Army of the Kanawha (original) (raw)
The Army of the Kanawha was a small Confederate army early in the American Civil War. Confederate units in the vital Kanawha River valley of western Virginia were styled the "Army of the Kanawha" after they were put under the command of former Virginia governor Henry A. Wise on June 6, 1861. Kanawha valley native John B. Floyd, himself a former Virginia governor and former U.S. Secretary of War, assumed command on August 11 intending to improve recruitment, but personal animosity between the two politicians prevented Floyd from fully exercising control of the inexperienced force until early autumn.

| dbo:abstract | The Army of the Kanawha was a small Confederate army early in the American Civil War. Confederate units in the vital Kanawha River valley of western Virginia were styled the "Army of the Kanawha" after they were put under the command of former Virginia governor Henry A. Wise on June 6, 1861. Kanawha valley native John B. Floyd, himself a former Virginia governor and former U.S. Secretary of War, assumed command on August 11 intending to improve recruitment, but personal animosity between the two politicians prevented Floyd from fully exercising control of the inexperienced force until early autumn. After the Confederate commanders' quarrel cost them victory at the Battle of Carnifex Ferry, Confederate States Secretary of War Judah P. Benjamin sent an order relieving Wise and ordering him to Richmond, and Floyd commanded the brigade-sized force until he was sent to the Western Theater. The "Army" was incorporated into the 3rd division of the Army of Central Kentucky in late December and while the army ceased to exist as such, the brigade fought at Fort Donelson. What men remained after the Confederate surrender at Donelson eventually became members of the Army of Mississippi before the Battle of Shiloh. (en) L'armée de la Kanawha est une petite armée confédérée du début de la guerre de Sécession. Les unités confédérées de la vallée de la rivière Kanawha - une zone essentielle de la Virginie-Occidentale pour les confédérés - sont désignées comme l'« armée de la Kanawha » après qu'elles sont mises sous le commandement de l'ancien gouverneur de Virginie Henry A. Wise le 6 juin 1861. John B. Floyd, natif de la vallée de Kanawha, lui-même ancien gouverneur de Virginie et ancien secrétaire à la guerre des États-Unis, assure le commandement le 11 août 1861 pour améliorer le recrutement, mais l'animosité personnelle entre les deux politiciens empêche Floyd d'exercer pleinement le contrôle de la force inexpérimentée jusqu'au début de l’automne. Après que la querelle des commandants confédérés coûte la victoire lors de la bataille de Carnifex Ferry, le secrétaire à la guerre des États confédérés Judah P. Benjamin envoie un ordre relevant Wise de son commandement et lui ordonnant de revenir à Richmond, et Floyd commande la force de la taille d'une brigade jusqu'à ce qu'il soit transféré sur le théâtre occidental. L'« armée » est incorporée à la troisième division de l'armée du Kentucky central à la fin de décembre et pendant que l'armée cesse d'exister en tant que telle, la brigade combat à fort Donelson. Les hommes qui restent après la reddition confédérés à Donelson deviennent finalement membres de l'armée du Mississippi avant la bataille de Shiloh.

Oddziały Konfederacji nad ważnym kanałem transportowym, jakim była rzeka Kanawha w dolinie Zachodniej Wirginii, zostały zebrane pod szyldem „Armii Kanawha” przez byłego gubernatora 6 czerwca 1861 roku. dla którego dolina Kanawha była domem, przejął dowodzenie 11 sierpnia, próbując uskutecznić rekrutację, jednakże osobiste animozje pomiędzy nim a politykami, uniemożliwiły pełną kontrolę, aż do wczesnej jesieni. Niesnaski między dowódcami kosztowały Konfederatów przegraną pod Carnifex Ferry, co skłoniło sekretarza wojny Judę Benjamina do przyznania pełnej kontroli nad tą niewielką (rozmiarami sięgała brygady) armią Floydowi. Po wysłaniu na zachodni teatr walk, „Armia” została wcielona do 3 dywizji armii Środkowego Kentucky, pod koniec grudnia. Po bitwie pod pozostała część ludzi trafiła do armii Mississippi. (pl) |
