Palestinian push for statehood jeopardizes US aid
DONNA CASSATA | September 19, 2011 04:23 AM EST |
WASHINGTON — The Palestinian Authority and President Mahmoud Abbas have repeatedly been warned: Pursue statehood recognition at the United Nations and risk losing millions of dollars in U.S. aid.
For months, congressional Republicans and Democrats have threatened to cut off some $500 million in economic and security assistance to the Palestinians if they defy the United States and Israel by seeking statehood. The Americans and Israelis prefer negotiations between the sides leading to a two-state solution. Congress' forceful message has been delivered in letters to Abbas, through overwhelming bipartisan votes on resolutions and in fierce rhetoric.
"Current and future aid will be jeopardized if you abandon direct negotiations and continue your efforts," Reps. Kay Granger, R-Texas, chairwoman of the House Appropriations foreign operations subcommittee, and Nita Lowey of New York, the panel's top Democrat, wrote to Abbas this summer, echoing a plea they made to the Palestinian leader in an April letter.
Now, faced with Abbas' pronouncement that he will ask the U.N. Security Council on Friday to back his statehood bid, angry lawmakers may exercise power the one way Congress can – by withholding Palestinian aid.
"The United States will reconsider its assistance program for the Palestinian Authority and other aspects of U.S.-Palestinian relations if they choose to pursue such a unilateral effort," 58 House Democrats said in a letter to European leaders imploring them to vote against Palestinian statehood and stand with the United States.
"A unilateral declaration of independence is simply rejectionism by another name . it takes away any motivation from the Palestinians to negotiate and deal with good faith with Israel," Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said Friday in a conference call with reporters sponsored by the Hudson Institute and Touro College.
Chabot also pressed for a GOP-led effort to slash or withhold U.S. dues to the United Nations.[1]

Palestinians aren't ready for peace
National Post · Sept. 12, 2011 | Last Updated: Sept. 12, 2011 5:11 AM ET
Media coverage of the proposed Palestinian unilateral declaration of independence has largely focused on the legal and political implications of this, a gambit which is unlikely to succeed.
Yet, obstacles such as a lack of effective control over the territory in question (which is a legal prerequisite for statehood), the promised Security Council veto by the United States, the General Assembly's lack of authority to create a state, the violation of prior peace agreements, as well as Israel's right to make its own unilateral declarations, make it clear that the UN manoeuvre will not change the living arrangements of the Palestinian Arabs the day after a declaration. The Palestinian leadership would need to negotiate directly with Israel to achieve what it wishes to accomplish through the UN. Nevertheless, a unilateral declaration is indeed significant. It serves as an example of the Palestinian leadership's chronic failure to prepare the Palestinian Arab people for peace.
For decades, Israelis have been told by their leadership that they need to exchange land for peace. This led to Israel's complete withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip (one Jew remains since 2006, the hostage Gilad Shalit) and from land in Lebanon and the West Bank. Although these actions turned Gaza and Lebanon into forward bases of terror, Israeli leaders continue to advocate land for peace. And Israelis are still willing to accept this paradigm since polls show they support negotiating most of the strategically vital, historical and religiously sacred Judea and Samaria - known since 1948 as the West Bank. Twenty years ago, ceding this biblical land first mentioned in the Book of Joshua, was a concession too difficult for Israelis to contemplate.
While Israel's leadership has pre-pared its people for peace, the Palestinians have been hearing a very different message from their leaders. Instead of advocating conciliation, Palestinian leaders from Arafat to Abbas have instead promoted a culture of daily incitement against Israel. From naming public squares and children's summer camps after terrorists, to putting currently imprisoned Israeli and Palestinian Arabs convicted of terror crimes on the Palestinian Authority payroll, to denying the existence of Israel and the Holocaust in Palestinian school textbooks, the Palestinian Authority incites its youth to glorify terrorists and teaches a distorted historical narrative of the region which is antithetical to peace. The PA's denial of Israel's religious and historical connection to the land of Israel, whether through lobbying for Rachel's Tomb to be declared a mosque or by proclaiming of one of Judaism's holiest sites, the Western Wall, to be a revered Islamic site defiled by Jews, educates Palestinian children in intolerance and misinformation.
