g and Richmond, which he had held so long and skillfully. Lee's retreat was conducted with his usual skill, but the failure to secure supplies at Amelia Court House caused a delay which was fatal to his plans. The men of the Seventh Georgia cavalry, with M. W. Gary's brigade, were among the last to leave the Confederate capital just before the last bridge was destroyed. At Sailor's creek, where Ewell's corps was surrounded and forced to surrender, the brigades of Simms and DuBose, and Humphreys' Virginia brigade, fighting under Gen. J. B. Kershaw, repulsed repeated attacks until Simms' command was surrounded and mostly captured. Gordon's corps, escaping this disaster, took part in the last assault upon the enemy on the morning of April 9th, and was in line of battle when the surrender was announced. After a truce had been made to arrange the terms of capitulation, General Evans, who commanded the left division, ignorant of what was occurring elsewhere, had pushed out his ski

It did not reach Chickamauga in time to take part in the battle, but was frequently engaged in the Knoxville campaign, and always with credit. In speaking of the attack at Knoxville, General Longstreet said: The assault was made by the brigades of Generals Wofford, Humphreys and Bryan at the appointed time and in admirable style. Its failure was not on account of any lack of valor on the part of the assailants. General Wofford led his command through the Overland campaign of 1864 and in much of the fighting around Richmond and Petersburg, and was in Kershaw's division in Early's day of alternate victory and defeat at Cedar creek in the Shenandoah valley, October 19, 1864.
