known locally as the Quaker road. Union generals and, with few exceptions, Confederate generals, mean that highway whenever they mention the Quaker road. An unused road nearly two miles farther west, communicating between the Long Bridge road and Charles City (River) road, was sometimes called the Quaker road. General Magruder supposed he was to take the latter road when ordered to move by the Quaker road, and ascribed to that mistake his delay in getting into position on the right of Jackson at Malvern Hill.--Editors. The Union batteries, as indicated on the map, were: 1, Martin's; 2, Tyler's; 3, 4, 5, 6, batteries in reserve; 7, Hunt's reserve artillery; 8 and 11, first and second positions of Waterman's (Weeden's); 9--9, Edwards's, Livingston's, Ames's, Kingsbury's, and Hyde's; 10, Snow's, Frank's, and Hyde's; 11, Kingsbury's and Seeley's. On the Union side the chief variations from these positions were the advance of a part of Butterfield's brigade, between Griffin and

Tyler, which were placed on elevated The Crew House. The Uppern batteries, as indicated on the map, were: 1, Martin's; 2, Tyler's; 3, 4, 5, 6, batteries in reserve; 7, Hunt's reserve artird. It was the angle of our position, and so far west that Tyler's heavy guns mistook it for the enemy and fired 4 1/2-inch en in 1885. This view is taken from near the position of Tyler's siege-guns (see map). The engagement of Malvern Cliff, orle-field is in the direction of the trees on the right, and Tyler's siege-guns were near the small trees in the left distanceas well estimated, for all their shot landed in or close by Tyler's battery, killing and wounding a few of his men.

The infantry was arranged betwedgment. I cooperated with him fully, however, having Morell's batteries, under Weeden, posted so as to protect his front, and sending him help when I saw he needed iley or meadow from the right, and advanced up this slope toward the two guns of Weeden, which were supported by the Fourteenth New York Volunteers.

hese principles at this time caused heavy losses of men, and led to the demoralization at a critical moment of one good volunteer battery and the capture, through no fault of its commander, of one of the best batteries of the regular army [see p. 402]. This battery was commanded by Lieutenant A. M. Randol, a brave and accomplished artillery officer of the regular army. This division had other-wise suffered heavily. At Gaines's Mill it had lost, by captu re, one of the ablest generals, John F. Reynolds, with other gallant and efficient officers and men, captured, killed, or wounded. Its misfortunes culminated in the capture at New Market cross-roads of McCall, the wounding of General George G. Meade, his able assistant, and the loss of many excellent subordinates. Fortunately the brave and experienced soldier, General Seymour, with his worthy officers, escaped to lead the survivors of the division to our camp, where they were welcomed by their sympathizing comrades.--F.

(Malvern Hill) on the north bank of Turkey Creek, there to select and hold a position behind which the army and all its trains could be withdrawn with safety. General Keyes was to move by a different road and form to my right and rear. Again the dangers and difficulties of night marches attended us, followed by the consequent dMcCall's divisions, Colonel H. J. Hunt's Artillery Reserve of one hundred pieces, including Colonel R. 0.

Later on June 30th Couch's division of Keyes's corps came up and took its place, extending Morell's line to the right of the Quaker road.

The Upper picture shows the old House, and is from a color-sketch taken soon after the War; the New House shown in the lower picture is from a photograph taken early in 1885. The old building, sometimes called Dr. Mellert's, was the headquarters of General Morell; during the battle members of the Signal Corps were at work on the roof. It was burned after the war and rebuilt on the old foundations. The view in each case is from the east. The lane, in the losition, we were enabled to get a very complete view of McClellan's army. Immediately in our front, and extending one mile, stretched a field, at the farther extremity of which was situated the dwelling and farm-buildings of Mr. Crew (formerly Dr. Mellert). In front and to our left the land rose gently from the edge of the woods up to the farm-yard, when it became high and rolling. Upon the right the field was broken by a series of ridges and valleys, which ran out at right angles to a line dr

ow it, my command did not reach Turkey Creek, which was only five miles distant, until 9 A. M. on the 30th. In fact, we were misled up the The Parsonage, near Malvern Hill. This house was in the rear of the Confederate line, which was formed in the woods shown in the back-ground. It was used as a Confederate hospital after the fight. The road is the Church road (known also as the Quaker road), and the view is from near C. W. Smith's, which was for a short time the headquarters of General Lee. The trees of this neighborhood were riddled with bullets and torn with shell, and in 1885, when this view was photographed, the corn was growing out of many a soldier's grave.--Editors.

On the west side of Malvern Hill, overlooking Warren, were some thirty-six guns, some of long range, having full sweep up the valley and over the cleared lands north of the River road.
