BARLOW Francis Channing, soldier, b. in Brooklyn, NY, 19 Oct. 1834. He was at the head of his class at Harvard in 1855, studied law in the office of William Curtis Noyes, New York, and began practice in that city. For a time he was on the editorial staff of the "Tribune."​

​

In 1861 he enlisted as a private in the 12th regiment New York state national guard, and went the front on the first call for troops to defend capital. At the end of the three months term service he had been promoted lieutenant. He at once reentered the service as lieutenant-colonel of the 61st New York volunteers, was promoted to Colonel during the siege of Yorktown and distinguished himself at the battle of Fair Oaks or Seven Pines (31 May and 1 June, 1862), for which he afterward (19 Sept.) promoted brigadier-general. He brought his regiment in good form through the trying "change of base" from the Chickahominy to the James river.​

​

At Antietam (17 Sept.) command captured two sets of confederate colors and 300 prisoners, but he was severely wounded, carried apparently dead from the field. At Chancellorsville (2 May, 1863) he commanded a brigade in the 11th corps, but was not involved in the discreditable surprise of its commanding officer, having been detached early in the day to harass "Stonewall" Jackson in his flank movement on national right, At the battle of Gettysburg (1 July, 1863) he was severely wounded and taken prisoner during the first day's fight; but he was exchanged, and recovered in time to take the field again the following spring.​

​

At Spotsylvania Court House, 12 May, 1864, the 2d corps (Gen Hancock's) was ordered to storm the confederate works at dawn. Gen. Barlow commanded the 1st division which, with the 3d, formed the advance line. The works were carried with a rush, and 3,000 prisoners captured, comprising almost an entire division, with two general officers, D.M. Johnson and H. Stewart. This opened one of the most sanguinary and stubbornly contested engagements of the civil war, and was the first substantial success won during the campaign.​

​

Gen. Barlow participated in the final campaigns of the Potomac Army under Gen. Grant, was present at the assault on Petersburg, and at the surrender of the confederate forces in April 1865, and was mustered out of the military service on the conclusion of peace.​

​

He was elected secretary of the state of New York in 1865, and served until 1868, when president Grant appointed him U.S. marshal of the southern district of the state. He resigned in October, 1869. In November, 1871, he was elected attorney-general of the state, serving through 1872-'3 Since that date he has practiced law in New York city.​

​

Gen. Barlow married Miss Arabella Griffith, who, while her husband was in the field, was highly efficient in the hospitals as a member of the U.S. sanitary commission. She died 27 July, 1864, of fever contracted in the hospitals of the Army of the Potomac. His second wife is a daughter of Francis G. Shaw.​

When I worked in Concord, Massachusetts, there was a small house that I passed by on my walk to and from the train. The house, according to what I've read, was the home where Barlow recuperated after his wounding at Gettysburg.

Barlow's mother was a Transcendentalist, active in the Utopian farm community of Brook Farm (which was established on land owned by the family of Robert Gould Shaw). Barlow's family moved to Concord after leaving Brook Farm and they lived in the home at 37 Bedford Street.

The Boy General: The Life and Careers of Francis Channing Barlow by Richard F Welch

Drawing heavily on primary-source material, The Boy General is the first full-length account of Francis Channing Barlow, one of the most successful combat officers in the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War.

Although his clean-shaven, youthful appearance earned him the nickname "the Boy General," his fighting capabilities resulted in frequent promotions and greater responsibilities.

Born in October 1834 in Brooklyn, New York, Barlow's professional, military, and political careers were all in the service of his native state. Intelligent, ambitious, and confident, Barlow graduated as valedictorian of the 1855 Harvard class and launched a legal career in New York. When Lincoln sent out a call for volunteers following the bombardment of Fort Sumter, Barlow dropped his practice and entered the U.S. Army as a private.

He transformed himself from a privileged young lawyer into one of the most formidable combat leaders produced by either side during the Civil War. Rising from private to major general, Barlow served in most major operations in Virginia and was increasingly entrusted with assignments of crucial importance to the success of Federal arms. He cleared out the deadly sunken road at Antietam, where he was badly wounded, and led a division at Gettysburg, where he suffered another serious wound. He and his men often spearheaded the Army of the Potomac's assaults during Grant's bloody Overland campaign. Following the war, Barlow resumed his law practice and entered the political arena. He served as New York attorney general in 1871 and as Grant's personal representative in the Florida recount following the contentious 1876 election.

