BiographyFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hannibal Day served as an officer in the regular army before and during the American Civil War, briefly commanding a brigade in the Army of the Potomac.
Hannibal Day was born in Montpelier, Vermont on February 15, 1804. He attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, graduating 23rd in a class of 35 in 1823. Day was assigned to the infantry, serving in Indian wars, including the Seminole War and in the Mexican War. Day was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel of the 2nd U.S. Infantry on February 25, 1861. He was serving at Fort Abercrombie in the Dakota Territory when the Civil War erupted. He was on recruiting duty in the early months of the conflict. During that time of service Day became colonel of the 6th U.S. Infantry on January 7, 1862.
Colonel Day joined the Army of the Potomac on June 28, 1863. He served as a brigade commander in the second division of V Corps under BG Romeyn B. Ayres at the Battle of Gettysburg. His brigade of regulars lost substantial casualties when it was attacked during deployment into the Wheatfield on July 2, 1863. The attack was executed by the brigade of Brig Gen William T. Wofford, and it cost Day's brigade 382 casualties.[1] (Afterwards, Day's brigade was combined with that of Sidney Burbank, serving under Burbank in the Bristoe Campaign and the Mine Run Campaign. The regulars later were made part of a brigade under Ayers in General Charles Griffin's first division V Corps.)
Day was elderly, one of the oldest officers commanding at Gettysburg. (Only George S. Greene was older.) He left the Army of the Potomac on August 22, 1863 for less demanding assignments. He commanded Fort Hamilton in New York from August of 1863 until June 8, 1864. He played minor administrative roles after that. A brevet rank of brigadier general was awarded to him on March 13, 1865.
Day lived long after the war. He was one of the oldest graduates of West Point when he died, a widower, in Morristown, New Jersey on March 26, 1891. He was buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Leominster, Massachusetts.

He was commissioned captain, 7 July 1838, major, 23 February 1852, lieutenant colonel, 25 February 1861, and colonel, 7 January 1862. He commanded a brigade of the 5th corps in the Pennsylvania campaign in 1863, taking part in the battle of Gettysburg. He was retired from active duty, "on his own application after forty consecutive years of service," 1 August 1863, and employed on military commissions and courts-martial from 25 July 1864. On 13 March 1865, he was brevetted brigadier general for long service.

As Colonel, Hannibal Day commanded the 1st Brigade, 2nd Division, of the 5th Corps, Army of the Potomac. He was one of very few Regular U.S. Army officers to decline a Breveted General Officer’s position in the Volunteer Army during the Civil War. He led one of only two U.S. Regular Army Brigades in to the “Valley of Death”, in actions near the Round Tops at the Battle of Gettysburg and was promoted Brigadier General, Regular U.S. Army by Congress for his bravery.

(1804-91) Born in Montpelier, Vermont, Feb. 15, 1804, he graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1823. He served with the 2nd U.S. Infantry in the Black Hawk War, the Seminole Wars of 1838-39 and 1841-42, and in the Mexican War. During the Civil War, he served as colonel of the 6th U.S. Infantry. He commanded the 1st brigade, Ayres Division, of Sykes 5th Corps, Army of the Potomac, during the Gettysburg campaign. In his Gettysburg battle report, his superior, General Romeyn B. Ayres wrote that Day performed his duties with coolness and gallantry. Day escaped serious injury when he had a horse shot out from under him on the second day's fighting, on July 2, 1863. During the battle of Gettysburg, his brigade suffered 58 killed and 305 wounded. He was promoted to brevet brigadier general, March 13, 1865.
