployed and moved into position after your old style. For this and your subsequent patience in strengthening that position until the close of the attack on the 3d of July, I tender you my hearty thanks.
Respectfully,
O. O. HOWARD, Major-General.
The repeated calls for help appearing in General Howard's letter of March 27th, 1864, are hardly reconcilable with the statement, in substance, that Car- roll's Brigade was sent to him without solicitation, and the fact that Carroll was compelled to remain on the line of the Eleventh Corps until the 3d, when in fact the battle was over, shows how he "was enabled to shorten my front." Further comment is unnecessary; suffice it to say that General Howard does not, and perhaps cannot, write "history."
