I now proceeded to do all in my power to insure success on the new line of operations thus imposed upon me. On the 20th of May our light troops reached the Chickahominy at Bottom's Bridge, which they found destroyed. I at once ordered Casey's division to ford the stream and occupy 1.--Union water-battery in front of Yorktown. 3.--Confederate water-battery, called battery Magruder, Yorktown. from photographs. 2.--exploded gun, Confederate fortifications at Yorktown. 4.--an angle of the Confederate fortifications at Yorktown. the heights beyond, thus securing a lodgment on the right bank.
