It is quite probable that some sick and wounded men were left in the camps, but I cannot believe the enemy would have shot and bayoneted such, or any unarmed or helpless men. Private - Smith, of company I, Seventy- second Ohio, was shot through the breast and left in camp, or near it, as too badly wounded to be moved, When we returned to camp on Monday evening, we found him alive in one of the tents. The enemy had taken good care of him, and he is now an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Dayton. Therefore, I am compelled to believe that all these horrible stories about our officers and men being surprised, shot, and bayoneted in their tents are false.
There has been a persistent effort on the part of newspaper correspondents and others, ever since the battle, to make it appear that Sherman's and Prentiss's divisions were asleep on the morning of the 6th, ignorant of the approach of the enemy, and surprised and thrown into almost utter confusion by the first

onset of the enemy. I think the facts I have given ought to convince every candid person that such was not the case. It is true that Colonel Appler of the Fifty-third Ohio, of Hildebrand's brigade, after his regiment had fired a few rounds, ordered a retreat, and then abandoned his regiment to its fate. This was no fault of the regiment. Such conduct of a commanding officer would demoralize any troops. This gave the enemy such advantage over Hildebrand's brigade that, although Hildebrand heroically strove to maintain his position, he was unable to withstand the overpowering onslaught, and his brigade was forced back and irretrievably broken to pieces. Yet a large portion of his officers and men rallied by companies and squads, joined other commands and fought bravely during the day. But for this unfortunate conduct of Colonel Appler, of the Fifty- third, which is the regiment where bad conduct is referred to in the statement of General Prentiss, I have no doubt but Hildebrand's brigade would have maintained its position as did mine, and we would have held the enemy in check on the front line much longer and given McClernand's and other troops ample time to come to its support or place themselves in positions where they could best meet the enemy. The stubborn resistance of my brigade alone saved our army from greater disaster. The splendid fighting of our troops during the entire day is a Sufficient answer to the charge that any considerable portion of them were demoralized by being surprised in their camps, or otherwise. The number that disgracefully fled to the rear was not much greater, if any, than in other great battles. Sutlers, teamsters, and all other non-combatants and hangers on of the army were concentrated into a small space at the landing, and mixed with the sick, the wounded, and runaways, and altogether they made a great, panic- stricken mob. No wonder Buell's men, if passing through such a mob, supposed the Army of the Tennessee was demoralized, but if they had been in front at any time during the bloody day, they would have come to a different conclusion.
If General Lewis Wallace, with his division of eight thousand men, had continued on the road he started upon, which I think he ought to have 'done, and struck the enemy on the left flank and rear by two or three o'clock P. M., the tide of victory would have been turned against the enemy. It would have saved the disaster to Prentiss's division, and I think we would have driven the enemy from the field the first day. I will not undertake to say who was in fault for the course General Wallace took. It is not the purpose of this article to defend Generals Halleck, Grant, or Sherman, but to state facts within my own knowledge and observation, and such as I believe to be true, taken from other reliable sources, and leave to the reader to determine in his own mind, from the facts, where blame or credit should be awarded.
We are indebted to Dr. G. A. Gessner for a record of the officers and men of the regiment.
