The charge of the eighth Pennsylvania cavalry.
extracted by permission and condensed from a true history of the charge of the 8th Pennsylvania cavalry at Chancellorsville, by Pennock Huey, Philadelphia, 1885.--editors.
I. By Pennock Huey, Brevet Brigadier-General, U. S. V.
Just as we reached Hazel Grove, at Scott's Run Crossing, at half-past 6 o'clock P. M., May 2d, a staff-officer rode up in a state of great excitement and reported to General Sickles that the enemy had flanked General Howard's corps, and that he had been sent for a regiment of General Pleasonton's cavalry.
General Sickles immediately ordered General Pleasonton to send a regiment.
General Pleasonton then ordered me to report with my regiment as quickly as possible to General Howard, whom I would probably find near the old Wilderness church.
There were no other orders given to me or to any officer of my regiment.
General Huey was at this time Major (afterward Colonel) of the 8th Pennsylvania cavalry, an

The 20th Maine at Little Round Top.
condensed from the Lincoln County news, Waldoboro, Maine, march 13th, 1885.--editors. by H. S. Melcher, 20TH Maine regiment.
The Confederate force designated to take possession of Little Round Top appears to have been Robertson's brigade, consisting of the 1st, 4th, and 5th Texas and the 3d Arkansas; and Law's brigade, consisting of the 4th, 44th, 48th, 47th, and 15th Alabama, both of Hood's division.
The former was to assault in front, while Law's brigade was to attack in the rear of the hill [see p. 318]; but Robertson, finding he could not cover the entire front with his brigade, detached the 44th, 48th, and 4th Alabama from Law's brigade about the time they arrived at the foot of Round Top in their advance and connected them with Robertson's line, then well in front of Little Round Top. This left the 47th and 15th Alabama to carry out the flanking movement alone, which they did, passing up the southern side of Round Top, and halting some

After the fall of Vicksburg I urged strongly upon the Government the propriety of a movement against Mobile.
General Rosecrans had been at Murfreesboro‘, Tennessee, with a large and well-equipped army from early in the year 1863, with Bragg confronting him with a force quite equal to his own at first, considering that it was on the defensive.
But after the investment of Vicksburg, Bragg's army was largely depleted to strengthen Johnston, in Mississippi, who was being reenforced to raise the siege.
I frequently wrote to General Halleck suggesting that Rosecrans should move against Bragg.
By so doing he would either detain the latter's troops where they were, or lay Chattanooga open to capture.
General Halleck strongly approved the suggestion, and finally wrote me that he had repeatedly ordered Rosecrans to advance, but that the latter
