with the Sixth and Nineteenth corps, and send Crook to meet Breckenridge. But Sheridan replied ons with the Sixth and Nineteenth corps, holding Crook's division in reserve, to be used as a turningight, where the Martinsburg road comes in, and Crook was now directed to find the left of the rebeleel of the main line of battle to support him. Crook advanced with spirit, forcing the enemy rapidts of Strasburg, and at once determined to use Crook as a turning column again, and strike the enem of national troops by day could be observed. Crook was therefore concealed in the forest on the 2 Early's rear. Before daylight on the 22nd, Crook marched to Little North mountain, the western ttracted, and when a general firing had begun, Crook suddenly burst from the woods on the hillside,vement, first Ricketts swinging in and joining Crook, and then the remainder of the Sixth and Ninessing, but this does not include the losses in Crook's command or the cavalry.

the line of this valley, and the investing army supplied. . . With Crook's force the Valley can be held. To this Grant replied on the 3rd othe situation of the national camps. The cavalry was on the right, Crook had the left, while the Sixth and Nineteenth corps, under Getty andy fog, Gordon crossed the river, crept unobserved under the guns of Crook, re-crossed the North Fork at Bowman's ford, and before daybreak hahis regiment, which had returned to West Virginia. He served under Crook, in the movement against the Tennessee railroad in the spring of 18ed success in the battle of Cloyd's Mountain. Afterwards, still in Crook's command, he joined Hunter's army in the march against Lynchburg, le of Winchester. In that important encounter, he had the right of Crook's command, and it was therefore his troops which, in conjunction wiFisher's Hill he led a division in the turning movement assigned to Crook's command.

ayed them—during the long night-watches of the siege of Petersburg. Even when Grant had thrown himself on his bed, one of his staff remained on duty outside his tent, till morning. We had learned of plots to capture prominent officers; Generals Crook and Kelley had thus been abducted from Cumberland, Maryland, by rebel raiders. on a dark night some tiny craft from Richmond might elude the vigilance of the fleet, and a spy or a traitor might be found willing to risk his own life for the chr General Thomas to abandon all the railroad from Columbia to Decatur, thence to Stevenson. This will give him much additional force. At the same time Grant planned the transfer of A. J. Smith and Mower's commands from Missouri to Tennessee: If Crook goes to Missouri, he will drive Price out of the country in time to send A. J. Smith and Mower to Tennessee, before Hood can get far, even if Sherman's movements do not turn him, as I think they will. Canby's forces also will be relieved for op

Gibbes's brigade was held in reserve about a mile ns, Devin on the right and Custer on the left, while Crook remained at the rear to hold Dinwiddie and the roads losses of the cavalry at the battle of Five Forks. Crook's division, 3,000 strong, was south of Dinwiddie on d as the left of the army of the Potomac. Excluding Crook, the cavalry strength was probably 8,000; at Sherida

cut him off; but Smith and Gregg's brigades of Crook's division were at once dispatched to the supprook to attack the flank of the train. But if Crook should find the defence too strong, Merritt was to pass to the left, and while Crook held fast and pressed the enemy, Merritt would attack at a point further on. Then Crook was to follow Merritt's example, and so on, alternately, until one or tetreating doggedly again. On Sheridan's left, Crook and Merritt were executing the manoeuvre he haeatly impeded by the movements of both Ord and Crook in his front. Nevertheless, he advanced to thd, in which Gregg was captured and the head of Crook's division was repelled. Thus, two separated on the southern side to Buffalo creek, while Crook was ordered to recross the Appomattox and rejoed at Liberty. This must be Stoneman.
