First Sharp Shooters
"At about 1 o'clock on the morning of the 2d of April, orders were received from corps headquarters to mass one brigade (except garrisons) by 4 o'clock on the same morning near fort Sedgwick, on the 2d division front, where General Hartranft was to make a real attack with his division and a brigade from each of the other divisions, while, by the same order, I was directed to make a vigorous demonstration along my whole division line with the rest of my troops at the same hour.
" Colonel Harriman was accordingly detached, with staff officers who knew the road, with tools, ammunition, and every possible aid, to report to Hartranft; and this brigade was in position and formed at the moment required.
