A New Birth of FreedomOur constitution does not copy the laws o neighbor-ing states; we are rather a pattern to others than imitatorsourselves. Its administration avors the many instead o theew; this is why it is called a democracy. I we look to thelaws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differ-ences; i no social standing, advancement in public lie allsto reputation or capacity, class considerations not being

allowed to interere with merit

For this offering o their lives they received that renownwhich never grows old. For heroes have the whole earth ortheir tomb; and in lands ar rom their own, where the col-umn with its epitaph declares it, there is enshrined in every

breast a record unwritten with no tablet to preserve it, except that o the heart.

- Pericles Funeral Oration from the Peloponnesian War

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can nothallow -- this ground. Te brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, haveconsecrated it, ar above our poor power to add or detract. Te world can never

orget what they did here. It is or us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to theunfinished work which they who ought here have thus ar so nobly advanced. thatwe here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation,under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-- and that government o the people, bythe people, or the people, shall not perish rom the earth.

Commanders Message: A New Birth of Freedom (Continued from Page 1)

who served in the Civil War. My ruminations have been in the context o the great struggle they were involvedin, the sacrifices they endured, and our individual and collective responsibility, as members o the Sons o UnionVeterans o the Civil War, to preserve the memory o the boys in blue who ought, as President Lincoln said, to

ensure a new birth o reedom and to preserve government o the people, by the people and or the people. Tisresponsibility that we bear is o ancient lineage, harking back at least to the time o the Peloponnesian War (circa431404 BC), as the historian Tucydides reminds us, when the democracy Athens and the oligarchy Sparta wereembroiled in a brutal war or mastery o Greece.

Ill come back to our responsibility later, but first Id like to give a quick thumbnail description o my great-grand-sires service.

John W. Griffinwas born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, in 1837. I am not sure why, but he emigrated to Maine,apparently in 1853, when he was 16 years old. O course, in those days, moving rom New Brunswick to Maine wasas simple as getting on board a schooner in Saint John and getting off in Eastport. John Griffin enlisted as a privatein the Sixth Maine Volunteer Inantry on the 15th o July 1861, the same day the regiment completed mustering

into ederal service. During its service, the regiment participated in numerous battles, including Yorktown, Antie-tam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Rappahannock Station, Te Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Courthouse. Itmustered out in August 1864, having sustained losses o 77 killed, 243 wounded, 38 taken prisoner, and 30 missingin action. O these, 22 killed, 73 wounded, 11 prisoners, and 5 missing were incurred at Fredericksburg; 40 killedand 97 wounded at Rappahannock Station; and 10 killed 37 wounded, 4 prisoners, and 30 missing at SpotsylvaniaCourthouse. John Griffin reenlisted as a Veteran Volunteer on the 23rd o December 1863, but transerred to theU.S Navy on the 10th o April 1864. Tis was afer the Battle o Rappahannock Station, but beore SpotsylvaniaCourthouse. He served on board several Navy ships, including the USS Fort Henry. I am not sure when he mus-tered out. Indications are that he may have served until 1868. He was a member o GAR Post 50 in Cherryfield,Maine.

George Perkinswas born in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1841. He mustered into the Sixth New York IndependentBattery as a private on the 7th o December 1861. He mustered out on 7 December 1864. During his service, theSixth New York served, or the most part, as horse artillery with the cavalry corps o the Army o the Potomac. Tebattery participated in the Peninsula Campaign (when it was assigned as division artillery with Hookers Division),the Battle o Kellys Ford, the Chancellorsville Campaign, the Battle o Brandy Station, Gettysburg, Bristoe Sta-tion Campaign, Rappahannock Bridge, the Mine Run Campaign, the Battle o the Wilderness, Sheridans Raid onRichmond, the Battle o Hawes Shop, Earlys Raid on Washington, and the 1864 Shenandoah Campaign. Despiteits intense involvement in the campaigns o the Army o the Potomac, the Sixth New York suffered only eight killedand nine who died o disease or accidents during the war. Perkins kept a diary during his three years in the armyand wrote numerous letters to his hometown newspaper. He used the pen name Hoplite, the title o the citizensoldier o the ancient Greek city-states. Having been a student at Harvard College, I presume he was amiliar withTucydides account o the Peloponnesian War. Postwar, he was a member o Burbank Post o the GAR and was the

first Commander and member o GAR Post 161 in Woburn, Massachusetts.

