George H. Gordon, From Brook Farm to Cedar Mountain, Preface. (search)
, I render thanks for an opportunity to examine advance sheets of the strength and losses of the Federal and Confederate armies in the battle of Cedar Mountain, and the official reports of that battle. From Colonel Allan's valuable work, recently published, --Jackson's Valley Campaign, --I have made extracts, for which credit is duly given. I further acknowledge my obligations to this gentleman for his permission to copy those maps in his volume which represent the routes of Jackson and Ewell from Swift Run Gap in .the movement against Banks, and the battles of Kernstown and Mac-Dowell It may not be necessary to assert that I have not so much attempted to point out how the skill of General Lee and the daring of General Stonewall Jackson prevailed over their enemies, in the general theatre of the latter's military operations, as to show in particular instances how, from Patterson to Banks through Milroy and McDowell, many of the so-called grand achievements of the great Confede

and thence to Luray. Colonel Sullivan of Shields's division, who had been left to guard Columbia Bridge, informed Banks, about the first of May, that a deserter reported that on the thirtieth of April Jackson had moved with his whole force towards Harrisonburg; whence, he believed, he had returned and marched towards Port Republic. Tile deserter estimated his whole force to be about fifteen thousand men, composed of twelve or fifteen regiments commanded by Jackson, Taliaferro, Winder, and Ewell, and added that Jackson expected additional reinforcements. That Colonel Sullivan was in the same state of excitement as when at Strasburg was apparent from a despatch received from him, dated at Columbia Bridge at 2.25 P. M., addressed by signal to General Banks, announcing that Rebels drove in my pickets at Burnt Bridge and on Gordonsville road; started out reinforcements and am now driving them; will report fully. Burnt Bridge lies south of Columbia Bridge, over which the road to Gordo

again to stop: motion alternating with rest, and rest with motion. Our tired troops were more fatigued than if they had made a march of twice the distance. It was eleven o'clock at night when our division arrived at Culpeper, having made eight miles in eight hours. Why General Pope was hurrying his forces into and around Culpeper Court House will appear from a review of the movements of the enemy. On the nineteenth of July, Jackson, with two divisions of troops, commanded by Winder and Ewell, arrived near Gordonsville. General Lee thought that important railroad place was in danger; and from what we have seen of the instructions given by Pope to Banks at Warrenton, he might well have thought so. Jackson, finding Pope strong in numbers, asked for reinforcements, and the whole of A. P. Hill's division was added to his army. On the seventh of August, Jackson moved his three divisions of troops from their respective encampments near Gordonsville, in the direction of Culpeper. H

ral Jackson was silently advancing. His leading division of three brigades was commanded by General Ewell, our old antagonist at Winchester. General Early commanded the foremost brigade of this divis front. Hardly had Early taken up his position, when suddenly the two remaining brigades of Ewell's division appeared on the northwest face of the mountain, at an elevation several hundred feet the whole scene of action was unfolded beneath them. Here, two batteries, placed in position by Ewell, hurled shells upon our guns without molestation, as the enemy claims. Winder now advanced hie mountain, upon the face of which and bearing upon the field were the two remaining brigades of Ewell, with more batteries. Here, therefore, were four brigades of the enemy opposed to two on the le anything else. And from this point shells and shot could be seen coming faster and faster from Ewell's batteries on Cedar Mountain; from Early's right, near the clump of cedars; from Winder in the

ops, whom he could not warn of their danger, though his officers soon discovered it and fell back, but not until four hundred of them were captured. Dabney's Life of Jackson. There are yet two brigades of the enemy to account for: those of Ewell's division, which remained inactive upon the face of the mountain through the scenes we have described. Precluded from advancing by the incessant fire of their own batteries, which swept the valley through which they must pass, Jackson's Repouliar efforts put forth. In Banks's testimony before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, he attempts to exculpate himself for attacking Jackson by trying to make it appear that Jackson was marching to attack him. He had seen the movement of Ewell's remaining regiments to the mountain-side, and the brigade of Thomas (of Hill's division) reinforcing Early; and, in his own language, he had gone down to the front with some officers, and had been impressed with the idea that while the enemy wa
