Boykin December 2011 This newsletter is one of my last correspondence as Adjutant/Treasurer except for the banquet when the new officers are sworn in. It is time for our Annual Lee Jackson Banquet again. It will be held on January 14, 2012 at the Sebrell Community Center at 6:30PM. The cost is $20.00 per adult and $10.00 for children 12 and under. The entertainment will be very good again this year. The period band Southern Horizon from Richmond will be playing all period music. I would ask that members of our camp attend. In the past the attendance of our own camp members was pitiful even with the first class entertainment and food we have. If not for members of other camps who realize what a quality program we put on, we would have almost no attendance. We need attendance or this event will cost the camp money we cannot afford to lose. You need to support your camp. For those that wish to attend send me the required fee with the number of people who will attend and what name you want the reservation under. My address is Walters Hwy, Carrsville, VA I am ending my 10 years as an Officer in the Camp and sincerely appreciate Compatriots Wood and Bell who are willing to take on the positions of Treasurer and Adjutant. I have enjoyed my time as a camp officer but feel it is time for new people with new ideas to take over these positions for the betterment of our camp. I thank everyone for the assistance they have given me over the years, it is much appreciated. I intend on being more active in our camp, not less, just doing other things to keep the Cause in the forefront. It takes much more than paying dues and putting a certificate on our wall to keep this organization going. Southern heritage is in jeopardy and we are all that is left to save it. Sincerely, Volpe Boykin
4 December Urquhart-Gillette Star Page 4 By Greg Bell A Confederate Christmas in 1862 During the closing days of 1862, Stonewall Jackson s Second Corps finally settled down in their winter quarters surrounding Moss Neck which was the beautiful plantation owned by the Corbin family along the banks of the Rappahannock River. Jackson s foot cavalry was exhausted by the bloody fighting and hard marching they had endured throughout the year beginning with the Valley campaign where they won worldwide fame and their commander became the hero of the young Confederacy. There was no time for celebrating the series of victories in the valley as Jackson s men were desperately needed to help defend Richmond from McClelland s army during the Seven Day s battles, followed by Cedar Mountain, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg and finally Fredericksburg in December. The fighting in the eastern theater had been particularly brutal this year and nearly all of the battles had been victories but at an extremely high cost. The Corbin family invited General Jackson to make his headquarters in their house but he declined as he did not want to impose. Instead, he elected to use one of their outbuildings and quickly began a special relationship with one of the young Corbin daughters. Little six year old Janie Corbin won the heart of the general and he delighted in her daily visits every afternoon. He would find some sort of treat for her each day such as piece of fruit or candy. One day, he could not find anything to give her so he cut off the ornamental gold braid from one of his caps and fastened it among her curls. She was delighted with her new friend and adored his attention. Jackson s officers and men could not believe their eyes when they saw Old Jack play with Janie as they had only seen the gruff, stern, hard-driving disciplinarian in the past. He did have a soft side to him that his men had never seen before and Jackson seemed to change instantly when the little girl was around him. He gave her his undivided attention and became very attached to her over the winter months. Jackson had also been homesick as he had not been able to see his wife for several months due to the constant campaigning so Janie brought him great joy. Christmas at Moss Neck was very special as Generals Lee and Stuart came to celebrate Christmas dinner with Jackson and the Corbin family. It must have been quite a site to have seen the beautiful, stately southern mansion decorated for Christmas and to have the most prominent men there for the occasion. Stuart and Jackson were very close friends despite them being polar opposites in personality and demeanor. Jackson was quiet, very reserved and serious while Stuart was full of personality, boisterous and always the center of attention. The two men complimented each other perfectly and their stars had risen dramatically in 1862 along with their chief General Lee. Stuart could not let the opportunity pass to tease Jackson about his selection of such a grand headquarters at Moss Neck and Jackson is said to have blushed several times throughout dinner. Jackson enjoyed Stuart s company immensely and the teasing culminated when a dish of butter came out of the kitchen with a rooster emblem stamped on the top of the butter. Stuart proclaimed to the dinner party that the fighting cock must be General Jackson s coat of arms and everyone laughed as Jackson s face quickly turned red. At the end of the year, serious shortages of supplies, clothing, food and animal forage were reaching critical levels for the Army of Northern Virginia. Many of the men did not have shoes and there were not enough coats and blankets needed for the cold winter months and many of the horses were skin and bones. However, during Christmas foraging parties were sent out and found some beef and hams so that the soldiers could celebrate with a Christmas dinner. At Moss Neck, the officers were treated with a bountiful dinner including ham, oysters, breads and pies. The army was finally able to take a deep
5 December Urquhart-Gillette Star Page 5 Cont d from page 4 by Greg Bell..Confederate Christmas breath and enjoy Christmas despite the many hardships. A large portion of the men participated in revivals and Bible studies and nobody was more pleased with this than General Jackson who was a deeply religious man himself. The ranks had been greatly depleted had everyone knew the year to come would bring more of killing and suffering and yet the morale of the ANV was very high. What it must have been like to have witnessed the Christmas scenes of Moss Neck in 1862 with the three most prominent southern generals at that time all together. I am sure the veterans never forgot the scenes of that happy and grand Christmas. The famous Mort Kunstler painted several paintings around Moss Neck including Lee departing after the Christmas dinner with his staff and another with Stonewall and Janie in front of a Christmas tree. Little did they know that this would be the last Christmas the three generals would ever spend together again nor that they were very near the high water mark of the Confederacy. With the first warming days of early spring, the army began moving to meet the threat of the advancing union army in 1863 culminating with the great victory at Chancellorsville. As the second corps pulled out of the area around Moss Neck, little Janie Corbin was very sick with scarlet fever. When the shocking news of her death met Jackson, the stern warrior s heart shattered and he wept openly with some reporting that he fell to his knees in prayer. In just a few weeks, Jackson too would be lost from wounds suffered at perhaps his greatest battle at Chancellorsville where his legions routed the enemy and his friend Stuart took over command of his corps and finished the job splendidly the next day. A year later, the great cavalry commander was lost as well at Yellow Tavern, Virginia. The ANV never regained its offensive capabilities after the passing of Jackson and many believe that when he died so did the hopes of southern victory. At this most joyous time of the year, please remember the true meaning of Christmas and what it must have been like in December 1862 at Moss Neck. Just imagine. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Compatriot Greg Bell Adjutant - Elect Our Brunswick Co. neighbors recently celebrated 100 years of their Confederate Monument.
