"1862: All hell breaks loose."

 Lecture and field program conducted by Joe Mieczkowski, Licensed Battlefield Guide. Sponsored by the Gettysburg Foundation.

War in the East, 1862: Following the defeat at Bull Run, Gen. George McClellan was given command of the new Union Army of the Potomac which he shifted the army south to attack Richmond via the Peninsula. He was defeated and forced to retreat after the Seven Days Battles. This campaign saw the rise of Robert E. Lee to the command of Confederate forces in the East. Shortly thereafter, a second Union army was defeated by Lee at the Second Battle of Bull Run.

Gettysburg National Military Park

1195 Baltimore Pike, Suite 100
Gettysburg, PA 17325

 717/ 334-1124 x 8023. In September, McClellan met Lee at Antietam on the 17th and failed to achieve a decisive victory. The win at Antietam permitted Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the South and altered the Union’s war aims. Lincoln replaced McClellan with Burnside who was beaten at Fredericksburg and replaced by Gen. Joseph Hooker.


War in the West, 1862: In February 1862, Gen. U. S. Grant’s forces captured Forts Henry & Donelson. Two months later he defeated a Confederate army at Shiloh, TN. On April 29, Union naval forces captured New Orleans. To the east, Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg attempted to invade Kentucky, but was repelled at Perryville on October 8 and beaten again in December at Stones River, TN. Grant now focused his attention on capturing Vicksburg and opening the Mississippi River.
The field portion will connect people and events from 1862 with the Gettysburg Battlefield.

"1862: All hell breaks loose."

 Lecture and field program conducted by Joe Mieczkowski, Licensed Battlefield Guide. Sponsored by the Gettysburg Foundation.

War in the East, 1862: Following the defeat at Bull Run, Gen. George McClellan was given command of the new Union Army of the Potomac which he shifted the army south to attack Richmond via the Peninsula. He was defeated and forced to retreat after the Seven Days Battles. This campaign saw the rise of Robert E. Lee to the command of Confederate forces in the East. Shortly thereafter, a second Union army was defeated by Lee at the Second Battle of Bull Run.

Gettysburg, PA 17325

 717/ 334-1124 x 8023. In September, McClellan met Lee at Antietam on the 17th and failed to achieve a decisive victory. The win at Antietam permitted Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the South and altered the Union’s war aims. Lincoln replaced McClellan with Burnside who was beaten at Fredericksburg and replaced by Gen. Joseph Hooker.


War in the West, 1862: In February 1862, Gen. U. S. Grant’s forces captured Forts Henry & Donelson. Two months later he defeated a Confederate army at Shiloh, TN. On April 29, Union naval forces captured New Orleans. To the east, Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg attempted to invade Kentucky, but was repelled at Perryville on October 8 and beaten again in December at Stones River, TN. Grant now focused his attention on capturing Vicksburg and opening the Mississippi River.
The field portion will connect people and events from 1862 with the Gettysburg Battlefield.
