There is no proof this girl is a kidnap victim
A picture purporting to show a young kidnap victim who managed to escape her abductors was published on various social media accounts in 2018 and 2019 - including a Facebook post shared more than 240,000 times. However, AFP established the image was taken at the site of a gas explosion in Accra, Ghana, in 2017, with police confirming there was no proof of the kidnapping claim.
The social media posts, archived here, here, here, here and here, make no mention of where or when the alleged abduction took place.
The posts were published on accounts registered in South Africa, Uganda and the United States, all using the same picture and making the identical claim.
AFP googled the text and found the same picture elsewhere with a wider angle. Using the magnifier function on InVID, an online image and video verification tool, we were able to pick up the words "Benab House" on the distinctive green building in the top left corner.
A search on Benab House using Google Maps identified the area as Atomic Junction in Accra, the capital of Ghana.
In the screengrab below, using Google Maps, AFP matched the numbered markers to the same identifying features in the girl's pictures:
1. A tin shack with a number underneath the overhang;
2. The fuelling station with green trim on the forecourt roof;
3. Benab House; and
4. The overpass in the background.
Another Google text search including the phrase "Atomic Junction" returned a number of stories and pictures referring to a gas explosion on October 7, 2017 across the road from Benab House. This was AFP's story of the disaster, with pictures below.
Based on the new information, a Facebook search then produced a list of posts under the hashtag #LivefromAtomic, some with original pictures of the little girl, like these here, here, here and here.
Dated the day after the explosion, none of these posts make mention of the girl being kidnapped, unlike those that followed a year later. According to the tweet below from a Ghana media company, the girl was called Maame and could not find her parents. AFP has been unable to verify the girl's name or fate.
If you have any information about the girl, you can contact us here.
This girl can't find her parents— #GhanaRiceDeyBe (@OmgVoiceGhana) October 8, 2017
Her name is Maame..
Kindly retweet #LatestFromAtomic #AtomicExplosion pic.twitter.com/Cl5mYtjBFq
However, Greater Accra Regional Police spokeswoman, ASP Efia Tenge, said no missing person reports matching the girl's description were filed at the time.
"This picture was taken at the Atomic Junction in Madina, Accra during the gas station explosion. That's one of our men on the ground gathering information... after the tragedy. I'm not privy to enough information about the little girl, but I believe she might have lost a caretaker or might be around the place when the incident happened," she told AFP.

Alex Clark of The Guardian penned an article that I came across in a manner that was entirely coincidental. My blog post about Daniel Defoe had been up for only a few days when, lo and behold, I found myself reading about a new kind of writing called "autofiction." Clark provides a definition as he discusses the new genre:
"Suddenly this kind of 'autofiction' – fictionalised autobiography that does away with traditional elements of the novel such as plot and character development – is everywhere" (Source).
As any person of the writerly type would do, I kept reading to find out what was going on, my curiosity leading the way, and that's when I connected the dots as to what was happening in my mind. I saw that I was recognizing the characteristics of this new form of writing, and realized that I'd seen it before, very recently, and it had everything to do with Daniel Defoe.
In Defoe's time other writers had published fictionalized narratives about life as it unfolds, from the perspective of a single person, sans the aspect of organized artistic form. Defoe elaborated on the style to produce what he termed the "private history." The result of his efforts brought us a voluminous collection of breakthrough novels:
The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1719)
The The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1719)
Memoirs of a Cavalier (1720)
Moll Flanders (1722)
Captain Singleton (1722)
The Journal of the Plague Year (1722)
Colonel Jack (1722)
Roxana: The Fortunate Mistress (1724)
The funny thing about recalling these works is how their content resembles the first two words of Clark's definition, because they are, indeed, "fictionalised autobiography." With regard to "traditional elements of the novel," well, in Defoe's time, such elements hadn't come to exist yet.
When I found Clark discussing Olivia Laing's novel Crudo (2018), in which he describes how "Crudo slips sinuously between 'Kathy' the pre-millennial icon of the American counterculture and a 21st-century woman on the brink of multiple life changes," and that the "action slides from a luxurious holiday in Italy to Korea, Grenfell, Steve Bannon's resignation, [and] a priest giving a sermon in Italian 'in which the word WhatsApp was frequently discernible,'" I couldn't help but to observe parallels to Defoe's work.
From Defoe's time, writers leading up to the current age, from Richardson and Fielding, to Burney and Austen, to Hawthorne and Melville, to Dickens and Collins, to Brontë and Eliot, to Hardy and Wilde, to Woolf and Joyce, to Ellison and Lee, to Nabokov and Vonnegut, to King and Gaiman, and so forth and so on, the novel has been shaped into what we come to expect in today's reading market.
And yet it is the "market" that concerns us here, because as Clark tells us, according to the frenzy of the internet-driven, social media age, in which publishing professionals are faced with notorious slush piles, comprised of ongoing novice attempts at the literary tradition, "Writers, then, need strategies to meet the darting eyes of those too powerful, or otherwise occupied, to listen to them." In short, a new trend has developed in which writers are abandoning the classic structure of the novel — character development, plot, etc. — in favor of blending aspects of memoir-styled nonfiction with fictionally created characters to produce a reading experience that feels fresh and different, enabled by the power of its introspective traits.
The quality of introspection is the factor that drove Defoe's novels into trail-blazing success (though he didn't live to see much of the rewards). Introspective writing satisfies an innate need lurking within the human psyche, not only because people want to feel like they're not the only ones experiencing life on life's terms, but because the nature of introspective writing projects the opportunity for discovery. Imagine, for example, stumbling across your aunt's diary from a few decades past, a document she may have meant to have kept hidden. Are you not enticed to find out what she went through? It is the subliminal element of attraction that underscores autofiction, to learn the experience of life from a personalized, lived-in perspective.
When the Internet came into the mainstream, not only did the publishing industry change, but we witnessed the curious onset of experimentation, from novels written on Twitter (micro-novels) to among others, the community-driven novel (collaborative fiction), staples in the abandonment of the literary tradition. As we are learning, however, it seems the writer's ego never truly fades, never wholly recedes into the background. And so it is that they continue to seek that comfort zone in the cabin by the lake, the quietude stimulating as they seek to tap out their masterworks amid the fragrance of coffee as it wafts through the air. On this note, though the stylistic traits of autofiction will come across as modernized, much more intriguing and energetic, in comparison to the olden form that is the private history, it seems that from Daniel Defoe to Olivia Laing — almost 300yrs to the day — the novel itself as a species of writing has somehow managed to come full circle.
To view the matter from this perspective is to contemplate why the elements of character development and plot came about in the first place. There is a reason why Defoe's private histories are recognized as fundamental novel writing, and so it is that with autofiction, a new kind of writing that is, according to Clark, nowadays to be found "everywhere," the pleasure will be in not only coming to marvel and enjoy this new literature as it flies off the bookshelves, but to envision where the phenomenon will take us next.

Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
This is the very first brew of GA, something Barclay Perkins would churn out in large quantities in the second half of 1917 and the beginning of 1918. Most batches were between 900 and 1,200 barrels. Meaning it was the bulk of what they brewed. X Ale brews were around 200 barrels, those of XLK, the only Bitter they brewed at this point, were 300-400 barrels.
But everything changed in April 1918, when permitted output was cut again and average gravity reduced to 1030º (everywhere except Ireland, where it was 1045º). The first price controls were also introduced: < 1030º 4d per pint, 1030 – 1034º 5d per pint.