Rather than telling Palestinians they too have to make painful concessions for peace, its leadership advises its people to demand the "right of return" of Palestinian refugees and their descendants to Israel proper, as opposed to a future Palestinian State. Numbered at approximately 5 million, this would make Israel a Palestinianmajority state or what is termed a one-state solution. While this demand is clearly unacceptable for any sovereign country, it is a non-negotiable demand for the Palestinian leadership. And it explains why Abbas cannot say clearly and unequivocally that he recognizes a Jewish state.
Palestinians have paid attention to their leader, as a recent poll shows Palestinians support a two-state solution only as a first step to a one-state solution. Yet, their leadership has not paid attention to its own people: only 4% of Palestinians identify a unilateral statehood bid as a priority. Eighty percent want a priority to be placed on the creation of new jobs, according to a recent poll sponsored by the Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research with the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion on behalf of the Israel Project. Rather than prepare his people for compromise, Abbas instead harms prospects for peace and assault's Israel's legitimacy.
Undue focus by the media on the legal or political consequences of the upcoming unilateral declaration of independence would miss the point of Abbas' UN gambit: The unilateral declaration seeks to forestall recognition of the Jewish state, circumvent negotiations, escalate tension and assault Israel's legitimacy. To that end, Abbas promises: "It would also pave the way for us to pursue claims against Israel at the United Nations, human rights treaty bodies and the International Court of Justice."
Until the Palestinian Arabs acquire responsible leadership willing to negotiate in good faith, end incitement of terror and educate their children to live in peace side by side with Israelis, then dignity and the hope of a better future for Israelis and Arabs will, along with peace, remain elusive.

September 19, 1771: Captain Crawford arrived back at Washington’s place. Mary “Polly”, daughter born to Ann Connell. [1][2]
September 19, 1777
The most decisive employment of American riflemen came in 1777, when British Gen. John Burgoyne invaded from Canada with a force of 6,000 British, Hessisians, Tories and Indians that threatened to cut away New England along the Hudson River Valley. Spearheanding Burgoyne’s invaders were Indian scout and a special sharpshooter unit, Capt. Alexander Fraser’s Compasny of Select Marksmen. Chosen “for their strength, ability and being expert at the firing of ball,” their mission was, “to act on the flanks of the advance brigade and reingorce by what number of Indians the Genreal may think fit to employ.”
Unfortunately for the British, their marksmen more than met their match with a newly organized Continental Army unit. By 1777, Gen. Washington had fielded enough smoothbore-armed infantry regiment to afford the luxury of a separate rifle regiment, led by a dynamic, resourceful officer, Col. Daniel Morgan. Although officially designated the 1st Continental Regiment, their armament inspired the nickname, “Morgan’s Kentucky Riflemen.” As Burgoyne’s army descended into New York, these 500 backwoods sharpshooters advanced to meet them. At everyt turn, from every hillock, Morgan’s concealed shooters plinked away, whittling away the invading army’s eyes and ears, It was the stuff of legends.
The riflemen nesxt targeted the Redcoat officer corps. As Gen. Burgoyne later wrote “The [Americans] had with their army great numbers of marksmen, armed with rifle-barrel pieces, these, during an engagement, hovered upon the flanks in small detachments, and were very expert in securing themselves and inn shifting ground…there was seldom a minute’s interval of smoke in any part of our line without officers being taken off by a single shot.”
As the British neared Saratoga on September 19, 1777, for the first time a unit composed solely of riflemen fought a pitched battle against musket-armed European infantry. On favorable terrain, Morgan’s Kentuchy Riflemen so soundly defeated Burgoyne’s 62nd Regiment that by the end of the day, the British could muster just one company for duty. Of 48 artillerymen in one battery, Morgan’s sharpshooters killed or wounded all bgut 12. A british officer wrote,
“The only shelter afforded to the troops was from those angles which faced the enemy as the others were so exposed that we had several men killed and wounded by the riflemen, who were posted in trees.” [3]

* The Farewell Address first appeared in Ciaypoole's American Daily
Advertiser for September 19, 1796.
