Grand Review of the Armies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grand Review of the Armies on Pennsylvania Avenue
Date May 23-24, 1865
Location Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C.
Participants George Gordon Meade, Army of the Potomac;
William T. Sherman Army of the Tennessee
Army of Georgia
The Grand Review of the Armies was a military procession and celebration in Washington, D.C., on May 23 and May 24, 1865, following the close of the American Civil War.[1] Elements of the Union Army paraded through the streets of the capital to receive accolades from the crowds and reviewing politicians, officials, and prominent citizens, including the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson.
History
On May 10, Johnson had declared that the rebellion and armed resistance was virtually at an end, and had made plans with government authorities for a formal review to honor the troops. One of his side goals was to change the mood of the capital, which was still in mourningfollowing the assassination of Abraham Lincoln the month before at Ford's Theater. Three of the leading Federal armies were close enough to participate in the procession. The Army of the Tennessee arrived via train. The Army of Georgia, also under the command of William T. Sherman, had just completed its Carolinas Campaign and had accepted the surrender of the largest remaining Confederate army, that of Joseph E. Johnston. It arrived from North Carolina in mid-May and camped around the capital city in various locations, across the Potomac River from the Army of the Potomac, fresh off its victories over Robert E. Lee in Virginia. It had arrived in Washington on May 12. Officers in the three armies who had not seen each other for some time (in some cases since before the war) communed and renewed acquaintances, while at times, the common infantrymen engaged in verbal sparring (and sometimes fisticuffs) in the town's taverns and bars over which army was superior. Sherman, concerned that his Westerners would not present as polished an image as the eastern army, drilled his forces and insisted that uniforms be cleaned, buttons and brass shined, and that bayonets glistened.
At 9:00 a.m. on a bright sunny May 23, a signal gun fired a single shot and Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade, the victor of Gettysburg, led the estimated 80,000 men of Army of the Potomac down the streets of Washington from Capitol Hill down Pennsylvania Avenue past crowds that numbered into the thousands. The infantry marched with 12 men across the road, followed by the divisional and corps artillery, then an array of cavalry regiments that stretched for another seven miles. The mood was one of gaiety and celebration, and the crowds and soldiers frequently engaged in singing patriotic songs as the procession of victorious soldiers snaked its way towards the reviewing stand in front of the White House, where President Johnson, general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant, senior military leaders, the Cabinet, and leading government officials awaited. At the head of his troops, Meade dismounted when he arrived at the reviewing stand and joined the dignitaries to salute his men, who passed for over six hours.
On the following day at 10:00 a.m., Sherman led the 65,000 men of the Army of the Tennessee and the Army of Georgia, with an uncharacteristic semblance of military precision, past the admiring celebrities, most of whom had never seen him before. For six hours under bright sunshine, the men who had marched through Georgia and those who had defeated John Bell Hood's army in Tennessee now paraded in front of joyous throngs lining the sidewalks. People peered from windows and rooftops for their first glimpse of this western army. Unlike Meade's army, which had more military precision, Sherman's Georgia force was trailed by a vast crowd of people who had accompanied the army up from Savannah-freed blacks, laborers, adventurers, scavengers, etc. At the very end was a vast herd of cattle and other livestock that had been taken from Carolina farms.
Within a week after the celebrations, the two armies were disbanded and many of the volunteer regiments and batteries were sent home to be mustered out of the army.
Although there would be further minor guerrilla actions in the south, particularly with respect to armed criminal factions, such as the James-Younger Gang and racial violence in the South (including the rise of the Ku Klux Klan), military conflict on land between the North and the South had ended. The disbandment of the Union armies and the return home of fathers, brothers, and sons signaled to the population at large that they could begin their return to a normal life and that the end had finally come for the American Civil War.

Peter was a soldier in Co E 29th Regt PV of the CIVIL WAR
Peter mustered into the Union Army on 18 January 1865. His regiment is credited with participating in the Carolinas Campaign. The Carolinas Campaign was the final campaign in the Western Theater[1] of the American Civil War. In January 1865, Union Maj. Gen.William Tecumseh Sherman advanced north from Savannah, Georgia, through the Carolinas, with the intention of linking up with Union forces in Virginia. The defeat of Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's army at the Battle of Bentonville in March, and its surrender in April, represented the loss of the final major army of the Confederacy.
The Battle of Bentonville (March 19 - 21, 1865) was fought in Bentonville, North Carolina, near the town of Four Oaks, as part of the Carolinas Campaign of the American Civil War. It was the last battle between the armies of Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman and Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
Peter's regiment also participated in the Grand Review of the Armies, which was a military procession and celebration in Washington, D.C., on May 23 and May 24, 1865, following the close of the American Civil War.[1] Elements of the Union Army paraded through the streets of the capital to receive accolades from the crowds and reviewing politicians, officials, and prominent citizens, including the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson.

