Johnson's division then advanced, and found only one brigade — Greene's — of the Twelfth Corps in position, the others having been sent to the aid of Sickles at the Peach Orchard. Greene fought with skill and determination for two Greene fought with skill and determination for two or three hours, and, reenforced by seven or eight hundred men of the First and Eleventh corps, succeeded in holding his own intrenchments, the enemy taking possession of the abandoned works of Geary and Ruger. This brought Johnson's troops near the Baltimore pike, but the darkness prevented their seeing or profiting by the advanth enabled him to sweep it, the arrival of Carroll's brigade sent unasked by Hancock,--a happy inspiration, as this line had been weakened to send supports both to Greene and Sickles,--and the failure of Rodes to cooperate with Early, caused the attack to miscarry. The cannoneers of the two batteries, so summarily ousted, rallied

The enemy, perceiving the withdrawal of our troops, advanced and attacked General Greene with great vigor, who, making a gallant defense, and being soon reenforced by portions of the First and Eleventh ce in part: I am willing to admit that, if my attention had been called to the services of Greene's Brigade in the pointed manner it now is, I would have given it credit for this special serviceen place, something of which until that moment they had been entirely unaware.

effective musketry fire. With such an object the cannonade would be long and followed immediately by the assault, their whole army being held in readiness to follow up a success. From the great extent of ground occupied by the enemy's batteries, it was evident that all the artillery on our west front, whether of the army corps or the reserve, must concur as a unit, under the chief of artillery, in the defense. This is provided for in all well-organized armies by special Brevet Major-General George S. Greene.

from General Williams that they consist. in wholly ignoring the operations of the First Division and in repudiating most of the material statements of my report as temporary commander of this army corps ; also in ignoring the splendid conduct of Greene's brigade, which held our intrenched line on the right, and in giving credit for Greene's fight to Geary's division, which was not in the fight at all, but got lost on the road to Two Taverns. General Williams concludes his protest in these wordsGreene's fight to Geary's division, which was not in the fight at all, but got lost on the road to Two Taverns. General Williams concludes his protest in these words, referring to General Meade's official report of Gettysburg: I confess to have read that part of his official report relating to the Twelfth Corps with a mixed feeling of astonishment and regret. See foot-note, p. 316.--editors. I could amplify similar proofs, showing the characteristic inaccuracy of General Meade in his official reports of his military operations, but will not now trespass upon your space in that direction. General Meade knew nothing of Gettysburg. He so stated to the

On their left flank was Cabell's brigade Major-General Frederick Steele, from a photograph. of Arkansas cavalry; and on their right, toward Camden, was Marmaduke with a division of Missouri cavalry — Shelby's and Greene's brigades. Cabell had about 1200 men for duty; Marmaduke about 2000. East of the Washita were Dockery's brigade of cavalry and some other mounted men. Lieutenant-General E.
