Company ‘A’ Roster:

The Writing Process — “The Face of the Enemy”

tvenner — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 14:41:57 +0000

Sgt. William J. Venner, Jr. and Helga Falch in Munich, Germany - 1945

Now that Tennessee Valor is out to the publishers there is nothing to be done about the manuscript. It is just a matter of waiting, and waiting; something a writer must endure.

I traveled to California and visited my Mom and helped her move into her new apartment, now that Dad has been gone for a year. We went through his boxes and I collected all of his World War II items. Dad was a meticulous record keeper, and a written-materials pack-rat. I now have all of Dad’s letters, V-Mails, Journals, and notes which he kept from that time. There are over 100 letters, etc. Dad also had hundreds of photos he took while in Germany.

I have been typing the letters in order to preserve his thoughts from 1939 through 1948. After reading these letters a fascinating story has emerged — Dad had a German girlfriend — Helga Falch. The letters between him and Helga create a picture of two young people very much in love.

I was aware of this relationship because Dad had showed me some of these letters in the late 1990′s when I wrote the book about his World War II experiences — Combat Engineer. But I had no understanding of the seriousness of their relationship. Ultimately, Dad’s parents forbid him from bringing Helga back to the United States, and he followed their wishes. If he had, my world would have been incredibly different!

I am in the process of assembling these letters into an article — “The Face of the Enemy” — which I will try to publish with one of the World War II magazines.

Tennessee Valor — Update; January 16, 2012

tvenner — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:05:18 +0000

Almost as many Tennesseans died of disease as were felled by Federal bullets.

Tennessee Valor – Update: January 16, 2012

Nothing has happened for two weeks; no research, no correspondence, no map making, and no writing.

Instead—I have been sick with pneumonia; high fevers, congestion, and trying to cough away my lungs.

Now, as I finish up a ten-day supply of Levaquin and find myself returning to the energetic person I remember, I have had much time to reflect upon a person’s health and well-being and will never again look at sickness in the same blasé manner as before.

The young men who made up the 7^th Tennessee infantry not only had to deal with the lethal dangers of combat, but they also had to struggle against disease. The medical world of 1861-65 did not provide America’s soldiers with the array of medicines we have available today, so those hearty fellows had to fight disease armed only with their own personal constitutions.

I am fortunate today in that a massive dose of Levofloxacin attacked the pneumonia trying to fill my lungs and am well on the mend. Sadly, the Tennesseans were not able to protect themselves from that dangerous illness. They stood out in the rain, struggled in freezing temperatures, dampness, and often without protection from the elements. Many young men, their immunities stricken by the physical situation, fell ill and had their maladies worsen, allowing pneumonia to invade. These fellows battled resolutely against the sickness, but sadly, some did not survive. By the time the war ended, almost as many Tennesseans had died of sickness as were felled by Federal bullets.

An examination of 7^th Tennessee deaths reveals that 69 died of disease in Confederate hospitals, and another 14 died of sickness while in a Union prison facility.

The following is a list of 7^th Tennesseans who died from illness during the Civil War:

Tennessee Valor – update; 12/21/2011

The 7th TN went into the Wilderness with just under 200 men.

Tennessee Valor update – 12/21/2011

I have just completed editing and rewriting Chapter 11, with only one chapter to go.

Chapter 11 covered the 7th Tennessee’s experiences in the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, and ultimately the first fights in defending the Petersburg trenches. The chapter ends in mid-October 1864.

Chapter 11 turned out to be about 10,500 words, giving the manuscript 86,000 words with one chapter (about 9,500 words) to edit and rewrite.

One quote written during the Spotsylvania battle was by Cpl. William Clendening (Co. E), who on May 13, 1864 wrote: “…This sanguinary contest had proceeded almost without abatement for three days, and having no opportunity to cook rations the troops were well nigh famished. Our brigade had thrown up temporary works which proved a great protection to them, and when assailed by the enemy they were repulsed with a great slaughter. Firing ceased during the night, and a picket line was established across the field of carnage. The post assigned me was in the midst of the dead and dying. Soon after dark a misty rain set in, and the groans of the wounded could be heard all along the line. I groped my way over the field in search of something to eat. I stumbled over what I supposed to be a log, but it proved to be a dead man whose haversack was well filled with bacon and hardtack. Availing myself of this treasure, it was immediately transferred to my shoulders, and in a short time my hunger was appeased…”

The 7th Tennessee lost 2 wagons and 7 wounded soldiers at Greencastle, PA on July 5, 1863.

Tennessee Valor – Writing Update

I have just completed rewriting and editing chapter 10, with but two chapters to go before this draft is complete. Presently, the manuscript is about 75,000 words (220 pages) with about 25,000 to go. I remain on schedule to have this draft completed by the end of 2011.

I wish to thank Sue Goodwin for graciously sending me letters written by her ancestor who served with the 7th Tennessee — Pvt. Thomas Capehart (Co. K).

