General James Longstreet, From Manassas to Appomattox, Chapter 17: preliminaries of the great battle. (search)
as well developed, the skirmishers were retired, and the order to assault followed,--the right regiments of Newton's brigade supporting Bartlett's assault, the regiments on the left supporting Torbert's. The Confederates made a bold effort to hold, but the attack was too well organized and too cleverly pushed to leave the matter long in doubt. Their flanks, being severely crowded upon, soon began to drop off, when a sweeping charge of Slocum's line gained the position. The brigades of General Brooks and Colonel Irwin of General Smith's division were advanced to Slocum's left and joined in pursuit, which was so rapid that the Confederates were not able to rally a good line; the entire mountain was abandoned to the Federals, and the pursuit ended. Some four hundred prisoners, seven hundred stand of arms, and one gun were their trophies in this affair. General Franklin's total loss was five hundred and thirty-three. Rebellion Record, vol.

ellan, to force the enemy to discontinue his work in strengthening his batteries, to silence his fire, and to gain control of the dam existing at this point. Letter to Adjutant-General Thomas, April 19th. Smith brought up his three brigades, Brooks', Hancock's and Davidson's, and during the morning kept up a vigorous artillery fire. Then, at 3 o'clock, under cover of a sharp artillery and musketry fire, two attacking and two supporting companies of the Third Vermont regiment crossed the st record in this battle. Five of its guns were posted in Fort Magruder, and one under Lieutenant Guion was in a redoubt. When Webber's battery, afterward captured, was trying to get in position, Manly's guns, the first of which was fired by Sergeant Brooks, largely aided the infantry in so disabling it that it never rendered effective service. Longstreet's fight for time was a marked success in that he held his own all day and captured five of the enemy's guns. On General Longstreet's left

ce of 20,000 men, who had been continuously marching and fighting for four days, penning in their defenses an army of over 60,000, while its commander cries for aid to a lieutenant who is miles away and beset by a larger force than he himself commands. And this slack-sinewed commander is the very same who initiated the campaign with the watchword: Fight! Fight!! Fight!!! and with the motto: Celerity, audacity and resolution are everything in war. McLaws took position at Salem church. Brooks and Newton, of Sedgwick's corps, lost 1,500 men in an attempt to move him, but failed. General Lee then ordered the rest of Anderson's division to reinforce McLaws, and directed these forces and Early's command to strike Sedgwick. This was done, and though a loss of 2,000 men was inflicted, Sedgwick after holding his ground until night crossed the river, and Lee's flank was clear. Sedgwick's corps sustained a loss of 4,590 in these engagements. Rebellion Records, XXV, 1, 191. In this l

roops. He was immediately repulsed, and among the brave men who met him, the Twentieth North Carolina regiment, under Colonel [T. F.] Toon, of the brigade commanded by Brig.-Gen. R. D. Johnston, captured his flag. It was brought to me by Maj. John S. Brooks, of that regiment, who received his promotion for gallantry in the battle of Chancellorsville, with the request that it be given to Governor Vance. I take great pleasure in complying with the wish of the gallant captors, and respectfully nfederate troops took position by bright moonlight. Just after dawn a fog, so dense that a horseman could not be seen at fifteen paces, settled down and greatly retarded operations. General Ransom's left was confronted by Generals Weitzel's and Brooks' Federal divisions. General Hoke faced Terry's and Turner's divisions. The Federals occupied a line of works that the Confederates had constructed. In front of a good part of the Federal line, telegraph wires had been stretched near the ground
