A New Birth of Freedom
“Our constitution does not copy the laws of neighbor-
ing states; we are rather a pattern to others than imitators
ourselves. Its administration favors the many instead of the
few; this is why it is called a democracy. If we look to the
laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differ-
ences; if no social standing, advancement in public life falls
to reputation for capacity, class considerations not being
allowed to interfere with merit…”
“For this offering of their lives they received that renown
which never grows old. For heroes have the whole earth for
their tomb; and in lands far from 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 of the heart.”
- Pericles’ Funeral Oration from the Peloponnesian War
“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not
hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have
consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world … can never
forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. …that
we 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 of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
- Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address
Recently, I’ve been thinking about three of my great-grandfathers (continued on Page 4)

The final highlight of the meeting was the election of the 2014 team of
officers who will strive to continue the great work done by Commander
Hawley. Brother Richard Griffin was elected Commander for 2014
after spending a year as Senior Vice Commander under Commander
Ben Hawley. We thank Ben for all he did for the camp in 2013 and
now welcome him to the

Next Camp Meeting, 8 March, 11:30 am at Gadsby’s Tavern
Our next camp meeting will take place at Gadsby’s Tavern on 8 March, 11:30 am.
Gadsby’s Tavern is located at 138 North Royal Street, Old Town Alexandria.
Our guest speaker will provide a unique and entertaining presentation as Brother
Douglas Jimerson will focus on Abraham Lincoln and some of his favorite music
in lecture and in song.
Brother Jimerson began his professional performing career with The Washington Opera. He made his
concert stage debut at Carnegie Hall in 1996. He has advanced degrees in opera and musicology. Brother Ji-
merson and his period ensemble, the Civil War Comrades, regularly perform 18th and 19th century Ameri-
can music for the National Park Service and national historic sites. Jimerson’s most recent CD release was
entitled “Lincoln Portrait,” and he is currently writing a book about Lincoln’s favorite songs.
This will certainly be a meeting to attend. We hope to see you all there. The reservation form for the
meeting is on the last page of this newsletter.
Commander Hawley,
Thank you
for your service
to the Order!

Commander’s Message: A New Birth of Freedom (Continued from Page 1)
who served in the Civil War. My ruminations have been in the context of the great struggle they were involved
in, the sacrifices they endured, and our individual and collective responsibility, as members of the Sons of Union
Veterans of the Civil War, to preserve the memory of the “boys in blue” who fought, as President Lincoln said, to
ensure a new birth of freedom and to preserve government of the people, by the people and for the people. This
responsibility that we bear is of ancient lineage, harking back at least to the time of the Peloponnesian War (circa
431–404 BC), as the historian Thucydides reminds us, when the democracy Athens and the oligarchy Sparta were
embroiled in a brutal war for mastery of Greece.
I’ll come back to our responsibility later, but first I’d like to give a quick thumbnail description of my great-grand-
sires’ service.
John W. Griffin was 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. Of course, in those days, moving from New Brunswick to Maine was
as simple as getting on board a schooner in Saint John and getting off in Eastport. John Griffin enlisted as a private
in the Sixth Maine Volunteer Infantry on the 15th of July 1861, the same day the regiment completed mustering
into federal service. During its service, the regiment participated in numerous battles, including Yorktown, Antie-
tam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Rappahannock Station, The Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Courthouse. It
mustered out in August 1864, having sustained losses of 77 killed, 243 wounded, 38 taken prisoner, and 30 missing
in action. Of these, 22 killed, 73 wounded, 11 prisoners, and 5 missing were incurred at Fredericksburg; 40 killed
and 97 wounded at Rappahannock Station; and 10 killed 37 wounded, 4 prisoners, and 30 missing at Spotsylvania
Courthouse. John Griffin reenlisted as a Veteran Volunteer on the 23rd of December 1863, but transferred to the
U.S Navy on the 10th of April 1864. This was after the Battle of Rappahannock Station, but before Spotsylvania
Courthouse. 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 of GAR Post 50 in Cherryfield,
Maine.
George Perkins was born in Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1841. He mustered into the Sixth New York Independent
Battery as a private on the 7th of December 1861. He mustered out on 7 December 1864. During his service, the
Sixth New York served, for the most part, as horse artillery with the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac. The
battery participated in the Peninsula Campaign (when it was assigned as division artillery with Hooker’s Division),
the Battle of Kelly’s Ford, the Chancellorsville Campaign, the Battle of Brandy Station, Gettysburg, Bristoe Sta-
tion Campaign, Rappahannock Bridge, the Mine Run Campaign, the Battle of the Wilderness, Sheridan’s Raid on
Richmond, the Battle of Hawe’s Shop, Early’s Raid on Washington, and the 1864 Shenandoah Campaign. Despite
its intense involvement in the campaigns of the Army of the Potomac, the Sixth New York suffered only eight killed
and nine who died of disease or accidents during the war. Perkins kept a diary during his three years in the army
and wrote numerous letters to his hometown newspaper. He used the pen name “Hoplite”, the title of the citizen
soldier of the ancient Greek city-states. Having been a student at Harvard College, I presume he was familiar with
Thucydides’ account of the Peloponnesian War. Postwar, he was a member of Burbank Post of the GAR and was the
first Commander and member of GAR Post 161 in Woburn, Massachusetts.
Lyman D. Marsh was born in Gilford, New Hampshire in 1841. He mustered into the 8th New Hampshire Volun-
teer Infantry on the 23rd of December 1861. The 8th New Hampshire served from March 1862 to July 1864 with
the Army and Department of the Gulf, including the Red River campaigns under the command of the political
general Nathaniel Banks. The regiment was converted into cavalry for a brief period in 1864. During the course
of its service, the regiment lost 58 killed, 255 wounded, 78 prisoners, and 8 missing. It suffered its highest losses
in the battles of Labadieville, Louisiana on October 27th 1862, where it lost 11 killed, 35 wounded, and one taken
prisoner; Port Hudson Louisiana on May 27th 1863, where it lost eight killed and 87 wounded; Port Hudson again
on June 14th 1863, where it lost twenty four killed, seventy six wounded, 13 taken prisoner, and (continued on page 9)

