The Civil War Service of

Captain Addison Lee Ewing
Company I, 63
rd
Indiana Infantry



2


By Kraig W. McNutt
What are Ewings enlistment details?
He enlisted on May 1, 1862 as a 1
st
Sergeant. He was a
resident of Haubstadt, Indiana, mustering in to
Company C, 63
rd
Indiana Infantry at age 25.
A total of 98 men enlisted from Haubstadt during
the war. 59 would return.
Ewing resigned for disability on April 6, 1865. He saw
three promotions during the war, eventually making
Captain (10/1/64, Co I).
Haubstadt is part of Gibson County, Indiana. It is just 25 miles due north of
Evansville, Indiana.

Who was Addison Lee Ewing?
It appears Lee Ewings father originally settled in
what was called Haub Station. By 1862 Ewing was a
literate 25 year old Hoosier who apparently earned
a pre-war living by teaching. He was a young
married man (m. 1860) with a little boy of 1 year old
in 1862. Lee was devoted to his wife Mary and they
shared a common bond in the Presbyterian church.
They had a nice home and farm in Haubstadt. It
appears that Marys mother and father lived in the same property in 1864.

the Hurpeth Rlver ubove town to the rlver |ust below, und of u horse-shoe shupe. We rested eusy untll ubout

Letter: December 3, 1864 Nushvllle

Nashville, TennDecember 3rd, 1864
My Dear Wife,
I am all of a flutter of joyous excitement. Evening before last I received your long but very
interesting letter and papers also, one from brother bearing good news from home. Then last
evening I received the coat and contents of its pockets. Then again today one of Company C
came up from Knoxville and brought my old valise I thought I would never get again. It came just
in time for the Rebs captured our . . . . . [rest of sentence is unreadable, holes in the letter at the
crease].
All is good here! Coming in on the heels of the great victory we won over the enemy at Franklin
on the 30
th
Nov makes us feel good. I have no doubt you have heard all about what we
accomplished but you must want to know how I came out which was all right. The Rebs fought
desperately. Colonels and Generals rode right up to our faces bringing their men up in fine style
but blue coats wouldnt budge back one inch and they fell victims of their own mad actions. A
person could walk over several acres of ground passing from one dead body to another. It was a
terrible slaughter. We took almost 3,000 prisoners and 12 colors. Many more could have been
taken up but it was dark & our forces fell back to this place inside its fortifications, where we can
use the Rebble army up if they come on to us. There is no quicker way of suffering this war than
by having the Rebs charge our works, when they invariably get whipped.
Well the coat fits a little loose but I suppose it will shrink some so I will keep it. The other one
shrank up so I had to sell it.

. . . it is cold, raining, snowing, sleeting . . . we are in shelter tents, no wood and nothing
to make ourselves comfortable . . . the poor half-clad creatures [Confederates] out a
couple of miles must suffer with the cold, for they have no gum blankets nor plenty of
good clothing as we do.

There was a rumorjust now that they were leaving our front. I wish they would, and go
so far that we would see them no more of this winter.
. . . no wood to make fires and most of us thinly clad, our suffering is intense.

December 11th 1864
My Dear Wife,
Day before yesterday I commenced a letter to you but it was so cold yesterday and this morning that I didnt get it
finished for this mornings mail. But I have just got yours of Dec 4
th
and glad to hear from you as I always am, but
when the interval between letters gets long as was the case this time I get anxious. You had evidently not got the
two or three letters I have written since the Franklin battle. Yes I was there in command of our Brigade skirmish
line when the battle commenced. But our Heavenly Father has spared me through another fierce conflict where
many fell, more worthy than I. It is impossible for me to give you any real idea of the fierceness of the charge of
the Rebbles. Or the gallantry with which it was met by the boys in blue. You will find by perusing my journals many
little insights of a soldiers life which I do not give in letters. I hope you will not give it to others to read and
criticize nor criticize it too closely yourself, for I know you will make many allowances when I come to tell you the
circumstances under which it was written during a ceaseless nine months campaign.
I am glad that the poor of Evansville are so well remembered by the farmers of Vanderburgh. I shall always be a
friend to the poor. Got the coat and it is generally admired by the Officers for its beauty and fineness, though it
doesnt fit as well as military rules would prescribe. However you can judge some by the enclosed photos how it
makes me look. The package sent by Tom I havent yet received, but I will get it I suppose. Dont bother about the
gold pen.
Mrs Harris must have a very interesting time. Well dont let her get mad at you. She spoke very highly of you and
Mother Eaton in her letter. I wish you had some pleasant companion until I get home, but then you have
peaceable neighbors who will I hope afford you protection. As to my coming home Christmas dont you flatter
yourself up so much a belief and then suffer a terrible disappointment, for there is no certainty at what time I can
get to come home but I hope to see you sometime this winter. But it will depend a great deal on what the Rebs will
do and how the weather is for campaigning. This has been a terrible cold day and I have lain under my blankets all
day. But I hope you will plenty of wood and coal to keep you and Baby comfortable all the winter long. Write soon
to your affectionate one, Lee

Oh what a night for any but veterans. The weather drizzled til about 3 p.m. when it set
in to rain in earnest and continued to pour down till late this afternoon. The first thing I
saw on waking up was a sea of mud and water all around me, and when I got up water
soon ran into the depression where I had slept. As soon as the men began moving
around, the soft earth became a perfect lob, which we had to cook, eat and stand
around near 4 p.m. when we moved over to Franklin and camp on the old battleground
which is dotted with many graves of the slainof 18 days ago. I went up to see the old
works where we lay during the fight. We are camped on solid grassy ground. The night is
cool and I think freezing but we are made comfortable by our camp stove which my boy
carries and we have a plank to sleep on. Crossing the bridge a man fell off but was near
enough to shore to scramble out safe but was bad scared.

We started in good time over frozen ground and ice though the pike was tolerable good
only in spots. All day we have passed the wrecks of Hoods fleeing army, signs of hot
pursuit. We reached Spring Hill at 4 p.m. and go in camp just before it commences to
rain again. The little village is very much dilapidated to what it was when we first saw it.
It was near that the Rebs came near cutting off our retreat up to Franklin. Made a
search to find commissary wagons but fail and have to crumb it scantily at that. Rain
increases and our bed is wet as has been for sometime.

Excerpt:
Day before yesterday [Dec 20th] we was at Franklin where there are hundreds of new
made graves filled by the enemy.
I went up to the old breastworks where we lay & all over our Brigade which is pretty
well dotted with Rebble graves. At one place there is 14 of Co K, 14th Miss laying in a
row. I see one grave marked by J.P. See[d] 55th TN. There are dead horses laying
around unburied. Some of them almost up over our works.
. . . Heaven I believe is favoring us that we will finally succeed in putting down the
Rebellion.
