New Jersey and the Gettysburg Campaign

bar_flag.gif

On the 15th of June Governor Curtin addressed an appeal to the Governor of New Jersey for aid as follows:

HARRISBURG, June 15, 1863

GOVERNOR JOEL PARKER:

This State is threatened with invasion by a large force, and we are raising troops as rapidly as possible to resist them. I understand there are three regiments of your troops at Beverly waiting to be mustered out. Could an arrangement be made with you and the authorities at Washington by which the service of those regiments could be had for the present emergency? Please advise immediately.

A.G. CURTIN,
Governor Pennsylvania

On June 17, Governor Parker of New Jersey promptly replied to the appeal of Governor Curtain, promising all the assistance in his power, and on that day issued the following proclamation:

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER
TRENTON, NJ
June 17, 1863

Jerseymen! The State of Pennsylvania is invaded! A hostile army is now occupying and despoiling the towns of our sister State. She appeals to New Jersey, through her Governor, to aid in driving back the invading army.

Let us respond to this call upon our patriotic State with inprecedented zeal.

I therefore call upon the citizens of this State to meet and organize into companies, and to report to the Adjutant-General of the State as soon as possible, to be organized into regiments as the militia of New Jersey, and press forward to the assistance of Pennsylvania in this emergency.

The organization of these troops will be given in general orders as soon as practicable.

{L.S.} Given under my hand and privy seal this seventeenth day of June, eighteen hundred and sixty-three.

JOEL PARKER

Attest:
S.M. DICKINSON, Private Secretary

The presence in the State of a number of the nine months' regiments, whose terms of service had or were about expiring, caused the Governor to issue a special appeal to these troops as follows:

STATE OF NEW JERSEY
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER
TRENTON, NJ
June 17, 1863

Soldiers! The Governor of Pennsylvania has requested your services to assist in repelling an invasion of that State. Your term of service has expired. You have performed your duty and your gallant conduct has reflected honor on yourselves and the State that sent you forth.

It will take time to organize and send other troops to the aid of Pennsylvania. You are already organized and drilled. The hard service you have seen in Virginia has made you veterans - far more efficient than new troops can possibly be.

I regret any necessity that may detain you from your homes, but can this appeal from a sister State, in her hour of danger, be disregarded?

Your State and United States pay will be continued. You will not be required to go out of the State of Pennsylvania, and will return as soon as the emergency will admit. Your response to this appeal will add to the fame you have already achieved.

JOEL PARKER

The New Jersey men who went to war in 1861 and 1862 were governed by love of country and hatred of the heresy of Secession. They were the representatives of a principle and embodied in their service the patriotic sentiment of the time.

No danger was too great, no trial too severe, but found them ready and willing to undertake its performance, and in the case of hundreds of these patriotic men, when their term of service expired they re-enlisted for the whole war.

This was the class of men who confronted Lee's army on the heights of Gettysburg.


In response to the latter appeal from her governor, New Jersey's Twenty-third and Twenty-seventh Regiments volunteered for this service. In addition thereto, ten companies of Infantry and one battery of light artillery volunteered for the emergency.

Company "A" left trenton the morning of June 18 and arrived at Harrisburg the same day; with the other Companies following and arriving soon after. Upon arrival they reported for duty to Major General Couch, Department Commander and were organized into two two battalions. at the end of the thirty day service they returned to trenton for discharge. Governor Curtin on the 24th of June expressed his thanks of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to New Jersey:

"for the patriotic disposition they so truly manifest, and their willingness to take up arms for oue defence."

The First & Second NJ Brigades

 

The First and Second New Jersey Brigades suffered greatly from sickness brought on by exposure during the Peninsula Campaign. When added to the casualties suffered, the losses by death due to illness, those killed in action, death due to wounds received during battle or the discharges made necessary by disabilities of varied types, the percentage of waste during the past two years proved to be immense.


The First NJ Brigade
 
On June 30, 1863, the First New Jersey Brigade accounted for 1,849 of it's men. A loss of 3,136  of the 4,985 men who were originally mustered in.
 
