LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS JOURNAL PUBLISHED BY THE BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS NUMBER 8 "Thousands of veterans and thousands of the younger generations assembled at Gettysburg to commemorate the mighty struggle in which the contending armies met in mortal combat and thousands were left upon the field as martyrs to the cause for which they fought. It was 50 years ago that this memorable battle, the bloodiest in the history of this country, was fought. Those who return to the scene of the conflict are bent with age and soon they will have passed away, but on the field of Gettysburg they made history that will live as long as men preserve the records of past events. The Blue and the Gray are there today to shake hands over the 'bloody chasm,' to shed tears over the graves of the departed comrades who fell upon the field." Rev. Dr. Gregory, in the New York American, thus describes the three days' hard fighting in brief and eloquent sen tences: "It is 9 a. m. July 1, 1863. Three cannon shots are heard in rapid succession. They are Buford's signal for his skirmish line to open on the advancing lines of in since their great leader fell at Chancellorsville in the midst of his surpassing victory and his spirit is now urging the Gray lines to do their best. And the Blue lines, remembering the humiliation of Chancellorsville, would wipe it out here at Gettysburg. But fate is against the Blue. The First and Eleventh corps are practically annihilated; the brave Reynolds is killed; divisions are reduced by the slaughter to regiments, and regiments to companies-and on come the Confederates! The Eleventh corps, or what is left of it, remembering Davis and Archer. The battle of Gettysburg has gun! For seven hoursfrom 9 to 4-about one-third of the Army of Northern Virginia and one-third of the Army of the Potomac tug away at each other in the hell-cauldron about Willoughby Run and Oak Hill, some two or three miles to the northwest of the sleepy old town. Ewell, with the men who had followed 'Old Stonewall' up to Chancellorsville, fight like demons, and like other demons fight the men of Reynolds and Doubleday. The Death Angel laughs as the lives of the men are snuffed out. They fall on both sides in great windrows. It is the first battle that Jackson's men had been Stonewall's flank stroke in the Virginia Wilderness, breaks up, retires, and is followed in retreat to Cemetery Hill, south of the town. The first day of the battle of Gettysburg is over-and 10,000 men, about evenly divided between the Blue and the Gray, lay stretched out, dead or wounded, upon the bloody field. It is 9 a. m. again, July 2, and 160,000 men face each other along the ridges just south of Gettysburg-70,000 in gray under Lee, on Seminary Ridge, and 90,000 in blue, under Meade, on Cemetery Hill. The Union line, instead of conforming to the Cemetery Hill, leaves it, near |
