( 5) General Ricketts was supposed to be mortally wounded. His
wife a second time came to him on the battle-field. He was taken
to Washington, his home, and slowly recovered. He was able again
to perform some field service near the close of the war. He died
of pneumonia, September 22, 1887, and is buried at Arlington.

( 6) Major A. F. Hayden, of Wright's staff, while the battle was
raging in the early morning, was seen galloping towards me with
one hand raised to indicate he had some important order. Just
before reaching me he was shot through the body and plunged off
his horse on the hard ground, rolling over and over until he lay
almost in a ball. He was borne off in a blanket for dead. In
February following I met him on a steamer on the Chesapeake returning
to duty, and I saw him again at the Centennial in Philadelphia in
1876.

(10) In one account Sheridan fixes his arrival at 9 A.M. In his
_Memoirs_ at 10.30 A.M. (p. 86). Getty, in his report of November,
1864, says, "Sheridan arrived at between 11 A.M. and 12 M." I made
a note (still preserved), of the time Sheridan was seen by me riding
up to the rear of Getty's division.

(12) These facts are as stated in a private letter from General
Getty to the writer, dated December 31, 1893.

(13) Here is an extract from a letter of General Wright to me,
dated July 18, 1889:

"Orders had been given by me for the establishment of the lines,
and Getty's and your divisions (the Second and Third) were in
position, and Wheaton's (First) and the Nineteenth Corps were coming
into position when General Sheridan arrived upon the ground. I
advised him of what had been done and what it was intended to do,
and he made no change in the dispositions I had made. Indeed, as
I understand, he fully approved them. . . . General Sheridan did
later make some change in the disposition of the cavalry."

(14) _Memoirs_, vol. ii., pp. 82, 85.

(15) Colonel Moses M. Granger, of the Second Brigade, Third
Division, says: "It is plain that our brigade was in line on
Getty's right a considerable time before Sheridan's arrival."--