In a letter to his father, Josiah Grimes of the 15th New Jersey described the hardships endured by the men of his company during their march on the to Gettysburg.
 
"The road was very dusty," related Grimes, "and it was a hot day, but still they marched on. We had scarcely any rest and the men began to fall out one after the other until there were scarcely any men left in the regiment. ... Our whole company fell out, Lieutenants, sergeants and all ... After a while they had to halt to let the men catch up."

Chaplain Alanson Haines of the 15th New Jersey, in his narrative history of the regiment, offered a vivid description of the difficult conditions that confronted the Bluecoats. "Who can tell what a march it was?," recalled Haines. "None who were on it would ever consent to make it over again. With the previous fatigue, and the dust, and the heat, human nature could not endure it. The men fell out in squads; some feinted, some were sunstruck. The aides came riding back from ... [General Wright], repeating orders to close up the ranks and hurry on the battalions. So the column was forced on and on, until only one man in ten remained with the brigade."

Colonel Edmund Halsey, commanding the 15th New Jersey, upon learning the location of Lee's army, suddenly understood the "mysterious movements" of the Army of the Potomac. Edmund Halsey of the 15th New Jersey described the scene that greeted the Bluecoats. As they marched through the towns to the north, "The citizens," recalled Halsey, "especially at Littlestown were very kind. Large pails of cool water were kept on the horse blocks in which the men could dip their cups as they passed along. Citizens were seen carrying off the wounded in buggies. The band struck up going through this village and the marching of the men was perfect throughout the brigade and their spirit was excellent."

On July 2 at two o'clock in the afternoon the advance brigade of the Sixth Army Corps came upon the field and at 6 p.m. The entire Corps had reported after a forced march variously estimated at from thirty to thirty-five miles.  The Sixth Corps had done some remarkable marching during the past three days and with their presence on the field, the entire Army of the Potomac was now at hand. The First New Jersey Brigade reached the battlefield at 4 p.m. The brigade with its Corps had marched fifty-five miles in three days, bivouacking on the night of June 30 at Manchester after a march of twenty-three miles on that day. The brigade was encamped in a meadow near the town and the tired weary men sought their soft and rich beds at an early hour expecting to have a good nights rest, but it was not to be. About 10 p.m. the camp was suddenly aroused by the shrill, clear notes of "Assembly". Every man jumped to his feet and seized his arms. Soon the order came to march and the "Forward" sounded. The order had been to march to Taneytown and the men in line noticed that the column was countermarching on the same road they had gone over. The column turned into the broad Baltimore pike and headed westward. All night long the steady tramp, tramp, tramp  was kept up and when daylight broke, the march was still continued. There was no halt for coffee or breakfast, but no one murmured or complained. And on they went until about 1:00 when to the joy of everyone the head of the column was seen filing into an open field. This meant coffee and a little rest.

Long lines stretched across the field and the smoke from small fires rose into the sky, but hardly had the rear  of the column gained its place to rest before a horseman was seen coming at full speed down the pike. His horse with white foam from its mouth told of its mission of urgency. Riding to General Sedgwick he delivered his dispatch, "The Corps is wanted at Gettysburg in the shortest possible space of time. "A thrill went into the hearts of the men. Coffee in various stages of brewing was emptied onto the ground. Stacks were broken and from mouth to mouth was heard, "Our comrades at the front want us."
 
Away the column went and on gaining the pike, the stride of the men in their eagerness to get forward kept the officers' horses on a dog-trot. Ten miles were passed over and Rock Creek was reached but one mile from the line of battle. A short halt to fill canteens was made. Thirty-five miles in eighteen hours. 
 
