Smith's Brigade saved the day.

There appears in the Confederate Veteran, August, 1906, pp. 364-65, the following: ‘Concerning Military Career of General J. E. Johnston, President Davis wrote, February 18, 1865: ‘Indeed we were saved from a fatal defeat at the First Battle of Manassas only by the promptness of General E. Kirby Smith, who, acting without orders and moving by a change of direction, succeeded in reaching the battlefield in time to avert a disaster.’ Note the words ‘fatal defeat,’ etc.’

Richmond, VA. 1906.
