Agate [Whitelaw Reid], of the Cincinnati Gazette, in his report of the battle, says: We had lain three weeks at Pittsburg Landing, within 20 miles of the Rebels, that were likely to attack us in superior numbers, without throwing up a single breastwork or preparing a single protection for a battery, and with the brigades of one division [Sherman's] stretched from extreme right to extreme left of our line, while four other divisions had been crowded in between, as they arrived.

Some Massachusetts batteries--Capt. Bigelow's, Capt. Phillips's, two or three more under Capt. McGilvry, of Maine--were planted on the extreme left, advanced now well down to the Emmitsburg road, with infantry in their front — the first division, I think, of Sickles's corps.

Hereupon, Thomas ordered Brannan Chattanooga and vicinity.--positions held Sept. 20 and Nov. 25, 1868. to advance with two brigades on the road to Reid's bridge, while Baird should throw forward the right wing of hReid's bridge, while Baird should throw forward the right wing of his division on the road to Alexander's bridge; thus attempting between them to capture or crush the Rebel brigade, if such there were where McCook located, it.
