After the battle-telegraph and signal service- movement by the left flank
More desperate fighting has not been witnessed on this continent than that of the 5th and 6th of May.
Our victory consisted in having successfully crossed a formidable stream, almost in the face of an enemy, and in getting the army together as a unit.
We gained an advantage on the morning of the 6th, which, if it had been followed up, must have proven very decisive.
In the evening the enemy gained an advantage; but was speedily repulsed.
As we stood at the close, the two armies were relatively in about the same condition to meet each other as when the river divided them.
But the fact of having safely crossed was a victory.
Our losses in the Wilderness were very severe.
Those of the Confederates must have been even more so; but I have no means of speaking with accuracy upon this point.
