Re: Union Flags Captured at Williamsburg Rd

Another from the same book, page 245. The area was South of the James between 1:00 PM and dark, "midway between Hancock's northern line, fronting Burgess' Mill, and his southern one, facing W.H.F. Lee's men." Not sure of Trudeau's source.

"Exuberant Confederates rounded up scores of prisoners and hauled away the colors of the 5th Michigan, the 63rd Pennsylvania, and the 105th Pennsylvania."

BTW: The previous reference was on page 239.
