"Gen. Mansfield, the corps commander, had been mortally wounded, and
was borne past my position to the rear." (Page 485, Vol. XIX, Part
I.)
This "position" is not defined further than to state that it was
"Miller's" woods, or "East woods," as we now call them.
V. Gen. Williams, commanding 1st division and succeeding Mansfield in
command of the corps, says:
"While the deployment [of the 12th corps] was going on and before the
leading regiments were fairly engaged, it was reported to me that the
veteran and distinguished commander of the corps was mortally
wounded." (Page 475, Vol. XIX.)
