Conclusion: Inconclusive Victory<\/p>\n

BATTLE SUMMARY<\/p>\n

The Confederate retreat from Gettysburg began on July 4th as the defeated Army of Northern Virginia wearily filled the Pennsylvania and Maryland roads for 3 days, its wagon train of wounded alone stretching for 17 miles. Heavy downpours hampered the march, but Gen. Robert E. Lee’s confederates reached the Potomac River at Willaimsport, Maryland on the afternoon of the 6th and continued to arrive into the morning hours of the 7th.<\/p>\n

Since the rains had swelled the river, making it unfordable, Lee ordered the construction of pontoon bridges while his infantry and artillery erected a defensive line from Williamsport to Falling Waters. Little occured except for cavalry clashes and skirmishes until the 12th, when Maj. Gen. George B. Meade’s pursuing Army of the Potomac arrived opposite the Confederate position. The Federals, battered at Gettysburg as badly as the Confederates, simply entrenched before the Confederate works.<\/p>\n

By the next day the Potomac was passable at Williamsport, and the Confederate engineers had completed the pontoon bridge at Falling Waters. Lee ordered the retreat. Under the cover of darkness, the Confederates crossed to Virginia in a skillfully executed move, and by 11:00 A.M. the next morning, all units had reached the south bank except for 2 divisions at Falling Waters.<\/p>\n

Meade, meanwhile, had ordered a reconnaissance in force for 7:00 A.M. on the 14th. The advancing Federals found only abandoned works at Williamsport, while at Falling Waters the 2 Confederate divisions lay encamped over a mile from the river. Maj. Gen. John Buford’s and Brig. Gen. H. Judson Kilpatrick’s cavalry divisions led the Union advance at Falling Waters. Buford, approaching from the north, charged first.<\/p>\n

Before his assault could develop, however, Kilpatrick permitted 2 small squadrons to attack the surprised Confederates of Maj. Gen. Henry Heth’s division. In the melee, the Confederates, using rifles, fence rails, and axes, unhorsed most of these Union cavalrymen. Alerted, the Confederates fought stubbornly when Kilpatrick attacked with strength and Buford struck from the east. Before the 2 Confederate divisions could cross, they lost 719 officers and men as prisoners and abandoned 2 cannon. Their most grevious loss was Brig. Gen. James J. Pettigrew, who was mortally wounded in the initial attack.<\/p>\n

Because of the Union failure to destroy the Confederate army, Union generals exaggerated considerably the Confederates losses at Falling Waters. The Union cavalry had only surprised Heth’s soldiers, inflicting minimal casualties.<\/p>\n

BATTLE SUMMARY from HARPER’S WEEKLY<\/strong>, November 7, 1863<\/p>\n

[from: http:\/\/www.mycivilwar.com\/battles\/631014b.htm]<\/p>\n

Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade, believing that Gen. Robert E. Lee would attack the Union army at Centreville, issued orders on October 13 instructing his corps commanders to mass there the next day. Lee, however, had no intention of engaging Meade’s army at Centreville. He planned to intercept it sooner, preferably along the Orange & Alexandria Railroad. Bristoe Station was on the railroad.<\/p>\n

Early on October 14, Meade’s I and VI corps, followed by the III and V corps, crossed Broad Run north of Bristoe, heading toward Manassas. Marching from Catlett’s Station along the south side of the railroad, the rear of the Union infantry\u2014 Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren’s II Corps\u2014arrived at Bristoe early in the afternoon. Lee ordered Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell’s II Corps and Lt. Gen. Ambrose Powell Hill’s III Corps to march to Bristoe via Greenwich on the 14th. At Greenwich the Confederates encountered Union army stragglers. Ewell knew the countryside and decided to go cross-country and by back roads to Bristoe while Hill’s troops followed the road.<\/p>\n