The rule changes had an immediate impact at Barclay Perkins. Both X Ale and GA were discontinued and replaced by a new, even weaker Mild: Ale 4d, at 1027º. For the next year this was the only Mild they brewed, until April 1919 when average gravity was increased to 1040º and Barclay's brought back X Ale (at a gravity of 1036º) . Though they continued to brew Ale 4d at the lower gravity. Amazingly, it survived right through to the next war, only being discontinued in 1941.
There's not much really to say about GA. It's literally a scaled down version of X Ale, having been parti-gyled with it. All the same ingredients, just slightly smaller quantities. In many ways, WW I saw the birth of modern Mild. Beers of just 3 and a bit percentage ABV and reasonably dark in colour.
Now I've told you all about Ale 4d, guess what recipe will come next? That's right, a lovely watery Mild.

If You Seek His Monument - Look Around
Americans have always revered their heroes. Every
generation seeks out men and women who, through their deeds, define the
character of that generation. Heroes change as generations change,
reflecting in their heroes each generation's definition of what is
heroic. The changing values of a society can be seen in the individuals
that are embraced as heroes. Although each generation's changing mores
are reflected in its heroes, certain time-honored American values seem
to transcend generations. Common themes of individuality, courage,
unselfishness, patriotism, and sacrifice seem to prevail time and again
among heroes of any generation.
Although generational values help define a hero, the
heroic individual is an individual of action. The common thread that
binds all American heroes together is that each one took action at a
precise moment of time when action needed to be taken. An old English
proverb states:
The draft that blows out a match makes a furnace
burn better and what prostrates a coward excites a brave man to
Many men and women whom society has deemed heroes
often report that they did not consider their acts as heroic at all.
Common statements such as, "I was just doing my job," or "I just did
what I had to do," reveal no preconceived bravado or patriotic pining.
The individual, instead, just took action. Most "heroes" are simply
persons who rose to an occasion and took action without thinking about
the potential outcome.
War is a natural breeding ground for heroic deeds.
The battlefield is a fertile place for men of action. Hence, many of our
nation's heroes are, or have been, men of war. The common aforementioned
themes that prevail among heroes of any generation multiply on the
battlefield. Men rise to an occasion without thought of bravery or
patriotism, or without thought of the consequences. Thus, men become
heroes to their generation and possibly to generations that follow.
The American Civil War produced many men of action.
The exploits of men like Grant, Lee, Jackson, Sheridan, to name a few,
are legendary. These men became our heroes. History tells of their
heroic deeds and the significance of their contributions to the cause
for which they fought. The Civil War, as with any war, produced men of
lesser stature, men of lesser notoriety, men whose deeds on the
battlefield, however heroic, went unheralded if not outright ignored.
The Battle of Gettysburg has produced many of these "unsung heroes"; men
whose actions on the battlefield remain clouded in obscurity.
There is hardly a place on the great battlefield of
Gettysburg that remains untouched by some long-forgotten heroic deed.
This is especially true of the ground three miles East of Gettysburg
where on July 3, 1863, two mounted opponents clashed in combat. The
fight at East Cavalry Field lasted less than a day and produced far
fewer casualties than the other engagements at Gettysburg, but produced
its share of men who rose to the occasion, took action and became
heroes. Often relegated to the footnotes of the battle, these men and
their deeds are all but forgotten. The men that you are about to be
introduced to were men of action. Men who through their actions tell the
story of the clash of arms three miles east of Gettysburg. Men who
should be counted among the "Unsung Heroes of East Cavalry
Major, 5th Michigan Cavalry
Noah Henry Ferry had always been a man of action.
Born in 1831 to Reverend William M. Ferry and his wife Amanda, young
Noah grew up a son of true pioneers. Reverend William Ferry was
appointed Presbyterian missionary to Mackinaw Island, Michigan Territory
in 1821. For nearly thirteen years he and his wife ministered to the
Indians, fur traders, and soldiers of Fort Mackinaw which was located on
the island. Fort Mackinaw is where Noah, the reverend's third son, was
born. Within a few years of Noah's birth, the Ferry's moved their family
south to the shores of Lake Michigan to what eventually became the
Village of Grand Haven.
Lumbering was becoming king in the new state of
Michigan (1836) and Reverend Ferry decided to take financial advantage
of the new industry. Involving himself in a lumber mill, Ferry soon
prospered and branched out into ship building and ironworks. Ferry and
Sons eventually added to their enterprises by operating a bank and
owning dry goods and hardware stores in addition to their lumber and
ironworks business. As the village of Grand Haven grew so did the Ferry
family's wealth and influence.
Young Noah grew up in this environment of privilege
and responsibility. He was educated by his Aunt, the village's first
school teacher, and grew to be involved in the family's business
enterprises. He attended college in Chicago and excelled in his studies
there. In 1854, at age 23, Noah Ferry took over the reins of the
family's White River Township Sawmill. Soon Noah was a prominent member
of the township and became a leading citizen and most eligible bachelor.
He was responsible for building the first schoolhouse in the township in
The census records of 1860 show 28-year old Noah
Ferry living in a boarding house with 32 other tenants, mostly millhands
working for his White River Sawmill. Records also indicate Ferry's land
holdings had an estimated worth of $22,000.00 and his personal property
was valued at $10,000.00. By 1860 his total worth made him the
wealthiest of the township's 359 residents. [1] To many
people in his community Noah Ferry was well-respected and well-liked.
Upon his death in 1863 "The Grand Haven Union" printed in his obituary,
"Self-reliant, manly and generous, kind, sympathizing, wholly above a
mean thing, he unconsciously won an almost unlimited control over those
around him and in his employ." Noah Ferry was a leader in his community.
He was a fair and decent employer who always looked out for his
employees. These qualities, along with his experience supervising large
groups of men, would be put to the test in warfare.
In 1861, as war came to the country, Ferry attempted
to enlist in the 3rd Michigan Cavalry. The 3rd was organizing in Grand
Rapids so Ferry made the trip only to find that the position he expected
to fill had already been taken. Discouraged, he returned to White River
and turned his attention once more to his business. Ferry worked very
hard, often putting in long hours to make his sawmill and other
enterprises successful during the first year of the war.
Early in 1862, a year after he returned home from his
first attempt to enlist, Ferry and other men in his employ agreed to
serve the state if they could enlist as a company and if Noah Ferry
would lead them as their Captain. Such was the admiration of Ferry as a
leader, one veteran of the company recalled in 1925 of the enlistment
the response was almost immediate. Engineers and millmen left their
work; rivermen cast aside their peevies; choppers came in from the
woods; and sailors swarmed over the sides of their vessels to join up
with Noah Ferry." [2] Within a day, 102 men enlisted in
"The White River Guard," also known by many as the "White River Tigers."
[3] The men then elected Noah Ferry as their Company
Commander. Ferry encouraged each man to transfer property and get their
estates in order, including making out wills, before they left White
River for the theater of war.
The White River Guard was mustered into United States
Service as Company F, 5th Michigan Volunteer Cavalry in August of 1862
in Detroit, Michigan. Just before the regiment left for Washington, D.C.
in December, Noah Ferry was promoted to Major of the Regiment. The
Detroit Free Press called Ferry, "A man of real, genuine merit."
After arriving in Washington in January 1863, the 5th Michigan Cavalry
settled in to a humdrum routine of camping and drilling on East Capitol
Hill. "If I go to war, I want to fight. If I go to play, I want to
play," a frustrated Ferry wrote his brother at that time.
