[Confed.] & forcing it W. to Leggett`s Hill, halted here at sundown. Leggett`s 3d div. was brought forward & would have moved against Wheeler`s position one-half mile W. but for the failure to get orders. While making a personal reconnaissance of Wheeler`s position in his front, Gresham received a wound that ended his military service. In 1893-1895 he was Secretary of State in President Grover Cleveland`s Cabinet. 044-43 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1956
