GENERAL MAHONE'S REPORT OF CHANCELLORSVILLE BATTLE.
HEADQUARTERS MAHONE'S BRIGADE, ANDERSON'S DIVISION, May 27th, 1863.
MAIOR-I beg leave to report the operations of this brigade in the late battles of the Rappahannock. It is proper to premise that this brigade, with that of General Posey, had been stationed near the United States ford for the purpose of defending that crossing of the Rappahannock.
On Wednesday, April 29th, it was reported to me that the enemy had made his appearance in force at the Germanna and Ely's crossings of the Rapidan. This appearance of the enemy on our flank and rear, rendered our position at the United States ford no longer tenable, and, with a view to checking his advance on the flank of our army, as was now clearly discovered to be his aim, the two brigades-General Posey's and mine-were immedi- ately placed in position near Chancellorsville, so as to cover the roads from Germanna and Ely's crossings of the Rapidan and that of the United States ford, uniting at Chancellorsville. In the meantime our camps, stores, equipage, transportation and such,

were sent to the rear and without any material loss of any of them.
The brigades occupied their positions at Chancellorsville as in- dicated, until next morning, (Thursday, the 30th inst.) when, under the direction of the Major-General commanding the divi- sion, (who had happily joined us during the night) they fell back to the United States Mine road, this brigade at and covering the crossing of that road by the old turnpike. Before leaving our position at Chancellorsville, however, the enemy's cavalry advance on the Ely's ford road had made its appearance, and after a pre- cipitate advance upon our pickets (capturing several) he subse- quently came upon our rear guard-the 12th Virginia Infantry, Lieutenant-Colonel E. M. Field commanding-was repulsed, and so effectually as to leave us free from any further annoyance dur- ing the change of position to which I have already referred, and then in process of execution. Shortly after we had taken up our new position at the intersection of the mine and turnpike roads, the enemy came down the turnpike in considerable force of cav- alry and infantry, but nothing occurred at this point beyond a little skirmishing with the sharpshooters and reconnoitering parties.
The next day (Friday, May 1st,) this brigade led on the turn- pike road in the general advance of our forces, and very shortly engaged the enemy under General Sykes, when we had quite a brisk little engagement, infantry and artillery, Major-General McLaws commanding. The enemy (United States regulars, many of whom we captured) was promptly repulsed, and our line of battle, now formed, was moved rapidly forward to a point on the turnpike sonth of Chancellorsville, about 14 miles, known as McGee's. This brigade continued here with Major-General McLaw's force, confronting the enemy's line of battle in that quarter until the next day, when it was transferred, and occupied onr front line, immediately on the left of the plank road. In this position we continued up to the fall of Chancellorsville, engaging the enemy more or less warmly as the progress of General Jack- son's operations on his flank and rear seemed to call for, and as the range of his (General Jackson's) enfilading fire would allow. It was during this service of the brigade that the advance line of skirmishers of the 6th Virginia Infantry (Colonel George T. Rog- ers) under the immediate command of Captain W. Carter Wil- liams, charged over the enemy's abatis, near the plank road, fired upon him in his rifle pits, captured there prisoners from fonr dif- ferent regiments, and the colors and color-bearer of the 107th Ohio, returning to his position with his handful of men, with the loss of an officer as prisoner. This gallant and successful sortie was made a little after dark Saturday, May 2d, when General Jackson's fire was heavy, and it was in fighting over the same

ground the next morning that the valliant Williams fell, mortally wounded. The standard, a most elegantly finished work, was dnly delivered.
Immediately following the fall of Chancellorsville, this brigade was sent, with a brigade of Major-General McLaw's Division, to look after the enemy, then reported to be advancing up the plank road from Fredericksburg, under General Sedgwick. Meeting General Wilcox with his brigade, about the divergence of the plank and turnpike roads, and finding that the enemy was really and rapidly advancing, it was at once determined to meet him at Salem Church. At this point, possessing the advantage of ground, our line was formed.
In the meantime, Major-General McLaws had joined us with the balance of his division. My brigade, in the spirited fight at this place, occupied the extreme left of the line, lying wholly in the woods, and participated in the successful resistance made to the enemy's very determined effort to break our line at that point. Upon the conclusion of this battle, (Tuesday, May 5th) the brigade joined its division. The conduct of the officers and men (in brav- ing the hardships and privations attending eight consecutive days of exposure and excitement, as well as in battles) deserve high commendation, and at least this acknowledgment at my hands.
The 12th Virginia, Lieutenant-Colonel E. M. Field command- ing, for its rigid and efficient resistance of the superior force of enemy while covering the formation of our line of battle on the turnpike, Friday, May 1st ; the 6th Virginia, Colonel George T. Rogers commanding, for its vigorous pressure and bold sorties upon the enemy and his works around Chancellorsville Saturday and Sunday, May 2d and 3d, for its veteran-like behavior at Salem Church, receiving without disorder, the enemy's sudden fire, while moving by the flank, and the 61st Virginia, Colonel V. D. Gro- ner, for its gallant and successful skirmish with the enemy during the formation of our lines at Salem Church, deserve special men- tion, while the part borne by the 16th Virginia, Lieutenant- Colonel Richard O. Whitehead commanding, and the 41st Vir- ginia, Colonel William Allen Parham commanding, was every where, though less ardrous, well and bravely performed. In this connection it is but due that I should record here my high appre- ciation of the efficient and gallant conduct of the staff officers with me-Captain R. Taylor, Assistant Adjutant-General, and First Lieutenant Richard Walke, Ordnance Officer.
Among the gallant spirits who were seriously wounded, Captain Robert R. Banks, Company E, 12th Virginia Infantry, must be mentioned. He fell among the foremost in the skirmish fight of his regiment on the turnpike, May 1st, and was, at that time, commanding an advance guard. His conduct on this occasion was beautifully heroic. The number of prisoners taken by the

