Varina Davis, Jefferson Davis: Ex-President of the Confederate States of America, A Memoir by his Wife, Volume 2, Chapter 34: campaign against Pope.—Second Manassas.—Sharpsburg.—Fredericksburg. (search)
t barely 14,000 men. The centre had been fiercely assailed, but was held by Longstreet with Miller's guns of the Washington Artillery, General Lee's report of the battle. and a thin gray line of infantry, some of whom stood with unloaded guns without ammunition, but waving their colors to give semblance of support. This must be one of the severest tests to the bravery of troops, to stand as target without the means or the excitement of retaliating. All honor to them. The battle was fought against great odds, and to have resisted this mass of men shows of what stuff our soldiers were made. All the next day Lee remained on the battle-field, thinking McClellan would again attack, but he, not being so minded, the Confederate army recrossed the Potomac during the night into Virginia. Late in October, 1862, General McClellan followed Lee into Virginia. Here he was relieved and succeeded by General Burnside. On December 13th the battle of Fredericksburg was fought.
