nd to aid the onset. At all points from the right to the left, the opposing forces had been stoutly engaged on ground in rear of the line of McClernand's encampment since 9 A. M., when W. H. L. Wallace had carried forward his division into action; a division that, trained by so thorough a soldier as General C. F. Smith, had done most soldierly work at Donelson, and which Wallace now handled with marked vigor. Its influence seemed to stiffen the Federal Wood and underbrush called the Hornets' Nest. from a photograph taken in 1885. center and left center. Stuart, commanding one of Sherman's brigades strongly posted on the extreme Federal left, also, had made so obstinate a stand that he was not forced from the position until three times his numbers, of Withers's division, diverted from the main current of the attack, were brought to bear against him. For some time General Johnston was with that division, but he shifted to Breckinridge's division about 11 A. M., and remained close

ad retired but a very short distance from their original position. General Breckinridge deployed Bowen's and Statham's brigades, moved them forward, and soon engaged the Federal forces. I bade the General good-day and good luck, and once more rode down the line of battle until I found General Bragg. With him I remained, excepting when carrying orders and making reconnoissances, until the close of the first day's fight. I witnessed the various bloody and unsuccessful attacks on the Hornets' Nest. During one of the dreadful repulses of our forces, General Bragg directed me to ride forward to the central regiment of a brigade of troops that was recoiling across an open field, to take its colors and carry them forward. The flag must not go back again, he said. Obeying the order, I dashed through the line of battle, seized the colors from the color-bearer, and said to him, General Bragg says these colors must not go to the rear. While I was talking to him the color-sergeant was

afternoon, when he and a large portion of his division were surrounded and compelled to surrender. Time after time the Confederates rushed upon his position, but only to be repulsed with fearful slaughter. This spot came to be known as the Hornet's Nest. It was not far from here that the Confederates suffered the irreparable loss of the day. Their noble commander, Albert Sidney Johnston, received his death wound as he was urging his troops to force back Hurlbut's men. He was riding in the ced to the Confederates. They had pressed the Federals back more than a mile and now occupied their ground and tents of the night before. They had captured General Prentiss with some thousands of his men as a result of his brave stand at the Hornet's Nest. But their hopes were mingled with grave fears. General Van Dorn with an army of twenty thousand men was hastening from Arkansas to join the Confederate forces at Shiloh; but the roads were bad and he was yet far away. On the other hand,

It held the center at the Hornet's Nest, fighting the live-long day against fearful odds. Just as the sun was setting, Colonel William T. Shaw, seeing that he was surrounded and further resistance useless, surrendered the regiment. These officers and men were held as prisoners of war until October 12, 1862, when, moving by Richmond, Virginia, and Annapolis, Maryland, they went to Benton Barracks, Missouri, being released on parole, and were declared exchanged on the 19th of November.

He was in command of the heavy artillery and water batteries at Columbus, Ky., at the battle of Belmont, and by the fire of his artillery cleared the field for the moving of troops across the river for Grant's repulse. He was immediately after this promoted brigadier-general, and given command of a brigade of Tennesiseeans in Polk's command. At Shiloh he led his men in repeated desperate assaults at the Hornet's Nest, and in Cheatham's division was successfully engaged on the field of Perryville, and in the rout of the Federal right wing at Murfreesboro. During the movement to Shelbyville he had temporary command of McCown's division. Promoted majorgen-eral in June, 1863, he was given a division of Hardee's corps, with which he held Hoover's Gap, through a hard fight, and checked the Federal advance. Transferred to Buckner's corps, he was distinguished at Chickamauga, defeating successively Palmer
