Paul Revere was tasked with warning Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were marching to capture them. He rode through the night, quietly warning patriots of the impending attack. When spotted by British soldiers, he was detained but later released. His ride helped spark the battles of Lexington and Concord, where minutemen engaged the British troops in the first armed conflicts of the Revolutionary War. This marked the start of open warfare between British troops and the American colonies.

Even at a remove of some 150 years following the cataclysmic conflict of the Great War of the Rebellion or CIVIL WAR -- as most would have it -- there appear to be almost no historical treatments of General Joe Hooker’s creation of the Union Army’s 6th Corps Light Division – or sometimes, the Light Brigade – in the spring of 1863;
But your own memorialist, Pvt. CALIF NEWTON DREW, YANKEE SCOUT in the CIVIL WAR!! described the newly created Light Division in some detail, at p. 82 of his Memoir, where he wrote:
“On parade one evening by Gen’l Orders we was informed that the Reg’t was a unit in the Light Division of the 6th Corps which was composed of the 61st Pa Inft; 31st N.Y. Inf’t ; 43rd N.Y. Inf’t; 6th Me Inf’ty; 5th Wisc. Inf’ty. The 3rd N.Y. L:ight Battery of Artillery was attached to the Division and Gen’l John Newton was put in command of the Division.
“By Order of the 3rd of Feb. of Gen’l Joe Hooker, Commanding Army of the Potomac (Feb 3rd, 1863) the Light Division was supposed to be selection of the best troops in the [6th] Corps. They were to move at a moment’s notice in light marching order with 100 extra rounds of ammunition. Pack mules was to convay our knapsacks, tents, blankets and all over one days rations. We was to move with the cavalry when and where they needed infantry support, so we started to get acquainted. [P. 83 ] The 5th Wisc. was our sister regiment. The 31st Pa. we had seen under fire and they had stood up to the work in fine shape. We had a number of our men in the battery and we took the judgment of those who made the selection as to the efficiency of the New York men.” [All emphases added, here and throughout.]
The newly formed Light Division saw its first major action on April 30, 1863 in the Battle of Marye’s Heights – an engagement almost as lost to history, as the Light Division itself. The battle is sometimes otherwise known as the Second Battle of Fredericksburg ...
THIS IS THE REAL STORY
