“John Henry Hobart Ward: Unsung hero or just a fellow doing his job?”
LBG Chuck Rebesco

John H. H. Ward and his brigade anchored the left of the Army of the Potomac line on July 2. Their story is often subsumed into a narrative of 3rd Corps collapse. The performance of Ward and his men is unrecognized, and their contribution to the Union army success is overlooked. We will examine the experience of these men and the active, timely leadership shown by John Ward in the fight for Houck’s Ridge.
