A few round shot ricochetted overhead, makingabout an eighth of a mile at a jump, and a few grape were dropped intoa ditch just behind our line, quickly clearing out some soldiers whohad crawled in there, but this was the extent of the pursuit. Thewhole brigade (and a very small brigade it was) was deployed asskirmishers under Colonel Olcott of the One Hundred and Twenty-firstNew York. Three lines of skirmishers were formed and each in turnconstituted the first line while the other two passed t...hrough andhalted, and so the retreat was continued for about three miles until ahalt was made upon high ground, from which we could plainly see theJohnnies sauntering around on the very ground where we had slept. " Once more could Early claim the credit of a victory of which at nighthe was to find himself again deprived. Sheridan's famous ride, hismeeting and turning of the tide of fugitives, is the feature of theday's occurrences which will always live in the popular memory. It isa significant hint of the scale of such a battlefield to know that themen of the Second Connecticut had no visual perception of his presencethat day, though they heard the cheering occasioned by his appearancein other parts of the scene, and in his report there is mention of ameeting with Colonel Mackenzie, whom he tried to persuade to go to therear on account of his wounds.