Colonel Penrose recalls what transpired when they reached Rock Creek:

"We had arrived none to soon. Our troops had been repulsed at almost every point, the fate of the army trembled in the balance. Canteens had hardly been filled when the order came to cross. The bluffs on the opposite side were steps, the water deep, but nothing could stop those brave men. In we went, and up the steep ascent on the other side. I was leading the brigade with the gallant 15th. Hardly had I reached the level ground beyond when Captain Whittier, personal aid-de-camp to General Sedgwick, rode up in great haste and saying to me, Penrose, for Gods sake get to the front as quick as you can; cut loose and follow me, everything is gone to the devil! I put the men on dog trot. Meeting a column crossing our track I gave the order to close up and cut through it, which was promptly obeyed. I followed on and came into line just in rear of the Third Regulars, who were on the right of the Fifth Corps-our lines had been drive to the crest of the hill. The situation was everything but encouraging. Regular formation of the troops engaged there was none. Every man appeared to be fighting on his own hook, but with a determination not to yield one inch further. An incident occurred just at this time, which in my opinion had great weight in the result of that days fight. As I went into line a man approached me having as a prisoner a Confederate colonel mounted. The man asked me where headquarters were. I pointed out the corps flag in a field to the rear. The colonel then addressed me as follows: For God sake, how big is thisCatholic corps? (having reference to our corps badge, a Greek cross.) I answered Why?) He replied, You were thirty miles from here last night. We saw your colors (corps) coming over the hill, and the orders for our reinforcements to be pushed in were countermanded. It will thus be seen that our timely arrival checked a movement that, had it been made, would have given them the crest of the hill, and cut our army in two. As soon as my line was formed it was moved forward. Going over the weary and worn out troops in our front, down the hill, we went at a thundering pace, driving everything before us, across the swamp at its foot, through the woods, never stopping until we reached a house just on the edge of the wheat-field, where the enemy made a decided stand. Here also stood an entire battery, every horse killed. The enemy had captured it in the afternoon, but had had no time to take it from the field. Here I halted, as night was coming on, and I could see none of our troops on my right or left. Covering these guns with our rifles, I deployed two companies to my right before I made a connection with our troops, finding them to be part of General Wheatons command which had gone in on my right. Six companies were deployed to my left before finding any one to connect with; it was then, if I remember right, with the Twelfth Regulars. Here we lay all night, but at the first peep of day I advanced and took the house and secured the battery. In this position we remained until about 12 p.m. of the third when I was relieved by the Third Regulars, and after considerable search found and joined my brigade about 3 p.m. In the last days fight the brigade was not called into action, and the 15th was the only regiment of the brigade that took part in the fighting on that memorable field. The advanced position gained on the night of the second by the 15th was the same that had been occupied by the 3rd Corps and from which they had been driven, speaks louder than words for their gallantry. Their steadiness under most trying circumstances, speaks volumns for the discipline for which the regiment was noted, and thus ended our share, of no insignificant value, in the turning and decisive battle of war." 

On the march back to Virginia, there were several other skirmishes with the enemy and the total casualties in the several regiments being reported on July 18 were 1 killed and 16 wounded.

The Second NJ Brigade

The Second New Jersey Brigade was composed of the 5th  Regiment under the command of Colonel Samuel Star, the 6th Regiment commanded by Colonel James T. Hatfield, the  7th Regiment commanded by Colonel Joseph W. Revere,  the 8th Regiment under the command of Colonel Adolphus J. Johnson and Battery "B", First NJ Artillery commanded by Captain John E. Beam.

 

This Brigade was assigned to Hooker's Division and otherwise known as "Hooker's Old Guard". It formed the Third Brigade, Second Division of the III Corp. It was commanded by Colonel Star of the 5th who was the senior officer.

 

In the aftermath of the Battle of Chancellorsville, the III Corps was reorganized into two Divisions, The Second NJ Brigade with the Second New Hampshire replacing the discharged Second New York, remained in the Second Division, now commanded by Brigadier General Andrew A. Humphreys.

 

5th Regiment NJ Vols. Infantry

 

The 5th NJ originally mustered in a total of 861 men, 38 officers and 823 enlisted men. On June 30, 1863, the 5th  NJ would account for 15 officers and 206 enlisted men, a total of 221 men.

