Chapter 43: Hatcher's Run. News of Lee's surrender. From December 16, 1864, until February 5, 1865, the regiment remained at Fort Emory, on the Vaughan Road. On February 5, marching orders were received. At 5 A. M. the regiment joined the brigade and marched out on to the Vaughan Road to take part in the expedition which ended in the battle of Hatcher's Run. They tramped to within half of a mile of the junction of the Gravelly Run and the Vaughan Road, where the corps massed. Gen. Humphreys had succeeded Gen. Hancock in command of the corps. The division was commanded by Gen. William Hays, although at this particular time it was in charge of Gen. Thomas A. Symth, of the Third Brigade, while the Second Brigade was in charge of Col. William A. Olmstead of the 59th New York Regiment. General Smyth was ordered to send one of his regiments out to find the enemy and feel their position.

After fighting about an hour and a half, the Fifth Corps fell back hastily, and in some confusion, leaving this regiment (in the extreme advance) in a very exposed position, its left flank entirely exposed to the enemy, from which, however, the regiment extracted itself without leaving its position. During the night of the 6th the firing was confined to the pickets. On the afternoon of the 7