I am, major, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WM. MAHONE,
Brigadier General.
Major Thos. S. Mills, A. A. A. G., Anderson's Division, 1st Corps, Army Northern Virginia.
General R. H. Anderson, commanding the division, in his report says : " It would be doing an injustice to Brigadier General Ma- hone, to omit to mention his bold, skillful and successful manage- ment, so well seconded by his brave Virginians." He also says : " Major William C. Wingfield, chief commissary of the division, rendered valuable service by careful and unremitting attention to his duties."
THE WOUNDING OF GENERAL LONGSTREET.
Colonel Virginius D. Groner, colonel of the 61st Virginia Reg- iment, Mahone's Brigade, has furnished the writer with an ac- count of the wounding of General Longstreet in the battle of the Wilderness, which, as it differs somewhat from the usually ac- cepted theory of that unfortunate occurence, is here added. Colonel Groner says Mahone's Brigade was on the extreme right of Longstreet's line when it advanced and drove the enemy from its front in utter confusion. That the brigade was formed with the 6th Regiment on the left, then the 16th, then the 61st, then the 41st and the 12th on the right. That in order to turn the flank of the enemy the brigade was ordered to make a left turn, the regiments following each other in eschelon. After moving some distance in this manner through the woods, which were on fire and strewn thickly with dead and wounded men, the 12th Regiment became separated from the rest of the brigade, so that the 41st, which was next to it, became uncovered on its right. This was communicated to Colonel Groner, who halted that regi- ment and his own and reported to General Mahone that the 12th Regiment could not be found. General Mahone then approved of his halting the 41st and 61st Regiments, and ordered him to
198
NORFOLK COUNTY, 1861-5
look for the 12th. When the 16th and 6th Regiments got up on the line with the two other regiments, they halted also. Colonel Groner says the line, thus formed, was about seventy-five yards from the road in which General Longstreet was wounded, and that the smoke from the burning woods and the underbrush was so dense that it would have been impossible to have seen that dis- tance through them. He moved across the road and found the 12th Regiment coming back. That regiment had crossed the road, but finding that it had advanced too fast and was alone there, had started back to rejoin the brigade, and on its return it was mistaken by the 41st for the enemy and fired into. He says as soon as the 41st Regiment began firing, the regiments to the left of it took it up, and there was a general fusilade from the whole brigade, and that General Longstreet's party were in front of the position held by the 16th and 6th Regiments, and he was struck by the random firing of one of those regiments. He fur- ther says that when he crossed the road to rejoin his regiment, after finding the 12th Regiment, he noticed the party of horse- men coming up, but is satisfied that, on account of the thickness of the undergrowth in the woods and the dense smoke from the burning leaves, they were not visible from the position occupied by the brigade.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Captain John T. West, of Company A, 61st Virginia Regiment, has furnished the author with his recollections of the affair, which differ quite materially from Colonel Groner's. Captain West says :
"On the morning of May 6th, 1864, I was in charge of a section of Mahone's Sharpshooters battalion, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Field, of the 12th Virginia. We were deployed in the dense forest of the Wilderness, considerably in advance of the brigade (Mahone's.)
By order of Colonel Field, I had just examined, with a scout- ing party, the woods in our immediate front, and reported that a brigade of our men had just marched to the left, leaving the front uncovered, with the enemy a short distance in advance. At this moment a shot from a single musket came crashing through the brain of the gallant and daring Acelins G. Foreman, of Company A, 61st Virginia. Immediately the order forward ran along the line, and in a few minutes, the brigade coming up at a double quick, the battle was joined, the Federal line broken and driven from its position, retreated in disorder. Then followed a running fight for a mile or more, when the Federals were driven into corral beyond the plank road. Just as the left of our brigade had reached, and in part crossed this road, it was ordered to halt and firing ceased. At this moment the left of the 61st Virginia rested on or near the road which cut through our line, passing to the
199

right and front at an angle of 30 or 40 degrees, and thus so re- ceeding from our line of battle, that the regiments to the right of the 61st could not see, and in all probability did not know that a road was in their front.
In a very short time after the halt, General Longstreet and staff, with General Jenkins and brigade, passed to the front, along this road, obliquely to our right. The writer and all that portion of our brigade near the road, saw the movement and understood it, but the regiments on the right further in the forest and in rear of the road, did not see it or know that fresh troops were being marched to their front, hence, when some of the men of one of these regiments saw indistinctly through the forest the waving of the colors of Jenkins' Brigade, and the gleaming of muskets, they very naturally supposed that the Federals, who had just retreated in that direction, had rallied and were returning to renew the battle, and unfortunately, at once opened fire. The firing rapidly extended through several companies, and was only stopped by Lientenant-Colonel W. H. Stewart and Captain W. C. Wallace, who ran rapidly forward, calling out, "Cease firing, you are shooting down your own men." Only one volley was fired, but alas, Longstreet was disabled, Jenkins and many officers and men killed and an end put to a pursuit which possibly would have proved a route to Grant's Army."
