Chancellorsville and Gettysburg

CHAPTER V
9/10

Nearly all his escort were killed or wounded and he received three balls, which shattered both arms.

His horse ran toward the Union lines, and although he succeeded in turning him back, he was dashed against the trees and nearly unhorsed.

He reached the Confederate lines about the time our artillery again opened up on the Plank Road with a fire that swept everything from its front.

Several of his attendants were killed and others wounded.
The rebels found the utmost difficulty in keeping their men in line under this tremendous fire.

Sentries had to be posted, and great precautions taken to prevent the troops from giving way.