"The end of the same year [1796] witnessed the resignation of the
presidency of the United States of America by General Washington, and
his voluntary retirement into private life. Modern history has not a more spotless character to commemorate. Invincible in resolution, firm in conduct, incorruptible in integrity, he brought to the helm of a victorious republic the simplicity and innocence of rural life ; he was forced into greatness by circumstances rather than led into it by inclination, and prevailed over his enemies rather by the wisdom of his designs, and the perseverance of his character, than by any extraordinary genius for the art of war. A soldier from necessity and patriotism rather than disposition, he
was the first to recommend a return to pacific counsels when the independence of his country was secured ; and bequeathed to his countrymen an address on leaving their government, to which there are few compositions of uninspired wisdom which can bear a comparison. He was modest without diffidence ; sensible to the voice of fame without vanity ; independent and dignified without either asperity or pride. He was a friend to liberty, but not to licentiousness — not to the dreams of enthusiasts, but to those practical ideas which America had inherited from her British descent, and which were opposed to nothing so much as the extravagant love of power in the French democracy. Accordingly, after having signalized his life by a successful resistance to English oppression, he closed it by the warmest advice
to cultivate the friendship of Great Britain ; and exerted his whole influence, shortly before his resignation, to effect the conclusion of a treaty of friendly and commercial intercourse between the mother country and its emancipated offspring. He was a Cromwell without his ambition ; a Sylla without his crimes ; and after having raised his country, by his exertions, to the rank of an independent state, he closed his career by a voluntary relinquishment of the power which a grateful people had bestowed." — Archiba.ld Alisoit.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1793: At Philadelphia : " If I had words that could convey to
you an adequate idea of my feelings on the present situation
of the Marquis de Lafayette, this letter would appear to
you in a different garb. The sole object in writing to you
now is, to inform you that I have deposited in the hands of
Mr. Mcholas Van Staphorst, of Amsterdam, two thousand
three hundred and ten guilders, Holland currency, equal to
two hundred guineas, subject to your orders.
" This sum is, I am certain, the least I am indebted for
services rendered to me by the Marquis de Lafayette, of
which I never yet have received the account." — Washington
to the Marchioness de Lafayette.
The Marquis de Lafayette, who on the declaration of war by France
against Austria (April 20, 1792) was in command of the Army of the
Centre, fifty-two thousand strong, was at his camp at Maubeuge at the time
of the insurrection of June 20, 1792. Having denounced the dangerous
policy of the Jacobins, and refusing, after the revolution of August 10, to
obey the orders of the Assembly, he was removed from the command and
his impeachment decided upon. He fled into Belgium, was taken prisoner
by the Austrians, and handed over by them to tke Prussians, by whom he
was imprisoned first at Wesel, and afterward (March, 1793) at Magde-
burg. The marchioness was retained a prisoner at Paris, but was subse-
quently permitted to live on the family estate in Auvergne (Chavaniac),
under the responsibility of the municipality of the village.
After a year's incarceration at Magdeburg, Lafayette was transferi-ed to
Austria (May, 1794) for safe-keeping, and passed three years and more in a loathsome dungeon at Olmutz, where he was treated with barbarous cruelty. With much difficulty, his wife and two daughters, Anastasie and Virginia, got permission in October, 1796, to share his captivity. Much
sympathy was felt for him in the United States and in England. In Par-
liament, Fox, Wilberforce, and Sheridan were active in his behalf, and
"Washington wrote (May 15, 1796) to the emperor, Francis II., asking that he might be allowed to come on parole to the United States. He was at length set free, September 19, 1797, by the victories of Bonaparte. [9]

That winter Gen. Early dispersed the men of the 18th Cav to their home counties and in January-February 1865 the 18th did not act as a unified force. It was called together again when Sheridan moved up the Valley, but was unable to assemble before Early’s defeat at Waynesboro (March 2, 1865). The 18th performed scouting and picket duty in the central Valley in March. After Lee’s surrender in April, members of the 18th, individually and in small groups, surrendered at Winchester and Moorefield and received their paroles.[11]

Godloves in Third Battle of Winchester
© James Funkhouser
On September 19, 1864, units of Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan’s Army of the Shenandoah moved west along the Berryville Pike in the initial assault of the Third Battle of Winchester. Although this battle ultimately was a Union victory, this initial thrust was met with ferocious resistance from the forces of the Confederate Army of the Valley, commanded by Lt. General Jubal Early, and the Federals were repulsed with heavy losses. Among those seriously wounded that afternoon was a 21-year-old private in the 24th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, Samuel Godlove, whose unit had been assigned to Sheridan only in August. Samuel was the son of Adam Godlove of Washington County, Iowa, formerly of Perry County, Ohio, and Hardy County, Virginia.
