Volume Two

CHAPTER L
23/30

The enemy followed up, but made no immediate attack.
The Confederate General Jenkins was killed and Longstreet seriously wounded in this engagement.

Longstreet had to leave the field, not to resume command for many weeks.

His loss was a severe one to Lee, and compensated in a great measure for the mishap, or misapprehensions, which had fallen to our lot during the day.
After Longstreet's removal from the field Lee took command of his right in person.

He was not able, however, to rally his men to attack Hancock's position, and withdrew from our front for the purpose of reforming.

Hancock sent a brigade to clear his front of all remnants that might be left of Longstreet's or Hill's commands.
