Burger, William L. et al. General Orders no. 153 from Headquarters, Department of the South, 1864 November 7.
Description:    1 item (1 leaf) ; 20 x 13 cm.
Abstract:    Printed General Orders no. 153 from Headquarters, Department of the South, Hilton Head, S. C. about the failed attack on Forts Johnson and Simpkins [Battery Simpkins, James Island, S. C.]. The account states that on July 3d, 1864, the 52d Penn. Vol. Infantry, Col. Hoyt, and the 127th, New York Vol. Infantry, Major Little, with 60 men of the 3d R. I. Artillery, left Paine's Dock, Morris Island on boats and under orders to take Forts Johnson and Simpkins. They were to cross Charleston Harbor, pull vigorously to land, and assault with the bayonet. However, when Col. Hoyt, Lieut.-Col. Conyngham, Capt. Camp, Lieuts. Stevens and Evans, Adjt. Bunyan (afterwards killed) and 135 men landed and drove the enemy, they were deserted by their comrades and were forced to surrender to superior numbers. Col. Gurney, 127th N. Y. Regiment, the commanding officer of Morris Island who was charged with sending the expedition and whose presence during the landing may have prevented the retreat, did not accompany it. He, along with Capt. Weed, Lieuts. Farr, Moses and Hollingsworth of the 52d Pa. Regt., were among those most wanting in decision and determination. The officers of 127th N. Y. Regt. showed better discipline and among them were Capts. Henry and Weston and Lieuts. Little and Abercombie. The order is by command of Major-General J. G. Foster and signed by W. L. M. Burger, Assistant Adjutant General.

Cooper, George E.Letter : (Coles Island, South Carolina) to Peter Tallman (Rockland County, New York), 1843.
Description:    1 item
Abstract:    Letter, 7 November 1863, of Union soldier George E. Cooper written from Coles Island [near James Island in Charleston County, S.C.] to Peter Tallman in Spring Valley (Rockland County, N.Y.), a discharged member of the regiment, re camp life and health issues which included chronic diarrhea in a warm and inhospitable climate and apparently replies to a previous reference to Confederate sympathizers in the north. Cooper reports that he had suffered with the malady since Aug. 1st, due to the "bad unhealthey climate" with brackish water that oozes through the sand and "has a bad taste and smell," such that "those in the hospittle are not alowed to drink it" and instead "get it distilled by steam on the boats that lay here in around the islands." Sgt. Daniel S. Velsor was suffering from the same complaint and another officer had been stricken with typhoid fever. In a postscript, Cooper expresses hope that the troops would soon be able to "come home and see you and spend our bounty and vote down Cop[p]e[r]heads" for "that is the only way to get them down."

Cusack, Thomas W. Thomas W. Cusack papers, 1861-1865.
Description:    47 items
Abstract:    Chiefly letters from Cusack in camps in Virginia, Maryland, and South Carolina, addressed to Frank D. Karr, a merchant with the firm of E.A. Hayt & Co. (of 361 Broadway, New York City). Also includes letters, 26 July - 28 Sept. 1861, to Karr from Union soldier James Nelson Hyatt, in Newport News, Va., and Henry A. Carpenter in Lowell, Mass. South Carolina places represented include Folly Island, Battery Wagner on Morris Island, Beaufort, Charleston, and Coles Island, where he commented on the proximity of Union and Confederate troops, exchanges of coffee and tobacco, and ensuring punishments for soldiers caught trading with the enemy (12 and 29 Sept. 1863). Letters of the Autumn 1863 discuss the death of Cusack's sister Mary in New York, and Cusack's request that Karr re-purchase family items that Mary had turned over to an undertaker as barter payment for her burial expenses, with references to demands by Cusack's father for money and Cusack's assessment that his father had not acted as a parent to his children. (3 Oct. 1863). During the Summer of 1864, Cusack's regiment participated in its heaviest fighting since coming South: a nine-page letter (4 July 1864) discusses the 127th's role in the ill-fated attack on Ft. Johnson, part of the abortive James Island offensive, while that of 12 Aug. 1864 argues that the blame lay with the officers in command; topics discussed include the presidential election; sporting events; camp life; celebrations honoring July 4th and George Washington's birthday; supplies and sales of tobacco; work as a nurse in a military hospital in Beaufort; and following Confederate surrender, interactions with a civilians in Charleston, a city in which Cusack reports all the women were "rank Rebels" (30 May 1865).

