		Despite surgeons insisting that he remain behind to have a chance at recovery, Pettigrew refused to be left behind and insisted on being carried with the Army.
		At Bristoe Station, Hill lost standing in the eyes of Lee, who angrily ordered him to bury his dead and say no more about it.
		At Bristoe the attack was ordered by me, and most gallantly made by your division; another corps of the enemy coming up on your right was unforeseen, as I had supposed that other troops were taking care of them.

	Bristoe Campaign
		Robert E. Lee seized on this oppurtunity to turn Meade's flank and advance on Washington, D.C. The lull in fighting in the east after the Gettysburg Campaign stretched for nearly 3 months as the Confederate Army Of Northern Virginia and the Army Of The Potomac, both ravaged by the campaign, recuperated.
		Lee had failed to intercept the Union retreat; and the campaign had no significant stategic result; but his brilliant manuever succeeded in pushing Meade back 40 miles and denying him the use of the railroad for over a month.
		The campaign illustrated the principle of the offensive that made the Confederate commander a great general.

	George Breck Columns - 1st NY Light Artillery Regiment Battery L during the Civil War - NY Military Museum and Veterans ...
		The engagement yesterday afternoon (Oct. 14 at Bristoe Station) between the troops covering the retreat and the rebels was a hot and severe one, judging from the heavy cannonading that we heard, and resulted disastrously to the enemy.
		It was a quick and vigorous march from the time we broke camp at Bristoe; and the gallant achievements that were made by the 3d, 5th and 6th corps on last Saturday (Nov. 7) prove that the recent forward movement of Meade’s army was a decided and brilliant success.
		The 1st and 2d divisions, with the artillery belonging to the corps, are stationed from Rappahannock Crossing to Bealton, employed as a guard to the communications this side of the river.

		On the 18th, the brigade being in position at Bristoe to resist the enemy, my command had position on the left of the railroad, and poured a volley into the enemy's ranks; but they retired so quickly we could not tell the effect of our fire.
		In the engagement near Buckland on the 19th, we could not get up in time to do much, though my boys were as ever eager for fight, and double-quicked to the front in time to give the enemy a few farewell shots and capture a number of prisoners.
		My total loss in the campaign was 4 men killed, 11 wounded, a lieutenant and 4 men captured.

		The campaign received it’s name from a small hamlet along the railroad line where the main contact was finally made- Bristoe Station.
		The captured flags were imprinted with identification numbers by the U.S. War Department, and when the flags were finally returned to the states at the turn of the century, those numbers were retained for the same purpose.

		Although we might be able to drive from Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Gloucester Point, we should have to abandon them, as troops could not be spared for their defense.
		I think it highly important to keep our troops as active as possible, and to strike the enemy at every vulnerable point, and should be very glad to use this army wherever it can be of most service.

		They marched north from Bristoe Station; halted, swung around to take a position facing south; waited; returned south, just missing the route of the Confederates by the Second Corps; waited; and marched north again crossing Bull Run.
		After the Union victory at Rappahannock Station, Lee pulled back his line from the Rappahannock to form a defensive position along the Rapidan, except the right flank, which was entrenched along Mine Run, a small tributary of the Rappahannock, in the part of Virginia known as The Wilderness.
		In this part of campaign of maneuvers, the 62d crossed the Rapidan and suffered the movement through the part of Virginia that in a few months would famously be known as The Wilderness.

		Because the Third Corps was not last in the line of march, it was past Bristoe Station when the Confederates made an unsuccessful attack on the Second Corps.
		General Meade's plan for this campaign was to cross the Rapidan River at a number of different fords and to attack the Confederate right flank.
		Also in March, the Third Corps, which had enjoyed a special identity since at least the Peninsula Campaign but was now reduced in numbers, was cut down to the level of a division and moved to the Second Corps.

		The author asserts that the Maryland campaign was a Federal success and allowed "the Lincoln administration to solidify its political support...." Quite the contrary happened.
		Regarding the competence at Gettysburg of Lee's key commanders, Stuart, Ewell, and Longstreet, the book provides a brief review of their failures concluding that "....while Ewell's incompetence and Longstreet's recalcitrance were important factors, Lee's unwillingness to issue direct orders or to take charge of the battle lay at the root of the problem".
		Understanding the military campaigns of the numerically weaker side is one of the more challenging issue in history.
