Scott Mingus' new book, Flames Beyond Gettysburg, is an excellent read and a solid work of history which sheds light on an often under-emphasized aspect of the Gettysburg campaign. Through Gettysburg and York to the Wrightsville-Columbia bridge, the reader marches with Gordon's Brigade--before the Battle of Gettysburg--to one of the most important strategic objectives of the entire campaign. In what must have been an exhaustive amount of research, Mingus balances the narrative by documenting the experiences of scores of south-central Pennsylvania residents, both Copperhead and Unionist, black and white, as well as, the efforts of the raw Pennsylvania militia to thwart the Confederate veterans prior to their world-famous encounter with the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg. A welcome addition to the library of any American Civil War enthusiast. - JaMK

By the 25th of June the Rebels occupied the Cumberland Valley from Martinsburg, W. Va., to within sight of the spires of Harrisburg, Penna. Stuart's cavalry being licked at Brandy Station and Aldie was forced to ride around the right of the Union Army. Imboden’s brigade of cavalry and 150 of White's guerrillas were the only mounted troops with Lee. As the Rebels advanced the people fled with their movable property, horses, cattle, groceries, store goods, etc., after offering such resistance as was possible, each section furnishing scouts, bush-whackers, men with axes who felled trees across the roads, telegraphed information of the movements, strength, etc., of the enemy to Harrisburg and Washington

On June 23d Henry Honn drew a line across the Chambersburg pike 2 miles west of Cashtown, Adams county, Pa., and swore he would shoot the first rebel that crossed it. An hour afterwards White's guerrillas, 150 strong, rode over the line. Honn’s rifle cracked and a Johnnie rolled off in the dust. White’s guerrillas skedaddled. Honn took to the brush and his rifle cracked frequently during the invasion.

A day or two after this Maj. John Scott of Gettysburg with 22 men disputed the passage of Monterey Gap in the Blue Ridge with Early’s division of 10,000 men. White's guerrillas, 150 men, came up in Scott’s rear, having crossed the mountain by the Cold Springs road, and Scott would have been captured but Maj. Haller with the Philadelphia City Troop. 100 strong, retreated on the lope, (the dust was a foot deep) and they raised so much dust that when Maj. Bell with 60 men armed with single shot horse pistols, cap locked, and saber charged White he skedaddled so fast he hadn’t time to pick up Scott and his men. The only names of Scott’s men I remember are John Burns, hero of Gettysburg, John Roth, a lame printer, Chas. Wilson, who died at the Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va., and Hy Mickley, afterwards a soldier in the Union army.

Harvey Cobean, one of Bell’s scouts, was surprised by White’s men coming up behind him. He turned the blind eye of his horse to the enemy, slipped his horse pistols and sabre through the fence and coolly collided the enemy. When the road was clear he rode back and reported to Maj. Bell.

Cashtown sent a squad into the mountains who picked off many of the spies, videttes, scouts, stragglers, foragers, etc, of the enemy. Arendtsville and vicinity sent a squad of twenty-five men who bushwhacked the enemy as they came through the Blue Ridge.

Gettysburg, Gettysburg College, the Lutheran Seminary and the surrounding country raised a company of men 100 strong which was Co. A of the 26th Pa. militia, [more] of which hereafter. This section also organized Bell’s Cavalry, 60 strong. Capt. Bell captured 500 scouts, foragers, spies, etc., from the enemy and kept them west of the Blue Ridge for a couple weeks. He was greatly assisted by Dutch Charlie, a Milroy skedaddler.

On June 25th the 26th Pa. Militia under Col. Jennings arrived at Gettysburg. About 8 A. M. June 26th Maj. Haller ordered them out the Chambersburg pike against Early’s Division, Col.Jennings, the commander of the regiment, protesting, Bell having informed Haller and Jennings of the Rebel strength. Three miles out the pike the militia came upon the enemy. When they tried to load their guns they had to bite all the paper off the bullets to get them down. Alter being discharged a few times it was impossible to reload the guns. The militia were soon outflanked and forced to retreat to Harrisburg, during which retreat about two hundred of them were captured.

