Haw's Shop VA058

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Sheridan reported at 6 p.m. that prisoners placed Longstreet's and Ewell's corps four miles from Hawes's Shop, and that his own identification of the Confederate force comes later from Fitzhugh Lee.

Attributed reports; Fitzhugh Lee's information is postwar and not inspected directly.

No battle-specific supply, ammunition or transport return was inspected. Retrospective descriptions are not readiness measures.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Sheridan was directed to demonstrate toward Richmond to learn where the enemy was posted; Sheridan's report says the aim was to find out the enemy's whereabouts. NPS says Gregg advanced to cover the army's crossing and movement toward the Totopotomoy.

Stated aims from an interested history, the Union commander and a summary.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen result reads Inconclusive and the live result Indecisive. NPS says the Federal advance was stopped after seven hours. Humphreys says Custer and Gregg carried the intrenchments and drove the enemy back; Sheridan's report calls it a hard-contested engagement, and a garbled line of it appears to say the enemy was driven back, leaving his dead.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. NPS and the Union accounts describe the end of the fight differently.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen and live casualty fields read 744 (US 344; CS 400). The inspected Sheridan and Humphreys passages give no count for this action.

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. Humphreys' May 28–31 totals are context only (see VA057).

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Custer's brigade and Gregg's division carried the intrenchments late in the day, with Fitzhugh Lee on the Confederate right and Hampton on the left, and, citing Sheridan, that Torbert's other brigades were not seriously engaged. The frozen commanders are Brigadier General Gregg and Major Generals Fitzhugh Lee and Hampton; the live page lists Gregg and Fitzhugh Lee.

Roles as stated; no listed commander receives 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.

disputedunresolved The frozen force field reads Divisions and the live field zero. NPS names Gregg's division supported by Torbert's against Fitzhugh Lee's and Hampton's divisions, later reinforced by Butler's brigade. Sheridan's report says the force appeared to be the enemy's cavalry corps and a South Carolina brigade; Humphreys relays Sheridan that the brigade was reported 4,000 strong, but cites Fitzhugh Lee for two divisions of two brigades each and Butler's brigade.

The identifications differ; the 4,000 is a report relayed by Sheridan, not a return. None is adopted as a matched opening strength; live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Humphreys and Sheridan's report say the enemy's cavalry was dismounted behind temporary breastworks of rails about a mile beyond Hawes's Shop; NPS says the fighting was mostly dismounted over seven hours.

Works built for the engagement; no map verification.
