Battle 1304

[NY Cavalry]

A most excellent battle. I was in the middle of the field and only somewhat aware of what was going on elsewhere. I do know that what became the deciding obj was in my front. A key position was taken though well defended by Parker. It took three divisions to take the hill with high casualties. Parker fought with some support, but was largely on his own. This left the obj within reach on the next hill. With 15 min left a concerted assault by our side culminated in three of Soldiers regiments taking the heights and obj and driving the enemy.

I took some screen shots and will try to post them later.

Hero's division to my right did a lot of the dirty work and was engaged the whole battle making it possible for Soldier to gain the obj. Willard also was at the right spot at the right time and did invaluable service.

XNS Sickles division is in fine shape with all the marching they were able to get in during the battle.