While the Union forces on the Berryville Pike were launching their assault and later while they were pushed back, Union troops advanced from the north and engaged Confederate cavalry near Bunker Hill in Berkeley County, twelve miles north of Winchester. Among these was the 18th Virginia Cavalry, a unit with a sizeable number of men from Hardy County. In a battle that lasted over seven hours, the badly outnumbered Confederate units were pushed back to Winchester. The 18th Cavalry suffered about 40 casualties. Among the wounded was Private Joseph Godlove, Adam’s nephew, the son of his brother Francis of Wardensville. Joseph survived his wound; his older brother Isaac, in the same company, was unhurt. Both lived into the twentieth century
On October 14, twenty-five days after the Third Battle of Winchester, Samuel Godlove died from his wounds. He is buried in the National Cemetery in Winchester. Samuel was the last of Adam’s children to be born in Ohio, the year before his family’s move to Iowa. He died and was buried twenty-five miles from the place of his father’s birth.[18][19]

September 19, 1864
The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great Civil War testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated,[5][16]
can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might lie. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate…we can not consecrate…we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, he consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vane--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.[6][17]
September 19, 1881: Failed lawyer amnd office seeker Charles Guiteau, convinced that new president James Garfield would be the ruin of the Republican Party, shoots him in the back and arm in a Washington, D.C. train station July 2, 1881. Garfield, his injuries aggravated by unsanitary care, dies September 19. Calling hyis act a “political necessity,” Guiteau pleads insanity but is convicted. He is hanged June 30, 1882.[22]
September 1909: With the success of Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell set up a central Boy Scouts office, which registered new Scouts and designed a uniform. By the end of 1908, there were 60,000 Boy Scouts, and troops began springing up in British Commonwealth countries across the globe. In September 1909, the first national Boy Scout meeting was held at the Crystal Palace in London. Ten thousand Scouts showed up, including a group of uniformed girls who called themselves the Girl Scouts. In 1910, Baden-Powell organized the Girl Guides as a separate organization.
The American version of the Boy Scouts has it origins in an event that occurred in London in 1909. Chicago publisher William Boyce was lost in the fog when a Boy Scout came to his aid. After guiding Boyce to his destination, the boy refused a tip, explaining that as a Boy Scout he would not accept payment for doing a good deed. This anonymous gesture inspired Boyce to organize several regional U.S. youth organizations, specifically the Woodcraft Indians and the Sons of Daniel Boone, into the Boy Scouts of America. Incorporated on February 8, 1910, the movement soon spread throughout the country. In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts of America in Savannah, Georgia.
In 1916, Baden-Powell organized the Wolf Cubs, which caught on as the Cub Scouts in the United States, for boys under the age of 11. Four years later, the first international Boy Scout Jamboree was held in London, and Baden-Powell was acclaimed Chief Scout of the world. He died in 1941.[23] Robert Baden-Powell was not a Freemason according to Masonic records. The compiler was an Eagle Scout and is also a Freemason.
