It was my fortune to command Law's brigade of Field's division, Longstreet's corps, during the greater part of the year 1864--first as its senior colonel, and afterwards as its permanent commander.
The report which was made in August of the part taken by my command in the great military operations o y march and tempest of fire, still await those grim and ragged veterans; but they have taught the world a lesson that will not soon be forgotten, and have lighted up the gloom of that dark forest with a radiance that will abide so long as heroism awakens a glow of admiration in the hearts of men.

Report of General Harris concerning an incident at the battle of the Wilderness.
Headquarters brigade, December 2d, 1864. Lieutenant-General R. H. Anderson:
General — Your note, inquiring about an incident which happened on the evening of the sixth of May last, in the Wilderness, during the advance of my brigade, is received.
The main facts related by you are true.
The enemy were moving by the flank with the apparent intention of getting in rear of the brigades of Davis, Perry and Law, when my brigade suddenly encountered them.
They halted, came to a front and fired one volley, which wounded Colonel Manlove and four or five of my men.
My command then fired, gave a yell and charged, driving the enemy with ease, killing thirty or forty, including one colonel, one lieutenant-colonel, a captain and inspector of ordnance on General Burnside's staff; wounding many and capturing ninety or one hundred, including one colonel.
