Bloodied But Unbeaten (The Battle for the Dunkard Church During the Battle of Sharpsburg, September by Chris Collingwood.

Described as the Deathknell of the Confederacy - Sharpsburg (Antietam to the North) was a savage bloodletting for both sides. It was said to be the bloodiest day of the American Civil War. In the painting, below the Dunkard church confederate General John Bell Hoods Texas Division - or what was left of it- stand in line of battle. In the distance Union Major General John Sedgwicks division can be seen advancing on the rebel lines. During the ghastly four hour struggle the Confederates managed to hold and then repel the bloodied remnants of Sedgwicks division back to the east woods and at about 10.30am, the carnage around the Dunkard church had ended. Eventually though, the Confederate forces were in retreat, loosing Sharpsburg to the Union but prepared to fight on for two and a half more years, bloodied but unbeaten.

The Iron Brigade, 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Brawner's Farm, August 1862 by Chris Collingwood.

The Iron Brigade initially consisted of the 2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiments, the 19th Indiana, Battery B of the 4th U.S. Light Artillery, and was later joined by the 24th Michigan. This particular composition of men, from the three Western states, led it to be sometimes referred to as the 'Iron Brigade of the West'. They were known, throughout the war, as the 'Black Hats', because of the black, 1858 model Hardee hats issued to Army regulars, rather than the blue kepis worn by most other Union Army units. Battle of Second Manassas, Brawner's Farm, August 28, 1862. In order to draw Pope's army into battle, Jackson ordered an attack on a Federal column that was passing across his front on the Warrenton Turnpike on August 28. In a fierce firefight in which the opposing lines were scarcely 100 yards apart, Jackson's men locked horns with the Midwesterners of Brig. Gen. John Gibbon's Black Hat Brigade, known thereafter as the Iron Brigade. The fight at the Brawner Farm lasted several hours and resulted in a stalemate. Convinced that he had trapped Jackson. Pope concentrated the bulk of his army against him. On August 29th, Pope launched a series of assaults against Jackson's position along an unfinished railroad grade. The attacks were repulsed with heavy casualties on both sides. At noon, Longstreet arrived on the field from Thoroughfare Gap and took position on Jackson's right flank. On August 30th, Pope renewed his attacks, seemingly unaware that Longstreet was on the field. When massed Confederate artillery devastated a Union assault by Fitz John Porter's command, Longstreet's wing of 28,000 men counterattacked in the largest, simultaneous mass assault of the war. The Union left flank was crushed and the army driven back to Bull Run. Only an effective Union rearguard action prevented a replay of the First Manassas disaster. Pope's retreat to Centreville was precipitous, nonetheless. The next day, Lee ordered his army in pursuit. This was the decisive battle of the Northern Virginia Campaign.

Always Ready by Keith Rocco.

