The most sacred treasury a soldier has, is his military honor, an unjust attack upon it is a crime in the eyes of all true men. The solder's honor is a sacred trust in the hands of Superior Officers and this trust should not be violated recklessly or maliciously or to satisfy evil passions. </p><p>I presume you have read the official report of Major General J. Hooker, concerning the night attack at Wauhatchie, Octbr 28 / 29 1863. In that report are contained strictures on the conduct of a part of the troops of the most revolting character. The report has been published in different newspapers. Whether this was done with the permission of the War Dept., I do not know; if without, the worse the deed. By a mere accident, I came in possession of the Cincinnati Comercial of the 5th of January, and for the first time, saw this report. My Surprise, </p> <hr /> <p>my indignation is not to be described. In a long and eventful life, I met for the first time with such an attack upon my honor. No name is mentioned in the report, no Brigade is specified, but as my Brigade was the first that joined Genl Geary at Wauhatchie, the report could not be understood otherwise, than aiming at 3d Brigade. The surprise of my Commanders, Majr Genl Schurz and Majr Gen Howard, equalled mine. I immediately applied for a court of Inquiry. My application was forwarded to Head Qrt Dept of the Cumberland, accompanied by a letter of Majr Genl Hooker, in which he says, " that he does not know for what reason I connect myself and my Brigade, with the report of the engagement of Wauhatchie, showing himself by this declarations that he heaped dishonor and slander on troops by confounding them with others, mixing up place, time, circumstances, and concocting a false and untrue report for the purpose of ruining man's reputation. </p><p>The Court was granted, the witnesses are heard, the result of the Court of Inquiry is not doubtful. Majr. Gel Schurz (at whom the blow was aimed, and by mistake fell on myself also) and myself, are fully exonerated by the evidence given, and by a number of witnesses, amongst them, the own aid-de-Camps of Majr Gen Hooker, it </p> <hr /> <p>is shown, that the honor of men and soldiers has been attacked in the most (to use the mildest term) unaccountable and reckless manner. </p><p>The events of that night, fixed beyond controversy by witnesses, run as follows: The Camp of Brig: Genl Geary's Division of 12th A. Corps, was at Wauhatchie; about 3 miles from it was the Camp of the 11th Corps, no other troops filled the space between Geary and the 11th Corps. The debouchees from Lookout point were open, the enemy broke forward through those defiles for a surprise by a Midnight attack. My Brigade consisted of the 68th NYk, 75th Pennsa, half of the 80th Ills, the other half and the 82nd Ills being detached to guard the Gap near Shell mound, a distance of nearly 20 miles. The 75th Pa arrived late in the night, having been detached to guard the pontoon train, and for this reason I had not yet fallen asleep, when I heard a firing in the direction of Wauhatchie. The Brigade was ordered to fall in, as it was clear to me that the enemy had meant a Surprise and the Brigade was ready to march before orders were received. Ten Minutes past One O'clock, Majr Genl Hooker, ordered Majr Genl Schurz to take the nearest Brigade at hand And push through to Geary; the other Brigades of III Div to follow up the road. Majr Genl Schurz ordered <u>1st Brigade under Brig: Genl Tyndale</u> forward. </p> <hr /> <p>and led it himself, the two others to follow on the road. This was done promptly, or as Majr Gen Hooker says himself "splendidly." As the whole Corps was marching at once, there was a crowding of the marching troops in the Valley but no delay. So we marched on. After having marched a certain distance, the firing in front at Geary's becoming weaker. On a sudden the Brigade in front, II Brig, halted. I ordered my Adjt Gens forward, to ascertain the cause. Second Brig: had received orders to halt, "we have received no such Orders, was my answer, and I shall push on" so it was done, passing 2nd Brig:, I marched forward. Where is Cols Hecker? inquired a voice. Here! was my reply, and Major Howard of Majr Genl Howard's Staff, arrives with the following Order: Colonel, You march forward to the Crossroad, halt there, and form line of battle, front toward the hills (on our left). As the enemy had occupied the hills and fired at us, the reason of this order was clear to everybody's mind. The order was executed immediately, and Majr Howard left me with the words: Here is Genl Hooker himself. He adressed me: "What troops are these?" 