April to September 1915: Just a year or so before the organization of the Modern Klan an event took place of the very first importance in its influence upon the Northern sentiment toward the Klan, namesly, the production of David W. Griffith’s great moving picture, “The Birth of a Nation.” It is simply impossible to estimate the educative effect of this film masterpiece upon public sentiment. It is probable that the great majority of adult Americans have at one time or another seen this film. In the Boston theaters, where it was admitted only after a bitter fight that served merely to advertise it, the picture was shown twice daily from April to September 1915, to a total of almost four hundred thousand spectators. It broke the records in Boston and New York and in other large cities. That the modern Klan recognized the advertising value of “The Birth of a Nation” seems to be indicated in the proposal to make use of a moving picture as part of the Klan propaganda which “shows the hooded figures of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan riding to the rescue, and prortrays the final triumph of decent and orderly governemtn by real Americans over the alien influences now at work in our midst.” [24]
September 1918
12,000 people die of influenza in the United States. [25]
Children’s Lymric
“I had a little bird and his name was Enza, I hope I don’t get the Influenza.”[26]
September 1938: It is also no coincidence that when Juan Negrin, head of the Republican government, announced in September 1938 the unilateral withdrawal of the International Brigades from Spain for diplomatic reasons, the Botwin Company formed the rear guard of the troops as they withdraw across the border into France. Jewish participation in the Spanish Civil War put to a lie the assertion that Jews are by nature "timid and non-combative... that Jews did not resist the Nazi murderers because... submission is in their national character." When the first shots of World War II were fired, in the prologue of that ghastly war, Jews were not only present in overwhelming numbers, but they incontrovertibly proved their heroism.
September 1939: The Luftwaffe was configured to serve as a crucial part of the German blitzkrieg, or "lightning war"--the deadly military strategy developed by General Heinz Guderian. As German panzer divisions burst deep into enemy territory, lethal Luftwaffe dive-bombers would decimate the enemy's supply and communication lines and cause panic. By the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, the Luftwaffe had an operational force of 1,000 fighters and 1,050 bombers.
First Poland and then Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, and France fell to the blitzkrieg. After the surrender of France, Germany turned the Luftwaffe against Britain, hoping to destroy the RAF in preparation for a proposed German landing. However, in the epic air battle known as the Battle of Britain, the outnumbered RAF fliers successfully resisted the Luftwaffe, relying on radar technology, their new, highly maneuverable Spitfire aircraft, bravery, and luck. For every British plane shot down, two German warplanes were destroyed. In the face of British resistance, Hitler changed strategy in the Battle of Britain, abandoning his invasion plans and attempting to bomb London into submission. However, in this campaign, the Luftwaffe was hampered by its lack of strategic, long-range bombers, and in early 1941 the Battle of Britain ended in failure.
Britain had handed the Luftwaffe its first defeat. Later that year, Hitler ordered an invasion of the USSR, which after initial triumphs turned into an unqualified disaster. As Hitler stubbornly fought to overcome Russia's bitter resistance, the depleted Luftwaffe steadily lost air superiority over Europe in the face of increasing British and American air attacks. By the time of the D-Day invasion of Normandy in June 1944, the Luftwaffe air fleet was a skeleton of its former self.[27]
September 19, 1941: The Jews in the Reich are required to wear the yellow badge in public.[28]
September 19, 1941: Kiev is captured by Germans; 10,000 Jews have been killed in Zhitomir.[29]
• September 1942: “At one time, the Jews of Germany laughed about my prophecies. I do not know whether they are still laughing or whether they have already lost all desire to laugh. But right now I can only repeat: they will stop laughing everywhere, and I shall be right also in that prophecy.”[30]

Hi. The exhibit buillding at the Central City Fairgrounds is handicapped accessible, but not air conditioned. There is a kitchen. It rents for $200 and could be reserved now.
The American Legion building in Central City rents for $500; I think that's too pricey although it has a/c, kitchen, and accessibility.
The Falcon Center (community building) will hold about 120 persons. It is handicapped-accessible, has air conditioning and a kitchen. It rents for $150 and could also be reserved now.
I don't know how these compare with the lodge at Pinicon Ridge. If any of these sound like an option, let me know and I can visit the facilities and proceed with getting a date.
What are your thoughts about Memorial Day weekend? It's a least a long weekend for those who need to travel and not as hot as later in the summer.
