Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Through the Wilderness to Richmond: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion of the United States
The battle-ground was a clearing, over a surface slightly rolling, including an area of, perhaps, forty acres, surrounded by woods upon all sides. On the Confederate side of the field were two batteries of light artillery, which were opposed by eight pieces of artillery upon our side. The action of that day, as far as it pertained to the Ist Cavalry Division (tor bert's) and the enemy in its front, consisted of an artillery duel, charges and countercharges of mounted cavalry across the field, and fighting dismounted in the woods. Evening found us masters of the field, the enemy, under Fitz Hugh Lee, having been forced to retire with heavy loss, leaving his dead and wounded, and many prisoners, in our hands.
