Column Formation

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.

Column Formation

On the Seventeenth Corps sector the main effort was launched by John A. Logan’s division along the Jackson Road. John E. Smith’s brigade advanced in column formation and struck the 3rd Louisiana Redan. It deployed into line before reaching the redan and all of its regiments managed to lodge at the foot of the parapet. They found it impossible to scale the slope, however, and remained there for the rest of the day. John D. Stevenson’s brigade, to the south of Smith, advanced out of a protective ravine toward the Great Redoubt. Some regiments made it to the foot of the slope but could not enter the work while others, especially the 81st Illinois, got stuck part way to the fort and suffered heavy losses. Thomas Ransom’s brigade of John McArthur’s division, north of Logan, spent the morning and the early afternoon making contact with the rest of Blair’s division to the north so the combined force might launch a coordinated attack. Meanwhile, James B. McPherson’s other division, commanded by Isaac F. Quinby, advanced to the south of Logan to demonstrate against the Confederates but did not launch an attack.

Cyclic Variations

AbstractLong-term cyclic variations in the distribution of prominences and intensities of green (530.3 nm) and red (637.4 nm) coronal emission lines over solar cycles 18–23 are presented. Polar prominence branches will reach the poles at different epochs in cycle 23: the north branch at the beginning in 2002 and the south branch a year later (2003), respectively. The local maxima of intensities in the green line show both poleward- and equatorward-migrating branches. The poleward branches will reach the poles around cycle maxima like prominences, while the equatorward branches show a duration of 18 years and will end in cycle minima (2007). The red corona shows mostly equatorward branches. The possibility that these branches begin to develop at high latitudes in the preceding cycles cannot be excluded.
