Hand-to-hand fighting at Spotsylvania. by G. Norton Galloway.
General Hancock's surprise and capture of the larger portion of Edward Johnson's division, and the capture of the salient at Spotsylvania Court House on the 12th of May, 1864, accomplished with the Second Corps, have been regarded as one of the most brilliant feats of that brilliant soldier's career; but without the substantial assistance of General Wright, grand old John Sedgwick's worthy successor, and the Sixth Corps, a defeat as bitter as his victory was sweet would have been recorded against the hero of that day.
The storm which had set in early in the afternoon of the 11th of May continued with great severity, and but little rest was obtained during the night.
Soon after dark, however, a remarkable change in the weather took place, and it became raw and disagreeable; the men gathered in small groups about half-drowned fires, with their tents stretched about their shoulders, while some hastily pitched the canva

McAllister's brigade at the bloody angle. by Robert McAllister, Brevet Major-General, U. S. V.
The writer of the article on Hand-to-hand fighting at Spotsylvania gives all the honor of holding the salient on May 12th, 1864, to the Sixth Corps.
It was the Second Corps that made the grand charge of May 12th, and my brigade
On the 13th came an order for consolidation, by which this brigade became the Third Brigade, Third Division, Second Corps, under which name it continued to the end of the war.--R. Mca. of that corps, the First Brigade of the Fourth Division, helped to defend the Bloody angle from the first to the last of the fearful struggle.
The brigade which I commanded during all these operations was composed of the 1st and 16th Massachusetts, the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 11th New Jersey, and the 26th and 115th Pennsylvania.
In the great charge at dawn it was in the second line.

General Edwards's brigade at the bloody angle. by James L. Bowen, historian of the 37TH Massachusetts regiment.
In the article entitled Hand-to-hand fighting at Spotsylvania, the author, while generally accurate and graphic, omits any reference to that brigade of the Sixth Corps (Colonel Oliver Edwards's Fourth Brigade, Second Division) which was first engaged there, which was holding the key to the position when his own (Upton's) brigade came upon the field, and which fought longer than any other brigade of the Sixth Corps engaged.
On that day the brigade had present for duty three small regiments, the 10th and 37th Massachusetts and the 2d, Rhode Island.
When the First and Second Divisions of the Sixth Corps, which had been massed the previous evening, were summoned to the support of Hancock, whose Second Corps had penetrated the Confederate lines, General Wright, who had just assumed command of the Sixth Corps, directed that the first brigade under arms and ready to move sho
