Jefferson Davis, The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, Chapter 35: (search)
After the evacuation of Frederick City by our forces, a copy of General Lee's order was found in a deserted camp by a soldier, and was soon in the hands of General McClellan. The copy of the order, it was stated at the time, was addressed to General D. H. Hill, commanding division. General Hill has assured me that it could not have been his copy, because he still has the original order received by him in his possession. To these remarks Colonel W. H. Taylor adds the following note: Colonel Venable, one of my associates on the staff of General Lee, says in regard to this matter: This is very easily explained. One copy was sent directly to Hill from headquarters. General Jackson sent him a copy, as he regarded Hill in his command. It is Jackson's copy, in his own handwriting, which General Hill has.

Never did a brigade go into fiercer battle under greater trials; never did a brigade do its duty more nobly. Letter from Colonel C. S.

Petersburg, and who had fought daily for the protection of the trains, had now been transferred to the front. On the next morning, before daylight, Lee sent Colonel Venable, one of his staff, to Gordon, commanding the advance, to learn his opinion as to the chances of a successful attack, to which Gordon replied, My old corps is reduced to a frazzle, and, unless I am supported by Longstreet heavily, I do not think we can do anything more. When Colonel Venable returned with this answer to General Lee, he said, Then there is nothing left me but to go and see General Grant. At that time Longstreet, covering the rear, was threatened by Meade, so that therethat the emergency had arisen for the surrender of his army which, in his note to General Grant of the previous day, he had said he did not believe to exist. Colonel Venable, at early dawn, had left Gordon with about five thousand infantry, and Fitzhugh Lee with about fifteen hundred cavalry, and Colonel Carter's battalion of arti
