OPPOSING FORCES AT SENEN PINES,
the brigade of 2366, his 5000 being distributed as they arrived in detachments.General Lawton stated in writing that he brought about 6000 men fromGeorgia to the Valley; but as they had never marched before, they wereincapable of moving at Jackson’s rate, and he estimated that 2500 had beenunable to keep their places when they arrived at Gaines’s Mill, where, as hestates, he had 3500. But the laggards rejoined him in two or three days.
I estimated Jackson’s and Ewell’s forces at 16,000, because Ewell told methat his was 8000, and Jackson’s had been usually about twenty-five per cent,larger. Mr. Davis puts the joint force at 8000. His authority has stated italso at 12,000 (see “Personal Reminiscences of General Lee,” p. 6), and thisis far below the fact. My object in this is to show that I consulted respect-able authorities. Mr. Davis proves that his forces were not well employed.
