dvance the enemy attacked him to regain the works captured by Stuart the evening before. General Meade in his official report, says: On the morning of the 3d, General Geary, having returned during the night, attacked at early dawn the enemy, and succeeded in driving him back and reoccupying his former position. A spirited contest was maintained along this portion of the line all the morning, and General Geary, reinforced by Wharton's brigade of the Sixth corps, maintained his position and inflicted very severe loss upon the enemy. Now to return to my end of the line. At about sunrise General Lee came to me and informed that General Picket would soon rept's division, in his account of the day, says: If I remember correctly, Pickett's division and the artillery were all in position by 11 A. M. Hence we see that General Geary attacked General Ewell at least one hour before I had received my orders for the day; that at the very moment of my receiving these instructions General Ewell

e changed the result for the better. Let us briefly review the situation on the morning of the 2d. During the night of the 1st General Sickles rested with the Third corps upon the ground lying between General Hancock's left and Round Top, General Geary's division of the Twelfth corps occupying part of the same line. General Meade had given General Sickles orders to occupy Round Top if it were practicable; and in reply to his question as to what sort of position it was, General Sickles had wed my movements inevitably, no matter when they had been made. Had the attack been made earlier or later, we should have seen the Federals move just as they did, and with the same results-except that if I had attacked earlier I should have had Geary's division of the Twelfth corps in my immediate front in addition to the Third corps. This would certainly have been the effect of a sunrise attack. Colonel Taylor, in referring to the hour of my battle on the 2d, says: Round Top, the key of

He said his arrangements did not permit him to do that. Geary's division was removed very early in the morning, and Sickles' corps remained on that flank, alone, until late in the aft

ir infantry moved forward in heavy force to attack us. The troops of the Twelfth corps, says Swinton, had returned from the left, and the divisions of Williams and Geary, aided by Shaler's brigade, of the Sixth corps, entered upon a severe struggle to regain the lost position of the line. The enemy was evidently before us in imme stumps and trees were perforated with holes where leaden balls had since been dug out, and remnants of the rough breastworks remained. I did not wonder that General Geary, who was in the thickest of this fight, thought the main battle of Gettysburg must have been fought there. Whitelaw Reid wrote as follows: From 4 to 5 therechments and retired to the foot of the hill. The Federal historians say we were driven from our position. Thus Swinton affirms that it was carried by a charge of Geary's division. This statement I deny as an eye-witness and sharer in the conflict to the close, and as one of the staff who assisted in carrying out the order withdr
