Topic: Battle of Hatchers Run

	Peter Charles Remondino
		Civilians can never realize what it meant to be in the Petersburg trenches, from the time of its investment to its ending with the result of the battle of Hatchers Run, a victory, which as hoped was immediately followed by the evacuation of Petersburg.
		Had the men of Hatchers Run been better fed and conditioned Federals, at least four-fifths would have recovered but those poor half dead Confedereate wounded, were similarly to the Confederacy, in their death throes when wounded.
		The battle had been fought on both sides with long ashen oars peculiar to that region, the sharp edge of which cut like a sword, so that most of the wounds were about their heads and shoulders while some few had broken ribs where the oar had been used like a lance.

		The battle is not to the strong -5- in numbers alone, it is to the just, to the right and the true.
		Several of the company were not in that battle; they stopped on the side of the road on the Virginia side of the river, and went to sleep, and never caught up with the command until after the battle.
		When the battle began we were called out about 2 o' clock A.M. in the night, it was bitter cold, and we suffered much with cold, for we formed a line in the road and stood there until daylight without any fire to warm by.

		There was only one avenue of escape, a quick dash to the west and then across the bridge spanning Hatcher’s Run.
		A veteran recalled, “We hastily withdrew, expecting to cross Hatcher’s Run, but we soon found the enemy had taken possession of the only bridge across the stream.” The Southerners scurried along the east bank of Hatcher’s Run, searching for a place to cross.
		There was no place to go, so the determined veterans halted, put their backs to Hatcher’s Run and prepared to make a final stand.

	US Sharpshooters
		Before the outbreak of the Civil War, a few hand picked sharpshooters were used as a presidential guard (On the day of President Lincoln's inauguration Sharpshooters were used because of the threat on his life from the rebellious confederacy).
		A few moments later the rebels fell back, and as part of the regiment passed the spot in pursuit, the lifeless form of the rebel sharpshooter was seen lying as he had fallen, a victim to the mode of warfare of which he himself had chosen.
		The United States sharpshooters leave behind them a glorious record in the Army of the Potomac since the first operation against Yorktown in 1862 upto Hatchers Run, and a few are the battles or engagements, where they did not make their mark.
