There's some of our favorites up next, a story from
the Civil War that was nearly forgotten to history. Here's
John Busby of the Culture Buzz on KFMG ninety eight
(00:30):
point nine FM and our own Monty Montgomery with a story.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
A lot of history, although it deserves to be remembered,
can easily be forgotten if people well forget about it.
It then becomes almost like buried treasure waiting for someone
to uncover it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Delving into history is it's almost like beachcombing. You're never
quite sure what you're going to find, but sometimes you
find some incredible things. And that's what happened over ten
years ago someone who's a friend of mine, now Tom
Woodruff of Thewisa County, Iowa. He had a call from
the widow of a boyhood friend of his who said
(01:12):
that this friend's grandmother had put together a scrap book.
It roughly went from the late eighteen hundreds to the
first few years of the nineteen hundreds, and she knew
it might be of interest to Tom because Tom is
an amateur historian, and so she ended up getting that
scrap book to Tom. So of course, what does he do.
He sits down and he has to go through the
(01:34):
entire scrapbook. And there on this fifty to seven page
scrap book, on page twenty three was a little news clipping.
It was from a nineteen oh seven Columbus Gazette newspaper
and they were talking about the devastating toll the Civil
War had, and it talked specifically about the Littleton family.
(02:00):
They were less fortunate when it came to losing people.
Of the six brothers, only one lived to return and
he shortly died of disease contracted in the service. And
right there that was the flashpoint for Tom Woodrooff to
try and find out more about these six Lyttleton brothers.
(02:22):
Tom had started working on this for a few years
and a mutual friend of ours connecting me to Tom.
She knew that I loved history, that I did stories
about history, and she said I've got a fellow you
need to meet. Well, I met Tom Woodrooff and the
chase was on as they say, what can we do
(02:44):
to bring this story back to light? Because It was
one of those profound stories that inspirational in service to country,
tragic in the total loss of the male lineage of
a family. There were four sisters left from that family,
and in fact, many of the relatives, the descendants of
(03:06):
those four sisters, knew very little, if anything about the
six great great great uncles that they had at one time.
So that was kind of the genesis of getting involved
with the Littleton brothers story. We have a lot of
missing puzzle pieces. Some of the pieces we have are
(03:30):
based in census records, so a number of the Littleton
family members were doated as Mulatto. The migration of the
Littleton family, they originated from Maryland, and it looks like
James and Martha they were the mother and father. They
(03:51):
started toward moving west because they wanted more opportunity, and
their first four children, Sarah, George, John, and Thomas were
born in Maryland. They probably left Maryland in late eighteen
thirty six or so. They ended up stopping in Ohio
for a while to keep expanding their family, so Ohio
(04:14):
became home for the birth of William and then Mary.
Then after Mary was born sometime after that between eighteen
thirty nine, and eighteen forty one they completed their migration
to Iowa. So when they got to Lewisa County and
around eighteen forty eighteen forty one, that is when the
(04:37):
family completed its expansion. Rebecca was born in eighteen forty one,
Permilla in eighteen forty three, and her twin brother Kendall
same year Noah in eighteen forty five, and that completed
the family. Trying to figure out why the Littleton brothers served,
that is where the best historical forensic researcher would really
(05:02):
have a challenge. You could go to the newspapers, but
there didn't seem to be a lot of information about
the Littletons in there, so we really don't know. But
Iowa has kind of a Janis personality when it comes
to the Civil War. There were virtually no important battles
fought in Iowa during the Civil War, but there was
(05:24):
a sense of dedication and duty that the people who
targeted Iowa as the place they were going to sink
their roots, that they wanted to support that fierce patriotism
that they seem to have, and that's what kept drawing
so many people to enlist in the service from Iowa.
(05:45):
I think that's part of what drove them into enlisting
as they did. Thomas was the first one to enlist.
