Kingsbury played a substantial role at BR1, one that is never really talked about too much. He carried the two “fateful orders of the day” from McDowell…one ordering Tyler to cross the creek, and the other sending Ricketts’ and Griffin’s guns across the pike. McDowell’s chief aide Tillinghast was killed while working artillery. Usually that is pointed to as a crucial moment – the loss of McDowell’s “only” staff, but he had plenty of other unofficial ADC’s that day.

I think I have that CWTI here, I’ll check it out.

I have two views of Kingsbury (one when he was in the 5th U.S. Light Artillery & the other an unpublished view in his West Point uniform). You’re welcome to use them on this site if you’d like.

I hope everyone gets a chance to see the new trail, as it better presents the difficulties facing 9th Corps. I may be heading down that way the first weekend in May with my father-in-law and his brothers and am looking forward to walking the new trail.

As for in-laws in the ACW, we can’t forget the Stonewall Jackson-Harvey Hill-Rufus Barringer connection.

Harry

Great post about Kingsbury….Just wanted to let you know that the new Union Advance Trail at Antietam (opening later this spring) will, of course, feature the life and death of Kingsbury.
Also, I know what you mean about all the in-law connections; have fun looking at all the connections to the daughters of President Zachary Taylor!
