The rear-guard at Malvern Hill.
I.--by Henry E. Smith, Brevet Major, U. S. A.
Referring to the retreat from Malvern Hill, July 2d, General McClellan gives Keyes's corps the credit of furnishing the entire rear-guard.
According to the report of Colonel Averell, of the 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry, the rear-guard was made his command and consisted of his regiment of Heintzelman's corps, First Brigade of Regular Infantry, consisting of the 3d, 4th, 12th, and 14th Infantry, of Porter's corps, and the New York Chasseurs, of Keyes's corps.
The Official Records, Vol.
XI., Part II., p. 235, confirm this statement.
In the same volume, p. 193, will be found Keyes's official report, but no mention of Averell.
In fact, Averell was the rear-guard to Turkey Bridge and a mile beyond that point, where he found General Wessells of Keyes's corps.
The official reports of Fitz John Porter, Sykes, and Buchanan all speak of Averell as having covered this retreat.