As ever,
Linda
Linda, Thanks for checking on all of this. If air conditioning is a factor I suppose the Falcon center sounds reasonable. Do you know how many were at the last Reunion? Is the Falcon Center in Central City? Memorial Weekend is not particularly great for me but its not a deal breaker either. Maybe we could get some input from others. Jeff

Our subject Robert Craig was married to Miss Sarah Godlove in 1841, in Perry County, Ohio; she was the daughter of Adam and Susannah (Tattman) Godlove), the former was born in Virginia, and his wife in Maryland. They were married and lived in Ohio, where they were early settlers of Perry County. They reared the following children: Sarah, Josiah, Bartholomew, Lizzie, Samuel, Catherine, Mary, Maggie and Benjamin, all of whom were born in Ohio. John was born in Iowa after the family came to this State in 1843.
Samuel was a soldier in the 10th Iowa, and enlisted at the beginning of the war. He fell at the battle Winchester, pierced by seventeen balls. The family moved to Iowa with teams, and settled on a small farm west of Yatton. There was only one log house there at that date, and it has long since been torn down.

[16] Third Battle of Winchester
On September 19, 1864, units of Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan’s Army of the Shenandoah moved west along the Berryville Pike in the initial assault of the Third Battle of Winchester. Although this battle ultimately was a Union victory, this initial thrust was met with ferocious resistance from the forces of the Confederate Army of the Valley, commanded by Lt. General Jubal Early, and the Federals were repulsed with heavy losses. Among those seriously wounded that afternoon was a 21-year old private in the 24th Iowa Volunteer Infantry, Samuel Godlove, whose unit had been assigned to Sheridan only in August. Samuel was the son of Adam Godlove of Washington County, Iowa, formerly of Perry County, Ohio, and Hardy County, Virginia.
While the Union forces on the Berryville Pike were launching their assault and later while they were pushed back, Union troops advanced from the north and engaged Confederate cavalry near Bunker Hill in Berkeley County. Among these was the 18th Virginia Cavalry, a unit with a sizeable number of men from Hardy County. In a battle that lasted over seven hours, the badly outnumbered Confederate units were pushed back to Winchester. The 18th Cavalry suffered about 40 casualties. Among the wounded was Private Joseph Godlove, Adam’s nephew, the son of his brother Francis of Wardensville. Joseph survived his wound; his older brother Isaac, in the same company, was unhurt. Both lived into the twentieth century
On 14 October, twenty-five days after the Third Battle of Winchester, Samuel Godlove died from his wounds. He was buried in the National Cemetery in Winchester. Samuel was the last of Adam’s children to be born in Ohio, the year before his family’s move to Iowa. He died and was buried just twenty-seven miles from the place of his father’s birth.[16]

[17] Headquarter Twenty-Fourth Iowa. Infantry Volunteer, Camp Russell, VA., Nov. 19, 1864.
Colonel: I have the honor to submit the following report of the art taken by the Twenty-fourth Regiment of Iowa infantry Volunteers in the battle of Opequon, or Winchester, Va., Sept. 19, 1864. The regiment was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel J. Q. Wilds, but circumstances beyond his control prevented him from making an official report, prior to the battle of Cedar Creek, at which place he was severely wounded, and has since died; for this reason I take the responsibility of making it myself…
The Twenty-fourth Iowa, belonged to the Fourth Brigade, Second Division, Detachment Nineteenth Army Corps. The brigade consisting of the Eighth and Eighteenth Indiana Veteran Volunteers and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-eighth Iowa was commanded by Colonel D. Shunk of the Eighth Indiana, the division by Brigadier General C. Grover, the corps by Brevet Major General Emory. At 3 o’clock the advance sounded, and the Nineteenth Corps moved out on the Winchester Pike, halting about three miles west of Berryville, for the Sixth Corps, commanded by Major General Wright, to pass, as it was to have the advance. The Army of Western Virginia, under command of General Croc, moved by another road to the right. Shortly after sunrise, the Sixth Corps having passed, the Nineteenth Corps was put in motion. The Second Division, having the advance, arrived at Opequon Creek about 9 o’clock A.M., when heavy skirmishing and some cannonading was heard in the front, near Winchester. Here we received orders to push forward rapidly, as the cavalry and Sixth Corps were already engaged. When we had reached a point about three miles from Winchester, we turned to the