6, 1864. Battle of Spotsylvania May 12, 1864,
where Gordon's Brigade of about two thousand had captured
about twenty five hundred prisoners, had killed and wounded
about as many more, and routed five or six times our number.
After this Generals Gordon, Evans & Lowe was promoted.
From there we marched to Hanover, Va., with heavy skirmishing every day. We

miles, thence to Martinsburg, where we arrived on the 3d of
July. On the 4th five companies of the 38th Regiment were
left at Martinsburg, W. Va., on provost guard, Captain S. G.
Rankin in command. We crossed into Maryland. Left there on
July 8th. Fell back to Winchester, with some prisoners. We
did guard there until July 18th, when the army returned to
Virginia. We joined them near Berryville. At twelve o'clock
on the night of the 20th we marched in the direction of Middletown. Arrived 
there on the 21st and stayed until the 22d.
Marched to Strasburg. Camped until the 24th when we
marched back to Middletown, where we had a fight. At Winchester we camped until 
the evening of the 25th, then marched
near Bunker Hill, W. Va. On the 26th we passed through
Martinsburg, W. Va. Went to work tearing up Baltimore A
Ohio R. R. On the 31st went to Darksville, where we camped
until August 3d, then to Martinsburg, W. Va. On the 4th to

captured about twenty stands of colors. The most of the enemy
were still in bed, and rose, running in their night clothes and
leaving everything behind. Some said they ran to Winchester,
which is fifteen miles, without hat or shoes. That was the biggest capture we 
ever made. Every sweet has its bitter, and that
evening we lost it all and more too. We fell back to Fisher's
