Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 3. (ed. Frank Moore), Doc. 59. Lieut. McCrea's report on Potomac River rebel batteries. (search)
mit the following report:--This morning, about sunrise, I discovered men at work digging, &c., at Freestone Point. I got under way at half-past 9 A. M., (having satisfied myself that they were making batteries,) in company with the Seminole, Lieut. Norton in charge. I ordered her to follow my motions. We proceeded to Freestone Point, and I went close in and fired six shells, dispersing the workmen, and receiving no return of fire I stood out. At that moment the Seminole opened fire with her returned; and while passing the Valley City she was informed that a shot from shore had passed through the bows of the said vessel; and not having sufficient steam to make any progress to get out of the reach of the enemy's battery, requested Lieut. Norton to tow him toward Indian Head; which was done. The enemy's battery continued their fire upon all vessels and steamers passing up and down until three P. M. To the best of my judgment there are four guns at said battery; one rifled gun, extre

exploits, we forded the Licking, some three feet in depth. A chilly, drizzling rain, making the roads still more muddy and slippery, added to fatigue of the men. Taking into account the nature of the road and other adverse circumstances, the march may be considered a remarkably severe one. We were accompanied by a company of cavalry and two six-pounders belonging to a battery which, as also the cavalry, had only reached Camp Garrett Davis a few hours before we left. They came in with Col. Norton's Twenty-first Ohio. It was known that a rebel force was encamped in or near the town, but of their number or situation we had no definite information. The original intention was, I think, to reach the town during the night and surround the enemy. The almost impassable condition of the road, and some halts to enable the artillery to overtake us, detained us so much that day-light found us some five miles from our journey's end. Those for whose especial benefit we had made so long a jou

e of forty miles--and turn or cut them off. Colonel Sill marched at eleven A. M. on the 7th. At five A. M. of the 8th General Nelson moved forward with the Second regiment O. V. U. S. A., Colonel Harris; Twenty-first regiment O. V. U. S. A., Colonel Norton; Fifty-ninth regiment O. V. U. S. A., Colonel Fyffe; the battalion of Kentucky Volunteers under Colonel Charles A. Marshall, and two sections of artillery, Captain Konkle, and took the State road direct to Pikeville, twenty-eight miles. Some wounded thirteen of Marshall's men. General Nelson ordered the Kentuckians to charge. Colonel Harris, whose regiment was immediately behind the General, led his men up the mountain side most gallantly and deployed them along the face of it. Colonel Norton, whose regiment had just reached the defile, anticipating an order from the General, led his men up the northern ridge of the mountain, deployed them along the creek, and went at the rebels. Two pieces of artillery were got in position in th