Soon the regiment moved South and met with the rest
of the regiments that would make up the brigade. Upon arriving near
Fairfax Courthouse, where the 5th Michigan was to help guard the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad, the Michigan Brigade was formed. The Michigan
Cavalry Brigade consisted of the older 1st Michigan Cavalry (1861), the
6th Michigan (the 5th's sister regiment having formed at the same time
in Grand Rapids), Colonel Freeman Norvell's 5th Michigan, and the
newest regiment the 7th Michigan, having just organized on January 27,
1863, in Grand Rapids. The next few weeks became routine for the 5th
Michigan and the rest of the brigade. Long periods of inaction, cold
weather, and camp life were making Noah Ferry impatient. Only an
occasional patrol or raid into Northern Virginia broke the boredom and
routine. In a letter to a friend back in Grand Haven, dated February 18,
1863, Ferry wrote of one patrol:
We left Washington in mud; I, in perfect
astonishment that an expedition should be ordered out into the sacred soil
after such weather, thinking nothing else than that we should have to
swim most of the way...it (mud) becomes a clog to the movements of an
army when hid from view in a cask of flesh and blood, tastefully wrapped
up in bluejacket and brass buttons. Excuse this rambling letter. It is a
good deal like meneeds trimming.
Major Noah Ferry soon tired and became pessimistic
about army life, as seen in his letters. One event early in February
1863 would be of some importance to Ferry, especially in the months to
come. The 5th Michigan was only partially equipped by the time they left
for Washington, but that winter the regiment was issued 500 Spencer
seven-shot repeating rifles.
The original Colonel of the Regiment, and later
Michigan Brigade Commander, Joseph Copeland years later claimed credit
for outfitting the Regiment with these expensive weapons, "After much
personal effort and expense," he wrote. Two companies of the 6th
Michigan Cavalry also received the Spencer rifle in February. It seems
that the 5th and 6th Michigan were unique, since records show most men
of the Brigade were armed with the breech-loading .54 caliber Burnside
carbine, along with the standard .44 caliber Colt Army Revolver and the
Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber. It was not until early 1864 that the
entire Michigan Cavalry Brigade was armed with the lighter and shorter
Spencer carbine, a weapon much more suited to cavalry use.
Armed with the Spencer rifle, the 5th Michigan
possessed awesome fire power that winter and spring of 1863, so they
were given much of the scouting and patrol duties assigned to their
sector. Much of this work was routine, and boredom and frustration were
rampant in the regiment. The 5th Michigan was experiencing problems with
morale. In infrequent encounters with Confederate horsemen, the Union
cavalry was for the most part ineffective. Southern guerrilla leader,
John Mosby, started this humiliation of the Union Army by raiding supply
bases, disrupting communications, and even capturing a sleeping Union
general in his bed. Noah Ferry was beginning to be bothered by what he
considered to be the incompetence shown by the Army and its leaders. In
a letter to a brother in late February 1863, Ferry writes:
"I feel ashamed to write so much in the spirit of
complaint and criticism of the management of the affairs around me, but
one sees enough here to take all the patriotism out of him."
Finally, in early March, all of the pent up emotions
felt by Ferry, all of the frustrations of months of mismanagement, came
to the surface in a dramatic fashion. This incident provoked Ferry to
action and his actions speak to the character of the man. During a
patrol through Ashby's Gap, Virginia, 50 miles west of Washington, D.C.,
Ferry risked his career and reputation and showed what kind of leader he
was when he relieved his drunken, obstinate Colonel from command and
salvaged a mismanaged operation deep in enemy territory. In a letter
between his brothers, Edward and William, dated March 16, 1863, the
incident is referenced. Edward writes:
"I've a letter from Noah last night. He is well and
seems to like the life (army), though he flies off considerably at
drunken and incompetent officers and thinks the long inaction is
In a subsequent letter to his brother Edward, Noah
told how the 1,500-man column of cavalry was forced by its Colonel to
make frequent stops along the march to search houses, stores, and barns
for alcohol. At one time the column actually halted to allow the Colonel
to "rest" in a bed in one of the farm houses! The Colonel's obsession
with alcohol rendered it impossible for the column to execute its
mission. Ferry decided to take action. In his letter to Edward, Noah
After vainly urging Lieutenant Colonel and First
Major to take command, I told them all I asked was that they should
stand out of my way and I would take the responsibility. They assented;
the captains all said they would stand by me. I then faced the column
about, galloped back, turned the trains around and took an ambulance and
went to where the Colonel lay asleepor rather dead drunk
Ferry continues. . .
I took two men and was carrying him out to the
ambulance when they stumbled and he roused up. Then he resisted and
attempted to use authority. T'was pretty hard to compel men to defy an
officer they had been taught to obey. So I took him myself and told him I
should force him to go, if he did not willingly. We had a hot time for a
little while, but I was determined and firm. He then begged to be
permitted to go back to the room, put on his boots and ride. I told him
he was in no state to ride a horse, but he insisted he could. I
reluctantly consented.
The column was heading off course and going through
Ashby's Gap, which was unreconnoitered, and possibly controlled by John
Mosby's guerrillas. If the command continued forward disaster could be
waiting. Ferry insisted the drunken Colonel be put in the ambulance and
the column turned around, but the Colonel mounted his horse and
proceeded to guide the column forward toward Ashby's Gap! Ferry explains
the heated conversation that happened next:
"I said to him, 'Colonel, where are you going with
these men?'"
"Though the gap and down the Manassas Gap on the
otherside. Go back and tell Lt. Colonel Gould to come on with the
"No sir, the Lt. Colonel will not come."
"Why not?"
"Because the column is going the other way. Give the
command to halt."
The Colonel did not halt the men, so Ferry started
for the head of the column and waved out the command "halt." The column
froze in indecision:
"The men were glad to obey me. (But) as I rode up one
side (of the column) he (the Colonel) rode up the other, and I asked
him to order them to return. He refused."
Again the column froze. Disgusted and excited Ferry
took action:
I placed my pistol at the ear of the Lieutenant
at the head of the column and again ordered them to move. I should have
shot him had he not started. Slowly the column swung around and off they
went, leaving the Colonel and I glaring at each other.
Noah Ferry won this war of wills. Colonel Freeman
Norvell quietly resigned after Ferry agreed to drop charges against him.
Quickly Noah Ferry was offered the Colonelcy of the 5th Michigan which
he just as quickly turned down.
It was not until three months later that the regiment
was finally tested in its first major skirmishes with the enemy. In a
series of fights around the small hamlet of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in
June 1863 the Michigan Cavalry made a good showing. In search of Lee's
Army, the Michigan Brigade would be among the first Union forces to ride
into Pennsylvania, arriving at Littlestown on June 29. [4] Ferry wrote his brother, "Our reception through this
country is generally joyful. There are some secesh, but they only dare
to look sour." The next three days Ferry and the 5th would be in
constant contact with the enemy in running battles north and east of
Gettysburg. "Yesterday the Fifth had their first smell of battle near
Littlestown and behaved finely. Our loss was one killed, while fifteen
dead rebels lay in front of our line. . .We are off again and I must
close without finishing." These were to be the last words Noah Ferry
would write.
Around 9:00 A.M. the Michigan Cavalry Brigade, under
the command of 23-year old West Pointer, Brigadier General George A.
Custer, reached the extreme right of the Union line of battle. Sent out
to protect the flanks of the Army as well as guarding the approaches to
town, the Michigan Cavalry Brigade numbered some 2,000 troopers.
"(At) 9 o'clock A.M. (we) reached the extreme right
of our army and are in line of battle. Our artillery has already
commenced operations upon the enemy."
Diary of George G. Brigs, Adjutant, 7th
Michigan Cavalry, Gettysburg, July 3, 1863
Around 10:00 A.M. the Confederate cavalry under the
command of General J.E.B. Stuart arrived on Cress Ridge, three miles
east of Gettysburg. The General quickly placed his artillery in advance
on Cress Ridge and they had a short artillery duel with Union artillery
batteries to the southeast. General Stuart then sent forward 250 or so
dismounted cavalrymen from Ferguson's (Jenkin's) Brigade to occupy the
Rummel Barn in their front. In response to the Confederate advance,
Union General David M. Gregg had the men of Colonel John McIntosh's
Cavalry Brigade advance toward the Rummel Farm. The cavalrymen of the
1st New Jersey soon came under fierce fire and were slowly driven back.
