Meanwhile the Mechanicsville Bridge had been cleared, and, after a little degrasped and held Randol's battery, that had been the source of contention from the first onset.

We had carried Devil's Den, were at the Round Tops and the Wheat-Field, but Ayres's division of regulars and Barnes's division were holding us in equal battle. The struggle throughout the field seemed at its tension. The brigades of R. H.

We gained the Wheat-Field, and were so close upon the gorge that our artillery could no longer venture their fire into it. We were on Little Round Top grappling for the crowning point. The brigade commanders there, Vincent and Weed, were killed, also the battery commande

In front of that force we had ten thousand men of Field's and Kershaw's divisions and G. W. C. Lee's division of local defence troops (not including Gary's cavalry, the sailors and marines) holding the forts at Drury's and Chapin's farms. General Grant's orders were that his troops at all points shou at Richmond to march a division to Petersburg to report to General Lee. The hour at which the telegram was received was not noted. As the operations at Five Forks were not decisive until after five o'clock, the telegram may have been received about seven P. M. Field's division was ordered to the railway station, and the quartermaster was sent in advance to have the cars ready to move it. To give the troops the benefit of our limited transportation I rode with the staff by the dirt road.

General Field inquired of a passing officer, What's up? but, seeing arrangements going on for attack in our rear, he continued his work of preparation to receive it. Geor left until he reached a large white-oak tree, where he dismounted to make his last Headquarters, and finally talked a little. The shock was most severe upon Field's division.