The Ontario Regiment in the Army of the Potomac,
as told by an embedded journalist
The Story of the Thirty-Third N.Y.S. Vols: Or Two Years Campaigning
in Virginia and Maryland
by David W. Judd
Rochester: Benton & Andrews, 1864
New York Times journalist David Wright Judd (1838-
1888) accompanied the 33rd New York Volunteer Infantry,
the Ontario Regiment, during its two years in the Army
of the Potomac from 1861 to 1863. They fought at
Williamsburg, the Seven Days’ Battles, Antietam, and at
the first and second battles of Fredericksburg. In that last
fight, of 550 men who advanced, 221 were killed, wound-
ed, or missing. This regimental history was published
while the war was still ongoing, in 1864.
As a journalist, Judd was not with the companies of the
regiment in the thick of its engagements, but he was with
them before and afterward, and he had good access to the
headquarters tent. Here are things to like about this con-
temporary account of the Civil War:
• Judd had a fine nineteenth century way with words.
The men of the regiment were “brave,” “gallant boys.”
He was quite eloquent when discussing the Union
cause and the sacrifice of the troops.
• He was with the 33rd in camp, on marches, and as
the soldiers cared for the wounded and buried their
dead. There are many amusing stories of Civil War
soldiering.
• His description of the retreat of the Army of the
Potomac from the outskirts of Richmond back down
the Peninsula in June, 1862, is still fresh and frank.
Twenty-first century infantry leaders could draw
lessons from it. His description of Antietam the day
after the battle is similarly graphic. You can learn a
lot from Brady’s photographs, but Judd’s words
are just as vivid.
• The book contains unvarnished estimates of many
generals, as seen from one regiment. McClellan was
inspiring, Porter was a goat, Burnside was manly
because he was honest. A century and a half later,
all have been the subject of studies and evaluations.
Reading contemporary views is refreshing.
• Judd wrote the book about the leaders and soldiers of
the regiment. He never drew attention to himself. The
word “I” is almost entirely absent from the book. This
lack of ego is refreshing.
The volume includes maps and woodcut illustrations by an
officer of the regiment. The work of veterans, biographers,
and historians now tell us more about each of the 33rd’s
engagements, but this account by an embedded journalist
is valuable and entertaining precisely because he wrote the
book so close in time to awful and momentous events.
Tip: Make sure you purchase a facsimile reprint of Judd’s book,
not a computer-generated copy that used optical scanning
rather than reproduce the pages.