Confederate cavalry was again on the advance. Historian Edward G.
Longacre writes:
With an advanced line of New Jersey troopers
imperiled, newly-promoted Brigadier General George Armstrong Custer
tried to rescue them by sending forward a heavy skirmish line under
Major Noah Ferry of the Fifth Michigan. [5]
Major Luther S. Trowbridge, 6th Michigan Cavalry
wrote about the action:
Our regiment was dismounted to fight on foot,
Major Ferry taking the left with his battalion and I the right with
mine. We moved forward against the enemy's skirmishers and I can assure
you the bullets flew as thick as hail around us.
Majors Ferry and Trowbridge each led between 150 and
200 dismounted cavalrymen forward and were originally successful in
driving the Confederates in front of them. Each man of the 5th and two
companies of the 6th that went forward bore Spencer repeating rifles.
It was not a coincidence then that the 5th and two companies of the 6th
were sent out as dismounted skirmishers. The Spencer was a devastating
weapon, but it had an appetite for ammunition. The 5th and 6th were
steadily pressing forward until the rapid fire that was moments ago so
devastating to the Confederate line, began to slacken. The troopers were
emptying their cartridge pouches, and the extra ammunition was back
across the open fields near their horses. At that moment the
Confederates advanced; both mounted charges and dismounted men were
thrown at the 5th and 6th. The blue line broke. Edward Longacre
describes the confusion:
"The men of the 34th Virginia Battalion saw the
newcomers moving dismounted across open fields and poured a heavy fire
into the Wolverines. Many of Ferry's men fell, others broke and fled."
Most witnesses and historians agree on what happened
next. Longacre continues; "Rally boys, Rally for the fence, shouted
their Major, seconds before a rebel bullet drilled him through his red
head." As Noah Ferry stood his ground trying to rally his men, death
found him. His loss affected both officers and men in the Regiment,
dampening their joy in victory against Stuart's "undefeatable" cavalry.
"Our best Major was killed on the third. He was Ferry," wrote Private
Victor E. Compte, 5th Michigan Cavalry in a letter home a week after the
battle. "My loss in killed and wounded was very severe," Colonel Russell
A. Alger recollected in a letter to a friend in 1880. "Major Ferry, who
was cheering his battalion to hold its ground, was instantly killed. His
death cast a deep gloom upon the whole Brigade. He was a gallant
soldier, an exemplary man and his loss was a great blow."
Custer's official report noted the loss of "...the
brave and chivalric Major N. H. Ferry."
It was not until the next day that Colonel Russell
Alger ordered a detail to recover Noah Ferry's body from the field.
"During the night rebel prowlers stole their way and pillaged
everything they wanted and could find from the dead," recalled Private
Compte. "They stripped the Major's body of everything but his coat, and
cut from this all the buttons and shoulder stripes."
Because of the hurried pursuit of the Confederate
cavalry after the Battle of Gettysburg, Noah Ferry's comrades had only
time to bury him beneath a tree at the field headquarters. Two weeks
later his father and younger brother had the body disinterred and
accompanied it home.
"Going home always seems to be longed for, but the
death of dear Noah makes me feel as if I cannot go home. . .we (family)
are broken up and trying to put the pieces together again would only
show more plainly how much is lost," wrote his eldest brother William to
his wife in August 1863. Noah Henry Ferry was laid to rest July 18,
1863, in the Lake Forest Cemetery in Grand Haven, Michigan. His memory
will live on where he fell, for he has a headstone in the National
Soldiers Cemetery at Gettysburg. The stone is the foremost stone in the
Michigan section, but the grave is surely empty.
Many of Noah Ferry's comrades went on to achieve
lasting fame due to their accomplishments. Colonel Russell Alger of the
5th would later rise in the Republican Party to become Governor of the
State of Michigan and later the Secretary of War under another Civil War
veteran, William McKinley. A young 23-year old Brigadier General would
eventually lead a division of cavalry. George A. Custer would be a
household name years later due in fact to the circumstances of his death
at the hands of the Indians in 1876. Still other comrades would write
accounts and publish books on the heroic deeds of the Michigan Brigade.
In these accounts they tell the story of men and war. So often the
stories tell of the bravery and gallantry of the well-known and forget
the men of valor whose deeds are "unsung" to many. Men like Noah Ferry
who was an inspiration to his men, whether on the battlefield or in
civilian pursuits. Noah Ferry gave his life in service to those men and
became one of the unsung heroes of the battle that raged at
1st Lieutenant, Battery M,
2nd United States Artillery
So often history fails to record or promptly
acknowledge truly heroic accomplishments. The men and women responsible
for these acts of heroism are often ignored and their accomplishments
hidden. This is particularly true in regard to men in battle. Men who
perform tremendous feats of courage and bravery are often slighted in
the history books; lost in the shuffle of the bigger picture. Alexander
C. Pennington, Jr. is such a man. His accomplishments on July 3, 1863,
during the cavalry clash changed the course of the fight and contributed
greatly to the Union victory.
Alexander C. Pennington, Jr. was born January 8,
1838, in Newark, New Jersey. His father, A.C. Pennington was a state
officer who in 1826 was admitted to the United States Military Academy
at West Point, New York. However, academy life did not suit the elder
Alexander and he resigned after a year. Alexander Pennington, Sr. would
have graduated from the Academy in 1830 had he stayed. It is ironic that
Alexander Pennington, Sr., during his short stint at West Point probably
knew or had crossed paths with another young cadet from the class of
1829, Robert E. Lee. In 1838 he named his second son A.C. Pennington,
Jr. As the boy grew, Alexander, Sr. instilled in his young son the value
of service; service to family, to community, and to country. Never a
gifted student, young Alexander, Jr. did apply himself enough
towith his father's helpsecure an appointment to West Point
in 1855 at the age of 17. Alexander did not excel in his studies at
West Point, but he was a popular cadet and made friends easily. It was
during his second year that Pennington would be introduced to a young,
high-spirited plebe from Ohio named George Armstrong Custer. The two
became friends. This was the first step that would take the two West
Pointers down many a path together in the future. While at West Point,
Pennington was to meet his future wife. Pennington befriended West Point
Professor Reverend John W. French and met French's youngest daughter. A
few years later they were to many. Morris Schaff, author of The
Spirit of Old West Point observed,
. . .his (Professor French) family consisted of
two or three most beautiful daughters; one of them to be the wife of
Lieutenant Greble, already mentioned, and the other became the wife of
General Pennington, whose name is connected with so many fields.
[7] Although Pennington's academic record cannot be
considered outstanding he did apply himself enough to graduate 18 in a
class of 40. Among his classmates in that class of 1860 were future
Generals James H. Wilson, Stephen D. Ramseur, Wesley Merritt, and Horace
Upon graduation Alexander Pennington was breveted
Second Lieutenant and assigned to battery A of the 2nd U.S. Artillery at
Fort Pickens in Florida. Soon after arriving at Pickens, Pennington
obtained command experience by becoming Acting Commanding officer of
Battery M. He was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant, 2nd U.S. Artillery Battery
A, May 14, 1861. By now the clouds of war were thickening around the
capital, and a confused quickened pace had taken over the city. Battery
M, 2nd U.S. Artillery had been recently transferred to the heart of the
war from Texas, via Fort Pickens and arrived in Washington, D.C.
mid-June 1861. Pennington was assigned to its command.
