rned under fire without loss. At 5 o'clock that afternoon we went into position, and were resting behind a battery on the low, wooded hill at the left of Round Top, and separated from it by a narrow valley. The enemy's picket line confronted our own near the base of the hill, but there was no firing. There was an oppressive stillness after the day's excitement. I rode out to the brow of the hill and had an excellent view of the field. Directly in front of us opened the valley toward Gettysburg, with its wheat-fields; at the right, and less than half a mile distant, rose Round Top; in the intervening valley lay the Slyder farm, with low, cross fences. Projecting from Round Top was a hill, perhaps one hundred feet high, on the top of which was a field surrounded by high stone walls. The slopes of this hill were covered with immense granite bowlders; a road or lane extended from the Emmitsburg pike to its base, and then turned to the left toward Devil's Den. Beyond this road ran

the right wing of the Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg, in an official communication to General Meaerring to General Meade's official report of Gettysburg: I confess to have read that part of his offat direction. General Meade knew nothing of Gettysburg. He so stated to the Committee on the Condun spite of his plans, because Lee had chosen Gettysburg as his place of concentration, and because Bing my corps twelve miles from Emmitsburg to Gettysburg, on the afternoon of July 1st, to help Howarposition on Cemetery Ridge, the Gibraltar of Gettysburg. Nevertheless, neither Howard nor Slocum wa Meade, as I have already said, did not like Gettysburg as a battle-field and wanted to get away froe rear to cover the retreat of the army from Gettysburg. I was thus occupied until 10 o'clock at ni and near Round Top mountain, commanding the Gettysburg and Emmitsburg road, as well as the Gettysbuthe records contradicting my declarations at Gettysburg on the 2d of July last, this confidential le[14 more...]

On the 4th, when Lee's movement of with cavalry, were now increased to nearly as many thousands, as the men taken at Gettysburg were added to us. Besides these, fresh cavalry prisoners were brought in evermarched past a handsome house which had attracted our attention on our way to Gettysburg by the number of United States flags and the gayly dressed ladies waving hand us, to cheer up — not to be downhearted — that we had won a great victory at Gettysburg, and though we were being marched to prison we were already avenged by the thnd I never experienced anything but kindness from the men who guarded me from Gettysburg to Staunton. After a long rest I was placed in a wagon and taken to a hous we were placed in box, or gravel cars, and at a slightly increased rate of speed were taken to Richmond.

clock in the morning Holmes saw that his attack had failed and withdrew Price's men from the field. Holmes's force aggregated 7646 officers and men. His losses were 173 killed, 687 wounded, and 776 missing, 1636 in all. Prentiss's force aggregated about 5000, but he says that he had only 4129 men in the fight, and that he lost 57 killed, 146 wounded, and 36 missing, 239 in all. All this happened on the day that Grant's victorious army entered Vicksburg, and that Lee began his retreat from Gettysburg. Holmes withdrew his army to the White River, and, being ill, turned over the command of the District of Arkansas to General Price on the 23d of July. Price at once urged General Smith to concentrate his scattered forces on the Arkansas and to do something, but Smith was then too busy organizing a sort of independent Trans-Mississippi Confederacy to have time for anything else. All that Price could do was to concentrate his own force for the defense of Little Rock, the approaches to w

i, Texas, in 1845. The other two lieutenants were George H. Thomas and John F. Reynolds. We four had been in the same mess there. Reynolds had been killed at Gettysburg twelve days before my new assignment. Thomas, the strongest and most pronounced Southerner of the four, was now Rosecrans's lieutenant. It was a strange castiious victim to atone for his one disaster. I alone am to blame; the order for attack was mine, said he, after the repulse of the assault upon Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg. Lee and Bragg were cast in different molds.--D. H. H. In reference to the long intervals between battles in the West, I once said to General Patton Anders outlook seemed hopeful for the Confederates. Longstreet arrived at 11 P. M. on the 19th. While lying on the Rapidan in August, after that disastrous day at Gettysburg, Longstreet had suggested to General Lee the reenforcing of Bragg. The general went to Richmond, and after a time got the consent of the Confederate authoritie

into Knoxville. It is surprising that the events of the last sixty days did not suggest to General Halleck concentrations that must have ended the war in 1863. By the 4th of July Meade had seriously defeated and permanently weakened Lee at Gettysburg, and Grant, by giving us Vicksburg and 30,000 prisoners, had ended all important operations near the Mississippi River. In the main, this left Grant's army of 75,000 men free to be sent in whatever directions lay the best chance of decisive wo Vicksburg. They spoke freely of the fact that they had been ordered on duty, although not yet exchanged, and all were confident that the concentration then going on would result in our annihilation. Stunned by the disasters to their cause at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the Confederate chiefs were secretly hurrying reenforcements to Bragg, hoping to neutralize the effects of those disasters by overwhelming Rosecrans. These well-planned movements were not, until too late, even suspected by Halle

says [see p. 689]: Hooker had brought with him from the east a full supply of land transportation. His animals had not been subjected to hard work on bad roads without forage, but were in good condition. This should have been the fact, but unfortunately was not. Hooker's command, when ordered west, had land transportation of the most efficient description, more than 6000 mules and horses, seasoned to army work in marches made through Virginia clay and quicksand, from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg and back to the Rappahannock; but against protest they were ordered to be turned into the corrals at Alexandria and Washington. These choice and efficient trains, that could be relied on to do effective work day and night, were thus broken up, and the want of them was soon after most seriously felt on the Tennessee. Hooker's troops were supplied from the corral at Nashville with all sorts of animals, young and old, broken and unbroken. Many died on the road before reaching Bridgeport.--