Among the captured were many college boys of Co. A. They were corralled on Christ Church steps. Jubal Early rode up and inspected them. He grinned all over his face and said: "Hi, you little hoys must have slipped out of your mothers’ band-boxes, you look so nice. Now be off home to your mothers. If I catch you again I'll spank you all." and they let them go.

White’s guerrillas and Early’s Div. pushed Bell and the City Troop out of Gettysburg June 26th, killing Private [George Washington] Sandoe of Bell’s men.

As Early’s Div. left the east end of Gettysburg Henry McNair, Geo. Gwynn and two other Adams county boys of Capt. Horner’s company, Cole’s Md. Battalion, dashed in and captured a dispatch bearer from Ewell to Early. The capture of that dispatch bearer caused Early to march to Wrightsville and back to Heidlersburg and probably saved the fall of Harrisburg, Pa. McNair took the dispatch bearer to Reynolds and became his guide during the campaign.

William A. Scott, The Battle of Gettysburg. (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania: self published, 1905).

Tom Ryan of the Washington Times has written a nice review of Flames Beyond Gettysburg. Here is his text.

We normally think of Gettysburg in terms of the combat that took place in that remote south central Pennsylvania town on July 1, 2 and 3, 1863.  In actuality, this battle was the apex of a campaign that lasted nearly two long months.  During that time, a series of clashes occurred that had an influence on the outcome of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s bold invasion of the North.

            Scott L. Mingus, Sr.’s Flames Beyond Gettysburg:  The Gordon Expedition, June 1863 focuses on one obscure but critical event during that period that took place in the small riverfront town of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania on Sunday June 28 – three days prior to the Battle of Gettysburg.  The community’s claim to fame was a unique mile-long covered, mostly wooden, bridge across which flowed railroad trains, wheeled vehicles, pedestrians and canal barges powered by mules along an adjacent tow-path to the town of Columbia on the opposite side of the Susquehanna River.         

While this book describes Lee’s 1863 invasion, it more specifically highlights a single brigade in his army – six Georgia regiments under the command of the capable and aggressive Brig. Gen. John B. Gordon.  Gordon led his brigade through Waynesboro and Gettysburg, then on to York, Pennsylvania.  Ultimately, he arrived in Wrightsville, a few miles east of York, with orders to capture and hold the bridge for passage of Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early’s division to the eastern side of the river.

            Mr. Mingus’ extensive volume, which is clearly written, scrupulously edited, and well-organized, covers a lot of ground before it concentrates on the Wrightsville story.  It follows Lee’s army and Gordon’s Georgians in early June from their starting point south of Fredericksburg, Virginia and the Rappahannock River west to the Shenandoah Valley, and north to the Potomac River on into Maryland. 

As his Army of Northern Virginia moved into Pennsylvania, it became evident that Lee’s primary objective was to gain control of a major city in the North, such as Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Baltimore, or even the more heavily defended capital at Washington, and hold it hostage for a peace settlement with the Federal government that would allow the rebellious Southern states to separate from the Union permanently.

John B. Gordon was one of the many talented generals in the Rebel army that Lee depended upon to help accomplish his main objective, and several ancillary ones as well.  In particular, the overall plan included the confiscation of food supplies and horses in the North that would alleviate severe commissary and transportation deficiencies that the Rebel army had been experiencing for some time.

As Gordon’s brigade progressed along its expedition into the North, it engaged in a number of minor skirmishes with green Pennsylvania militia troops that offered little or no resistance.  The 35th Battalion Virginia Cavalry and the 17th Virginia Cavalry Regiment that accompanied Gordon’s brigade conducted most of the military action that occurred.  Col. Elijah V. White’s unruly and unkempt 35th Virginia, that regularly operated as guerrillas and raiders, struck fear into the hearts of Pennsylvania civilians

The author devotes considerable space describing the countryside and the people that inhabit it.  In so doing, he introduces a number of Pennsylvania Dutch citizens, one of the predominant ethnic groups in that area.  These people along with other citizens had a burden to bear, since the Southern soldiers fulfilled Lee’s desire to lay hold of as much food and supplies as possible, while destroying transportation facilities such as railroads and bridges that served vital roles in supporting Federal military objectives.