He enlisted in July sixteenth of eighteen sixty one in
Company C fifth Iowa Infantry. Next was William Lyttleton. He
(06:05):
enlisted in September twenty first of eighteen sixty one Company
K eighth Iowa Infantry. The third Littleton brother to enlist
was George Lyttleton. He was the oldest brother. He enlisted
in eighteen sixty two, and because he was working at
the time in Illinois, he enlisted in Illinois. The three
final brothers were Kendall Lyttleton, John, and Noah. And those
(06:30):
three brothers all enlisted on August twenty first, eighteen sixty
two and served in Company F of the nineteenth Iowa Infantry,
and their service was to be relatively short lived.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And you've been listening to John Busby tell the story
of the Littletons, and Littleton's lost all six of the
boys in that family, the bloodline, four sisters remained, and
so many of these stories are untold until they're told,
and you're hearing it here on our American Stories. John
Busby telling the story of the Littleton family and so
(07:08):
many other families ravaged by the Civil War, the highest
death count and all of the wars America has ever fought,
six hundred thousand plus. The story continues the Littleton Brothers
here on our American story. Folks, if you love the
(07:30):
stories we tell about this great country, and especially the
stories of America's rich past, know that all of our
stories about American history, from war to innovation, culture and faith,
are brought to us by the great folks at Hillsdale College,
a place where students study all the things that are
beautiful in life and all the things that are good
in life. And if you can't get to Hillsdale, Hillsdale
(07:50):
will come to you with their free and terrific online courses.
Go to Hillsdale dot edu to learn more. And we
returned to our American stories and the story of the
(08:12):
six Littleton brothers who all enlisted to fight in our
nation's Civil War, our bloodiest war. Here again is John
Busby of the Culture Buzz on KFMG ninety eight point nine,
and here's Monty.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
At the outbreak of the Civil War, all six Littleton
brothers would enlist a fight for the Union, and some
of them would see action at Prairie Grove, Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Unfortunately, it was that battle that took its greatest and
quickest toll on the Littleton family. In battle, Kendall died
and was buried in a mass grave there. John was
severely wounded in the thigh and he was transferred to Fayette,
Arkansas to hopefully recover. However, he died eight days later
(09:04):
and is buried in an unmarked grave there in the
National Cemetery. Chances are that he didn't die so much
from his wounds as from the infection. Noah did survive
the Prairie Grove battle, but it was interesting on what
happened to him. He shows that even accidents can happen
in war, and that's exactly what happened to Noah. Noah
(09:29):
was part of a foraging group. That's one thing that
in the Civil War. The troops had to forage what
was available in the land that they were crisscrossing. Noah
was on a foraging trip that included ferrying goods that
they acquired across the White River, which is down between
Missouri and Arkansas. During the time that they were ferrying things,
(09:53):
the rains had kind of made the river turbulent. There's
a great page here. This was a first hand account
by Timothy Phillips, a member of Company A of the
Iowa nineteenth. Several days ago, nearly one hundred men were
sent out as guards to a forage train. They returned
(10:14):
the day the new boat was built under the supervision
Lieutenant Fous the first light duty. The boat was considered
ample to carry two six meal teams across loaded and
a number of horsemen and footmen. The boat was unmanageable
in passing to the center of the stream and sunk,
water pouring over the boat, washing one team and several
(10:36):
men from the boat, which after became submerged broke loose.
The water was very cold and water setting from shore
made it require superhuman strength reach it, while we as
gazers could not render assistance and be only witnesses of
their death struggles. One of those who perished was Noah Thomas,
(11:01):
the first to enlist, ironically fought more battles and served
in actual I guess you'd call combat situations than any
of the other brothers. He fought in the battles of
Ayuka in Champion Hill, the Siege of Vicksburg, and Mission Ridge,
and that's where he was captured. When he was captured,
(11:22):
he was sent to Andersonville. Andersonville was located in Georgia
and it was situated in a wide open field area,
just bare dirt ground. There was a very sluggish stream
of terrible water that did come through it a little
bit not pure. Food rations were inconsistent at best. The
(11:48):
prisoners were packed in. If a disease was brought in
by a prisoner, it could run rampant through the ranks
of the prisoners there. It was a gulag type situation.
