terrible battle of Gaines; Mills was the re

,securod, the army the .uieans of retreat.
The battles that followed, omit the transfer
‘, of all our forces from the left to the right

During this‘ retreat, in which pOrtia'ns of
our'aLmy had to fight. as he states, double ‘

thought of the policy that compelled this