7. A Union unit’s story, now told from all sides
Path of Blood: The True Story of the 33rd New York Volunteers
by George Contant
Seeco Printing Company, 1997
Path of Blood is a new history of a regiment in the Army
of the Potomac, the 33rd New York Volunteer Infantry.
The “Ontario Regiment” was raised in Western New York
in the spring of 1861, and it served in Virginia and Mary-
land -- fighting in the battles of Williamsburg, Antietam,
and Fredericksburg -- during the first two years of the
Civil War.
The only previous book on the regiment, published in
1864, was written by the New York Times correspondent
that accompanied the unit, David Judd. Though not a
professional historian, George Contant masterfully
located and combed through hundreds of scattered Civil
War letters and fading newspaper articles to trace anew
the story of the regiment.
Contant’s new account has the same freshness as Judd’s
because it so extensively quotes the contemporary let-
ters of its officers and soldiers. It is even more satisfying
because Contant also quotes the generals, men in neigh-
boring units on the same battlefields, and the Confeder-
ate soldiers who faced the 33rd. It is fresh, too, because
Contant, in the tradition of great historians like Parkman,
walked each of the battlefields. This freshness and
familiarity overcomes the book’s minor editorial short-
comings -- some typos and formatting lapses uncaught
by the proofreader.
Even after more than 130 years, there are new things to
discover about the Civil War. At the Battle of Williams-
burg on May 5, 1862, three companies of the 33d halted a
Confederate advance led by Jubal Early with a desperate
bayonet charge, preventing a major rout of the Union
forces. Brigadier General Winfield Scott Hancock received
the credit for the daring reversal -- jump starting his
remarkable military and political career. Contant persua-
sively shows, however, that it was the quick thinking of
Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Corning of the 33rd
that was
decisive.
Du Picq
once said
that study
of a single
skirmish
in detail
yields more
knowledge
of war
than many
books on
campaigns.
Path of
Blood
illustrates
this well.
There are
many
profound
lessons about the Civil War -- and about war
itself -- to be derived from the experience of the 33rd
New York as it marched through Maryland and Virginia:
fog of war, friction of war, principles of war, leadership,
followership, cohesion and unit spirit, training, logistics,
“cause and comrades,” and so on. Contant -- like myself,
a descendant of one of the 33d’s soldiers -- deserves great
credit for recovering them. Through the eyes of the 33rd’s
soldiers we see McClellan and Sedgwick and Hancock
-- the Peninsula, Antietam, and Fredericksburg -- at first
hand. We hear the bands around the campfires and see
the “burnished rows of steel” on the march. From their
letters -- as they wrote them within hours and days of
their struggles -- we hear their voices, cheers, and curses.
We feel the battle rage. We learn of their exasperations,
and their hopes. And in the end, we know too their
love of country.

A note from Treasurer Lee Stone, PDC:
Brothers who have not yet gotten around to renewing membership in Lincoln-Cushing Camp, SUVCW, may wish to
consider what the Camp does with its portion of your dues money. Each year the Camp supports projects that keep
green in the minds of everyone--not just Brothers of the SUVCW--the deeds and sacrifices of the men who wore the
Blue from 1861 to 1865 and saved our Union. Recent examples are: contributing to the Civil War Trails sign about the
1863 death of General Michael Corcoran in Fairfax City VA; helping the 54th Massachusetts Infantry buy a new flag
(the old one tattered beyond use by numerous campaigns); organizing and leading the public ceremony honoring all
those who died for the Union, held by our Camp each year on 30 May (the true Memorial Day, handed down from the
Grand Army of the Republic) at Arlington National Cemetery. This year Arlington National Cemetery has asked to
take part in our 30 May ceremony, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Cemetery.
Of those who have renewed this year so far, the Camp wishes publicly to thank the following Brothers for donations
above 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, SVCC
J. Brinley Lewis, David J. Lockwood, PCC Father Charles H. Nalls, Larry E. Ogden, James M. Perry, PCC Robert D.
Pollock, PCC James R. Wachob, and PDC R. Keith Young. In addition, the following old-style Life Members have
voluntarily contributed to the Camp in lieu of dues: Melvin J. Bradley, PCinC Lowell V. Hammer, PDC Kenneth D.
Hershberger, PCinC Andrew M. Johnson, Stephen H. Siemsen, and PDC Lee D. Stone. The Camp is grateful to all
those who have paid their dues for 2014, and hopes that every Brother who has not yet done so will see fit to renew.

five missing in action; and at Sabine Crossroads Louisiana on the 8th of April 1864, where it lost three killed, 13
wounded, and 42 taken prisoner. Private Marsh was wounded in action on the 14th of June 1863 at Port Hudson
and became a prisoner of war on the 8th of April 1864 at Sabine Crossroads. He returned to his regiment on the
30th of October 1864. He mustered out on the 18th of January 1865. So far, I have not been able to determine if he
was a member of a GAR post.
Back to that responsibility I referred to at the beginning of this essay. We do have the task of ensuring that the
memory of the boys in blue does not fade away, but is kept alive for succeeding generations. In my view, we should
do this by keeping the objects that they fought for 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 of three of my great-grandfathers. How will you
help to perpetuate the memory of your ancestors?
