Re: Maryland my Maryland: 4th Texas Rations

Gents,

I have made the decison to not do the funds increase starting July 1st. That's right, the ration payment will stay at $10.

There are a few reasons I am doing this. First is, we are only about 50% paid for rations in the battlion. Second is, there have been some late addations to the battalion or the word has been spread too slowly. I take the responisbility for this, and I want everyone to have an equal chance in sending their money in. Third and finally, the rations are big part of this adjunct. The staff is working really hard to make a menu that mimics the rations of the Texans and the sorcing only form the local area of Western Maryland to give you food that was grown on the same lands the Texans would have eaten from.

Please pay the ration fee. This is a BIG part of the adjunct and the Texan experiance during the Maryland Campaign.

Cheers,

[Moose]

Re: Maryland my Maryland: 4th Texas Rations

Awesome event Saturday evening-Sunday morning!

Rations were plentiful, and appropriate for the Season. Joe - if you get a chance, could you post the 4th TX citation for the flour?

Re: Maryland my Maryland: 4th Texas Rations

Gents,

Here is the main source we used for ration for the 4th Texas. The quotes are taken from the The Antietam Manuscript of Ezra Ayres Carman. He was one of the foremost Antietam scholars, and he was the Lt. Col. of the 13th NJ (who fought at Antietam). What makes his work so unique, is that he collected first hand accounts from both sides of the battle lines, and from each distinct portion of the battle. He was a veteran talking to other veterans about their experiences at Antietam.

The direct source I took this from was an online source: http://kperlotto3.home.comcast.net/~...EzraCarman.pdf


The Battle Begins: Daybreak to 7:30 a.m.
THE PRELUDE TO ANTIETAM
September 16, 1862
by Ezra A. Carman (originally Chapter 13)

"The officers and men of Hood's Division, being without food for three days, except a half ration of beef for one day, and green corn gathered from the field, Hood rode
back to Lee's headquarters and requested him to send two or more brigades to his relief, or at least for the night, in order that his men might have a chance to cook their
meager rations of flour. Lee said that he would cheerfully do so, but he knew of no command that could be spared for the purpose; he, however, suggested that Hood
see Jackson and endeavor to obtain assistance from him. After riding a long time in search of Jackson, Hood finally found him alone, lying on the ground, asleep, by
the foot of a tree. He aroused him and made known the half-starved condition of his troops, upon which Jackson ordered Lawton's and Trimble's brigades to his relief.
He exacted of Hood, however, a promise that he would move to the support of these brigades the moment he was called upon. It was now after 10 o'clock, his two
brigades were relieved and fell back to a position about 200 yards in rear of the Dunkard Church and Hood rode off in search of his wagons, that his men might
prepare to cook their flour."


The Battle Intensifies: 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
THE BATTLE ON THE UNION RIGHT AND THE CONFEDERATE LEFT
Daybreak to 7:30 AM
by Ezra A. Carman (originally Chapter 15)

"When Hood was relieved by Lawton, on the night of the 16th, and retired to the woods about 250 yards in rear of the Dunkard Church, it was to get food for his men,
who had been nearly famished for three days, and he road in search of his wagons. It was with much difficulty that he found these in the darkness, and they contained
flour only. Not until nearly dawn was this in the hands of his men and they were without cooking utensils. It was dawn before the dough was prepared, which the men
proceeded to cook on ramrods. About 4 a.m. Hood sent his aid to General D.H. Hill, apprising him of his condition and asking if he could furnish any troops to assist
in holding the position on the left, to which Hill replied that he could not. As we have seen, the fighting began at dawn, in and near the East Woods, and, soon
thereafter, Hood received notice from Lawton that he would require all the assistance he could give him, and later, when Hartsuff and Gibbon advanced, an officer of
Lawton's staff dashed up to Hood, saying "General Lawton sends his compliments, with the request that you come at once to his support" and added that Lawton had
been wounded. "To Arms" was instantly sounded, and quite a number of Hood's men were obliged to go to the front, leaving their uncooked rations behind; some
carried the half-cooked dough on their ramrods and ate it as they went forward."


I hope this helps illustrate why we issued the rations we did. We included a few extras in there for you boys, but we tried to keep things generally by the history for the main ration issues.

Cheers,
