A paper read by request before R. E. Lee Camp, no. 1, C. V., May 20th, 1906. By T. M. R. Talcott, Major and Aide de Camp to General R. E. Lee, in 1862-63, and later Colonel 1st Regiment Engineer Troops, A. N. V.

Comrades of Lee Camp;
The subject upon which you have called upon me to submit my personal recollections is not the Battle of Chancellorsville, on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of May, 1863, in which the Federal Army of the Potomac, under General Hooker, which numbered more than 130,000 men, was defeated by a part of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, numbering less than 60,000 men, for history has already recorded how that field was fought and won.
The hearing you have kindly afforded me as a member of the personal staff

[The editor is indebted for the following to his friend Col. T. M. R. Talcott, the able civil engineer, who writes: I found a manuscript copy of the enclosed epitaph among my papers.
I do not remember having seen it anywhere in print.
It merits preservation in these pages.]
In Memoriam.
Behind this stone is laid For a season Albert Sidney Johnston, A General in the Army of the Confederate States Who fell at Shiloh, Tenne.
On the 6th April, 1862; A man tried in many high offices And critical enterprises, And found faithful in all. His life was one long sacrifice of interest to conscience; And even that life on a woeful Sabbath Did he yield as a holocaust to his Country's need.
Not wholly understood was he while he lived; But, in his death, his greatness stands confessed In a people's tears.
The cause for which he perished—is lost; The people for whom he fought—are crushed; The hopes in which he trusted—are sh<

Stuart's cavalry in the Gettysburg campaign. By Col. John S. Mosby.
A review by Col. T. M. R. Talcott.
After reading Col. Mosby's book, which I had not seen until recently, I asked Col. Walter H. Taylor whether he had made any reply to it, and received the following letter from him:
Norfolk, Va., March 12th, 1909. Colonel T. M. R. Talcott, Richmond, Va.
Dear Colonel,—I have received your letter of the 10th inst. I read what Mosby had to say about Gettysburg some time ago. I didColonel T. M. R. Talcott, Richmond, Va.
Dear Colonel,—I have received your letter of the 10th inst. I read what Mosby had to say about Gettysburg some time ago. I did not attach much importance to his statements and did not publish, neither have I any intention to publish, anything in reply.
I think some of the partisans of General Stuart have done him more harm than good in their contributions concerning army movements in the Gettysburg Campaign.
What I have claimed is simply this: Although certain discretion was allowed General Stuart as to his movements, he was admonished all the while to keep in touch with our main army and to keep General Lee informed

Colonel John S. Mosby gives his version of New chapter in Lee-Stuart controversy. By Colonel John S. Mosby.
The Times-Dispatch of February 20, at the request of Colonel T. M. R. Talcott publishes a letter written by General Heth over thirty years ago in reference to the manner in which he brought on the battle of Gettysburg without order from General Lee.
Heth's letter was published in the Southern Historical Society Papers; but they did not publish my reply.
This is the way that history is manufactured in Richmond.
I refer in my book, Stuart's Cavalry in the Gettysburg Campaign, to Heth's letter and quote it on pages 150-151-152-154.
Heth gives an entirely different account in this letter of the way the battle was precipitated against orders by A. P. Hill and himself from both his own and Hill's official reports to General Lee.
The latter says they went on July 1st after shoes: both reports say they went to make a reconnaissance an
