Next, a division of infantry was to cross, moving by the left flank, so as to be in posi- tion, when halted and fronted, to move without any con- fusion or delay immediately down General Grant's lines, toward his left, capturing his troops, or forcing them to abandon their works and form under our advancing fire at right angles to his line of works.
" Next was to cross the cavalry, who were to ride to the rear, cut the enemy's telegraph lines, capture his pon- toons, and prevent or delay the cr...ossing of reinforcements from beyond the Appomattox. Next, my whole force was to swell the column of attack. Then, as the front of our lines was cleared of the enemy's troops, our divisions were to change front and join in pressing upon the enemy, driv- ing him farther from the other wing of General Grant's army, and widening the breach." At a Council of War, in which the question of making an offensive movement and the capture of the opposing fort by a storming party was discussed, and the duties of the various officers assigned, a high tribute was paid to the courage of the Louisiana brigades.
