While the brisk work was going on and I was pushing for Wauhatchie as fast as I could, the firing on Geary's front suddenly ceased. As I emerged into an open space I could see numbers of men moving about. I called to the nearest squad: Who goes there We are Jenkins's men, was the prompt reply. I knew that we had no such commander there, so I said: Have you whipped the Yankees! The sa
