- Lot Description
Approx. 36.75 in. long. Dark wood with deep relief carvings of a snake, shamrocks, vines, and leaves. Metal tip with silver cap. Cap engraved "Genl. W.H. Noble/91 Stratford Ave/B'port/Conn".
William Henry Noble was commissioned as a Colonel of the 17th Connecticut infantry in August of 1862 at age 49. He commanded the regiment during its term of service in the defences of Baltimore and construction of Fort Kearny as well as its assignment to the 12th Army Corps, where it was engaged at the Battle of Chancellorsville. It was the only unit commended for its action during the rout caused by General Stonewall Jackson's flank attack, as it bore a great deal of enemy fire attempting to hold ground for the Federal forces. It was in this fighting that Noble was wounded through the arm, severing an artery. He was relieved of command and for a time sent home to recover.
He rejoined the regiment in time to take command of the brigade under the 17th and served at the Battle of Gettysburg in the midst of its defense of Cemetery Hill, the regiment being reduced to less than 200 men for service. He would continue to lead the 17th through further action, including participating in the captures of Forts Wagner and Gregg. The regiment was then moved into Florida, where during rigorous campaigning Nobel was captured by Confederate scouts while traveling to Jacksonville from St. Augustine. He was sent to Andersonville, and while captive was promoted to Brigadier General by brevet. He was paroled April 8, 1865, and resided in Connecticut until his death in 1894.Very good condition. Cane only has minor cracks. Name and address still legible.Condition
