Captain Weiss reported that forty or

struggled on to the ditch. Many were
killed at the edge of the moat. but aft
er a short breathing spell fifty or sixty
brave blacks scaled the parapet by

with a CALLING fire from the muskets

General Heckman's division followed
STANDARDS toward Fort Harrison a
short distance. then turned aside to
assault Fort Gllmer. While STANDARDS

pets of Fort Harrison a body of men
was seen entering Fort Gilmer from
the north. and General e. o. G. Ord.

posed this TO be Heckman's men.
whereas the newcomers were Confed-

endangered line. General Ord detach-
ed Roberts brigade Of STANDARDS

treat. Ord was wounded near the riv-
er and summoned Hickman to take
command, thus delaying the attack on
Fort Gilmer and leaving to Stannard
the brunt of the work In defending
what he had so CALAMITY won.
Meanwhile STANDARDS men gained a
respite from attack through the arrival
Of the Tenth corps to storm Fort Gil

Fort Harrison was a strong link In
the Confederate line. For the work of
storming 1t the divisions of General
George ]. Stannard and Charles A
Hickman Of Ord's Eighteenth corps
were selected. Stannard was to lead in
person and had been named for the
post of honor and danger by the gen.
eral In chief. With his brigade Of Yer
mont militia he had given the army a
new hero by turning the tide at Gettys-
burg on July 3. 1868.
When Stannard learned that Grant
had selected his division to head the
storming column he said to the gen.
eral: Il am told that / must lead this
attack and have come to protest In be-
half of my poor division, which has
led every assault OF the Eighteenth
corps from Cold Harbor until now and
is fought down to the skeleton Of a d.
vision. | will go freely wherever you
send me, but it is inhuman to give my
men more than their share of these for
lorn hopes" Grant replied firmly.
General Stannard, we must carry Fort
Harrison. and ! know you viii do It"
