No. 369.–Reports of Col. Edward A. O’Neal, Twenty-sixth Alabama Infantry commanding Rodes’ brigade.
SANTEE, CAROLINE COUNTY, VA.,
May 12, 1863.
SIR: In obedience to orders, I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of Rodes’ brigade during the eight days’ campaign, commencing on April 29 and ending on May 6:
Early in the morning of April 29, I received orders to hold the brigade in readiness to move at a moment’s warning, and about 8 o’clock the brigade was formed on the road, the right resting on Round Oak Church; thence, after a short delay, we moved to Hamilton’s Crossing. Here I was ordered to put the brigade in line of battle in a skirt of pine woods, about 1 mile to the right of the railroad and just in rear of our works. The brigade rested here during the balance of the day and until 3 o’clock next morning, when I was ordered to move the brigade to the right about a half mile and place it in the intrenchments, the right resting on Massaponax Creek and the left on the Bowling Green road. During the day the enemy’s batteries across the river shelled a portion of the line, the Third and Sixth Alabama Regiments, but, being protected by the earthworks and the hill, no damage was done.
