The "Bloody Angle"

/ have seen several accounts In The
Times Dispatch In regard to the Bloody
Angie or Horseshoe fight, but have
never seen an account by any one who
was captured at the Elbow, rs call IT,
On the morning of the 18th of May
1864, the Forty-fourtl Virginia Regiment
was on the extreme right Of the Elbow
and right Of General Lees army. with
two lines OF breast works. but only one
occupied; ana a line of battle about
twenty-five or thirty yards In rear, in
the woods all day of the 18th. and
company Of artillery stationed about one
hundred yards to the right of the IN
trenchments, little northeast OF my
company. Major ID. w. Anderson, who
was officer of the day. has told me since
that the line OF battle that was in our
rear OH the 18th, was not there at sun
set, and not Il single man in tho Elbow,
where the Yankees crossed over the
breastworks on tho morning OF the 18TH
nor was there single piece of artillery
where 1t was all day during the nth.
! saw the artillery when 1t left the even
ing of the 18th. We were in the trenches
very early the morning OF the 18th. which
was very foggy. and VIC could not see
man twenty yards from us. My com
pany commenced firing on the mon that
were coming down tho line. and ordered
them to stop firing on them. as there
was limo OF battle In the woods In our
rear. and to fire on those that were in
our front. Just at that time General
Johnson. who was In the rear OF my
company, ordered us to cease firing, and
the Jig was up with us. have been at
lors to Know why 1t was that the
elbow was not protected or why the line
should not have been straighter than
what 1t was, and what became of the line
OF battle that was in our rear all the day
before and why tho artillery was moved
without being replaced at once. for II
was always the duty of the guard on post
of duty to stand his ground or his post
until relief came. and II he left his post
without being ordered to do so, he was
subject to discipline.
IF my memory serves me right the
trees that were shot down were near the
angle or elbow, and this was where tho
woods and plney old field came together

CONFEDERATE TOUCH.
Shall 1t Not Go Down the Line to
All Posterity.

Last month, about the time of Cen
cral Lees birthday (January NTH, a
writer in the Free Lance" published In
Atlanta, Ga. made n suggestion which is
worthy of consideration. 1t is given
space In the Confederate Column that
veterans may take the now idea under
advisement. The article Is headed "On
the Touching of Hands" and is rs fol-
lows:
with the announcement of 4 local cee-
bration to be held on the anniversary of
the birth of Robert T. Leo, there comes
an idea. 1t is said there is nothing new
under the sun. but In this VIC lay claim
to a new thought nevertheless. Every

GENERAL MUNFORD.
At Appomattox On the Last Day
of the Fight.

Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-I noticed recently In your re-
porting ccytain proceedings at Appomat-
tox, 1t is stated that Colonel r. B. Poore
introduced General James 3. Munford."
Should It not have been General Thomas
Il. Munfard? Sometime since 1 saw in
communication to your paper that one Of
our great (?) Confederate Generals felt
called upon ("for the sake of correct his
tory'D to go into print. at this late day.
to state that he positively knew" that
Il. 7. Munford was never made a Cen
eral. Possibly General Munford's COM
mission never got through the Red Tape
Bureau in Richmond. but all the same he
was General with the old brigade, and,
believe that my old comrades will bear
me out in the assertion that the brigade
never had n commander in whom they
had more confidence. or followed more
willingly. ] never thought 1t amounted
to anything who fired the first snot or
the last shot, in our late war; but I feel
sure that the last firing at Apromattox
was done by the Old Cavalry Brigade
under General Tom Munford. Tho brig
AIDE (what was left OF it) was on the
extreme right of the army. Company G.