Mr. Mingus points out that not all Pennsylvania citizens were loyal to their government in Washington, and many demonstrated their antipathy by welcoming and supporting the invaders in a variety of ways.  These “Copperheads,’ as they were known, soon learned that their friendliness was not always rewarded, since the Rebels indiscriminately confiscated from every farm and household, especially those that enjoyed full larders and well-stocked barns.

The author also relates the incongruity of Rebel officers reassuring Northern citizens that they did not come to harm them or destroy their homes, while at the same placing levies of cash and goods on the towns, and “purchasing” whatever met their fancy from individual families or local stores with worthless Confederate currency.  For the most part, the people perceived the reality of the situation, and stoically acquiesced to the demands of the passing army.  While many were left destitute as a result, they counted their blessings since they had feared the end result could have been much worse. 

As the Rebel army marched relentlessly and virtually unopposed across Pennsylvania, thousands of citizens sought safer ground for themselves and their property.  Those who moved eastward had to cross the Susquehanna River, and many crowded into the town of Wrightsville in order to pass over the bridge to Columbia.  Massive traffic jams ensued that that did not dissipate until Pennsylvania militia officers intervened.

When Gordon and his brigade reached York as the vanguard of Early’s division, he received orders to push on to Wrightsville in order to secure the bridge.  Early’s plan was to cross to the eastern shore of the Susquehanna, and march north to take Harrisburg in reverse while the other divisions of Lt. Gen. Richard Ewell’s corps attacked it head on.

The events that followed are the crux of Flames Beyond Gettysburg, the fifth volume in Ironclad Publishing’s popular The Discovering Civil War America Series.  The final chapters are devoted to the strategy and tactics involved in a steadily developing confrontation between the inexperienced Pennsylvania militia assigned to protect the Wrightsville-Columbia Bridge under the leadership of Col. Jacob G. Frick and Maj. Granville O. Haller, and the battle-tested regiments of Gordon’s brigade on June 28. 

This confrontation resulted in one of the most dramatic events of Lee’s Northern campaign, yet has not received the attention it deserves.  The reason is that General Lee recalled his army from its planned attack on Harrisburg in order to concentrate in the area of Cashtown or Gettysburg to meet Maj. Gen. George G. Meade’s advancing Union forces.   The presence of Gordon’s brigade in Wrightsville prior to these changed plans, however, led to the destruction of the majestic covered bridge spanning the Susquehanna River.  Mr. Mingus explains how that unfortunate event came about..

The author judiciously includes a sufficient number of maps to guide the reader across the countryside as the Rebel army marched northward from Virginia to Pennsylvania.  The narrative is well documented with endnotes supported by an extensive bibliography.  An order of battle for the military units engaged at Wrightsville and a casualty list are also provided.  There is a useful weather chart for the dates of Gordon’s expedition, and a chronology of Lee’s invasion from the starting date of June 3 to the conclusion on July 14. 

John Gordon’s expedition to the bridge in Wrightsville is a fresh and engaging supplement to the Gettysburg chronicles.  Having published several volumes of Civil War human-interest stories, Scott Mingus effectively applies that experience to this project.  There are a number of driving tour guides appended (six in all), mainly focusing on the region between Gettysburg and Wrightsville/Columbia, that will especially appeal to people living in the Pennsylvania communities where much of this action took place.

