- Battle_of_Malvern_Hill abstract "At the Battle of Malvern Hill (July 1, 1862), the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under the command of General Robert E. Lee and the Union Army of the Potomac under the command of General George B. McClellan clashed near Richmond, Virginia. Also known as the Battle of Poindexter's Farm, the conflict involved over fifty thousand soldiers from each side, hundreds of pieces of artillery and three gunboats. The battle was part of the Peninsula Campaign's Seven Days Battles of the American Civil War.Richmond, as the capital of the Confederacy and center of the secession, was a city of obvious strategic importance for both belligerents of the Civil War. McClellan's attempts to take the city were repeatedly held off by Confederate commander-in-chief Joseph E. Johnston. But when Johnston was replaced by Robert E. Lee, the Confederacy went on the offensive. Collectively called the Seven Days Battles, Lee launched a series of counterattacks against McClellan and his army. The action on Malvern Hill was the culmination of the counteroffensive.The Union V Corps, under FitzJohn Porter, began taking up positions on the hill on June 30. As McClellan's commanders laid the groundwork for battle, McClellan himself was not present for the beginning of the battle, having boarded the ironclad USS Galena and sailed downriver. The preparations of Lee's men were hindered by several mishaps. Bad maps and faulty guides caused Confederate general John Magruder to be late for the battle, caution caused Benjamin Huger to be late and Stonewall Jackson had problems collecting the Confederate artillery. Nonetheless, it was the Confederates who started the battle when the artillery on the left flank began firing upon the Union line. The Union artillery triumphed in its defensive role, however. This was the story of the day, as attack after attack was repulsed by the Union.In the aftermath of the battle, Lee was heralded as the savior of Richmond in Confederate newspapers. McClellan however, was criticized harshly for his absence from the battlefield, an issue that would haunt him when he ran for president in 1864. From Malvern Hill, McClellan and his forces withdrew to Harrison's Landing where he would stay until August 16. Lee withdrew to Richmond and began preparing for his next operation, as Malvern Hill effectively ended the campaign on the Peninsula.".

- Battle_of_Malvern_Hill text "By this time, the level rays of the morning sun from our right were just penetrating the fog, and slowly lifting the clinging shreds and yellow masses. Our ears had been filled with agonizing cries from thousands before the fog was lifted, but now our eyes saw an appalling spectacle upon the slopes down to the woodlands half a mile away. Over five thousand dead and wounded men were on the ground, in every attitude of distress. A third of them were dead or dying, but enough were alive and moving to give to the field a singular crawling effect. The ebbing tide are often marked by the lines of flotsam and jetsam left along the sea-shore. So here could be seen three distinct lines of dead and wounded, marking the last front of three Confederate charges of the night before. Groups of men, some mounted, were groping about the field.".