FIRST SETTLERS OF ST MARYS, PA
Posted 14 Mar 2016 by LARRY HERBSTRITT
Charles “Karl” and Margaretha Paul Herbstritt were one of the first fifteen families to settle the 35,000 acre piece of land that became known as St Marys. Early in the summer of 1842 a number of Germans from Philadelphia and Baltimore formed a settlement on the community plan. The first settlement for the land was in October. The inhabitants, mostly Roman Catholics, originally named the town Marienstadt (Mary's City) and it was later changed to St Marys. Charles and his brother, Martin from Philadelphia took residence at John Green's in Kersey, PA, which lies south of St Mary's. Others from Baltimore formed a path from Kersey to St. Marys. The first house they put up was a cabin where the house of M. Wellendorf now stands on St Marys Street. One of the first born in the new St Marys settlement was Charles' son, Peter Herbstritt, father of Joseph Christian Herbstritt. Peter was a Civil War veteran and twelve years after the war his son, Joseph Christian, was born in 1877. In 1907, Joseph found his wife, Elizabeth Lavey, in a newspaper ad and traveled to Hodgenvile, Kentucky where he married her. Elizabeth's parents, John O Lavey and Anna Essex were living on the property once owned by Thomas Lincoln, where their son, Abraham, lived as a young boy from 1811 to 1816.

Grand Review of the Armies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grand Review of the Armies on Pennsylvania Avenue
Date May 23-24, 1865
Location Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C.
Participants George Gordon Meade, Army of the Potomac;
William T. Sherman Army of the Tennessee
Army of Georgia
The Grand Review of the Armies was a military procession and celebration in Washington, D.C., on May 23 and May 24, 1865, following the close of the American Civil War.[1] Elements of the Union Army paraded through the streets of the capital to receive accolades from the crowds and reviewing politicians, officials, and prominent citizens, including the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson.

Within a week after the celebrations, the two armies were disbanded and many of the volunteer regiments and batteries were sent home to be mustered out of the army.

When Martin Herbstritt was born on August 22, 1847, in Benzinger, Pennsylvania, his father, Karl "Charles" Herbstritt, was 36 and his mother, Margaretha Paul Herbstritt, was 37. Early in the Civil War, Martin and his two older brothers, Charles and Peter mustered into the Union Army. Martin and Peter survived but Charles was wounded at Gettysburg buried at the Prospect Hill Cemetery so far from home that it's doubtful his parents ever got to visit his grave site. Martin's father died the same year.
After the war was over, Martin married Mary Hagerman Krieg and they had 16 children together. On March 23, 1892 Mary passed away.
He then married Margaret Kreckle and they had one daughter together. He died on January 17, 1906, in St Marys, Pennsylvania, at the age of 58, and was buried there.

CIVIL WAR SOLDIER
Posted 20 Jun 2015 by LARRY HERBSTRITT
Peter was a soldier in Co E 29th Regt PV of the CIVIL WAR
Peter mustered into the Union Army on 18 January 1865. His regiment is credited with participating in the Carolinas Campaign. The Carolinas Campaign was the final campaign in the Western Theater[1] of the American Civil War. In January 1865, Union Maj. Gen.William Tecumseh Sherman advanced north from Savannah, Georgia, through the Carolinas, with the intention of linking up with Union forces in Virginia. The defeat of Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's army at the Battle of Bentonville in March, and its surrender in April, represented the loss of the final major army of the Confederacy.
The Battle of Bentonville (March 19 - 21, 1865) was fought in Bentonville, North Carolina, near the town of Four Oaks, as part of the Carolinas Campaign of the American Civil War. It was the last battle between the armies of Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman and Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
Peter's regiment also participated in the Grand Review of the Armies, which was a military procession and celebration in Washington, D.C., on May 23 and May 24, 1865, following the close of the American Civil War.[1] Elements of the Union Army paraded through the streets of the capital to receive accolades from the crowds and reviewing politicians, officials, and prominent citizens, including the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson.

