THE PENINSULAR CAMPAIGN, VA. [CHAP. XXIII.
SEVEN-DAYS’ BATTLES.
The medical officers generally were untiring in their efforts to relieve
the wounded. Brigade Surgeon Bigelow, Drs. Spencer, Middleton, and
Okie, U. S. Army, had charge of the field hospital. Drs. Steinberg, Forwood,
Ramsey, and Woodhull, U. S. Army; Assistant Surgeon Doolittle, New York
Volunteers, and Acting Assistant Surgeon General were prompt and faithful
in their onerous duties. Dr. Doolittle is spoken of by Colonel Warren as
being particularly distinguished by his services on the field after having
his horse shot under him and being severely bruised. Dr. Steinberg added
largely to the reputation already acquired on the disastrous field of Bull
Run.
My thanks are especially due to Captain Weed,
Fifth, and Captain Edwards, Third, U. S. Artillery, belonging to my division,
and to Captain Tidball, Second, and Lieutenant Kingsbury, Fifth, Regular
Artillery, and their lieutenants, for the superb manner in which their
guns were handled. For the names of these lieutenants the general is respectfully
referred to the reports of the battery commanders. It is not too much to
say that the enemy’s attack on my right flank was frustrated mainly by
the services of Captains Weed and Tidball.
In conclusion, no army ever underwent greater
hardship in the same length of time than this Army of the Potomac. Seven
pitched battles attest its valor. Hunger, night marches, tropical heat,
storm-drenched, weary, and exhausted,’they reached their new base uncomplainingly,
cheerful, still defiant.

I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
GEG. SYKES,
Brigadier- General, Commanding Division.
