General James Longstreet, From Manassas to Appomattox, Chapter 10: fighting along the Chickahominy. (search)
and noon passed. A few minutes after ten A. M., General Branch received a note informing him that, at the hour of its writing, General Jackson's column was crossing the Central Railroad. He assembled his command, crossed the Chickahominy, and marched down along the route designated for his column, without sending information to the division commander. Of his march he reported,-- Interruption by the enemy, but with no other effect than to retard without checking our march. Near Crenshaw's the road on which the column commanded by Major-General Ewell [of Jackson's] was advancing and that on which I was advancing approach within one-fourth of a mile of each other. The heads of our columns reached this point simultaneously, and, after a short personal interview between General Ewell and myself, we proceeded on our respective routes. After dislodging the enemy from several ambuscades with only a small loss to my command, I reached the Meadow Bridge road, when I learned fr

lifted his foot and stamped it down in vexation on the wet bark, which parted and slipped from the smooth, slick bole of the tree, and down came Jim, with a great splash like the mules, hide and hair and Crenshaw gray, all into and under the mud. I don't think I ever heard such a shout as greeted this knight of the sorrowful figure as he emerged, from his thighs up, the liquid mud dripping from every part of the upper half of his person. But it cured him and his suit as well, the beautiful Crenshaw gray thenceforward exhibiting a sickly, jaundiced, butter-nut hue, like the clothes some backwoods cracker regiments wore when they first came to Virginia. Only one other feature of our march up the Peninsula merits notice, and that was our almost actual starvation on the way. The cause of. this was separation from our brigade, which was probably ten miles from Williamsburg before we were ordered to follow. In the condition of the roads already described, catching up with any particula

Editors. betokened to the foot-cavalry an infringement of their specialty, demanding emphatic rebuke. Some remnant of the old esprit de corps yet survives, and prompts this narrative. After the check to Pope's advance at Cedar Mountain, on the 9th of August, and while we awaited the arrival of Longstreet's troops, A. P. Hill's division rested in camp at Crenshaw's farm. Our brigade (Field's) was rather a new one in organization and experience, most of us having smelt powder for the first time in the Seven Days before Richmond. We reached the field at Cedar Mountain too late to be more than slightly engaged, but on the 10th and 11th covered the leisurely retreat to Orange Court House without molestation. When, about a week later, Pope began to retreat in the direction of the Rappahannock, we did some sharp marching through Stevensburg and Brandy

its position in reserve, the fire of musketry directly in its front slackened. A few crackling shots were heard to our left, along Longstreet's division, and then a succession of volleys, which were kept up at intervals during the remainder of the evening. The musketry-fire on our right was soon renewed, and the battle raged with increased fury. Our batteries along our whole front again reopened, and Col. Walker's artillery regiment, composed of Latham's, Letcher's, Braxton's, Pegram's, Crenshaw's, Johnson's, and McIntosh's batteries, stationed in the open low grounds to the east of the railroad at Hamilton's Station, moved forward several hundred yards in the direction of Fredericksburgh. Hill's and Early's troops had driven the enemy from the woods and across the railroad in the direction of their pontoon-bridges, near Deep Run. Our men pursued them a mile and a half across the bottom-land, and fell back only when they had gotten under the shelter of their batteries. Our tro

tain R. B. McRae and J. G. Knox, of companies C and A, under my command. Captain McRae succeeded in bringing away the enemy's flag from the first skirmish, near Crenshaw's, and Captain Knox did his best in effecting the dislodgment of the enemy. After this second skirmish, company F was withdrawn from the front, and company A orted and fortified by the enemy. At two P. M. we advanced to Cold Harbor, where we rested a few moments, preparatory to a charge upon the enemy's positions. The Crenshaw battery was ordered forward, which, in a gallant style, opened upon the enemy's position in front. This disclosed two heavy batteries of the enemy, who commencece, were posted. Here we remained for about two hours, exposed to canister, grape, and musketry, while a heavy cannonade was going on over our heads between the Crenshaw battery and those of the enemy. At four P. M., you, having determined to take a battery which had been throwing grape and canister on our right, called for the

We semy, who were in the wood beyond the field of corn. On passing beyond the small cluster of woods, to the right of the Crenshaw battery, we saw the enemy retreating in confusion before Captain Turner's skirmishers. We continued to advance until we under my command,) A. P. Hill's light division, moved from its bivouac, between Gordonsville and Orange Court-House, to Crenshaw's farm, near the Rapidan river, where it remained until the twentieth of August, when, crossing the river at Summersvillore reported.

General J. E. B. Stuart, Commanding Cavalry: General — I desire you to rest your men to-day, refresh your horses, prepare rations and everything for the march to-morrow. Get what information you can of fords, roads, and position of enemy, so that your march can be made understandingly and with vigor. I sent to you Captain Mason, an experienced bridge builder, &c., whom I think will be able to aid you in the destruction of the bridges, &c. When that is accomplished, or while in train of execution, as circumstances permit, I wish you to operate back towards Culpeper

mpanies that were more immediately under my command. Captain J. McLeod Turner, of Company F, had assigned him the perilous duty of covering my front, and skirmishing through woods, open fields and swamps, for the purpose of discovering the enemy's pickets. Whenever he became engaged he was promptly and fearlessly sustained by Captains R. B. McRae and J. G. Knox, of Companies C and A, under my command. Captain McRae succeeded in bringing away the enemy's flag from the first skirmish, near Crenshaw's, and Captain Knox did his best in effecting the dislodgment of the enemy. After this second skirmish, Company F was withdrawn from the front, and Company A ordered to assume that position, in order to divide the labors of the march. Captain Knox's company was actively engaged for a while in firing upon an actual or supposed enemy in our front but there was no response. About the middle of the afternoon, having learned that the greater portion of Major-General A. P. Hill's division ha