DeGroot, George Gordon, et al. George Gordon DeGroot papers, 1862-1866.
Description:    81 items
Abstract:    Civil War letters, 24 September 1862 to 10 November 1866, written by a Union soldier, describing battles and camp life in Virginia and lowcountry South Carolina for his family at home in Brooklyn (New York). At the time of his earliest letters, the 127th Infantry was stationed at Chain Bridge (northern corner of Arlington County, Virginia), across the Potomac River and upstream from Washington and Georgetown. The 127th Infantry Regiment saw little fighting during this time, spending most of their time drilling or foraging for supplies. In a letter dated 9 November 1862, DeGroot writes that "us boys tore down a nice house" so that they could have wood "to floor our tents with." DeGroot was weary of the drudgery of army life, writing in a letter dated 19 November 1862 that "a soldier is Uncle Sam's nigger, and it don't much matter where or what they do with them." By 16 January 1863, DeGroot had achieved the post of orderly sergeant, although his life went on much as before. His correspondence continues to dispel any romantic notions regarding army life among his family; letter, 11 February 1863: "Bill Murphy cut two of his fingers off with an axe. This is soldiering in reality." He believed he deserved an officer's commission because he thought himself "just the man to drill conscripts and niggers," but this commission does not seem to have materialized. Letter, 26 April 1863, DeGroot reports that his regiment captures "a few prisoners every day," as well as munitions, however, he rated it as no "great feat to capture a few half-starving men, and what belongs to us, as it seems the guns were captured from us at Bull Run." On 12 July 1864, DeGroot wrote from Frederick (Maryland) that his regiment had moved north to reinforce General George Gordon Meade, but the 127th was soon deployed to Charleston for the unsuccessful attempt by Union forces to retake Fort Sumter. DeGroot does not appear to have taken part in the attack, although his letter, 9 September 1863, observes that "the rampart and fort looks more like a badly damaged cheese than old Sumpter." Stationed near Charleston, DeGroot saw little combat in the months that followed; letter, 12 January 1864, contains a sketch of the front and back of his small "shanty" on Coles Island (Charleston County, S.C.). Two months later he was eager to get into battle, writing that "to run a rebel through with a bayonet is fun and I could do it with a clearer conscience than I could killing a pig." On 2 May 1864, he wrote that he had "nothing to do in the day time but sleep." He did, however "walk over to [Battery] Wagner, it is a splendid fort, and has bomb Proffs which will hold a garrison of 3000 men." He claimed that it was "impregnable," and included a small sketch of the fort. He described bodies strewn along the beach, and explained that he had "picked up several small bones of the human body outside the fort, which I will send to you with other relics if you will send stamps to send them with." By this time, DeGroot and the 127th Infantry Regiment had moved to Morris Island (S.C.), where DeGroot saw his first battle. In this disastrous amphibious assault on Fort Johnson (James Island, S.C.), DeGroot saw "a much better chance for our lives and victory besides in landing than to row through their heavy fire against the tide with the name of defeat besides." Letter, 3 September 1864, tells of a severe illness that ultimately resulted in a furlough. By 29 November 1864 he wrote from Beaufort (S.C.) that he was "down in Dixie again and feel[ing] quite well." Over the next month he fought in the battles of Honey Hill and Tulifinny [both at sites now located in Jasper County, S.C.]. He was wounded in the latter battle and never fully recovered. He died 13 January 1865 at a military hospital on Hilton Head Island (S.C.). The collection also includes several letters, presumably to DeGroot, from his friend Alexander J. Fisher of the 127th Infantry Regiment; a letter from DeGroot's friend William H. Newberry, also of the 127th Infantry Regiment, discusses the return of personal items to DeGroot's wife after his death.

The company is now rapidly filling up under the auspices of several of the most prominent and energetic of our citizens, and bids fair to equal in the character of its men, and facilities for seeing service, any company yet enrolled. The members pledge themselves to avoid, so far as possible, the prominent sources of immorality and discord unsually connected with camp life, and when they become soldiers not to forget their obligations as gentlemen. The bounties, public and private, equal those offered by any other organization. Recruits mustered in at once, and go into quarters in one of the most beautiful locations on Staten Island. ...

Huey, Pennock. Pennock Huey letter dated September 6, 1864.
Abstract:    Letter dated September 6, 1864 from Colonel Pennock Huey, prisoner of war, Roper (Hospital) Military Prison, Charleston, South Carolina, to his father, Jacob Huey, Hamorton, Chester County, Pennsylvania. In this one-page letter (pages 2 and 3 are the front and back of the envelope) Colonel Huey says he is doing as well as can be expected and looks forward to receiving a small box with articles of clothing and medicine requested earlier. He asks his father to obtain a bill of exchange in his name from England so he can draw on it to buy supplies. At the end of the letter he gives his full address as Charleston, South Carolina (Hilton Head), care of Wm. J. Gayer, Provost Marshal. On the back of the envelope is the name of the agent of exchange, Stewart L. Woodford, Lieutenant Colonel, 127 NYV (127th New York Volunteers). (Editor's note: Although during the war England was officially neutral, its colony in Nassau traded with the South for cotton and other contraband materials, some of which even came from the Northern states. English money was, therefore, as useful in the South as was Confederate money for a Northern prisoner and could be legally obtained by a Northern prisoner's relatives, which is what Pennock Huey is asking his father to do.)
