A Point for q Battle Marker.
Raltimore Md. Aupust l6. l9lC

Baltimore, Md, August 10, l9lU'
Editor Register observed from the
Register last week that the committee OF
veterans is placing markers at the most
important places where engagements
were held during the memorable years oil
'6l-'65. desire to call your attention to
an engagement that may have been Tor
gotten by them, that occurred during these
memorable times, the year OF which
have forgotten, but shall never forget
the occasion.
Sheridan's cavalry, supposed to be TO-
600 strong, had advanced and passed
through Shepherdstown. They had not
been gone more than two or three hours
when they returned in full retreat, with
heavy loss in both men and horses, as
we'll as equipment. In this engagement
or skirmish, the heaviest OF which may
have taken place in Buffers woods, along
the pike, they retreated and made stand
at the hill just beyond the cemetery IN
Shepherdstown, and just over this hill
they threw up breast-work from the
stone fence on my fathers farm.
AT this point General Gordon was
wounded sufficiently to be taken from the
field, and was carried to Colonel Morgan'S
house TO have his wounds dressed. In
1888 met the General in Georgia at a
reception, and when he learned that was
from Shepherdstown he told me OF this
battle and of the wound he received. He
said he did not regret il much, as ne new
er had as much attention in his life as he
received on this occasion, and he had
never seen as many pretty girls as Jetter-
son county had; and he thought it real
pleasure to be nursed by them. He said
his wound was trivial and that ne soon
joined his brigade.
The heaviest part ofthe engagement was
at what is now known TO be DR.. Craw-
ford's gate. There the Federals made a
stand and were driven from this position
by the Confederate infantry. | was on
this field shortly after the engagement,
and counted from 25 TO 30 dead horses
lust where the house now stands on Mrs.
Rentch's farm and where the toll-gate
used 10 stand.
write this from memory, which have
endeavored to refresh since saw the
notice in your valuable paper, and | would
suggest that marker be placed there to
indicate the spot where General Gordon
was wounded, and where few infantry
drove back in such ignominiouS retreat
Sheridan'S cavalry.
Some years ago, in relating this Incl
dent at banquet in Washington, Mr..
Alexander, president OF the Equitable
Lite Assurance Society, came TO me and
said that was the first time he ever heard
of Sheridan retreatlng. told him saw
the retreat with my own eyes, conSe-
uuently there could be no mistake in the
statement | made.
Very truly yours,

Those Battle Markers.

Washington, August 10, 1910.
Editor Register-When General Jack
son captured Harper'S Ferry, with 1900
men and so cannon, in September, 1862,
one of the Confederate batteries was To-
Gated at Captain Jacob Engle's gate on
the Harper's Ferry road; and as this bat
terry killed a man or two on Bolivar
Heights, which with the enfilading bat
terry on the Loudoun plateau fastened
the surrender, we think that battle mark
erS should certainly be placed on these
spots. After the surrender, General
Jackson whiSked his troops into double
quick toward Antietam, and got into bat
tie line next morning and beat out Cen
eral Mcclellan, who was trying to fight
General Lees army divided. General
JackSon's corps was needed at Antietam,
for the combined forces held McClellan'S
army at bay one whole day. They de-
cided to retreat the third day, after
truce to bury the dead on the second day,
rather than risk the 10000 fresh troops
that Mcclellan got in. Let us mark the
battle spots, as they are certainly most
important. JAMES M. ENGLE.
