Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 10. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The Artillery on the Gettysburg campaign. (search)
n reaching the Virginia shore I was ordered to place six of my pieces (two Napoleons and four rifles) in position on the hills to the left of the turnpike and commanding the pontoon bridge, which I accordingly did, and very soon thereafter, General Pendleton being present, they opened upon the enemy's skirmishers and checked their advance upon the bridge. These pieces kept up an irregular fire until evening, when I ordered them to cease firing, the enemy evincing no intention of attempting to exposed to rain nearly every day, they bore the difficulties of the march without a murmur of dissatisfaction. All seemed engaged in a cause which made privation, endurance and any sacrifice a labor of love. Very respectfully, H. C. Cabell, Colonel Commanding. General W. V. Pendleton, Chief of Artillery, A. N. V.: General,--This report not having been finished before Colonel Walton left Virginia, is respectfully forwarded to you. Very respectfully, H. C. Cabell, Colonel Commanding.
