331 The North Anna is a rapid stream, with high banks. East of Taylor's bridge, towards Sexton's Junction, there is an exten- sive swamp, but westward the country is rolling. It was sup- posed that Lee would make a stubborn resistance at the cross- ings, but at Jericho Warren found only a few pickets upon the southern bank. A pontoon was laid and two divisions sent over; but moving towards the railroad a mile, they encoun- tered Hood's and Pickett's divisions of Ewell's corps. The cannonade was... heavy and the musketry sharp, mainly between Cutler's command and Ewell's, lasting till dark. It is about two miles from Jericho crossing to the railroad, the point for which the right wing was aiming. " I reckon that our troops did n't expect you to come this way, " said Mr. Quarles, a citizen residing on the north bank, with whom I found accommodation for the night. " I suppose you did n't expect Grant to get this side of the Wilderness ? " " We heard that he was retreating towards Fredericksburg, " was the response.
