Hey, love the website but just wanted to point out a minor error in OOB for AofNV at Sharpsburg, in Pryors Brigade it was the 2nd, 5th, and 8th Florida. You have the 2nd, 5th, and 9th. Believe the 9th wasnt even organized till 1864? Thanks for your time, please keep up the good work! Charles

I can find lots of good OOB for the Maryland campaign and (inevitably) they focus on the battle of 17th September 1862 and from that we can infer commands at the South Mountain fights. The siege of Harper’s Ferry was also integral to that campaign and it is quite easy to find out the Confederate forces that conducted the siege. However, I can’t find anywhere an OOB of the Union troops captured. It was a very substantial force (the largest capture of US troops to occur until World War II). But who were they? Such a large force was commanded by only a Colonel Dixon S Miles. One would have expoected such a force to be udner at least a Brigadier-General and maybe even a Major-General. I have read that Brig-Gen Julius White arrived with his command from Martinsburg and deferred in his seniority to the local garrison commander. That suggests that there were no other general officers either… So, only one general for such a large force? There is plenty of information about the audacious escape of the 1,400 or so cavalry under Grimes Davis and Voss. But were the remaining 12,000 men who fell prisoner perhaps ancillary and logistics troops, stragglers, recruits, men separated from their units? How many were front-line combatants in organised commands and, if so, what were their commands? Maybe the numbers are large but their fighting power questionable? Who can tell me what Union commands were actaully bagged… I just can’t find out!

John,
You’re in luck. The Maps of Antietam, published by Savas Beatie, produced something like a dozen maps on the Siege of Harpers Ferry, many of them down to the regimental level. I can tell you right now that these were organized commands, but hadn’t seen much (any?) front line combat. In any event, if you purchase that book, you’ll have a complete list of the batteries and regiments which participated at Harpers Ferry from the Union side. You’ll also have one of the best Antietam books to ever come out.
Brett