It was the morning of September 17, 1862 -- a day destined to become the bloodiest 24 hours in American history -- and the 9th New York quietly steadied themselves for the trial to come. The Ninth New York was one of the Federal Army's most colorfully-uniformed commands, clad in exotic regalia inspired by the famed French colonial troops called Zouaves. Like many Yankee Zouave units, at the outbreak of war in April, 1861 these sons of Manhattan had raillied to the cause behind a dashing and charismatic leader Rush Hawkins. Colonel Hawkins was not present at Antietam; ten days earlier he had returned to New York on leave of absence, and the Ninth would go into battle under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Edgar. A. Kimball. While lacking Rush Hawkins good looks and sartorial splendor, Kimball was equally determined that the Ninth New York live up to the inscription emblazoned on the red silk of the regimental colors: Toujours Pret--Always Ready. Morning had given way to afternoon and hundreds of men had fallen in repeated attempts to storm the lower bridge of the Antietam before Isaac Rodmans Federal division got underway. With the Ninth New York and Colonel Harison Fairchild's brigade leading the way, Rodmans troops began crossing the creek at Snavelys Ford, just south of the position held by General Robert Toombs stalwart Georgians. As the Confederates fell back before Burnsides troops, Southern artillery on the heights directed their fire at the ponderous Federal masses. The Practice of the rebel artilleryment was something wonderful in its accuracey, Second Lieutenant Matthew J. Graham recalled; they dropped shot and shell right into our line repeatedly. Lieutenant Graham was hugging the earth with his comrades in Company H. when he heard his commander shout Get up the Ninth! I turned over quickly to look at Colonel Kimball, who had given the order, Graham later wrote, thinking he had become suddenly insane. The Lieutenant rose from the ground, firmly believing that the regiment would not last one minute after the men got fairly on their feet. But Kimball led his Zouaves forward, over the undulating, steadily rising ground. The air was filled with a deluge of bullets, grape, canister and shell, wrote Charles Johnson, who fell with a shot through the left hip. The mental strain was so great, David Thompson observed, the whole landscape for an instant turned slightly red. Awed by Libaires desperate act of gallantry, the New Yorkers regained their momentum. Captain Lawrence Leahy raised the other banner, and followed Libaire, as did Lieutenant Colonel Kimball, Adjutant Homer, and First Lieutenant Robert McKechnie of Company H -- all shouting Forward! With their flags and surviving officers at the very apex of the charge, the Zouaves surged ahead to the wall, forcing Draytons troops from the corpse-strewn breastwork. Ahead of the thinning Federal line, across 500 yards of open meadow, Georgians and South Carolinians of Brigadier General Thomas F. Draytons brigade awaited the oncoming Yankees from the shelter of a low stone Wall. When the Ninth New York had approached to within 200 yards of the Rebel position at the stone wall, Lieutenant Colonel Kimball shouted the command Double quick, charge! A deadly volley blazed out from the muskets of Draytons Confederates, and at such close range the destruction in the Zouave ranks was terrible. Scores of men fell on top of one another, Private Wright recalled, while Lieutenant Graham, his right let shattered at the knee, noted We all went down together. Struggling to rise, Graham discovered that the Color Guard had been obliterated, and the regimental flags lay on the ground. One or two men staggered to their feet and reached for the colors, the officer remembered, but were shot down at once. Suddenly Captain Adolphe Libaire, the 22 year old French-born commander of Company E--the Zouaves Color Company--dashed forward and snatched up the fallen regimental banner. According to Lieutenant Homer, Libaire was habitually quiet, modest and unassuming. But rising to the crisis, the soft-spoken Captain was a man possessed. Raising the flag, Libaire waved it over his head and yelled, Up, dam you, and forward! -- then sprinted for the wall. That Forward, I for one will never forget while I live, Zouave William Cockefair wrote 35 years later; all he required was that we follow him. He showed the way. It was a deed that would later earn the young Frenchman the Medal of Honor.

The Last Full Measure, 1st Minnesota Regiment at Gettysburg by Keith Rocco.

General Winfield Scott Hancock, commander of the Union Second Corps was trying to avert a disaster on the Union center. The exposed Third Corps was overrun and fleeing the battlefield, with the victorious Confederates in pursuit. This breakthrough opened an avenue to the Union rear that threatened the whole army. Hancock needed men to buy him time to bring reinforcements up to plug the gap in the Federal line. The general observed a body of men lying in a slight hollow, just behind the crest of Cemetery Ridge, to the left of the cemetery. He spurred his horse to this position. Hancock spied Colonel William Colvills 1st Minnesota Infantry, 1st brigade, 2nd division, Second Corps. These men were in reserve, but they had been watching the battle unfold through the dense clouds of gunsmoke that clung to the ground on this sultry summer day. The 1st Minnesota was understrength, shouldering but 262 muskets this day. The regiment had been bloodied on every field, from First Bull Run through Chancellorsville, and was further weakened by detachments. This single, undermanned regiment was the only Union force at hand. My God! exclaimed Hancock when he saw them, Are these all the men we have here! What regiment is this? he demanded. First Minnesota, replied Colvill. Charge those lines, Hancock ordered, pointing in the direction of the Peach Orchard and Plum Run. Hancock and Colvill looked at each other, Hancock knowing what he had ordered and Colvill realizing both the necessity and the grim implications of it. Forward, double-quick, Colvill barked to his men. With bayonets fixed, and rifles at right-shoulder shift, the 1st Minnesota charged down the slope toward Cadmus Wilcoxs Confederate brigade, which was then reforming its lines in the marshy terrain along Plum Run. The Minnesotans advanced along a hundred yard front, with both flanks in the air. Losing men at every step, they continued forward. As the Federals neared the enemy, they leveled their bayonets and charged. The ferocity of this assault stunned the Confederates, driving back the first line of defenders, staggering their advance. Then, as both lines steadied, they exchanged volleys at a distance of thirty yards. Though his line continued to melt away, Colvills Minnesotans traded their lives for the precious minutes Hancock required. In just fifteen minutes it was over. Only 47 men, commanded by a sergeant, rallied to the 1st Minnesotas banner. Two hundred fifteen of their comrades, all of their officers, including Colvill, lay on the field.