When worried about what Andersonville was about got around to
the Union Army, they knew that if any of their
(12:08):
compatriots were sent to Andersonville, it was almost assuredly a
death stamp. And after two and a half almost three
years of captivity, that is when he died of chronic
diarrhea in Andersonville, and he ended up being buried at
the Andersonville National Cemetery. William was in Company k Athio Infantry.
(12:37):
He was the second of the Littleton brothers to enlist.
He fought in the battles of Shiloh and he was
wounded there. Jackson and the Siege of Vicksburg, and that's
where he contracted a disease.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
A disease he would later die of like so many others,
in a Saint Louis hospital. But what happened to George.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
George was in Company B of the sixty fifth Illinois Infantry.
He did have a battle, and it was at a
name that's well known. It was a battle at Harper's Ferry.
He was captured and imprisoned briefly. But in these early days,
there were prisoner exchanges. The honor system was in place
where my side has this many prisoners, we want to
(13:21):
exchange for that many prisoners on your side, and they
will not go into combat for X number of months
or something like that. George was reassigned after the prisoner exchange,
and he was reassigned to Chicago, where they had what
was kind of the Union's version of Andersonville. The winters
(13:44):
were brutal, and that is where he probably had pneumonia.
He did get back home and he lived for a
while longer, but he finally succumbed to the brutal toll
that the military life. The diseases that he encountered took
on his body, and that's what made George become the
(14:08):
sixth victim of the six Littleton Brothers. The Littleton Brothers
story resonates with me because it encompasses a national level
of kind of cross sectioning of what happened during the
Civil War. In a single family, you had all these
(14:29):
brothers enlist in the war, All the sisters were married
back home, some of the men multiple marriages because they
outlive husbands, things like that. But with the brothers you
had the diversity of ways that those who served perished.
You had in battle, You had wounded from battle and
(14:50):
perished afterwards, probably a combination of the wound and disease.
You had, disease, you had accident, imprisonment. You had all
these different ways in this microcosmic perspective of six brothers.
And that's where the tragedy is. Because these days we
(15:11):
don't think of having to endure this kind of tragedy,
and the Littleton Brothers is a special, unequaled sacrifice tragedy
that needs to come to light again.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And a good way to bring it to light would
be a monument, a monument that only recently came about,
even though the idea had been floating around for a
long time.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
The Lewisasa newspaper one hundred years ago actually commented about
this when they talked about the six brothers. There needs
to be a memorial built to honor the lives of
these six brothers from Toolesborough in Lewaisa County, who all
died as a result of volunteering to fight in the
Civil War. When it was dedicated on Flag Day, June
(15:57):
fourteenth of twenty sixteen, the keynote was delivered by Tom Moraine,
who was an exceptionally well known historian and scholar. He
read something that has always stuck with me. In his words,
he quoted the Bible. The hand of the Lord was
upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit
(16:20):
of the Lord and set me in the middle of
a valley. It was full of bones. He led me
back and forth among them, and I saw a great
many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that
were very dry. He asked me, son of Man, can
these bones live? And with that question begins the Bible
account of how Ezekiel watched dry bones take on a
new life. And in this story, the people of Israel
(16:42):
are the dry bones, who had lost touch with their heritage,
but who could live again if they recover that historical memory.
In a similar way, the Littleton brothers would not mean
much to us today if we know them only through
the bare bones of the census record. George, John Thomas,
Ken Old, William, and Noah.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
And a great job is always by Monte Montgomery on
the production of the piece. And a special thanks to
John Busby of the Culture Buzz on KFMG ninety eight
nine for sharing with us was remarkable story of the
Lowaisa County, Iowa family, the Littletons and the Lyttleton brothers again,
all six perished in the Civil War or just thereafter.
