GEN. CARR'S REPORT.
Headquarters 14Tu DIVISION,
Near Vicksburg, May s5sh, 1883.
GEHE1A:- desire to record my testimony
to the gallant conduct Of Boomers Brigade
Of youT Division on the ed inst, in the at.
tack on the defence Of Vtcksburg.
The only chance to secure the Judgement
made by my Division on the eneny's works,
was, evidently to send ro'nforcementS to
them; and though it entailed the loss Of
brave men felt that the importance of the
object made it absolutely necessary to try.
Col. Boomer formed his Brigade in two
| Ines-placed himself in the center, and
marched them forward in the most gallant
style. The enemy had been heavily reinforc-
ed, aud the Brigade was met with tremen-
dous storm If bullets, but not q man flfnched.
They moved forward steadily down the hill,
scrambled across the first raylne, and were
/ just formed to advance to the next when
Boomer WAS struck down.
Col. Pntnam was about to continue tho ad-
vance when he learned that the last words oi
Boomer were not to attempt to charge those
works.
I was glad that no farther advance was
made, for 1t proved that the enemy had had
time to concentrate SO strongly in front that
it was impossible to take lis works.
When ordered to retire the Brigade moved
back steadily, took up its assigned position
and held 1t until ordered away.
Besides heipga gallant aud noble soldier,
Col. Boomer was personal friend Of mine,
and ! keenly feel his loss, but he died at the
lead OF his command nobly performing lis
duty to Lis country and to his cause.
Very Respectfully, Your 0bedient Servant,
lsjgued.) E. A. CARR, Brig. Genl.
