Pickett's Mill GA012

supportedunresolved Cox says Howard and Wood's reconnaissance seemed to show they overlapped the Confederate line and that prisoners' statements suggested only cavalry held the flank. Cleburne says Govan's morning reconnaissance reported the enemy moving to their own left. NPS calls the flank seemingly exposed and says the Confederates were ready.

Attributed knowledge from interested accounts and a summary; no message log inspected.

supportedunresolved Cox says McLean left Howard when the attack was abandoned, his men being without rations. Cleburne says his ordnance, medical department and artillery were well administered, but that his Napoleon guns sent to the right could find no positions and were useless.

Condition statements from interested accounts; no supply or ordnance return inspected.

supportedunresolved Cox says Wood, supported by Johnson and McLean, was to make a vigorous effort to turn the Confederate right, under orders to avoid direct assault on fortified lines. Cleburne says Lowrey's successive formation answered the Union attempt to extend its left and turn his right. NPS says Sherman ordered Howard to attack.

Stated plans from interested accounts and a summary; not a causal estimate.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Confederate victory. Cox says Wood was forced to retire and halted on a ridge in the rear, but calls the ground gained valuable for the extension of the left. Cleburne says Granbury's night charge met no resistance and many Union soldiers fled or surrendered. NPS says the attack was repulsed with high casualties.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. Cox's claim that ground was gained is a campaign-level judgment, not the tactical result.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 2,100 (US 1,600; CS 500); the live field reads 2050 (US 1600; CS 450). Cleburne gives his own loss as 85 killed and 363 wounded, estimates the Union dead at not less than 500 and total killed and wounded at not less than 3,000, and reports 160 prisoners sent to army headquarters besides 72 wounded in his hospital. Cox says Howard reported a total loss of about fifteen hundred, and that Johnston claims seventy wounded and 140 prisoners.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Cleburne's killed and wounded sum to 448 (a computation here), close to the live CS 450; his prisoner figures and Johnston's as quoted by Cox differ. The Union figures are estimates or an approximate total.

supportedunresolved Cox says McLean's diversion miscarried through some mistake and that the attack would probably have succeeded had Johnson pushed Scribner's brigade on after noticing he was flanked only by cavalry. Cleburne credits Granbury's Texans and Lowrey. NPS says supporting troops never appeared. The frozen commanders are Major General Patrick R. Cleburne and Major General Oliver O. Howard; the live page gives the same ranks.

Attributed judgments from interested accounts and a summary; Johnson, McLean, Granbury and Lowrey are not listed commanders; the frozen commanders do not receive automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

supportedunresolved The frozen force fields name the IV Corps against Cleburne's Division and Kelly's Brigade without counts; the live field reads zero. Cleburne says he carried 4,683 muskets into the engagement, and says a dismounted cavalry force had passed behind Granbury as the Union advance began; Quarles's brigade, sent up by Hood, later formed a second line. Cox says Wood's division attacked in a column six lines deep, with Johnson's division (Fourteenth Corps) in echelon and McLean's brigade (Army of the Ohio) as support, and that Wheeler's dismounted cavalry struck Johnson's flank.

Cleburne's musket count is a partial one-side figure (muskets, not all personnel) for his division; the Union attacking force was not only the IV Corps. No matched count is inspected and none is adopted. The live zero is not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Cleburne says his position was covered with trees and undergrowth, that a deep ravine ran in front of Granbury, and that entrenchments were thrown up on the 26th and 27th. Cox says the ground was a dense wood broken into ravines where nothing could be seen, and that what Howard and Wood took for the end of the Confederate line was an angle making a sharply refused flank.

Ground described by interested accounts; no map verification. The Confederate works were built during the operation and are not tagged inherited. Johnston's report (cited in GA010 wooded-ridges-and-works; not a GA012 family) says the troops were not entrenched in the May 25 and May 27 actions; Cleburne's statement of entrenchments thrown up on the 26th-27th conflicts with it and is unresolved. How far those works covered the ground of the afternoon fight is not settled in the inspected passages.
