Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 10. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 42 (search)
en o'clock until evening, during which time we had driven the enemy two miles beyond Lavergne. The Third Indiana and Anderson troop behaved gallantly, charging the enemy twice, and bringing them to hand-and-hand encounters. The conduct of Majors Rosengarten and Ward, the former now deceased, was most heroic. On the twenty-eighth we made a reconnoissance to College Grove, and found that Hardee's rebel corps had marched to Murfreesboro. On the twenty-ninth, Colonel Zahn's brigade having form enemy for six miles; unfortunately their advance fronted too recklessly; having dispersed their cavalry, the troop fell upon two regiments of rebel infantry in ambush, and after a gallant struggle were compelled to retire, with the loss of Major Rosengarten and six men killed, and the brave Major Ward and five men desperately wounded. With the loss of these two most gallant officers, the spirit of the Anderson troop, which gave such full promise, seems to have died out, and I have not been ab

one's mind is usually biased in favor of his own theory, I have taken great pains to ascertain the impressions of others who were associated with me as to whether I received any instructions or intimation from any quarter whatever touching the selection of Cemetery Ridge and Hill. The testimony, both direct and indirect, points all one way: that I did not; that I chose the position and used it throughout the first day of the battle, as we shall see. The aiddecamp of General Reynolds (Captain Rosengarten), who thinks he heard General Reynolds tell my aiddecamp that I must occupy Cemetery Ridge, is certainly in error. Captain Daniel Hall was the only aid of mine sent to the general; the only one who saw him at all, and he never brought me any such order or intimation. In this connection I may quote Captain Hall's own words in a letter to me: You directed me to ride forward as rapidly as possible, find General Reynolds, report to him the progress of the Eleventh Corps, and ask

,000 soldiers is a high estimate for the Confederate forces from first to last. The other belligerent had in the field, from first to last, 2,859,132, or more than four times the Confederate forces. Where did these immense hosts come from? The Southern States on the border—slave-holding States—furnished in all 301,062, and thus the entire South gave to the Union army 541,216 fighting men. From what quarter of the globe did the remaining two millions and three hundred thousands come? Rosengarten, in his book, the German Soldier, puts down the number of Germans in the Federal army at 187,858. I don't know certainly, but I suppose that the Irish soldiers were as numerous as the German in the Federal army, for the Irish seemed to lead every attack and cover every retreat—Sumner's Bridge, Marye's Heights, Sharpsburg, Chickamauga—always fighting with the indomitable pluck of their race. I once complimented for their gallantry some Irish troops in our service, and I modestly claimed

ast hour and a half. Finding their position a good one, Reynolds sends an order to Wadsworth's division to come up and relieve them. At the same time he sends a message to the other two divisions of the First corps, urging them to push forward, and also to Howard, who has left Emmettsburg with the Eleventh corps after the latter, requesting him not to stop on the road, as he had been directed, but to come and take position near them at Gettysburg. One of Reynolds' aides-de-camp, Captain Rosengarten, has even asserted that Reynolds had designated Cemetery Hill as the point which Howard was to occupy, but the latter has formally denied it, claiming all the honor of having selected this historical plateau for the purpose of placing there his reserves. In a few hours two army corps will therefore be assembled at Gettysburg. In the mean time, the enemy must be imposed upon and held in check with the few troops that are already on the ground.
