Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 14. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), First Maryland campaign. (search)
f the 13th the head of his column came in sight of the enemy drawn up on Bolivar Heights, the southwestern suburb of Harper's Ferry. Thus Jackson was fully on time. McLaws, who had not half the distance of Jackson to march, entered Pleasant Valley on the 11th, and on the 12th proceeded towards Maryland Heights. The way was rough. The Heights themselves were not strongly guarded—by a small force, I think, of two regiments. It was about half-past 4 on Saturday evening, the 13th, when General Kershaw succeeded in carrying the Heights. The Confederate loss in this operation was slight, which shows that the resistance was not very determined. It was difficult to get artillery upon the mountain from the Pleasant Valley side and General McLaws had to haul them up by hand, and it was 2 o'clock P. M. Sunday, 14th, before McLaws's guns were in position to cooperate with Jackson's in the reduction of Harper's Ferry. Thus the capture of Maryland Heights was accomplished, not on Friday mor

since our last annual meeting, passed into the realm of shadows, bequeathing memories of peace and war, state-craft and finance, literature and art, politics and religion, of no ordinary significance. Verily the harvest has been most abundant, and the insatiate Reaper may well pause at sight of the swath his remorseless scythe has made. Busy too has he been within the circle of our special companionship. During the month of May three of our Associates died— Major Frederick L. Smith, of Kershaw's divison, Army of Northern Virginia; Sergeant-Major Fee Wilson, of Byrne's battery, First Kentucky brigade, and Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph T. Armand, of the Thirty-seventh regiment, Georgia infantry. Private John Gallagher, of Company C, Forty-eighth regiment, Georgia infantry, responded to the final summons on the 11th of July, and, on the 15th of the following August, our venerable comrade, Brigadier-General Goode Bryan, fell on sleep.

With that generous chivalry, characteristic of that battle-scarred veteran—not suspecting a Yankee trick—this truce was granted, and the enemy, with one eye on their wounded, and the other on our trenches, discovered that our redoubts were nearly stripped of their guns, and our infantry of the Eighteenth regiment stretched out to less than a single rank, along the line defended by Cobb's and Kershaw's brigades and thirty-two guns on the 13th of December, 1862. The discovery emboldened him, and as the last wounded Federal was taken from the field, a concentrated fire, from thirty or forty pieces of artillery posted in the city and on Stafford's Heights, was directed on Marye's Hill, and three columns of infantry seemed to rise out of the earth, and rushed forward with demoniac shouts and yells—one from a valley in front of Marye's Hill, one from the city on the plank road, and up th<
