BERMUDA HUNDRED. Tracing of Official Map. Scale, one and one half inches to one mile. 1864 BERMUDA HUNDRED. 333 visions to the front; tlie divisions then proceed independently, threadingtlieir way through the timber and brush, all the divisions marching sideby side and by the right flank — in columns of twos. Gen. Burnhamrides back, looks the movement over, and is furious. He orders thechange corrected instanter, and the Reg. is re-formed as rapidly as themen and officers can run, and set marching by the right flank as before,and amid a storm and war of hard words. The marching by divisionswas by far the easiest method — but the General had not ordered it.The members of the Thirteenth probably never laughed over a move-ment, and the breaking up of it with a whisk and a gale, so much as overthis one, during their whole term of service. Capt. Dodge happened tobe on horseback at the time, and declares that his men ran forward, intothe colunm again, faster than his horse could gallop.