On July 14 the men of Battery M arrived in Washington
and three days later on July 17 the guns and limbers arrived. Alexander
Pennington joined his new command. Henry Hunt, later to be Chief of
Artillery for the Army of the Potomac stated that "Necessary repairs and
refitting were at once commenced, ammunition and other stores drawn and
packed, horses procured, and on Friday, the 19th, (1861) we marched.."
The Confederate Army was on the move also, heading
north to a little railroad junction called Manassas. This little
crossroads would soon be the first big test for both armies. Battery M
arrived near Blackburn's Ford on July 20 and commenced shoeing horses
and setting up lunettes and breastworks.
On July 21, the day the battle began, Alexander
Pennington and Battery M held the extreme left of the Union line. Their
accomplishments that day were stated by Henry Hunt in his official
The guns kept up a desultory fire during the day,
producing little or no effect, as there was no definite object, except
when the enemy's moving columns came from time to time within our
This was soon to end. About 4:30 P.M., Confederate
infantry under General D.R. Jones, commanding approximately 3000-5000
men, attempted a flank movement around the Union Left. Success of this
movement so late in the day could have spelled disaster for the Union
Army. As the Confederates closed to within 300 yards, the Union
batteries raked the field with canister fire in what Hunt later called
"...the most rapid, well-sustained, and destructive fire..." he had
ever seen. Nearly alone and unaided the batteries of the 2nd U.S.
Artillery repulsed the Confederate attack and saved the Union left flank
from a disaster.
Throughout 1862 Lieutenant Pennington was acting
commanding officer of Battery M, although official confirmation from the
War Department did not come through until 1864! This is easy to
understand given the kinds of confusion which can afflict a large
bureaucracy in time of crisis. Battery M remained fairly inactive
throughout the Seven Days Campaign up to the Battle of Antietam. On
September 17, 1862, in support of General E.V. Sumner's 2nd Corps near
what would be called "Bloody Lane," Battery M...opened on the enemy
with great effect, having direct fire in front and an enfilading fire in
front of Sumner's Corps on the right..." [9] General
George McClellan was later to praise the work of Union artillery on what
was to be the "bloodiest day of the war."
In October 1862, the "commanding officer," not
Pennington by name, was instructed by the War Department to drop Lt.
Pennington from the strength of the company. This action was to
"officially" place Pennington back with Battery A, his original battery in
1861. One can only imagine the confusion this meant to the men of
Battery M, let alone Pennington himself.
Early in 1863, Pennington went on extended leave
which may have confused the command situation even more. On January 25,
1863, he requested twenty days leave for the purpose of visiting New
York City on private business. Pennington eventually extended his leave
to a total of two and a half months. The leave must have been granted
immediately, as the January 31 battery records show Battery M in command
of Lieutenant Robert Chapin. [10]
Alexander Pennington returned to duty the last of
April and again assumed the command of Battery M. The question of
official command, however, did not go away simply because he had
returned to claim the command. Throughout 1863 until March of 1864
Pennington made formal applications to the War Department for Command of
Battery M. Finally in March 1864, Henry Hunt, Chief of Artillery
approved the application stating: "...no man has established higher
claim to the command..." Hunt noted in his endorsement that Battery M's
reputation was "...second to that of no other Battery in this Army and
much credit for that high standing is due to the leadership of (Bvt.)
Captain Pennington..." [11] From April through May of
1863 Battery M was assigned as "Horse Artillery" and participated at
Chancellorsville under the command of Cavalry Colonel Alfred Duffie.
In June of 1863 the Confederate High Command decided
to take the war to northern soil and the Gettysburg Campaign had
started. Early in the campaign at the Cavalry Fight at Culpepper, or
Brandy Station, Battery M and Alexander Pennington showed their coolness
under pressure, exchanging fire with General J.E.B. Stuart's horse
artillery. General Pleasanton, Chief of Union Cavalry was impressed
"...by the admirable manner in which Lieutenants Pennington and Clarke
managed their guns, forcing them [Confederate Cavalry] to abandon
their line..." [12] Battery M then proceeded north
with the Union Army in pursuit of General Lee's Army of Northern
On June 28, major changes took place in the Army of
the Potomac that would have a lasting impact on Alexander Pennington and
Battery M for the remainder of the War. General George G. Meade replaced
General Joseph Hooker as overall commander of the Army of the Potomac,
and a reorganization of the Army took place. The Cavalry Corps under
command of General Pleasanton reorganized into three divisions and also
named new commanders of each division; the First Division under the
command of General John Buford, the Second Division under General David
Gregg, and the Third Division under the command of General Judson
Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick's Division consisted of Two Brigades under new
commands, Brigadiers Elon Farnsworth and George Armstrong Custer. The
Horse Artillery was also reorganized into Two Battalions and Battery M
was assigned to Kilpatrick's Division, specifically General Custer's
Michigan Brigade. Alexander Pennington and Battery M, 2nd U.S. Artillery
reported to Custer on June 29.
On June 30, Confederate Cavalry, riding hard to meet
up with General Lee's main army, arrived in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
Kilpatrick anticipated their arrival and by mid-day most of the Third
Division was in Hanover, including Custer's Brigade and Battery M. The
Confederate line of battle could be seen on the hills south of town.
Battery M's role in the action at Hanover consisted mainly of a duel
with Confederate Horse Artillery lasting around thirty minutes. It seems
little damage was done to either artillery and Stuart finally withdrew
northeastward, away from Gettysburg, and reached General Lee late in the
evening of July 2. After the action at Hanover was over, Custer's
Brigade entered a fight with Wade Hampton's Confederates at Hunterstown
on July 1. The 6th Michigan Cavalry and Pennington's Battery M bore the
brunt of the fighting. General Kilpatrick stated in his official report,
"...the conduct of the Sixth Michigan Cavalry and Pennington's Battery
is deserving of the highest praise." Wade Hampton's Cavalry was
On July 2, as the battle of Gettysburg raged into its
second day, Custer's brigade moved closer to the fight. Custer had
received orders to move to the far left of the Union Line of battle,
rejoining Kilpatrick's Third Division. The Brigade, with Battery M in
tow, moved on toward the left of the line. Because of the shifting
movements of the cavalry units and perceived Confederate threats Custer
found himself temporarily attached to General Gregg's Second Division
who were guarding the roads into Gettysburg from the east. Gregg's
Division held the Union far right about three miles east of Gettysburg
on the Hanover Road. Custer deployed his brigade as to guard the
intersection of the Low Dutch and Hanover Roads. Battery M was placed in
two sections on either side of the Hanover Road near the Spangler House.
At about 12:00 Confederates Horse Batteries opened on Custer's Brigade
from Cress Ridge. The Brigade, in the process of vacating the position
due to new orders, became enveloped with artillery fire. Griffin's
Confederate Battery was doing a lot of damage from about a mile away.
Custer ordered Pennington to "...do something about that fire."
Pennington ordered his men to silence Griffin's Battery. Major James H.
Kidd, 6th Michigan Cavalry wrote about the incident a few years
Amazing marksmanship was shown by Pennington's
Battery and such accurate firing was never seen on any other field.
Pennington replied with astonishing effect for every shot hit the mark
and the opposing artillerists were unable to silence a single Union
Kidd went on to say:
...Pennington had supreme accuracy standing
beside his second gun and directing a shot which struck a Rebel gun
squarely on the muzzle, rupturing the barrel, and dismounting it... The
distance was three-fourths of a mile... his next shot struck a wheel
hub, smashed the gun and killed the crew. The remainder of the battery
then retired. [13]
After effectively silencing Griffen's Battery,
Pennington kept up sporadic firing throughout the early afternoon.