FIRST SETTLERS OF ST MARYS, PA
Posted 14 Mar 2016 by LARRY HERBSTRITT
Charles “Karl” and Margaretha Paul Herbstritt were one of the first fifteen families to settle the 35,000 acre piece of land that became known as St Marys. Early in the summer of 1842 a number of Germans from Philadelphia and Baltimore formed a settlement on the community plan. The first settlement for the land was in October. The inhabitants, mostly Roman Catholics, originally named the town Marienstadt (Mary's City) and it was later changed to St Marys. Charles and his brother, Martin from Philadelphia took residence at John Green's in Kersey, PA, which lies south of St Mary's. Others from Baltimore formed a path from Kersey to St. Marys. The first house they put up was a cabin where the house of M. Wellendorf now stands on St Marys Street. One of the first born in the new St Marys settlement was Charles' son, Peter Herbstritt, father of Joseph Christian Herbstritt. Peter was a Civil War veteran and twelve years after the war his son, Joseph Christian, was born in 1877. In 1907, Joseph found his wife, Elizabeth Lavey, in a newspaper ad and traveled to Hodgenvile, Kentucky where he married her. Elizabeth's parents, John O Lavey and Anna Essex were living on the property once owned by Thomas Lincoln, where their son, Abraham, lived as a young boy from 1811 to 1816.

Grand Review of the Armies
Posted 05 jul 2018 by LARRY HERBSTRITT
Grand Review of the Armies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grand Review of the Armies on Pennsylvania Avenue
Date May 23-24, 1865
Location Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C.
Participants George Gordon Meade, Army of the Potomac;
William T. Sherman Army of the Tennessee
Army of Georgia
The Grand Review of the Armies was a military procession and celebration in Washington, D.C., on May 23 and May 24, 1865, following the close of the American Civil War.[1] Elements of the Union Army paraded through the streets of the capital to receive accolades from the crowds and reviewing politicians, officials, and prominent citizens, including the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson.
History
On May 10, Johnson had declared that the rebellion and armed resistance was virtually at an end, and had made plans with government authorities for a formal review to honor the troops. One of his side goals was to change the mood of the capital, which was still in mourningfollowing the assassination of Abraham Lincoln the month before at Ford's Theater. Three of the leading Federal armies were close enough to participate in the procession. The Army of the Tennessee arrived via train. The Army of Georgia, also under the command of William T. Sherman, had just completed its Carolinas Campaign and had accepted the surrender of the largest remaining Confederate army, that of Joseph E. Johnston. It arrived from North Carolina in mid-May and camped around the capital city in various locations, across the Potomac River from the Army of the Potomac, fresh off its victories over Robert E. Lee in Virginia. It had arrived in Washington on May 12. Officers in the three armies who had not seen each other for some time (in some cases since before the war) communed and renewed acquaintances, while at times, the common infantrymen engaged in verbal sparring (and sometimes fisticuffs) in the town's taverns and bars over which army was superior. Sherman, concerned that his Westerners would not present as polished an image as the eastern army, drilled his forces and insisted that uniforms be cleaned, buttons and brass shined, and that bayonets glistened.
At 9:00 a.m. on a bright sunny May 23, a signal gun fired a single shot and Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade, the victor of Gettysburg, led the estimated 80,000 men of Army of the Potomac down the streets of Washington from Capitol Hill down Pennsylvania Avenue past crowds that numbered into the thousands. The infantry marched with 12 men across the road, followed by the divisional and corps artillery, then an array of cavalry regiments that stretched for another seven miles. The mood was one of gaiety and celebration, and the crowds and soldiers frequently engaged in singing patriotic songs as the procession of victorious soldiers snaked its way towards the reviewing stand in front of the White House, where President Johnson, general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant, senior military leaders, the Cabinet, and leading government officials awaited. At the head of his troops, Meade dismounted when he arrived at the reviewing stand and joined the dignitaries to salute his men, who passed for over six hours.
On the following day at 10:00 a.m., Sherman led the 65,000 men of the Army of the Tennessee and the Army of Georgia, with an uncharacteristic semblance of military precision, past the admiring celebrities, most of whom had never seen him before. For six hours under bright sunshine, the men who had marched through Georgia and those who had defeated John Bell Hood's army in Tennessee now paraded in front of joyous throngs lining the sidewalks. People peered from windows and rooftops for their first glimpse of this western army. Unlike Meade's army, which had more military precision, Sherman's Georgia force was trailed by a vast crowd of people who had accompanied the army up from Savannah-freed blacks, laborers, adventurers, scavengers, etc. At the very end was a vast herd of cattle and other livestock that had been taken from Carolina farms.
Within a week after the celebrations, the two armies were disbanded and many of the volunteer regiments and batteries were sent home to be mustered out of the army.
Although there would be further minor guerrilla actions in the south, particularly with respect to armed criminal factions, such as the James-Younger Gang and racial violence in the South (including the rise of the Ku Klux Klan), military conflict on land between the North and the South had ended. The disbandment of the Union armies and the return home of fathers, brothers, and sons signaled to the population at large that they could begin their return to a normal life and that the end had finally come for the American Civil War.
