George H. Gordon, From Brook Farm to Cedar Mountain, Chapter 5: return to Strasburg (continued)—Banks's flight to Winchester—Battle of Winchester. (search)
It required loud calls, added to the sound of my cavalry boots and spurs, as I stalked heavily along the halls in search of his room, to bring him at last to the door of his apartment, where, as his red face beamed above his long flannel night-shirt, he was a spectacle to behold. To advise him of the situation, to represent how uncomfortable his interview with General Stonewall Jackson would be in such apparel, was the work of a moment. Other brigadiergenerals, unattached to any command,--Greene and Crawford,--in night array, had listened to my interview with Williams; but under the circumstances these gentlemen were men of leisure. It was still dark, though near daylight, when I turned from the hotel, and sought my old Winchester quarters, if haply I might seize a few moments' rest,--the first in forty-eight hours. I found the place my aid had selected for a very temporary headquarters, and threw myself upon a bed without removing an article of clothing; but hardly had I touche

Greene's brigade reduced by detachments was thrown back on the extreme left, and held in support of a battery. This division in two lines, with its left extending in the direction of Cedar Mountain, was covered by Captain Pitcher's battalion of the 8th and 12nd may be confirmed from official reports of General Augur, who gives as the total of enlisted men in his division,--Geary's brigade, 1,121 ; Prince's, 1,435; and Greene's, 457: of General Crawford, who reports as present in the engagement,--officers, 88; enlisted men, 1,679: and of General Gordon, who reports less than 1,500 all

rted to Pope; and I went to him to report, that, save my small guard, there was nothing between him and the whole of Jackson's army. Not so, replied Pope; Generals Greene and Prince are there with their commands. I denied it, affirming that those troops had fallen far back to the rear long before. But Pope was persistent, urged, as confirming proof of my statement that we were alone, the fact that the enemy, unmolested, were wandering around in our front. But Colonel Clark says Greene and Prince are there on our left, urged Pope. Won't you send him out to find them? I replied. Yes, replied Pope. Give him an escort, and let him go. Corporal Buxton, Gilman, and Spalding, of Company A; Stephens (J.), of Company B; Donovan, of Company C; Daniels, of Company E; Moore, of Company F; Dillingham, Greene (M.), Smith, and First Sergeant Williston, of Company G; Sylvester, of Company I; and Hauboldt, of Company K,were mortally wounded.

And again, Williams, Geary, Augur, Carroll, Gordon, Crawford, and Greene behaved with distinguished gallantry. It may be asked why, after the severe language we have quoted from Pope, upon Banks's disobedience of his orders, there should have been so much mildness about it in Pope's first despatches to Halleck and in the former's official report upon this subject. Pope has answered the question in his letter to the committee, saying, I endeavored in my official report to avoid the censure justly chargeable upon Banks for his management of that battle, though