This book will be welcomed by Civil War historians and buffs alike.

Barlow was born to the minister of what is now called First Unitarian Congregation in Brooklyn. My wife is a member of this church on Montague Street.

 

[CavRTO]

If I remember correctly, (always a slippery slope), after enlisting as a private he soon found that position not to his liking. So he goes to daddy who pulls strings to get him a commission.

I believe many members of the Irish Brigade felt about the same concerning him as the Germans of the 11th. Corps did.

From my reading about him, I must admit to having devloped an intense dislike for the guy myself.

John

His attitude toward immigrants was typical Anglo Saxon Brahman.

 

[AMQ02]

The correct date of marriage to his second wife, Ellen "Nell" or "Ella" Shaw was October 24, 1867 at the German Lutheran Church by the Rev Beecher.

His mother Almira Penniman Barlow died July 1868 in Concord, Massachusetts. Cause of death was listed as "insanity".

 

[AMQ02]

Yeah, I thought that bizarre deformed double chin was the result of his war wounds...but I found this photo of him in 1864 with other 2nd Corps Commanders, and he looks fine, face wise. Was it simply aging? Or was it the after effects of his wounds didn't manifest physically until later life? (If that last statement doesn't tell y'all my level of science education, I don't know what else will).

Where have you seen a photo of Barlow with a "deformed double chin"?

 

[AMQ02]

Barlow graduated from Yale College in 1855. (The Report to the Secretary of the Class of 1855, of Harvard College, July 1855 to July 1865, Boston: Printed by Alfred Mudge and Son, 1865, p. 11)

In an obituary, the Barlow-Gordon incident at Gettysburg is described: Two of his men attempted to bear him through that shower of lead from the field [on July 1], but one was instantly killed, and Gen. Barlow told the other to save himself. Here he was found by Gen. John B. Gordon, whose Georgia brigade had just charged over the ground. At Barlow's request, Gordon read to him one of his wife's letters, which Barlow carried with him, and making the supposed dying man as comfortable as possible Gordon rode on. Years afterward, when Gordon had become a Senator of the United States, he met in Washington a gentleman named Barlow, and asked him whether he was related to an officer of that name killed at Gettysburg. "I am the man," said Barlow. He had been nursed back to life by his wife, though she herself died of fever contracted while caring for wounded soldiers. (National Tribune, January 16, 1896, p. 4)

Barlow was initially taken to the barn of Josiah Benner just across Rock Creek on the Harrisburg Road by order of Lt. Andrew Lewis Pitzer, an aide on Early's staff. On the morning of July 2, he was moved to the John S. Crawford house located on the outskirts of Gettysburg, which for a time served as Ewell's headquarters, then to the George Spangler farm, the Eleventh Corps hospital, after the Confederate retreat.

He graduated 1st in class of 1855 from Harvard not Yale.

"Daddy" did not pull strings. He had no relationship with his father Rev David Hatch Barlow since 1840s with exception of October - November 1864 when he attempted to reconnect with him. His father died in November 1864 before that could happen.

He raised in ranks mostly due to his own credit.

 

[AMQ02]

When I worked in Concord, Massachusetts, there was a small house that I passed by on my walk to and from the train. The house, according to what I've read, was the home where Barlow recuperated after his wounding at Gettysburg.

Barlow's mother was a Transcendentalist, active in the Utopian farm community of Brook Farm (which was established on land owned by the family of Robert Gould Shaw). Barlow's family moved to Concord after leaving Brook Farm and they lived in the home at 37 Bedford Street.

Was the home he recuperated in the same as the Bedford Street home? In December 1863 he was in Concord based on a letter written to his mother from Ralph Waldo Emerson.

 

[Cavalier]

@AMQ02 Do you know how that happened exactly? I was under the impression he enlisted as a private, didn't like it, and was able to become an officer somehow. Was it that easy for a private to become an officer with out some kind of pull?

Just wondering.

John

 

[Luke Freet]

Where have you seen a photo of Barlow with a "deformed double chin"?

Look in the original post and look at him as an old man. That's what we were referring to

 

[Pollaco]

It may have been the war wounds along with kidney disease that affected his looks later in life.
