GEN. CARR's REPORT.
HEApeuAnrERs 14rH DIVISION,
Near Vicksburg, May 18th. 1853,
GEEERAI:-1 desire to record my testimony
to the gallant conduct Of Boomers Brigade
Of your Division on the 22d' inst, in the at.
tack on the defence of Vicksburg.
The only chance to secure the Judgement
made BY my Division on the enemy's works,
was, evidently to send reinfoscements to
them; and though IT enta!led the loss Of
brave men felt that the importance Of the
object made 1t absolutely necessary to try.
Col. Boomer formed his Brigade in two
nnes-p1aced himself in the center, and
marched them forward In the most gallant
style. The enemy had been heavily refnforc-
ed, and the Brigade was met with tremen-
dons storm # bullets, but not man finehed.
They moved forward steadily down tho hill,
scrambled across the first irvine, and were
just formed to advance to tho next when
Boomer was struck down.
Col. Pufnam was abont to continue the ad-
vance when be learned that the last words Of
Boomer were not TO attempt to charge those
works.
I vas g1ad that no further advance Was
made, for 1t proved that the enemy had had
time to concentrate so strongly In front that
It was Impossible to take llis works.
When ordered to retire the Brigade moved
back steadily, took up its assigned position
and held 1t until ordered away.
Besides being gallant and noble soldier,
Col. Boomer was a personal friend Of mine,
and I keenIy feel his loss, but he died at the
head OF bis command nobly performing his
duty to his country and to his cause.
Very Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant
(sjgned.) E. A. CARR, Brig. Genl.