Lyman D. Marshwas born in Gilord, New Hampshire in 1841. He mustered into the 8th New Hampshire Volun-teer Inantry on the 23rd o December 1861. Te 8th New Hampshire served rom March 1862 to July 1864 withthe Army and Department o the Gul, including the Red River campaigns under the command o the politicalgeneral Nathaniel Banks. Te regiment was converted into cavalry or a brie period in 1864. During the courseo its service, the regiment lost 58 killed, 255 wounded, 78 prisoners, and 8 missing. It suffered its highest lossesin the battles o Labadieville, Louisiana on October 27th 1862, where it lost 11 killed, 35 wounded, and one takenprisoner; Port Hudson Louisiana on May 27th 1863, where it lost eight killed and 87 wounded; Port Hudson againon June 14th 1863, where it lost twenty our killed, seventy six wounded, 13 taken prisoner, and (continued on page 9)

Te Ontario Regiment in the Army of the Potomac,

as told by an embedded journalistThe Story of the Thirty-Third N.Y.S. Vols: Or Two Years Campaigning

in Virginia and Maryland

by David W. JuddRochester: Benton & Andrews, 1864

New York imes journalist David Wright Judd (1838-1888) accompanied the 33rd New York Volunteer Inantry,the Ontario Regiment, during its two years in the Armyo the Potomac rom 1861 to 1863. Tey ought atWilliamsburg, the Seven Days Battles, Antietam, and atthe first and second battles o Fredericksburg. In that lastfight, o 550 men who advanced, 221 were killed, wound-ed, or missing. Tis regimental history was publishedwhile the war was still ongoing, in 1864.

As a journalist, Judd was not with the companies o theregiment in the thick o its engagements, but he was withthem beore and aferward, and he had good access to theheadquarters tent. Here are things to like about this con-temporary account o the Civil War:

Judd had a fine nineteenth century way with words.Te men o the regiment were brave, gallant boys.He was quite eloquent when discussing the Unioncause and the sacrifice o the troops.

He was with the 33rd in camp, on marches, and asthe soldiers cared or the wounded and buried their

dead. Tere are many amusing stories o Civil Warsoldiering.

His description o the retreat o the Army o thePotomac rom the outskirts o Richmond back downthe Peninsula in June, 1862, is still resh and rank.wenty-first century inantry leaders could drawlessons rom it. His description o Antietam the dayafer the battle is similarly graphic. You can learn alot rom Bradys photographs, but Judds wordsare just as vivid.

Te book contains unvarnished estimates o manygenerals, as seen rom one regiment. McClellan wasinspiring, Porter was a goat, Burnside was manlybecause he was honest. A century and a hal later,all have been the subject o studies and evaluations.Reading contemporary views is rereshing.

Judd wrote the book about the leaders and soldiers othe regiment. He never drew attention to himsel. Teword I is almost entirely absent rom the book. Tislack o ego is rereshing.

Te volume includes maps and woodcut illustrations by anofficer o the regiment. Te work o veterans, biographers,and historians now tell us more about each o the 33rdsengagements, but this account by an embedded journalistis valuable and entertaining precisely because he wrote thebook so close in time to awul and momentous events.

Tip:Make sure you purchase a facsimile reprint of Judds booknot a computer-generated copy that used optical scanningrather than reproduce the pages.

A Union units story, now told from all sides

Path of Blood: The True Story of the 33rd New York Volunteers

by George ContantSeeco Printing Company, 1997

Path of Bloodis a new history o a regiment in the Armyo the Potomac, the 33rd New York Volunteer Inantry.Te Ontario Regiment was raised in Western New Yorkin the spring o 1861, and it served in Virginia and Mary-

land -- fighting in the battles o Williamsburg, Antietam,and Fredericksburg -- during the first two years o theCivil War.

Te only previous book on the regiment, published in1864, was written by the New York imes correspondentthat accompanied the unit, David Judd. Tough not aproessional historian, George Contant masterullylocated and combed through hundreds o scattered CivilWar letters and ading newspaper articles to trace anewthe story o the regiment.

