Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 3. (ed. Frank Moore), Doc. 114. fight at Goose Creek, Virginia, October 22, 1861. (search)
Doc. 114. fight at Goose Creek, Virginia, October 22, 1861. General Gorman's report. Brigade Headquarters, near Edwards' Ferry, Oct. 26, 1861. To Capt. Charles Smith, Assistant Adjutant-General, Brigadier-Gen. Stone's Division: sir: I have the honor to communicate to the General commanding the division, the facts and events connected with my brigade, in the advance across the Potomac, made under his order. On the 20th inst., I received orders to detach two companies of the First Mieliable assurance of their efficiency. It may not be improper here to say, that the result of this movement, as a reconnoissance, must prove highly beneficial to any future movement in that direction. Each order was strictly followed, and the desired result accomplished. Trusting that I have performed satisfactorily the somewhat difficult and responsible duty to which Gen. Stone and Gen. Banks assigned me, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. A. Gorman, Brigadier-General.