Quite some time ago in my Cannonball blog for the York Daily Record, I wrote about a near-miss during the Gettysburg Campaign at Dillsburg, Pa., where the 26th Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia deployed in ranks on a hillside near the village in an effort to resist an anticipated charge by the elements of former U.S. congressman Albert Jenkins' Confederate cavalry. In scanning through some old material, I found a first hand account of Private Dennis Bashore Shuey, a teenaged student and part-time teacher from Lebanon County. Nearly six decades after his brief visit to Dillsburg, he published his recollections in a family genealogy book. Here is D. B. Shuey's account of the fight at Witmer Farm near Gettysburg, and the subsequent retreat to Dillsburg in northwestern York County.


Quote:

WILLIAM JENNINGS, a representative of the manufacturing interests of Harrisburg, descends in the fourth generation from Captain Jesse Jennings, a veteran of the war of 1812-14. He is a grandson of William Jennings, a plow manufacturer of Harrisburg, and a son of Colonel William Wesley Jennings, a prominent business man of Harrisburg, and an illustrious soldier of the great civil war.

William Jennings (grandfather) was born September 23, 1807, died October 6, 1875. About 1824 he.took up his residence in Harrisburg, established a large factory and was very successful in his business operations. He married Elmina Elizabeth Boas; born July 7, 1813, died October to, 1884, daughter of Frederick and Elizabeth (Krause) Boas, the former named a dealer in china and queensware. The children . born to Mr. and Mrs. Jennings were as follows: I. Elmer F., born May I I, 1833, died December 22, 1876. He married Elizabeth: Pritchard, of Germantown, Pennsylvania. .In 1862 he enlisted as a soldier in the nine months service, and served until the close of the war; he was a captain of one of the companies in the Twelfth Pennsylvania Regiment of Volunteers; he was a brave soldier, participating in many battles and enduring many hardships. 2. William Wesley, born July 22, 1838, see forward. 3. Elizabeth Martha, born Septemebr 9, 1843, married Benjamin f`,. Scheffer, a sketch of whom is found elsewhere in this work. 4. Elmina R., born January 8, 1845, died May 17, 1846. 5. Mary E., born September 26, 1847, died January 16, 1857. 6. Fanny, born March 9, 1854, died December 23, 1869.

Colonel William Wesley Jennings, second son of William and Elmina E. (Boas) Jennings, was born at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, July 22, 1838. Ile was educated in the public schools of that city. At the age of fifteen years he entered his father's foundry and learned the trade of a moulder, becoming well skilled in the art of iron making. He followed his trade until 186o, when he purchased his father's plant and successfully engaged in the iron business on his own account, continuing until 1877. Mr. Jennings was active in the organization of the Harrisburg board of trade and was its first president. In 1880 he was elected president of the First National Bank of Harrisburg, which position he held until his death. He was president of the Commonwealth Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Company (now the Common-wealth Trust Company) ; was president of the Harrisburg Steam Heat and Power Company; a director of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company, and interested in other large corporations.

William W. Jennings distinguished himself during the civil war as a volunteer soldier and officer. When President Lincoln called for men he enlisted as a private in the "Lochiel Greys.'' He was chosen first lieutenant of his company and served as such through the three months campaign of 1861, with the Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Upon the return from the front Lieutenant Jennings was tendered by the governor of Pennsylvania the position of past adjutant and drill master at Camp Curtin, which appointment he accepted and filled until .July, 1862. He was anxious, however, to be actively engaged on the field, so applied for and obtained permission to raise a regiment, and the following month found him at the point in command of the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh Pennsylvania Regiment, wearing the insignia of colonel. He was in command of this regiment until the expiration of his term of service, May, 1863. Colonel Jennings then returned to private life, but during General Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania, he was again called to the field and placed in command of the Twenty-sixth Emergency Regiment.