Contants new account has the same reshness as Juddsbecause it so extensively quotes the contemporary let-ters o its officers and soldiers. It is even more satisyingbecause Contant also quotes the generals, men in neigh-boring units on the same battlefields, and the Coneder-ate soldiers who aced the 33rd. It is resh, too, becauseContant, in the tradition o great historians like Parkman,walked each o the battlefields. Tis reshness andamiliarity overcomes the books minor editorial short-comings -- some typos and ormatting lapses uncaughtby the prooreader.

Even afer more than 130 years, there are new things todiscover about the Civil War. At the Battle o Williams-burg on May 5, 1862, three companies o the 33d halted aConederate advance led by Jubal Early with a desperatebayonet charge, preventing a major rout o the Unionorces. Brigadier General Winfield Scott Hancock receivedthe credit or the daring reversal -- jump starting hisremarkable military and political career. Contant persua-sively shows, however, that it was the quick thinking oLieutenant Colonel Joseph Corning o the 33rd

that wasdecisive.Du Picqonce said

that studyo a singleskirmishin detailyields moreknowledgeo warthan manybooks oncampaigns.Path oBloodillustratesthis well.Tere aremanyprooundlessons about the Civil War -- and about waritsel -- to be derived rom the experience o the 33rdNew York as it marched through Maryland and Virginia:og o war, riction o war, principles o war, leadership,ollowership, cohesion and unit spirit, training, logistics,cause and comrades, and so on. Contant -- like mysel,

a descendant o one o the 33ds soldiers -- deserves greatcredit or recovering them. Trough the eyes o the 33rdssoldiers we see McClellan and Sedgwick and Hancock-- the Peninsula, Antietam, and Fredericksburg -- at firsthand. We hear the bands around the campfires and seethe burnished rows o steel on the march. From theirletters -- as they wrote them within hours and days otheir struggles -- we hear their voices, cheers, and curses.We eel the battle rage. We learn o their exasperations,and their hopes. And in the end, we know too theirlove o country.

A note from reasurer Lee Stone, PDC:Brothers who have not yet gotten around to renewing membership in Lincoln-Cushing Camp, SUVCW, may wish toconsider what the Camp does with its portion o your dues money. Each year the Camp supports projects that keepgreen in the minds o everyone--not just Brothers o the SUVCW--the deeds and sacrifices o the men who wore the

Blue rom 1861 to 1865 and saved our Union. Recent examples are: contributing to the Civil War rails sign about the1863 death o General Michael Corcoran in Fairax City VA; helping the 54th Massachusetts Inantry buy a new flag(the old one tattered beyond use by numerous campaigns); organizing and leading the public ceremony honoring allthose who died or the Union, held by our Camp each year on 30 May (the true Memorial Day, handed down rom theGrand Army o the Republic) at Arlington National Cemetery. Tis year Arlington National Cemetery has asked totake part in our 30 May ceremony, in celebration o the 150th anniversary o the Cemetery.

O those who have renewed this year so ar, the Camp wishes publicly to thank the ollowing Brothers or donationsabove and beyond their dues: David A. Anderson, Donald E. Beck, Burrus M. Carnahan, Carroll J. Collins, John R.Crook, Shaun P. English, Peter H. Gregson, CC Richard N. Griffin, PCC Charles B. Hawley, Richard L. King, SVCCJ. Brinley Lewis, David J.

five missing in action; and at Sabine Crossroads Louisiana on the 8th o April 1864, where it lost three killed, 13wounded, and 42 taken prisoner. Private Marsh was wounded in action on the 14th o June 1863 at Port Hudsonand became a prisoner o war on the 8th o April 1864 at Sabine Crossroads. He returned to his regiment on the

30th o October 1864. He mustered out on the 18th o January 1865. So ar, I have not been able to determine i hewas a member o a GAR post.

Back to that responsibility I reerred to at the beginning o this essay. We do have the task o ensuring that thememory o the boys in blue does not ade away, but is kept alive or succeeding generations. In my view, we shoulddo this by keeping the objects that they ought or and the heavy sacrifices that they endured central to their stories.In a personal way, I have tried to do this by recounting the service o three o my great-grandathers. How will youhelp to perpetuate the memory o your ancestors?