 

On the morning of July 1, 1863, General Sickles received orders from General Meade to fall back into position on the Pipe Creek line of battle. However, Sickles soon learned the I and XI Corps, which with his own comprised the left wing of the army, were engaged with enemy and he promptly moved his men toward the sound of action. General Sickles had only taken command of the III Corp a few days previous and was naturally anxious to face the enemy. Detaching De Troiband's brigade from Burney's Division and Burling's Brigade which was composed of the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th New Jersey Regiments, 115th Pennsylvania and 2nd New Hampshire from Humphrey's Division with to remain at Emmitsburg, General Sickles moved forward with Burney's Division reaching the battlefield and was positioned on the left of the I Corp.

 

On July 2, 1863, Colonel Sewell of the 5th NJ, reporting to General Humphrey's, was ordered to relieve the 63 PA on picket duty on the Emmitsburg Road and when arriving were deployed as skirmishers. The right of the regiment rested at the white house, the left extended to the barn on the Emmitsburg Road, with the line covering the entire front of Humphrey's Division. The 5th became subject to severe artillery fire for a full hour when Barksdale's Brigade appeared on the left and in the front of the position occupied by the 5th.

 

Seeing this, Colonel Sewell at once notified General Humphreys of Barksdale's arrival and after examining the ground was quickly convinced that the only place to check the attack was on the road and the crest of the hill which they held. Barksdale's infantry pushed the left of the line of battle in such strong force driving in the troops on Sewell's left. With the flank of the 5th NJ becoming exposed, the left flank fell back and Barksdale's infantry now occupied the land which was occupied just moments ago by the 5th NJ. Sewell and the 5th held their new position firmly expecting advancing support from his rear. But none came to his aid.

 

The 5th NJ was now severely compromised.  It was exposed to a combined musketry and artillery fire which was impossible to with stand. It was quite apparent that to remain would mean annihilation or capture. Sewell rallied the 5th NJ on the right, withdrawing it from its compromised position, while at the same time covering Seely's Battery which was now firing while in retreat. As the 5th NJ fell back in good order and amid terrible musket and artillery fire, it was noticed that Humphrey's line was changing front to his rear and right as to connect with the First Division which was forced to abandon its position.

 

The 5th NJ fought gallantly and confronted overwhelming numbers. Colonel Sewell was hit by a musket ball, acting Major Victor M. Healy was hit with a shell and Captain E. P. Berry, acting Adjutant, was seriously wounded causing his leg to be amputated, thus causing his death on July 6, 1863. Of the 221 officers and enlisted men who marched onto the battlefield at Gettysburg, only 127 survived.

 

The Second New Jersey Brigade was highly praised by General Burney who wrote,

 

" I cannot estimate too highly the services of the regiments from Burling's Brigade, Second Division, 5th, 6th, and 7th Regiments, NJ Volunteers, Infantry. These regiments were sent to me during the contest and most gallantly did they sustain the glorious reputation won by then in former battles.

 

General Humphreys, who commanding the Second Division of the III Corp wrote,

 

"Colonel Sewell reported to me and relieved the pickets of General Graham's Brigade on my left, some of which extended over a part of my front. This regiment had been posted but a short time when a most earnest request was made by a staff officer of General Sickles that another regiment should be sent to support General Burney, At this moment, Colonel Sewell sent me word that the enemy was driving in my pickets and was advancing in two lines to the attack.

 

"Seeley's battery had now opened upon the enemy's infantry as they began to advance, Turnbull's battery was likewise directed against them, and I was about to throw forward somewhat the left of my infantry and engage the enemy with it when I received orders from General Burney (General Sickles having been dangerously wounded and carried from the field) to throw back my left and form a line oblique to and in rear of the one I then held and was informed that the First Division would complete the line to Round Top Ridge. This I did under a heavy artillery and infantry from the enemy, who was advanced on my whole front.

 

"At the time Colonel Sewell's regiment returned to the line, having maintained most gallantly its position on picket with very heavy loss. Colonel Sewellwas severely wounded soon after. His regiment rejoined the main line.

