On General Barlow, to command one brigade in Von Steinwehr's division, and General Adelbert Ames to tart to send Bushbeck's infantry brigade of Von Steinwehr's division in his support as far as Kelly'eving some of Slocum's thin line and some of Steinwehr's, near Dowdall's tavern. I thus obtained Bhe main road. Here were my headquarters and Steinwehr's before the battle of Saturday.

rk again at dawn. I resolved to send Barlow's division by the direct road to Gettysburg; the distance is eleven miles. Steinwehr's and Schurz's were to follow a road, clearer and better, a little farther to the eastward, passing Homer's Mill and en. Reynolds's last call for help had gone through me back on the Emmittsburg and Taneytown roads, to Barlow, Schurz, and Steinwehr. The new orders were carried to them again by Captain Hall to Schurz and to the reserve artillery under Major Osborn; nder my orders Osborn's batteries were placed on the Cemetery Ridge and some of them covered by small epaulements. General Steinwehr's division I put in reserve on the same heights and near the Baltimore pike. Dilger's Ohio battery preceded the coinst Schurz. The fighting became severe and reinforcements were called for. I sent from the reserve all that I dared. Steinwehr had then at my instance put one brigade-Coster's — in the edge of the town, behind barricades and in houses, prepared t

pictorial summary, for I hardly think Meade was considering the panorama at all-the mountains, the groves and the valleys, with their variety of productions, or the streams of waterexcept in their evident relationship to his military plans. What he soon did, after he had ridden away slowly and thoughtfully, is the true key to his thought. For, by his direction, Slocum's entire corps went quickly to the right to hold the rough-wooded slopes from Culp's Hill to McAllister's Mill. Ames, Steinwehr, Schurz, Robinson, and Doubleday, with their respective divisions, remained substantially the same as I had located them on their arrival at the cemetery the day before. These continued their line from Culp's Hill southward to near Zeigler's Grove. Hancock now brought the Second Corps to occupy a short front on the highest ground by Zeigler's Grove. Sickles gathered the Third Corps and tried to fill the whole space from Hancock to the Little Round Top. His formation, finally, was to pu

position — of a sudden the extreme stillness was broken by the roar of cannon and the rattle of musketry. Everybody who was fully awake said at once: Our men at Wauhatchie are attacked. Instantly I sent to my division commanders (Schurz and Steinwehr) to put their troops under arms. The word of command had hardly left me when Hooker's anxious message came: Hurry or you cannot save Geary. He has been attacked! The troops were quickly on foot. Schurz's men were that night especially alee had been started; for the night was cold. He was evidently disturbed, but not impatient. He thought my command was not pressing on fast enough, but agreed with me that the first thing to do was to clear those low hills along Lookout Creek. Steinwehr was coming up rapidly along the road. He designated Colonel Orland Smith's brigade for this work for his division. A little farther on, Schurz sent General Tyndall's brigade to carry the hills on his left. As soon as these primary arrangem

ll the divisions were in place. Very quickly I passed into the woods to our left from brigade to brigade of Schurz and Steinwehr, and brought them up through the thickets to the Citico Creek. In truth, we of the Eleventh Corps were soon ahead of our neighbors and proud of it, for by my direction Von Steinwehr sent out a regimentthe Seventy-third Ohio--which swept the front beyond the creek of all Confederate sharpshooters who were inclined to loiter in that region. Granger was pleased, and, the hard work of the morning being over, he gathered us around him-Sheridan, Baird, Wood, Schurz, Steinwehr and others — to tell us how the battle had been fought and to show us the way to fight all battles. It was, indeed, a successful reconnoish I belonged-probably about 20,000 strong, counting up the remaining divisions of the Eleventh Corps under Schurz and Von Steinwehr, and those of Geary and Ward belonging to the Twelfth Corps, with corps and artillery transportation reckoned in (for