3d Brigade 3d Div x1 Corps, Sir! and informed him of the Order brought by Major Howard. Where is Genl Schurz? was his question. In front, Sir! One of his aids has just been </p> <hr /> <p>carried along, wounded; then he asked me about the whereabouts, of our other troops, and as 2nd Brigade had formed in an open field, on my left I pointed it out to him, with the finger, showing him the ground where Colonel Kryzanowsky, the Commander, was. He ordered me then to instruct my men to be ready to change front to the right, toward Wauhatchie, if necessary, and he left me when a volley from the hills came on us, with the words, "You stay here, Colonel." All right Sir, was my reply. The fire at Geary had died away, and had ceased a little after Genl Hooker had left me and took position in front of 2nd Brigade 3rd Division. The Orders and instructions given by the Commander in Chief, himself, were clear and positive. The enemy had the hills to our left, there was danger, that the enemy would push between our troops and Brown's ferry, threatening the rear of Chattanooga; this is what Genl Hooker, States himself before the Court of inquiry. Major Genl Schurz marching forward with <u>first brigade</u> over Marshy and brushy terrain got <u>entangled in a swamp and brushes</u>, This caused a few minutes delay and then he received the Orders <u>to take the hill near Lookout point Gap and hold that position.</u> </p> <hr /> <p>Second and 3d Brigades were halted by Majr Genl Hooker's <u>Orders, and under his own eyes.</u> Quite a time had elapsed when Majr Genls Schurz who had taken and held the hill, came back to Genl Hooker, who adressed him quite angry: "<u>Why did you not push through to Geary</u>." Majr Genl Schurz answered that he was by his (Hooker's) own orders, ordered to take and hold the hill near the gap. Majr Gen Hooker seemed to ignore his own order, and on the question of Genl Schurz, "Can I have now my two Brigades, and an affirmative answer, with the words: now, push through to Geary; Gen Schurz took us forward. Arrived the hill just taken, where the firing continued, <u>whilst it had long ceased in front, towards Wauhatchie</u>. I was ordered to bring one regiment (75h Pa) into the gap, this was done immediately, <u>and then received for the first time the orders to march through to Geary, at all hazards</u>, and reinforced by the 141st NYk [illegible] was executed immediately, this without delay, and without meeting any obstacles, accompanied by Capt. Stinson of Majr Genl Howard's Staff, and in 15 minutes I had formed the junction with Genl Geary. During the whole night I had met no swamp, no obstacle. The fire at Geary's was over long ago. It ended as above stated a few minutes </p> <hr /> <p>after I had received Majr Genl Hooker's own instructions; and you may after this true statement of the events, proved by the witnesses, judge of my indignation, when reading the report. All my superior Officers, all my companions of arms must and will be witnesses and bear testimony, that in my whole military career, I never failed in doing my duty fully, to the best of my abilities, and no man stands high enough to attack my honor, recklessly or willfully. The soldiers of Illinois, stand high and esteemed for their courage and valor and devotion to their country and its liberties. An attack, an undeserved, unjust, untrue, false attack upon their honor and manliness is an insult to them and to the state they belong to. I apply to you, Sir, as the Chief Magistrate of Illinois, the Chief Commander of the Militia of our Noble State, to you the patriot and friend of the Illinois soldiers, for satisfaction against an abuse of power, toward inferior Officers unheard of, in the annuals of military history. Whilst on one hand it is prohibited by articles of war and General Orders, to defend yourself against official falsehoods in the press, and when doing so, you are exposed to be cashiered, the Superior Officer, has the power to insult </p> <hr /> <p>the entirely defenceless inferior and to deprive him of his most sacred good, his honor, publicly, a power surpassing oriental despotism. How is it possible to serve with joyful heart and mind, when even in the raging of the battle, you know that your reputation and moral existence is at stake &amp; at the mercy of superiors &amp; you have not always witnesses at hand to set all your actions in such a broad daylight as to stand the most minutious scrutiny. </p><p>I adress myself to you, who has shown me always so much kindness, given so much evidence of friendly feelings, and request you to examine the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry held Jany 29th to febry 15th 1864, and to procure me satisfaction against such an insult. </p><p>I have the honor to sign, most respectfully </p><p>Your Obedt. Servant. </p><p>Fr Hecker </p><p>Col Comd'g Brig: </p> <hr /> <p>Hecker. Col. </p><p>Whiteside. Tenn. </p><p>Feb 17. 1864. </p><p>Complains of the unjust Strictures continued in the official report of Majr Genl Hooker, concerning the Night attack on Wauhatchie Oct 28/29 1863. and appeals to Gov for redress --- </p><p>Describes the engagemt on that occasion -- </p><p><br /> (R) </p><p>I desire Col Hirshback &amp; Loomis to read carefully &amp; see what is best to be done. </p><p>Executive Office Feby 27 64 </p> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