New Jersey's Artillery

Battery B was moved to the front early in the morning and placed in position on second line near base of Little Round Top. At 9:30 a.m. the Battery was moved to the front and left, and placed in line on rich to left of Trostle house. On the right was an Orchard containing cherry trees, that were soon be bereft of fruits. To the right and rear, the house where General Sickles had his headquarters. The forenoon was passed in quietness, except now again the crack of some skirmishers rifles on the right front.

Shortly before noon Berdan's sharpshooters advance to the Fairfield Road, on our left, passing the Peach Orchard and disappearing over the ridge on Emmitsberg Road. It was but a short time until they were heavily engaged, and another regiment was sent to their support. Details of infantry were tearing down the fences and front.

At about 2 p.m. the enemy appeared, driving skirmishers before them over the ridge in front, but far to the left. General Sickles ordered Capt. Clark to take position with his battery near Sherfy Peach Orchard. He opened fire, using shell and shrapnel, firing slowly with good effect, about six rounds from each gun, at the enemy, who were advancing in column, their front covered by a cloud of skirmishers, and crossing the Emmitsberg Road 1400 yards distant. The fire of the Battery drove them back to cover of the woods, after which the Battery, in double column, advanced to within 50 yards of the Emmitsberg Road. At that time General Sickles, Birney and Hunt met in conference at the Peach Orchard. Ames' Battery was coming up on a try. In passing the position vacated by Battery B. the enemy opened hot fire on them, from battery placed in position near the Emmitsberg Road, 1400 yards distant. The generals road off immediately after this fire opened. Capt. Randolph ordered Capt. Clark to go back and attack the enemy's batteries. The command was given, " right reverse, trot," almost before the line had straightened, and the order was given, " action, right," and instantly around with the guns and down went the trails. Before getting into position Rensalear Casselman was shot out of his saddle. He sleeps with the unknown dead.

General Sickles said to Capt. Clark, "hold this position while you have a shot in your limbers or a man to work or guns." The battery opened with shell and case shot, firing slowly, first by gun, next by section, then by half battery, and once or twice by battery. The Capt. gave every order in a clear, ringing voice that could be heard above the roar of the battle. He passed from gun to gun directing the fire of each, character of missile and time of fuse. As soon as he was satisfied with the effect of battery fire he gave the order, "fire at will," and from that moment six Parrott guns poured a stream of shell and shrapnel into the enemy's batteries, and not we alone, for Smith's Battery got in position on the left at the Devil' s Den, and Ames' Battery got in action at the angle of the Peach Orchard. The enemy brought other batteries into action on the left of Emmitsberg Road. Three minutes after going into action Tom Post's head was shot off, and the horses became very restless under the enemy's artillery fire. Some were killed and wounded. In less then 30 minutes the enemy's fire slackened, one of their limbers blew up, and at almost the same moment one of their guns was dismounted. At this Billy Riley jumped astraddle of Clairville's gun and began cheering. The cheer was taken up by the infantry, and followed the line to right and left, until response was heard to our cheers from the Devil's Den to the Peach Orchard. Shortly after this the enemy ceased firing. When it commenced our only line was a thin one of skirmishers.

During its continuance Ward's Brigade went into line with its left on Little Round Top. On Ward's right and to the left was DeTrobriand's Brigade, with Winslow's Battery in the wheatfield in his rear. And the rear for support was the 68th, 114th and 141st Pennsylvania regiments. Grant was in the orchard with 2nd New Hampshire, 63rd Pennsylvania, and later in the day, all regiments supporting us were put in on his line. At the Peach Orchard the line formed a right angle, and ran parallel with the Emmitsberg Road to the Rogers house, and was held by Brewster's and Carr's Brigade of Humphrey's Division. Turnbull's Battery on right, Seeley's in the center and Randolph's on left about in front of Sherfy's house. Burling's brigade in reserve.

Such was the formation of the line of battle.

"The President announces to the country that news from the Army of the Potomac, up to 10 P.M. of the 3rd. is such as to cover that Army with the highest honor, to promise a great success to the cause of the Union, and to claim the condolence of all for the many gallant fallen. And that for this, he especially desires that on this day, He whose will, not ours, should ever be done, be everywhere remembered and reverenced with profoundest gratitude."
