GDG- Re:Cushing spent the day yawning ...Ho-Hum!

[Chuck May]

Dave,

Happy New Year to you and the rest of the esteemed group.

When did LT Dwight write the report to Hunt? Is it published somewhere?

Thanks.

Esteemed GDG Member Contributes:

What's unique about Cushing when Wright's line struck west of the trees is 
the fact Lieutenant George Dwight, 2nd Corps Ordnance Officer, was with him
[the 
battery] at that time. Dwight wrote a lengthy note to Hunt (on request)
about 
what occurred that day at that time mentioning only Brown's misfortunes. 
Other then suggesting he sent two of Cushings caissons to Gillette's trains
before 
the firing stopped not one word is mentioned of either Cushing and or 
Arnold's engagements [to a degree]. To him it was just another ... ho-hum
engagement 
as it were. I would imagine had either of those batteries been overrun
Dwight 
might have made note of it.

Best ... yawn,

Dave
