Excerpt from Official Reports of J. Warren Keifer, Brevet Major General of Volunteers, U. S, Detailing Movements and Operations of His Command in the Battles of Winchester (1863); Brandy Station, Orange Grove, Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg (1864)
The official reports published in this volume detail the principal movements and operations of the 2nd Brigade, 3 rd Division, 3 rd Army Corps, in the year 1863, and of the same Brigade in the 3 rd Division, 6th Army Corps, in the years 1864 and 1865, in the Army of the Potomac, including those of the 3 rd Division, 6th Army Corps at the memorable battle of Cedar Creek, Va., October, 1864, under Maj. Genl."s Wright and Sheridan, and also, including the part taken by the 110th Ohio Volunteer Infantry at Winchester, June, 1863.
They are printed from exact copies of official reports, written, as required by orders from Army, Corps and Division Head Quarters.
In consequence of very proper orders issued by the War Department, no official reports were allowed to be published during the War, save by permission of the proper authority.
The officers and soldiers who participated in the movements and battles of the War deserve to have their services laid before the public, by the publication of the official reports.
These reports are published for gratuitous circulation among the officers and soldiers of the command to which they refer, with the hope that they may be appreciated by them.
All that is contained in this volume, aside from official reports, was written with a view to show the movements of troops in the intervals of time between the important operations recited in the reports.
Nominal and summary lists of casualties are omitted after each report, but a general summary by Regiments, of casualties in the several engagements, is appended.