By around 2:00 P.M. Confederate dismounted Cavalry
occupied the Rummel Barn, and General Gregg sent orders for Union
dismounted Cavalry to dislodge them. Colonel John McIntosh sent the 1st
New Jersey dismounted into action. Soon the men of McIntosh's Brigade
were running low on ammunition and were forced to pull back. Custer
ordered up the 5th Michigan Cavalry dismounted to replace McIntosh's
men. Armed with Spencer Repeating Rifles the 5th soon exhausted their
ammunition and were dispatched by a mounted charge of Confederate
cavalry. To counter the Confederate charge and save the 5th, Custer
ordered the 7th Michigan Cavalry to charge to meet the advancing
Confederates. Pennington's Battery provided the preliminaries to the
charge. The Battery fired effectively enough to break up advancing
dismounted cavalry. The charge of the 7th Michigan almost met with
disaster when men of John Chambliss's Confederates fired volley after
volley at the 7th from behind a stone fence, forcing Custer to retreat
in full. Mounted Confederate regiments were now in pursuit of Custer's
men. Pennington's Battery opened up on the Confederate pursuers and
allowed the 7th to escape without losing even more men. Round after
round of case shot, then canister, was fired in succession, proving too
much for Confederate horsemen. General Gregg wrote in his official
The Batteries commanded by Captain A.M. Randol and
Lieut. A.C.M. Pennington, Jr. rendered most effective service. The fire
of the artillery during this engagement was the most accurate that I
have ever seen.
In late afternoon around 4:00 General Stuart launched
a final mounted charge to crush Union resistance. Nearly 2,000 troops
with sabre and pistol drawn started first at a walk, then a trot, then a
gallop straight for the Union positions. Once again Pennington's Battery
let loose a terrific storm of shot and shell, tearing whole ranks apart
and leaving large gaps in the Confederate lines, thinning them enough
for General Custer and the men of the 1st Michigan Cavalry along with
flank support to meet and stop the enemy's advance. Pennington's Battery
even fired over the heads of Custer's troopers right up to the last
minute, when horseman met horseman. Alexander Pennington continued
firing on Stuart's men who were now in the act of pulling back. Battery
M set their sights on Cress Ridge and swept the ground in their front
with shot and shell. Custer, Gregg, and Pleasanton all commended
Pennington and his battery for contributing to the victory east of
The day after their outstanding performance on the
East Cavalry battlefield at Gettysburg, Custer's Brigade intercepted
part of the Confederate supply train at South Mountain and once again
Pennington's Battery helped save the day. Custer wrote: "Pennington,
always ready, always willing, quickly came into position and returned
the enemy's fire." [14] In any event, this quick
action by Battery M allowed Union troops to capture a sizable portion of
the supply train and several hundred prisoners of war. For his actions
at Brandy Station and Gettysburg, Alexander Pennington received a brevet
promotion to Captain early in 1864. Like many of his fellow officers,
Pennington found promotion slow in the regular U.S. Artillery, even in
wartime, and he opted for a position as Commander of the 3rd New Jersey
Cavalry. He was as inspirational as a cavalry leader as he was a
commander of an artillery battery, and soon won another promotion to
command a cavalry brigade in General G.A. Custer's new division. The
bond between the two men formed at West Point was to continue.
Commanding his brigade, Pennington won another brevet
promotion at Cedar Creek in October of 1864. Pennington continued
inspiring men during the battle of Five Forks and the Appomattox
Campaign. He was with Custer to the end of the war and was at his side
when the news of the surrender of Lee's Army reached the field. On March
13, 1865, Alexander Pennington was brevetted Brigadier General of U.S.
Volunteers to go with his brevet Colonel of the Regulars. With the war
at an end General Pennington was mustered out of U.S. Service with his
brigade on August 1, 1865. Pennington elected to remain in the U.S.
Army even though his lineal rank was only a Captain. From 1865 to 1881
Captain, then later Colonel, Pennington commanded his beloved Battery M,
2nd U.S. Artillery, serving in various posts form Florida to California.
In 1898 the War with Spain called the sixty-year old Pennington back to
battle. He served in Cuba as Brigadier General of Volunteers. After the
Spanish-American War Alexander Pennington retired with the permanent
rank of Brigadier General, U.S. Army. On November 17, 1917, at the age
of seventy-nine, the old General passed away in New York City. Brigadier
General Alexander C.M. Pennington was buried with full military honors
at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Proper recognition for the contributions made by the
"Horse Artillery" in the Union victory at East Cavalry Field have been
slow in coming. Historians have often down-played or completely ignored
the role men like Alexander Pennington played in the battle. East
Cavalry Field remains today as much a monument to the heroic deeds of
the artillery as it does to the more highly recognized cavalry.
Alexander Pennington and the men that served his guns deserve to be
recognized among the Unsung Heroes on East Cavalry Battlefield.
Captain, Company, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry
It is ironic that men who at times perform heroic
deeds are recognized not for what they were expected to do, and a little
more, but rather by doing what they were not supposed to do at all.
There are times that men of action often disobey an order, neglect a
written request, or refuse a command and do what their head and heart
tell them to do. By doing so these men gamble their reputations, not to
mention their lives, on what they believe to be the correct action to be
taken at the time. Without regard to the perils facing them, these men
take that gamble and become heroes in the eyes of others. Such a man was
William E. Miller.
William E. Miller was born February 5, 1836, the son of
Andrew and Elenora Miller, in West Hill, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania. Andrew Miller was a merchant but soon found farming was
more to his liking. Farming was not as profitable and the Miller family
was growing. William was the oldest of six children. His father,
Andrew, was an invalid, so William was to take on the responsibility of
running the farm. Tending to the farm and household matters left young
William with little time for school. He received but a limited common
school education. According to family records, William showed an
interest in the military, joining at age sixteen a company in the "Horse
Militia," know as the "Big Spring Adamantine Guards." The next ten years
or so would be routine for William, managing the family farm, except for
his October 23, 1856, marriage to his childhood sweetheart Elizabeth
"Betsy" Ann Hocker and the birth of his first child, Caroline, followed
by another daughter, Lizzie, in 1859. Outside of his weekly drills with
the horse militia William was pretty much settled down. Tragedy struck
when Betsy died suddenly in 1859 at age twenty-four of typhoid. Then
came the war.
In 1861 the "Big Spring Adamantic Guards" was among
the first militia unit to tender their services to then Governor Andrew
Curtin. Cavalry was not included in the three month enlistment call for
troops, so the service of the "Guards" was not accepted until the later
call for three-year enlistments was made. William Miller at age
twenty-five was enlisted into United States Service on August 8, 1861,
with the "Guards" being designated Company H, 3rd Pennsylvania Volunteer
Cavalry on August 17. [15] Miller was mustered into
military service as a Second Lieutenant, due in part to his long service
in the militia. According to regimental records, Miller was one of the
few officers that still held their commissions after the rigid cavalry
training school at Camp Marcey, near Washington, D.C., during the winter
of 1861-62.
Army life kept William busy. Still hurting after his
wife's death some two-and-a-half-years before, Miller received a letter
from his parents-in-law telling him his youngest daughter, Lizzie, who
had been living with the two of them, had been sick and died. In April
1862, a month after his daughter's death, Miller accompanied the
regiment to Fortress Monroe. The 3rd Pennsylvania was to participate in
the Peninsula Campaign. The 3rd Pennsylvania drew its baptism under fire
in skirmishes around Yorktown, Virginia. Leaving Yorktown the 3rd
Pennsylvania was ordered to Williamsburg, Virginia, and reported to
General Samuel Heintzelman. The 3rd was placed on Heintzelman's left.
