McClellan that the 3rd Brigade broke or rather the 81st N.Y. but this is untrue in the strictest sense of the word I will endeavor to give you an account…double quicked to our position on the extreme left…General rode up and ordered us to pull down the fence and advance into the field contrary to wishes of Col. Deforest by that time the enemy was plainly visible in the edge of the woods but were ordered not to fire as the Gen. thought them to be our friends as any fool might have known better…opened fire by orders of the Captain and they opened fire on us their first volley killing our Major and wounding the Col. and on the fire was so hot and we in so exposed position and the enemy in cover we was ordered to fall back to the woods", an original accounting written in the famous Battles and Leaders of the Civil War (first published in 1880) indicated that the 3rd brigade breaking under Confederate attack, was severely punished, and retreated in disorder causing the left flank to be exposed, this letter contradicts the historical accounts which were mainly Confederate accounts of the battle, Fine to Very Fine a fascinating, historically significant letter.
