Globe Tavern VA072

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Dearing reported the Union force on the railroad to Beauregard and that Lee, on learning it from Beauregard, sent Mahone's and W. H. F. Lee's divisions back; Lee's August 18 dispatch reports the Fifth Corps moving on the railroad at about noon.

Attributed knowledge in a history and a dispatch; not a message log.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says the days were oppressively hot with heavy rain that made side roads and fields almost impassable for artillery, and relays Warren that many men fell out in the heat of the first day and were counted missing.

Weather and movement statements; no transport return inspected.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Warren was sent to seize and hold the Weldon Railroad at Globe Tavern and quotes Grant's wish to force Lee to withdraw troops from the Valley.

Stated aims from an interested history.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory; NPS says Grant extended his lines west and cut Petersburg's main rail link with Wilmington, forcing a 30-mile wagon haul from Stony Creek Station. Humphreys says no further attempts on Warren's position were made. Lee reports the Fifth Corps defeated with about 2,700 prisoners on the 19th and, on the 21st, the enemy driven to his main works and not dislodged.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. Lee's August 20 characterization of the 19th and the recorded result differ in scope; not reconciled.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 5,879 (US 4,279; CS 1,600) and the live field 6,055 (US 4,455; CS 1,600). Humphreys gives Warren's losses as 544 killed and wounded and 392 missing on the 18th and 382 killed and wounded and 2,518 missing on the 19th (1,805 from Crawford's division), and on the 21st 517 prisoners and six flags taken and 211 enemy dead buried, with Warren's own loss that day incomplete in OCR ('301 killed,' followed by a lost line); Lee reports 150 prisoners on the 18th, about 2,700 on the 19th and over 300 on the 21st.

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' day totals, Lee's prisoner counts and the frozen totals are overlapping populations. At the p.277/278 page break the OCR loses a line of Warren's August 21 loss; only '301 killed' survives, and no wounded or missing count is inferred.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Mahone, familiar with the woods, broke through Bragg's skirmish line and took Crawford in rear on the 19th, that Warren reformed his divisions and regained the ground, and that the conditions imposed on Warren were too many for such ground. Lee credits Hill with the August 19 and 21 attacks. The frozen commanders are Lee, A. P. Hill, Heth and Mahone (CS) and Warren (US); the live page lists Warren and 'Major General Robert Lee'.

Direction and criticism attributed as stated; the live rank is not adopted. No listed commander receives automatic sole credit. The footnote on the conditions imposed on Warren has lost its opening words at the p.277/278 page break in OCR.

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 text reads 'Corps (34,300 total)' and the live field zero. Humphreys gives the Army of the Potomac 33,684 effective infantry at this time, says the three Ninth Corps divisions sent to Warren had about 6,000 men, not all available, and that Warren first met only Dearing's cavalry brigade, then Heth with two brigades, then Hill with five brigades under Heth and Mahone on the 19th and his own corps with part of Hoke's on the 21st.

An undivided total, an army-wide figure and formation lists for different days. None is adopted as a matched opening strength; live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Crawford's right was in dense woods with close underbrush, a cornfield hid everything from Crawford's and Ayres's view, and the country was covered with dense woods whose cart tracks were unknown to Union troops; on the 20th Warren chose a position chiefly in open ground favorable to artillery.

The woods and fields predate the engagement; the August 20 position was a commander's choice and is not tagged inherited.