During the night, Lieutenant Miller was summoned to General
Heintzelman's Headquarters. Miller was to deliver an important dispatch
to General George McClellan. The Official Records include the
order which went along with the dispatch.
This dispatch is for Gen. McClellan. You may find
him at Yorktown, or you may find him on the road between this and
Yorktown, or you may find him anywhere along the line of this Army but
you must find him, and a reply must be at this headquarters before
daylight tomorrow
Throughout the rainy darkness, William Miller set out
to find General McClellan. He finally delivered the dispatch and in
doing so received congratulations from both General McClellan and
General Heintzelman on a job well done. The Peninsula Campaign was hard
on the 3rd Pennsylvania despite turning in a fine performance. Horses
were played out, ammunition stores low, supplies in general were short.
The 3rd was sent north to re-supply.
In September 1862, the 3rd Pennsylvania was to
participate in the defense of Maryland following General Lee's invasion.
On September 16, 1862, the Regiment helped lead General Joseph Hooker's
Corps across Antietam Creek. Company H was assigned directly to General
Hooker's Headquarters. Late in the afternoon of September 17, at a most
critical period in the Battle of Antietam, William Miller turned in
another outstanding job. Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
was making a final push toward Union lines when a brigade from his
Corps charged a Union gun battery which had opened fire on the advancing
Confederates. Passing behind the battery Lieutenant William Miller rode
to the aid of the battery and helped in saving the guns from a superior
force of Confederates. [16] For his gallantry in
action on September 17, Lieutenant Miller was promoted over all the
First Lieutenants in the Regiment to Captain. Captain William Miller
was now in charge of Company H as its Company Commander.
Throughout the winter of 1862-63 the 3rd Pennsylvania
was stationed along the Rappahannock, and the war slowed to a crawl.
William Miller was finally reimbursed by the War Department for a horse
and saddle he had purchased privately on June 30, but there was not much
excitement around camp. Company H went out on a couple scouting missions
but mainly the regiment stayed in camp until the 29th of April, when the
weather allowed things to be more exciting. William Miller and the 3rd
Pennsylvania participated in all the cavalry skirmishes and battles at
the start of the Gettysburg Campaign. They had a conspicuous role in the
Battles of Brandy Station, Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville. [17] On July 2, 1863, the 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry arrived
upon the fields around Gettysburg. They had been heavily engaged in
skirmishes and running clashes with General Stuart's "Invincables" as
recently as July 1. The second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, the 3rd
Pennsylvania took up position on the Union right flank, between the York
and Bonnaughtown (Hanover) Roads and fought skirmishes with Confederate
cavalry outside Hunterstown that day.
On the morning of July 3, after a brush with
Confederate infantry the night before, the 3rd Pennsylvania was again on
the move. William Miller himself described where the regiment was going
and how it was to be deployed:
Between 9 and 10 o'clock on the morning of the 3rd
"to horse" was sounded and we were in the saddle again. Retracing our
steps, we resumed our position on the right, but with a more extended
line. Irvin Gregg [Brigade] connected with the right of the infantry
line near Wolf Hill and stretched his line nearly to the Hanover Road,
while McIntosh [Brigade of which the 3rd Pennsylvania was a member]
moved to and halted at the crossing of the Low Dutch and Hanover Roads.
Custer's Brigade occupied the ground to the right and front of
McIntosh. [18]
By 10:00 General J.E.B. Stuart's Confederate Cavalry
was commanding Cress Ridge, about a mile in the 3rd Pennsylvania's front
and left. Around 12:00 artillery fire from Confederate batteries opened
up on Custer's and McIntosh's Brigades, and dismounted Confederate
Cavalry were sent forward to occupy the Rummel Barn in their front.
William Miller continues his narrative
About 2 o'clock [Colonel] McIntosh, who well
understood Stuart's tactics and had correctly discerned his position,
dismounted the First New Jersey and moved it forward under Major
Beaumont in the direction of Rummel's. [19]
Soon the skirmishing between the two opponents became
heavy and the 1st New Jersey was running out of ammunition. Colonel
McIntosh sent part of the 3rd Pennsylvania including William Miller's
Company H to occupy the right flank near the Lott Farm and the remainder
to the aid of the 1st New Jersey. Sharp skirmishing was taking place and
both 1st New Jersey and their relief were being pushed back. General
Custer sent the dismounted 5th Michigan Cavalry to their aid.
Eventually the line of the 5th Michigan was driven in and Custer mounted up
the 7th Michigan and charged the advancing Confederates. The men of
Company H, 3rd Pennsylvania held the right flank in the Lott Woods,
William Miller observing the confusion of battle. Custer's 7th Michigan
was repulsed after their charge and for nearly an hour there was a lull
in the fighting, only sporadic small arms fire joined occasionally by
the roar of the artillery.
Around 4:00 General Stuart assembled nearly 2,000
troopers from Generals Wade Hampton's and Fitzhugh Lee's Brigades in
anticipation to push aside the stubborn Union Cavalry once and for all.
Stuart's plan was simple; a mounted charge on Union lines. The weight of
the attack should shatter the Union force in his front. General Hampton
began his advance, first a trot, then at a cantor toward the Union
positions about three-quarters of a mile in his front. Union Artillery
opened on the advancing columns, firing both single and double canister
into the confederate horsemen. Closing up ranks Hampton and Lee's men
continued forward. Upon seeing that the only way to stop this threat was
to stop it head on with a counterattack, General Custer rushed up to the
1st Michigan Cavalry Regiment and announced that he would be sending
them against the quickly advancing Confederates, although they would be
outnumbered almost three to one. With Custer in the lead, the Michigan
Troopers set out at a trot and then a gallop, and then suddenly and
violently the two opposing columns met head on. William Miller described
the collision:
The sound was like the falling of timber, so
sudden and violent that many of the horses were turned end over end and
crushed their riders be neath them. The clashing of sabers, the firing
of pistols, the demands for surrender and the cries of the combatants
now filled the air. [20]
Even though the 1st Michigan stopped the Confederate
advance and was cutting and slashing their way through the gray columns,
General David Gregg realized that the 1st Michigan needed some help. He
quickly ordered in McIntosh's Brigade, including some elements of the
3rd Pennsylvania to hit the Confederate right. Scattered portions of the
1st New Jersey, 5th, 6th, and 7th Michigan also entered the fray on the
right. In the melee of saber slashing and pistol firing at point blank,
the outcome of the battle seemed in doubt. No side seemed to be gaining
the upperhand. Then on the Confederate left flank, Captain Hampton S.
Thomas led a New Jersey squadron into the fight. [21]
As the battle raged around him and he was still under
orders to remain on the right flank in the Lott Woods, William Miller
decided that the time for action was upon him. Miller figured that
Captain Thomas needed support and that staying put in the woods might
put in peril the positive outcome of the fight. Miller turned to Lt.
William Brooke-Rowle, his adjutant, and stated,
I have been ordered to hold this position, but, if
you will back me up in case I am court-martialed for disobedience, I
will order a charge. [22]
Lt. Brooke-Rowle gave his pledge of support, Miller
mounted the few remaining men of his squadron and charged. Almost from
the start of the charge the path of William Miller and his men was
blocked by Confederate horsemen. Historian Edward G. Longacre described
the charge:
In one mighty thrust they [Miller and Squadron]
rode through...penetrating about two-thirds of the way toward the
Confederate rear. Not until they neared the lane of the Rummel Farm,
within range of Breathed's battery were they hemmed in an
Slicing through the Confederate left flank and
dividing the lead of the column from the rear, Miller's timely decision
further confused and demoralized the Confederate attackers. William was
shot through the right arm as he turned his column northward, then east
from which they started. Miller and his command experienced few casualties.
