y numbers of the Southern Historical Society Papers contain accounts of the attack, defence and capture of Fort Gregg, April 2, 1865, called at the time Battery Gregg. The first mentioned number has the report of Brig.-Gen. James H. Lane, accompanied by several letters: one of his own addressed to myself, and one from each of the following named officers of his brigade, Lieut. Geo. H. Snow, Lieut. F. B. Craige, and Lieut. A. B. Howard, of the Thirty-third North Carolina, and one from Lieut. D. M. Rigler, Thirty-seventh North Carolina regiment; there is also a short extract from a letter of Col. R. V. Cowan, Thirty-third North Carolina, addressed to Gen. Lane, refering, as do the other mentioned letters, to this fight.

Rigler says: After the enemy drove us from the works a portion of the brigade fell back in rear of General Mahone's qade with a lieutenant-colonel; do not think there were any more. The lieutenant-colonel was wounded. I suppose Lieutenant Rigler meant the quarters occupied by General Mahone the previous winter. General Hill was not killed near there. If theted, four or five hundred yards forward on the plank road, and did not retreat as soon as fired on by the enemy, as Lieutenant Rigler states, but held the position until ordered to retreat by General Wilcox, through his adjutant, Captain Glover. However, I must give Lieutenant Rigler credit for eye-sight a little better than Lieutenants Snow and Howard, for he thinks he saw twenty five men of Harris' brigade. In the same number, page 22, in a letter to General Wilcox, late his division com
