98 Norto Carotina TROOPS, 1861-65.

reached General Lee’s lines about sunset on Thursday, 2 July.
The service on this raid was very severe. There being
only three brigades, it required fighting two out of three
days—the first in advance, the next in rear, and to march
with the wagons on the third. One hour for rest at 9 a. m.
and one at 9 p. m. was all the intermission allowed.

On the morning of 3 July, gathering up the fragments
left from Hanover and what was available from the wagon
train, Captain Graham, as officer commanding, had a force
of forty men. That afternoon, while supporting a section of
Breathed’s Battery, he was wounded. His command took
part in the charge which occurred soon after and assisted in
eutting off and capturing a squad of the enemy. The com-
mand of the regiment devolved upon Lieutenant Jos. Baker,
Company D.

I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to Captain S. N.
Buxton, Company H, Jackson, N. C., for the account of the
fight at Hanover, Pa., and to Sergeant W. A. Curtis, Com-
pany A, for the account of the ten companies while the sec-
ond squadron was detached.