Politically Colonel Jennings was a Republican. He held numerous offices, among which was that of sheriff of Dauphin county, serving from 1864 to 1856 and from 1876 to 1879. In the capacity of sheriff, on the never-to-be-forgotten night of July 23, 1877, when an armed mob had taken possession of the city of Harrisburg, Colonel Jennings called to his aid men who had confidence in his ability and judgment and inspired them to suppress the deadly riot, and soon peace and order was restored in the city. He was an active and honored member of Robert Burns Lodge, No. 464, Free and Accepted Masons, at Harrisburg, and also of Pilgrim Commandery, Knights Templar. He was one of the organizers of Post No. 58, Grand Army of the Republic, held all the offices in the gift of the organization, and was an enthusiastic supporter of all its purposes. Colonel Jennings stood without a superior as a citizen; as a soldier and officer he performed his duty as he saw the-right; as a Christian and firm believer in his faith he was loyally faithful. He was an excellent financier, and not a few of the business men of today in Harrisburg owe their success and prosperity to timely assistance and advice from him when they most needed it. The needy poor ever found in him a friend.

Colonel Jennings married, December 17, 1861, Emma J. Van Horn, daughter of William and Jane (Hutton) Van Horn, the former of whom was born December 8, 1809, died October 2, 1859, and the latter was born in 1814, at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, died in April, 1849, aged thirty-five years. Mr. and Mrs. Van Horn were united in marriage in 1839. The children of Colonel and Igrs. Jennings are: Frederick B., who died at the age of seven years. Mary. William, of whom more will be said. Fanny. married Dr. George G. Ross, of Philadelphia. Harry, married Mary Saylor, of Allentown, Pennsylvania.

One possessing the sterling traits of character of Colonel Jennings could not fail to draw merited admiration front a large circle of inen of a high type. He had not yet reached his majority when he wore the uniform of a colonel and was the commander of a gallant regiment of men. He was a man among men and hence was by all beloved, both as leader and comrade. His was a genial nature, generous and broad-minded. He had no petty traits of character to mar his manhood, but was frank and open-hearted arid free from guile. He died February 28, 1894.

William Jennings, son of Colonel William W. and Emily Jane (Van Horn) Jennings, was born in the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, August 18, 1868. His education was obtained in the public schools of his native city and Lehigh University. After completing his education he was engaged as a moulder and machinist for one year, and in 1889 was appointed secretary and treasurer of the Harrisburg Steam Heat and Power Company, of which corporation he became the president in May, 1894, and which he is guiding to success. He is also the treasurer of the Jackson Manufacturing Company, as well as of several electric railway lines in both Pennsylvania and Maryland. In politics Mr. Jennings is a Republican; he served as councilman in the city of Harrisburg from 1900 to 1904, and at the present time (1907) is president of the board of public works. He is a member of Robert Burns Lodge, No. 464, Free and Accepted Masons, at Harrisburg.

William Jennings married, October 13, 1892, J. Belle West, daughter of Rev. William A. and Jennie West. Their children are: Dorothy, born December 2, 1893, died March 28, 1898. William W., born Deccmher 28. 1896. Ross S., born April 18, 1898. Christian L., born April 12, 1900. Edward, born February 28, 1901. The family are attendants of the Presbyterian church.

Kelker, Luther Reily,  History of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, Lewis Publishing Company, 1907, pp. 10-11.

Tim Smith of the Adams County Historical Society and his friend author Bill Frassanito of Gettysburg pointed out a couple of suggested changes to the driving tour of Route 30 to New Oxford.

 1. The railroad tracks at Swift Run are post-war, and the site of the cow-train accident was to the south of the current RR crossing across Route 30

2. I should have clarified to the reader that the train station in New Oxford that has the plaque for the 26th PVM is post-war; another station existed in 1863. I had been told that by a local historian, but the text does not indicate it's post-war.

 Thanks Tim and Bill.

These corrections will be made in the planned second edition, which will feature some new additional information on Bell's Cavalry, Granville Haller, Frick's 27th PVM, Hanover Junction, and other topics that have surfaced since the publication of the book and people are making fresh material available to me on a wide range of topics covered within the book. 

This does not include the prisoners taken on June 26 at Marsh Creek and paroled downtown.
