Again, on the 19th September, 1867, in an article which appeared in the Richmond Dispatch and Petersburg Index in response to a piece claiming that the infantry garrison of Fort Gregg was composed entirely of the Mississippi brigade of Harris, Mahone's division, I made the same statement that I did to Generals Lee and Wilcox.

I have always believed there were about two hundred; it is polant Louisiania artillerists, that others who at this late date now come forward and claim all the honors of that occasion, should have remained utterly silent. General Harris refers to General Lane's official report, found in the January number, 1877, of the Southern Historical Society Papers, and on examining that I find it — the report — is dated April 10, 1865, eight days, and not fifteen years, after the battle. The same number has a letter addressed to myself by General Lane on this sub