Thomas Capehart wrote an incredibly emotional letter in the winter of 1863-64. Here are parts of a letter written to his mother on November 27, 1863:

“… write to me as often as you can. I can’t wait to hear from you all … I would like to see you all and be with you to night but I will have to wait awhile yet…”

“… Tell little Hatton [his 2-year-old son, named after the regiment's colonel, Robert Hatton] he must be a good boy till I come home …”

“… ask him [little Hatton] if he has forgotten me…”

The 7th Tennessee was not involved in any action on July 2, 1863.

Tennessee Valor — writing update

I have resumed the final editing and writing, now that the Thanksgiving holidays are over and my schedule has returned to normal.

I have completed Chapter 7, which follows the 7th Tennessee through the afternoon of July 1st, and through the next day, July 2nd. The chapter has proven to be one of the smaller sections, totaling 5,300 words.

Once Archer’s brigade was routed on the morning of July 1st, the 7th Tennessee did not see combat for the next 36 hours. Lt. Col. Sam Shepard wrote in his report in the Official Records, “We were not in the engagement of July 2nd.”

Thus, July 2nd became a day of rest and reflection about the war, and home. But for the Tennesseans, home was a source of considerable worry. Now that Middle Tennessee was controlled by the Yankees, going home was treacherous, because home had become a lawless and perilous place. Any young man, whether he be wounded or discharged, came home to a life which was difficult and dangerous.

Two such soldiers in Company ‘G’, Joseph and Nathan Lannom, exemplified these difficulties. Both men, farmers from the southern part of Wilson County had enlisted as privates. Nathan, the younger of the two, was wounded at Cedar Run and placed on a medical furlough. He deserted from the hospital and snuck home only to find himself scooped up by Yankee cavalry and placed in a prisoner of war camp.

The other Lannom, Joseph, a 44-year-old at the start of the war, had served with the regiment until August 1862, when he was discharged because of age. Joseph Lannom returned home to Wilson County and resumed farming, only to be murdered. The ex-soldier had been killed by a man named Richard Mount, whom everyone knew simply as, “Cedar Dick.” The murder had been bloody, when Cedar Dick assaulted Lannom, “… with a large … Bowie knife … and killed Lannom [by] cutting and stabbing…”[1]

The 7th Tennessee Infantry camped near Warm Springs WV in mid-November.

Tennessee Valor – Writing update

I am working on the rewrite of chapter 5, having completed rewrites of the first four chapters. The first four chapters total 108 pages and some 40,000 words. Chapter 5 describes the battle of Chancellorsville and the march into Pennsylvania. I hope to have all twelve chapters edited and rewritten by the end of December.

Here are three journal entries written on November 16 and 17, 1861:

16 November 1861:

David Phillips - [Warm Springs, VA] – “Dreadful time on poor soldiers in camp. Our tents are rotten and the gales tear them and upset them, leaving us exposed to the merciless and bitter winds. Archie [Norris] and I went out in the neighborhood about three miles to Col A. G. McGoffin and got some fine apples and a splendid dinner. Oh, it was fine indeed to us who have been accustomed to camp fare.”

Robert Hatton – [Warm Springs, VA] – “… W.H. Hull [a local store keeper] … You are ordered to sell no more whiskey to the soldiers at Warm Springs, and if it is found that you continue to sell it to them, a file of men will be ordered to destroy your Distillery.”

17 November 1861:

David Phillips – [Warms Springs, VA] – “Cold and high winds still raging. Camp life in cold weather is a very miserable one. The wind blows the smoke of the whole encampment along on the ground which makes the air dense with smoke everywhere. This circumstance puts our eyes out nearly. Everybody you can see is crying. While I write I can’t see the lines half the time.”

7th Tennessee – November 10-11, 1861

The 7th Tennessee remained in the western Virginia mountains as winter approached.

Writings of men of the 7th Tennessee: November 10-11, 1861

10 November 1861:

David Phillips- [outside Huntersville, WV] – “Had to go on picket. Went about two and a half miles from camps up Greenbrier river. There were ten in the company; were stationed at a farm house. Got plenty of sweet milk and butter. Read Napoleon’s invasion of Russia and his disastrous retreat.”

Robert Hatton – [Huntersville, WV] – “… captains are to inspect their tents and … if any potatoes are found the men who have them in their possession are to send the potatoes to the Colonel’s quarters … Captains are to have their companies ready to move at daylight on the following morning … Captains and Lieutenants are to remain with their companies on the march, keeping them together and in their proper places in line, and allowing none to leave camp in the morning in advance of the regiment … send the sick to the rear of the regiment … Captains are not to allow their men to burn any of the rails near the encampment as well as to suppress all depredations upon private property that may come under their notice.”

11 November 1861:

David Phillips - [outside Huntersville, WV] – “Regiment received orders to go to Warm Springs. We were called off picket in morning.

Regiment left before we got back to camps; caught it at Huntersville. We camped three miles from Huntersville on the W. S. road. The news of our advance was announced about 8 o’clock p.m. Then arose a yell that would have paled the Indians and silenced their terrible war cry. Everybody seemed to be shouting at once.”