Slowly, fearing their retreat route was in danger (thanks to
William Miller's charge) the Confederates pulled back. The Union
horsemen retired. Small arms firing continued until dark, but the
Confederate threat had been repulsed.
After participating in 37 cavalry engagements,
Captain William E. Miller was mustered out of Federal Service after the
completion of his three-year commitment on August 24, 1864. The War was
over for William Miller, or so he thought. He returned to Cumberland
County and then moved to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he entered the
hardware business. In 1868 he married for the second time. The war
would not go away. Young and old alike wanted Miller to talk about his
war experience. He wrote about the charge at Gettysburg. In 1884 at the
dedication of the cavalry shaft at Gettysburg, General David Gregg
praised William Miller once again by remarking "of course everybody
expects to hear from Captain Miller whose name is so inseparably and
honorably connected with our shaft." With all the recognition and praise
that came William Miller's direction, the United States Congress had
failed to recognize his accomplishments on the fields of the Battle of
Gettysburg. His name was not mentioned in the Official War Department
record of the battle.
Finally in 1896 Congress recognized William Miller
for his heroics on the Cavalry Field of Gettysburg by presenting the
sixty-year old veteran with the Congressional Medal of Honor. As the
years rolled by Miller often reminisced about the war with fellow
Company H veterans and was active in G.A.R. Post 201, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania and the Military Order of the Loyal Legion. William E.
Miller passed away December 10, 1919, just two months shy of his 84th
birthday, content that his place in the history of the Battle of
Gettysburg was secure.
Sometimes heroic deeds go unnoticed for a long time.
Contemporary judgements are often clouded with individual agendas. As
the years go by history tends to judge more fairly than contemporaries,
and the true value of a person's actions are finally noticed, as with
William Miller. This man was willing to disobey a direct order when he
saw clearly what his actions should be; sometimes this is the mark of a
true hero.
We have met three individuals who through their
contributions of bravery, courage, and actions made an important impact
on the outcome of the Cavalry Battle East of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863.
We call them the "unsung heroes" because they are in most cases not
even "footnotes" to the story of the Gettysburg battle.
Heroic deeds are very subjective and hard to define;
subjective to generational definition and values. The heroic deed no
matter its definition, no matter the generation, inspires men and women
to find the good that is in themselves. Men and women who can find the
courage to act in face of danger or adversity become heroes that
transcend generations.
"No man can answer for his courage who has never
been in danger."

She has great difficulty swallowing because of the paralysis. She drools continually. Her tongue lolls to one side, some portion of it always outside her mouth. She has no teeth; they were removed after the stroke to aid her swallowing. She is embarrassed by her appearance and holds a tissue to her lower face, hiding, absorbing the saliva.

She communicates with an occasional grunt, all she can manage vocally, and laboriously writes responses and questions in a large, childish hand on an oversized note pad. Her eyesight is poor. She writes blind, huge looping letters in a long scrawl. I have to ask her to write it again, and once more, frustrated with myself that I cannot read it the first time and must ask a second and a third time. Her mind is active, inquisitive.

Bone marrow was no longer making red or white blood cells, not even platelets. The marrow was only churning out cancer cells. In a process similar to churning butter, his blood was thickening with homogenous, malicious content: cancer. And like churning butter, it was exhausting work.

At the same time, you could see his love. His love for life was front and center. His love for sweetness crystalized on his tongue in the taste of sun-soaked strawberries. His love for satisfaction could be heard in the snapping sound of a puzzle piece set in place. His love for the simple, soothing smells of lavender emanating from a medicine ball was cherished, as was the fact that he could still hold a ball in his hands. He loved life down to the core, as only an eight-year-old can, and he was doing everything he could to stay alive. Death was easy to detect.
It was right under our eyes, sending the simplest of signals. No appetite. Breathing strained. Cold hands and feet, meaning compromised blood flow. Ankles swollen. Standing up was becoming nearly impossible. His body was shutting down.
But it was his temperature that told us the landslide of disease was accelerating and about to swallow us whole. Doctors and nurses clustered outside of his hospital room. The cluster grew.

The murmurs increased. My concern intensified. We had spent enough time at the hospital to know when a situation was escalating. I was not surprised when I was quietly summoned out of the room. As the sliding door closed behind me, I found myself in the center of the humming cluster. Bustling, shuffling chaos encircled me. The attending oncologist, at the center of the group, was serious and quiet. I had quarterbacked nearly two years of his cancer treatment.
I knew every player and every play. He had an all-star team from the start. I fought furiously to get him on a supposedly life-saving immunotherapy trial, in which his own immune cells were reprogrammed to attack and destroy cancer cells. Now, we were waiting and watching, at the edge of our seats and hospital bed, for them to work their magic. CAR Ts for the win! The ball had been fumbled, we were out of plays, and time was up.
There was one person who would be more shocked than me. Choking back tears, I took a deep breath, held onto that gulp of air and went back into the room to sit next to my imminently dying child. What do you say to a dying person? A few weeks earlier, on another Monday afternoon, I was lying in bed with my son. It was back before his body hurt too much to be touched.
Job who long for death that does not come, and search for it like hidden treasure,
Back when I could still curl up in his hospital bed with him. Of course he knew. He knew everything I did was for him. Our beloveds know we love them. We say it. They see it. They know.
So, what more can we say? What words can we give them when there is nothing left but words?

Four miles above Doniphan, June 21, 1863.
General MARMADUKE, Jacksonport:
GENERAL: Scouts returning from 6 miles of Ironton report 6,000 Federals there, nearly all mounted, and they are trying to mount all; 1,000 at Bailey's, 8 miles from Patterson, on the Ironton road; they are cavalry also; 100 at Centreville, in Reynolds County, all lying still, sending out no scouts. It is rumored there that they are preparing to go northwest. They are expecting us to attack them daily.
Captain, Commanding Independent Company of Scouts.
Camp at Russell's Ferry, June 22, 1863.
Major General STERLING PRICE,
Commanding Frontier, at Jacksonport, Ark.:
GENERAL: I have just received a dispatch from Colonel Kitchen, who saw the Saint Louis Republican of the 16th. Lee has invaded Pennsylvania with a force estimated at 90,000. Chambersburg, Pa., and Hagerstown, Md., are in our possession. Lincoln calls for 100,000 militia to repel the invasion. Federals are moving their supplies from Aquia Creek to Alexandria, and have changed their base of operations. A battle is daily expected there. No change in matters at Vicksburg. Rebel privateers are making sad havoc with Federal shipping on the Atlantic. My scouts report but few Federals at Rolla and Ironton. All the regular troops have been sent to Vicksburg. I have given strict orders to all my outposts to allow no one, under any circumstances, to pass north. I will use every precaution to prevent the movement of our army at Jacksonport from being known by the enemy. If an advance is made in this direction, I will harass and impede his progress as much as possible. I have built a good bridge across Black River at this point, and my wagons are now crossing upon it. If I should be ordered to leave this point, I think it should be sent to Jacksonport.
I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Colonel, Commanding Outposts.

CAPTAIN: I fear the report of the Federals between Panola and Grenada true. I have nothing from Ingram yet. The steamer Dove passed up last evening, and at 11 o'clock last night shelled my friend Clampett's place, in Council Bend. No damage done. I heard thirteen shots here very distinctly. It is 8 miles from here to Clampett's by land and 23 by water. I rode through, beating a boat that passed here the same time I started three-quarters of an hour. Artillery is firing on a boat here. Could go across the point and prepare for action at Clampett's before the boat could reach there. So, if we failed to catch her at one point, we could make another trial at the other. The channel is near shore at both places. A quick and energetic commander could