right and moved in the direction of the Winchester and Martinsburg Pike about one mile, and formed the first line, and the Second and Fourth Brigades the second. The Twenty-fourth Iowa was on the left center. The Twenty-eighth Iowa on the left, Eighth Indiana on the right, Eighteenth Indiana on the right center, the Fourth Brigade being on the extreme right. Soon after, the First Division, Nineteenth Corps, commanded by General Dwight came up and formed in the rear as a reserve. In this position we remained until about 12m. when the advance sounded and the whole line moved forward steadily. The front of the whole division was covered by a strip of woodland, near a third of a mile wide. Beyond this woodland was an open field about one fourth of a mile wide, beyond which was woodland again. When the second line emerged into the open field, the first line was just entering the wood on the opposite side, having driven the enemy’s skirmishers across the open field, and were driving the enemy. The enemy, discovering that our right flank was unprotected, threw a heavy column of infantry, with one battery of artillery, around on our right, nearly at right angles with our lines, and kept them concealed in a deep hollow. In consequence of a flank fire from this column, the first line gave back and passed through the second, when about half way across the field. This created some confusion, but the line was soon in good shape again, and moving forward steadily.
When within one hundred yards of the woods, the column that had been thrown around on our right opened out with musketry and canister shot, (cast iron with no explosive. Used against cavalry, troops in a column, buildings, and other solid objects. More accurate than shell or spherical case with a longer range. (The 2010 Civil War Calendar)) showering the iron hail along and almost parallel with our ranks and mowing down our men by the score. As soon as the flank movement was discovered, the whole line was ordered to fall back to the woods, which was done in as good order as could be expected under the circumstances. The line was reformed and advanced about one fourth of the way across the field and halted, holding the enemy at bay until some troops could be thrown around to our right, as the enemy’s lines extended nearly half a mile to the right of ours. Up to this time the Twenty-fourth had had two officers mortally wounded, and two more severely:six enlisted men killed, and about thirty wounded. This line was held under a most destructive artillery fire from both the front and right flank for about two hours, when General Crook came up with the Army of Western Virginia and formed on the right, relieving the most of the Fourth Brigade. Captains Rigby, Smith and Martin, with Lieutenant Lucas, had been posted with their commands in a point of timber nearest the enemy, with orders to hold it at all hazards, and were not relieved. I had supplied them with ammunition, and when the fresh troops in making the final charge came up even with them, they moved forward with the line, which drove the enemy from every position taken until it became a perfect rout. In this last charge the Twenty-fourth lost a number of brave soldiers wounded, and one killed. After the Fourth Brigade was relieved (except as above mentioned) boxes were filled with ammunition, and it was moved to the extreme right in order to prevent any more flank movements of the enemy, but General Averill, coming in with his cavalry, rendered the movement entirely unnecessary. After the enemy was entirely routed and driven pell-mell from the field, the regiment was got together, and marched about two miles, and went into camp near Winchester, on the Front Royal Pike. Casualties during the day: Officers mortally wounded 2, severely, 4. Enlisted men killed, 9; wounded, 56; captured, 3. Total 74; a list of which is hereto appended. I cannot close this report without referring to Captain J. R. Gould, of Company D, and Lieutenant S. S. Dillman, of Company E, both having been mortally wounded while leading their men on in the hottest of the battle. Both were brave almost to rashness. In them the Twenty-fourth Iowa lost two valuable officers and society two valuable men.
I have the honor to be, most respectfully, Your Obedient Servant,
Ed Wright, Lieutenant Colonel Twenty-fourth Regiment, Iowa Infantry Volunteers. (Roster of Iowa Soldiers in the War of the Rebellion Vol. III, 24th Regiment-Infantry.

[20]It will be seen from the foregoing report that the Twenty-fourth Iowa had, in its first battle in the east, gloriously maintained its previous proud record, and had upheld the honor of its State while fighting beside the trained veterans of the Army of the Potomac. On the night on the 19th of September the regiment went into camp near Winchester.
