d by this means the boats could be pulled across, hand over hand, and thus make more frequent trips. The First California regiment, Col. Baker, then acting Brigadier General, the New York (Tammany) Col. Coggswell, the Twentieth Massachusetts, Col. Lee, a section of Vaughn's battery and two mountain howitzers were poled across to the island. After some difficulty a fourth scow was hauled out of the canal and into the river, by Col. Baker's command, but in trying to get the artillery across onelves of most of their clothing, succeeded in reaching the island, while some secured boards and logs, but the shots from above fell incessantly upon them and large numbers were wounded or killed. Col. Cogswell, of the Forty-Second New York and Col. Lee of the Twentieth Massachusetts were captured. There was a farmhouse on the island, directly in the line of transit, and this was at once turned into a hospital, every room being occupied by the wounded. In consequence of the shooting of wo

Chapter 5: life at camp Benton. On returning to the camp at Poolesville, on October 24 the second day after the battle of Ball's Bluff, it was found that the wound of Gen. Lander and the capture of Col. Lee left Col. Hinks in command of the First Brigade. The Nineteenth Regiment was sent no more on picket duty at the river and the real drill and discipline, under Lieut. Col. Devereux, who was left in command, was again begun. The hard work resulted in rapid improvement in the regiment, as is evidenced by the following letter: Headquarters Corps of Observation, Poolesville, Nov. 13, 1861. Lieut. Col. Devereux, commanding. 19TH Mass. Vols. Sir:— The general commanding directs me to express to you the gratification with which he noticed the advancement in drill made by the regiment under your command, as exhibited at the review of yesterday. So much progress in so short a time gives promise of admirable results and reflects great credit upon both instructors and instr

. The honorable wounds received by Colonel Hinks are, in themselves, a eulogy of his courage and patriotism in his country's call, and earnest solicitude for the welfare of his officers and men. In honor of the memory of our young, but courageous major, Howe, let the words dropped from his lips after receiving his mortal wound be the highest praise which can be spoken of a true patriot: Let me die here on the field: 'tis more glorious to die on the field of battle. Capt. Chas. U. Devereux was wounded while faithfully performing his duties; being prostrate at the time from continued illness, fatigue and exposure. Lieut. David Lee, of Company E, died faithfully at the post of duty. Sergeant Major E. M. Newcomb, since promoted, and killed at Fredericksburg, proved to his superior officers that he enlisted for his country's good and from purely patriotic motives. I am, general, Your obedient servant, Edmund Rice, Captain, Nineteenth Mass. Vols., Commanding Regiment.

(This was exactly the plan adopted by Grant two years later, by which he took Richmond and destroyed Lee.) Halleck, however, deemed the idea dangerous and impracticable and so, after a stay of six weeks at Harrison's Landing, during which time the army had recovered from its losses and greatly improved its condition, orders came for the evacuation of

ops were not in good health or spirits, but a few days in Maryland would do much for them. Rumors were soon afloat that Lee was in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Lee had received the thanks of the Confederate Congress for his brilliant achievements Lee had received the thanks of the Confederate Congress for his brilliant achievements and with his trusted Lieutenant Generals, Jackson and Longstreet, crossed the Potomac near the scene of the battle of Ball's Bluff, threatening both Washington and Baltimore. He marched into Frederick City, Md. and issued his proclamation to the ciy again into the hands of McClellan. He at once took the field again to re-organize the forces, and started in pursuit of Lee. The restoration of McClellan contributed a healthy enthusiasm and on Sept. 7 the Army moved in three columns, the right w the outskirts. Here the command was brought into close column by division, and a rigid order against foraging was read. Lee's proclamation of a few days before had been couched in terms which he thought would cause the citizens of Maryland to ral

Chapter 20: to Falmouth, in pursuit of Lee. Burnside supersedes McClellan. At 2 P. M. on Oct. 29 the Nineteenth regiment joined its brigade and took up the line of march for Falmouth, in pursuit of Lee. Gen. Couch was in command, Gen. Sumner having been granted leave of absence. The day was beautiful, the sun shining brightly in a clear sky and the air just cool enough to make marching . It being McClellan's intention to throw himself between Stonewall Jackson in the valley and Lee at Culpepper, on Nov. 6 the direction of the march was changed to the southeast and the troops redown the Rappahannock toward Fredericksburg on Nov. 15. This gave Jackson an opportunity to join Lee, who, as a result, was well prepared for any move of Burnside against him. A march of 14 miles any unusual incident occurring. Then the fall rains set in and the river became badly swollen. Lee, finding that Burnside did not improve his opportunity for securing the Heights, sent a large det

eights was protected may be obtained from the following incident: Gen. E. P. Alexander, my engineer and superintendent of artillery, had been placing the guns, and, in going over the field with him before the battle, I noticed an idle cannon. I suggested that he place it so as to aid in covering the field in front of Marye's Hill. He answered, General, we cover that ground now so well that we will comb it as if with a fine comb. A chicken could not live on that field when we open on it. Gen. Lee, who was with me on Lee's Hill, became uneasy when he saw the attacks so promptly renewed and pushed forward with such persistence, and feared the Federals might break through our lines. After the third charge he said to me General, they are massing very heavily and will break your line, I am afraid. General, I replied, if you put every man now on the other side of the Potomac on that field to approach me over the same line, and give me plenty of ammunition, I will kill them all before t
