17th CT Volunteers

Warren heard one volley, followed closely by another, and recalled that he was:"...not surprised, it was evident an attack "...not surprised, it was evident an attack was imminent.

Sergeant Rufus Buttery of Company A

"As the rebels came out of the woods they had to come over a level clear lot, and as that traitor flag came out of the woods. a thrill ran through my veins, and I waited for the bearer of it to get near enough for my shot to reach him, about that time we had the order to fire. I drew as close a sight on him as I knew how, and that rebel fell with many others..."

As regiment after regiment began to give way under the overwhelming Confederate forces, the situation for the Seventeenth was becoming critical. Still holding his position in the Talley garden, Lt. Peck saw a signal officer rip the signal flags down, mount his horse and ride quickly away, as did several other couriers and staff officers at the Talley house. To the rear of the right wing, the left wing under Major Brady was having problems of its own.

Private Justus Silliman of Co. H, part of the left wing supporting the remaining four guns of Dieckman's Battery, also recalled seeing the exodus from the Talley house as the attack began.

"...some of our gunners tried to get their "...some of our gunners tried to get their guns into position to sweep the rebels, guns into position to sweep the rebels, but were unable to. The rebels had but were unable to. The rebels had excellent range of the road but most of excellent range of the road but most of their missiles passed over our heads as their missiles passed over our heads as we lay close. Some of them killed a we lay close. Some of them killed a battery horse..."battery horse..."

Page 17: THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE REMEMBER? Stonewall Jackson and his men launched a surprise attack on Hooker’s Union Army… The 11 th Corps was the first

Unable to bring their guns to bear on the advancing Confederates without firing into the retreating soldiers of von Gilsa's retreating troops, the artillery men harnessed their horses and awaited orders. Justus Silliman wrote:

"...presently our two picket "...presently our two picket guns came dashing in and guns came dashing in and being unable to get in position, being unable to get in position, limbered up and started off."limbered up and started off."

Page 18: THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE REMEMBER? Stonewall Jackson and his men launched a surprise attack on Hooker’s Union Army… The 11 th Corps was the first

The sudden withdrawal of the battery seemed to present Major Brady with a difficult problem. Private Silliman continued:

“The Major was some excited, said he did not know what to do as he had no orders. We had been placed there to support the batteries but they had left us. The rebels were on our flank so we could neither change front our return their fire."

Page 19: THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE REMEMBER? Stonewall Jackson and his men launched a surprise attack on Hooker’s Union Army… The 11 th Corps was the first

Major Brady, standing with outspoken Captain James Moore of Warren's own Company C, told Moore that he could not give any orders, as the Colonel and Lt. Colonel at the Talley house had given him no orders.

Private Warren watched as :"...the left wing stood while the enemy came nearer...Captain Moore told Major Brady that if he wouldn't give any orders then he [Moore] would..."

Page 20: THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE REMEMBER? Stonewall Jackson and his men launched a surprise attack on Hooker’s Union Army… The 11 th Corps was the first

Said Private Silliman:

"...they had nearly reached the house when "...they had nearly reached the house when he ordered us to make for the woods. His he ordered us to make for the woods. His order was promptly obeyed though few order was promptly obeyed though few started before the order was given. Many of started before the order was given. Many of us stuck to the major however as he made us stuck to the major however as he made about as good time as any of us through about as good time as any of us through the woods..."the woods..."

MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE TALLEY MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE TALLEY GARDEN….GARDEN….

“Back in the garden, the right wing of the 17th was unaware of the retreat of Major Brady's wing. After firing off two volleys, it was apparent that it was about to be overrun. Lt. Colonel Walter, lying to the rear of Company E behind the garden fence stood and gave the order to retreat to Captain Douglas Fowler of Company A. Then Walter raised his hand to his head and fell to the ground. He was killed instantly, shot through the left eye.”

Page 22: THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE REMEMBER? Stonewall Jackson and his men launched a surprise attack on Hooker’s Union Army… The 11 th Corps was the first

Despite the order to retreat, some men had gotten so caught up in the fight that they never heard the order given. Wrote Sergeant Buttery: "After fighting some time, I looked around to see how things were going on, and to my surprise, there were only three or four of us in the garden. I had heard no order to fall back. All All I heard was one of the men saying, "We will have to fall back," and I told him that we could hold our ground."

Sergeant Buttery fired one more shot, then ran towards the Turnpike, where he was captured by a Confederate officer.

Private Charles Pendleton was still at the fence, firing at the Confederate troops, possibly the last soldier of the Seventeenth to remain at his post. Pendleton was wounded and captured in the garden shortly after.

For the soldiers who did hear the order to retreat, the decision to stay and fight or retreat was sometimes difficult. Private Hiram Bishop, also of Company A and one of the "three or four" remaining in the garden, thought: "...to stay was death, to go the same..."

Page 24: THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE REMEMBER? Stonewall Jackson and his men launched a surprise attack on Hooker’s Union Army… The 11 th Corps was the first

Private Bishop finally decided that he would run for it, but was captured near the corner of the Talley house. He managed to escape, and ran through the woods. As he did so, an artillery shell hit a nearby tree, and Private Bishop was wounded by a large limb that fell on him.

Only 20 minutes after Private George Wood of Company C had told Private William Warren the artillery fire was "nothing", the entire division of General Devens was in shambles and in full retreat. George Wood would spend the next two weeks as a Confederate prisoner.

Page 25: THE BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE REMEMBER? Stonewall Jackson and his men launched a surprise attack on Hooker’s Union Army… The 11 th Corps was the first

General Howard stood among the panic stricken troops of Devens division. Holding a flag dropped by retreating troops, he tried with all his might to head off the flight, and rally his troops. Some of those troops did indeed heed General Howard's pleas, falling into the lines now being held by the troops of General Schurz's 3rd Division.

"Rally around the flag, Seventeenth!".

The stand here was brief...Private Silliman wrote that:

“We were again broken by one of our batteries driving through us, so the Major ordered us to occupy the rifle pits...our own men came rushing over the rifle pit onto our bayonetsbayonets and the rifle pit was so crowded that we could do nothing. The right of the rifle pit was first vacated and we left soon after."

Private John Lewis, Company D wrote:"As I was running, the Rebel balls came around me "As I was running, the Rebel balls came around me like hail stones and I thought I should have to be taken like hail stones and I thought I should have to be taken prisoner. I was completely exhausted from running so prisoner. I was completely exhausted from running so far so I got down behind a large pine tree to keep from far so I got down behind a large pine tree to keep from getting shot. I had no sooner got behind the tree when getting shot.

By 9 PM that portion of the XI Corps that could be was rallied and formed to the left and right of General Hiram Berry's divison of the III Corps. As artillery shells crashed about, the expected attack on the remnants of the XI Corps did not occur, and the weary, demoralized soldiers were withdrawn well to the rear of Chancellor House.

For the Seventeenth, their first combat was disastrous, the result of bungled leadership at the brigade, divisional and corps level.

When news of the battle spread, reporters wrote When news of the battle spread, reporters wrote of the shameful retreat and cowardly rout of the of the shameful retreat and cowardly rout of the Eleventh Corps. They got all of the blame for the Eleventh Corps. They got all of the blame for the events at Chancellorsville. Because they were events at Chancellorsville.
