REPORT Of Henry P. Martin, Colonel Commanding list N. Y. S. M., in the action at Bull Run, known as the BATTLE OF MANASSAS TO ACTING BRIGADIER-GENERAL A. E. BURNSIDE. New-York, August 1st, 1861. COL. A. E. BURNSIDE, Acting Brig. Gen. 2d Brigade, U. S. A., In accordance with orders, I herewith submit a report of the action of the Seventy- first Regiment, N. Y. S. M. ,in the engagement at Bull Run,on the 21st July : We were ordered to commence the march, with the First and Second Rhode Island and the Second New Hampshire Regiments leading, and the Seventy-first Regiment bringing up the rear of the Brigade toward the battle field, a little after 2 o'clock. A. M., and having marched steadily almost without a halt for eight hours, we arrived upon the position a signed (sic) for our Division. On our arrival, the two Rhode Island and the New Hampshire Regiments were drawn up in line, and the Seventy-first were ordered to pass in front of these Regiments to a position in advance and to the right of the Brigade, and also in front of two pieces of artillery, which I suppose belonged to Griffen's battery. No sooner had we formed line than the right piece came dashing forward at full speed through our right wing, without any previous intimation being given. The men broke away, and allowed the piece to pass, and immediately alter its passage dropped back into their positions in line. Shortly after this the left piece executed the same manoeuvre, and with the same results. After remaining in this position about a quarter of an hour, exposed to the cannonading of the enemy, which they were directing toward us, we were ordered with our Brigade to an adjoining field to engage a portion of The enemy that had debouched from their works, and fully equal in number to our own Brigade, and after a severe contest, in which many lives were lost, and many of our best officers wounded-amongst whom were Capt Ellis, CO. F., Capt. Hart, CO. A., and Lieut Embler.CO. H-we succeeded in repulsing them, and compelling them to retreat. In this conflict we were greatly assisted by two of Capt. Dahlgren's twelve pounder howitzers, in charge of Capt. Ellis, Company I. of this Regiment. After the retreat, General McDowell, with his staff, rode around the field in rear of our Brigade, waving his glove in token of victory, and we all considered the day was ours. We were then ordered to retire to the edge of the wood still in view of the enemy's works and in reach of their cannon, and there to rest, as we had done all the duty that would be required of us, and would not be called into action.…

Description de la boutique

Barry's Books has been in existence for approximately 40 years. I have bought and sold various books of a general nature in over 35 states and 15 countries.
