Clapp, George, fl. 1839-1892

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Parents

Just camped for the night. Feeling very tired. He and his friend John Banks decided to stop at 9:00 PM one night to get some rest while the army moved on. Found a good orchard to sleep in. Later caught up with the rest of the army at about 2:00 the next afternoon. "I believe it is decided to keep the 6th Corps here and not send them back to the Army of Potomac again." Knows they are worried about Sid, but is convinced he is fine. Thinks he will be exchanged sooner rather than later. Knows Grant cannot control everything "here, there, and everywhere. I never thought he was a supreme being."…

Title: [record of the wound that George Clapp suffered on 1864/09/19]

This document is a record of the wound that George Clapp suffered on 1864/09/19, which was a "right humerus shattered by mini ball." Shows that Clapp was discharged a year later and pensioned in September 1873.

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Parents

Does not know when he will be able to send his letters, for they are now over 50 miles from Harpers Ferry, the nearest supply station where he can send mail. His brigade was detached from the rest of the army and ordered to wait for the supply train. "Where we go next is beyond my imagination." General Sheridan has taken control of this part of the army. Hopes they will not move for some time so that they have time to rest. Does not see what good can come from the fact that "we have lost more men than we could by active campaigning." Wishes he could be with Sid. They should not wait to send…

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Parents

Clapp says Charles Town is in Virginia, but was mistaken. Received two letters from them yesterday. One also came with $1, socks, suspenders, and a handkerchief, all of which he appreciated greatly. Does not get mail as regularly as while at Petersburg. In "the last 48 hours… we had no sleep nor not a mouthful of food." Encountered some farm animals and killed them, but did not have much time to prepare and cook them. His brigade was sent back to Winchester, Virginia to wait for the supply train while the rest of the corps marched south. The supply train consists of over 3,000 wagons full of…

Title: to Parents

Will write quickly; the mail goes out in half an hour. Does not feel "in the best mood." At about 8:00 AM on the 21st, the Rebels attacked the army's pickets. The entire army scrambled into fighting position "as soon as possible." His company was marshaled into the skirmishers line. A few members of his company were mortally wounded. Was on picket duty when the Confederates attacked. Did not know Johnny Banks was wounded until he rejoined the company the day after the attack. "We fell back to this place and they followed us up closely all the time a fighting our rear guard of cavalry." Pratt…

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Parents

Got a letter from them dated 1864/08/21 last night. They write of not having received a letter from him in a long time, but does not know why his letters have not been delivered. Most of his letters have been short, "hurried" ones simply letting them know he was alright, but now will write a longer one. Saw that Metcalf died. Has made several raids into different cornfields and gardens for food. "The Army has stripped every corn field and potato patch they have been near in this valley and made perfect hogs of themselves." Thinks the war will end this fall. If they are not going to send the…

Title: to Parents

Just received a letter from them. Glad to know that everyone is well. Has moved farther up the valley since his last letter. During the march, the cavalry fought in front of them the whole way. The Confederates turned back upon discovering the main infantry column of the army, "so we escaped any fight with them." Has heard that much of the Rebel army in the area is on its way to Richmond. Thinks the war is about over in this part of the country. Has sent some papers home for them to read. Also sent an engraving of their winter quarters. His company's street was the first on the left side of…

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Parents

Would have sent the earlier letter sooner, but had to march the next day and therefore did not have time to mail it. Is now on picket for three days starting from last night. Elisha has not arrived yet. "The Johnnies are a not very great distance from us." Most of the fighting has involved cavalry, but was involved in "a little fight for 3 or 4 hours." Asks them to say hello to Mrs. Phillips for him. Does not need them to send him a new pen. News has been nothing but good for a couple of weeks now. Hopes the war will be over by winter. Would like to be at home for the election.
