To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A division of cavalry, with their artillery and pack mules, forded the Appo- mattox at Farmville to have a slash at the Rebels. Badly handled, no fault of the troops, trapped, they came severely to grief What would have been the result if they had been well handled? A Rebel historian admits they might have caught Lee. Adjutant Owen, of the Washington (Rebel) Artillery, uses these words : " It was fortunate that we were there just on the nick of time, for had Gregg obtained possession of the roa...d, he stood a good chance of cutting oif General Lee and staff and capturing them. " Mark this, the first pitched battle of the Army of the Poto- mac, at Williamsburg, May 5th, 1862, was the fight of the Third Corps, and in the last stand-up fight of that Army the old Third was present with the First Division (Miles') of the Second Corps doing the work. What is more, there were the "right bower" of the old Third, Col. Biles of the 99th Pennsylvania, and the "left bower" — Col. Burns of the 73d (condensed Excelsior of Sickles, which it cost him a fortune to raise), — doing, as usual, yeoman service and honoring the Diamond badges.