Hill rode ahead, and from a high point he sighted troops of the V Corps crossing Broad Run. He ordered Maj. Gen. Henry Heth to form a battle line anchored on Greenwich Road. North Carolinians commanded by Brig. Gen. John R. Cooke and Brig. Gen. William W. Kirkland deployed on the right and left of the road, with Brig. Gen. Henry H. Walker’s Virginia Brigade behind Kirkland’s Brigade. Before they were in place, the impatient Hill sent his troops forward and directed Maj. William T. Poague’s artillery to fire into the Union troops.<\/p>\n

Hill erred, and launched a tragedy. He focused on the Union troops near Broad Run and failed to see Warren’s corps as it came up, its columns screened by the railroad cut to his right. He also neglected to note that Ewell’s corps was too far away to reinforce him.<\/p>\n

When Union skirmishers spotted the Confederates’ advance toward Broad Run, they crossed to the north side of the tracks and shielded Warren’s men as they hastened into position behind the 2-10 foot-high railroad embankment. Warren ordered the concealed troops commanded by Col. Francis E. Heath, Col. James Mallon, and Brig. Gen. Joshua T. Owen to hold their fire. Artillery under Capt. William Arnold and Capt. Robert Bruce Ricketts unlimbered on ridges behind them. Lt. T. F. Brown’s artillery, positioned on a hill across Broad Run, later joined Arnold and Ricketts.<\/p>\n

As the Confederates closed on Broad Run at 2:00 p.m., troop movements and musket fire behind the railroad drew their attention. Cooke’s and Kirkland’s brigades shifted to the right to face the attack. Then the hidden Union soldiers rose and fired directly into the charging Confederate soldiers. Despite the odds, the Confederates breached Mallon’s line and mortally wounded Mallon. Point-blank Union fire and an artillery enfilade severely wounded Cooke and Kirkland and forced the Confederates to retreat in disarray.<\/p>\n

Brig. Gen. Carnot Posey’s Mississippians and Brig. Gen. Edward A. Perry’s Floridians swarmed across the tracks and enveloped Col. Thomas Smyth’s left flank. Capt. Nelson Ames’s artillery roared into action and forced Perry and Posey back. When Cooke and Kirkland retreated, they left Maj. David G. McIntosh’s artillery battery without infantry protection. Union soldiers rushed forward, captured five guns, and pulled them back to the south side of the tracks.<\/p>\n

By 4:00 p.m., the Confederate battle lines had reformed about 500 yards north of the railroad, and Ewell’s corps and Lee had arrived. Union and Confederate artillery units began dueling, with the Union artillery having the advantage of stronger positions. At about 5:00 p.m. Maj. Gen. Robert E. Rodes’s Division of Ewell’s Corps seized the Kettle Run railroad bridge 1 mile west of Bristoe. Darkness approached, and the battle of Bristoe Station was over.<\/p>\n

Sporadic artillery fire continued during the evening. Confederate soldiers remained at their battle stations on the field, and it began raining. Throughout the night, the men listened to the cries of their wounded who lay near the railroad embankment and the Union line. The Federals carried their wounded off the battlefield, and by midnight they had quietly waded across Broad Run and resumed their march to Centreville.<\/p>\n

Early the next morning Lee and Hill rode across the battlefield. Lee was displeased. He told Hill to “bury these poor men and let us say no more about it.” Upon reading the battle reports, Jefferson Davis concluded, “There was a want of vigilance.” Hill’s misreading of the Union’s troop and position strength, his failure to determine the proximity of Confederate reinforcements, and his impatience, combined with Warren’s patience and effective use of the battlefield terrain\u2014including the railroad embankment\u2014resulted in the Confederate defeat.<\/p>\n

Bristoe Station was the sight of Hill’s first defeat by a comparable Union force. A remarkable combat officer, commander of Lee’s III Corps, Hill stumbled into a sharp, bloody defeat because of his impetuosity and failur to reconnoiter; 2 Confederate brigades were slaughtered by his poor generalship.<\/p>\n
