General Horace Porter, Campaigning with Grant, Chapter 8 (search)
force of infantry advancing, which proved to be the troops of Ewell's corps who had crossed the Ny River. In the vicinity of the Harris house, about a mile east of the Ny, I found General Tyler's division posted on the Fredericksburg road, with Kitching's brigade on his left. By Meade's direction Hancock had been ordered to send a division to move at double-quick to Tyler's support, and Warren's Maryland brigade arrived on the ground later. The enemy had made a vigorous attack on Tyler and KiKitching, and the contest was raging fiercely along their lines. I rode up to Tyler, who was an old army friend, found him making every possible disposition to check the enemy's advance, and called out to him: Tyler, you are in luck to-day. It is n't every one who has a chance to make such a debut on joining an army. You are certain to knock a brevet out of this day's fight. He said: As you see, my men are raw hands at this sort of work, but they are behaving like veterans. Hancock had arr

The cavalry divisions of Merritt and Custer were thrown out to guard the right, and Averill's (then under Powell) picketed the north fork of the Shenandoah from Cedar Creek to Front Royal. Strong as was this line and its position, it was soon broken and imperiled by Early, who felt keenly the humiliation to which Sheridan had subjected him. Having been re-enforced by Kershaw's division and six hundred cavalry from Lee's army before Petersburg, he dete

s of Griffin and Cutler between three and four hours, of which no one gives any details? Immediately after this failure of Warren to break our line, his whole force was transferred to the Angle, except Crawford's division of two brigades, and Kitching's and Denison's brigades. This added 8 brigades to the 24 already massed there, and artillery was also brought to bear from every spot, near and far, which offered a ___location. It had been intended to use Warren's corps in a fresh attack upon tss loss, as Grant's position in our front was strongly intrenched. By a circuitous route and roads impassable for artillery, he took his infantry far around the enemy and crossed the Ny in their rear, near the camp of Tyler's large division and Kitching's larger brigade. Here Ewell occupied a very critical position. He was so slow in realizing this and beginning his retreat that Ramseur, fearing that further delay would cause disaster, charged the enemy.

the vicinity of Bethesda Church, on the Mechanicsville pike, when Rodes' division of Ewell's corps, moving by that road, assailed it furiously on the flank. After maintaining the unequal contest for a few minutes, the brigade fell back to the Shady Grove road with the enemy in pursuit. Here, however, the Confederates were held in check by the excellent practice of a battery, and at this moment General Crawford brought up the remainder of the Reserves. With these, and the brigade of Colonel Kitching, Crawford took up a good position, and gave an effectual repulse to a very impetuous assault by Rodes. The left was then extended so as to cover the Mechanicsville pike at dark. These reconnoissances showed Lee to be in a very strong position covering the approaches to the Chickahominy, the forcing of which it was now clear must cost a great battle. Vi. The battle of Cold Harbor. The Chickahominy may be regarded as a wet ditch in front of the outer fortifications of Richmond.

ny account of Cedar Creek calls for a statement of numbers of the two forces. Here there is no little conflict. Figures have probably been handled in partizan spirit by both sides. But the record affords all the data requisite for approximate accuracy, which is my aim. The statement of the Union strength has been carefully, and presumably faithfully, compiled in Livermore's Civil War Numbers and Losses, and it is here quoted: Sixth and 19th Corps effectives,20,400 Eighth Corps,4,589 Kitching's Division,1,200 —— Total infantry and artillery,26,189 Deduct regulars detached,3,080 Deduct losses October 13th,209 ——3,289 —— Actual infantry and artillery22,900 Effective cavalry,7,929 —— Total all,30,829 For palpable error Livermore's Confederate table is rejected, and the following is taken from the record: Early's effective infantry and artillery, September 30th return, 6,291.

rebel assault their front was facing cast, and the rebel line extended down to the camp of the provisional division, Colonel Kitching's command, which was surprised in a similar manner to the Eighth corps. This division originally mustered betweousand men, but all except about five hundred had been taken away to guard trains and perform other similar duties. Colonel Kitching, however, succeeded in forming the small balance of his division on the left of the Eighth corps, and until that organization broke and fell back, made a brave and determined stand. During this stand Colonel Kitching succeeded in rallying a large number of stragglers and placing them in position to check the rebel movement. The efforts, however, of General Che unequal contest was sustained, when the corps began to waver, and soon afterwards fell back with great rapidity. Colonel Kitching was severely wounded in the foot while endeavoring to rally his men. Early still flanking. About this time
