Oliver Otis Howard, Autobiography of Oliver Otis Howard, major general , United States army : volume 1, Chapter 28: Atlanta campaign; battle of Dalton; Resaca begun (search)
umber of men carrying rifles and carbines, plus the enlisted artillerymen actually with their guns; whereas our officers counted in all present for duty, officers and men, no matter how multitudinous and varied the details might be. It is plain, however we come to estimates, that the disparity between the actual armies was not very great at the battle of Resaca. We could not possibly put into line of battle, counting actual fighting elements, more than four men to Johnston's three. On May 14, 1864, Polk, with the new corps, had already come up. As always in this campaign, this Confederate army was promptly marched into position, and without delay intrenched. On the other hand, our forces approaching Resaca through the gap on the one side and from Dalton on the other, had to work slowly and carefully to feel for the enemy's pickets and for each other in that blind, rough, broken, wild, tangled, unknown region. It was near twelve o'clock of May 14th before we had formed solid

Chapter 29: battle of Resaca and the Oostanaula The partial discomfiture of Judah's enterprising men early on May 14, 1864, brought to them one of my divisions (Newton's). Newton steadily breasted the Confederates, driving them back and causing them heavy losses, and his men, counting out a few stragglers, kept their lines perfectly and behaved like old soldiers. Newton showed here his wonted tenacity. He secured all the ground he could gain by a steady advance, and, stopping from time to time, returned fire for fire, until the fierce artillery and rifle fusillade on both sides diminished to a fitful skirmish. Palmer's corps was doing similar work to my right. Farther toward the left, over the rough ground east of Camp Creek, and amid the underbrush and scattered chestnut trees, I beheld my third division in line. Thomas J. Wood commanded it; covered by a complete skirmish front, every man and officer was in his place. He waited, or he advanced cautiously, so as to sup

he 54th Mass. Infantry was the first regiment of colored men raised in the Northern States east of the Mississippi River. Authority for recruiting such a regiment was given Governor Andrew by the Secretary of War in an order dated Jan. 26, 1863. Capt. Robert G. Shaw of the 2d Mass. Infantry was placed in charge of the regiment during its formation, and was commissioned colonel April 17. All the commissioned officers except the chaplain were white until the muster of Lieut. S. A. Swails, May 14, 1864. Recruiting began in Boston on February 9; men were also sent from Philadelphia, but the larger part of the members were obtained through the efforts of a recruiting committee appointed by Governor Andrew, which drew its recruits from stations established from Boston to St. Louis, largely under the direction of Maj. G. L. Stearns. Four companies having been mustered into service at Readville, March 30, three on April 23 and the remaining three May 13, the regiment left the State May 28,
