Dismay and Bewilderment
View through CrossRef
The big Federal attack of May 22 began at 10 a.m. and the most striking part of it was the assault by Frank P. Blair’s division against the Stockade Redan. It was led by Hugh Ewing’s brigade, commanded by William T. Sherman’s foster brother and brother-in-law. The brigade, leading Fifteenth Corps action that day, advanced in column formation along Graveyard Road into the teeth of heavy Confederate rifle and artillery fire from one of the strongest forts on the Confederate line of earthworks. Led by 150 volunteers called the Forlorn Hope, the attack faltered. Only a handful of the members of the Forlorn Hope managed to get into the ditch and onto the outside slope of the parapet of the Stockade Redan and could go no farther. Many members of the 37th Ohio lost their will to continue after getting stuck inside a road cut only 100 yards from the redan and blocked up the line of approach of the regiments behind them. The rest of Ewing’s brigade left the exposed Graveyard Road and formed in a ravine to the south where it prepared to continue the advance later that day.
