Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the Chief Signal Officer Army of the Potomac: Previous to and During the Campaign on the Peninsula, Virginia; Rendered to Major General George B. McClellan, October 21, 1862 The Chief signal Officer, then serving at Head-quarters Department of Virginia, was, by Special Orders, No. 20 (Paper A), directed to report for duty, at the Headquarters of the then Division of the Potomac, on August 14th, 1861. This order was consequent upon information which had been received, that our forces, on the Upper Potomac, needed intercommunication between the different divisions; and, also, to the fact that attention had been called, at that part of our lines, and along our front before Washington, to the telegraphic field-signals of the enemy. The General commanding the then Division of the Potomac, required a signal line to connect the right of his army with the forces surrounding Washington. Orders to this effect, were received on the same day, verbally, from the General commanding the Army, and by the letter herewith, from the Assistant Secretary of War (Paper B.) The organization of the Signal Corns of the Army of the Potomac, was commenced on the issue of the order herewith (Paper C.) On this order, officers and men wore collected from various regiments, and were gathered at small camps of instruction, which were formed at Poolesville. Md., then the headquarters of General Stone; on the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain in Maryland; and at Hagerstown, then the headquarters of General Banks.
