Lewis's Farm VA085

supportedunresolved Johnson says the cavalry reported the enemy advancing in force on the Quaker road and then that the enemy were retiring beyond Gravelly Run, so he did not expect to meet them before that line; Humphreys says Lee sent Anderson as soon as the Union movement was perceived that morning.

Attributed reports in an interested report and a history; not a message log.

No battle-specific supply, ammunition or transport return was inspected. Retrospective descriptions are not readiness measures. Humphreys' heavy rain begins on the night after this engagement and is cited under VA087.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Grant did not intend to attack the intrenched position but to force Lee out of it, and that Warren was directed at midday to move up the Quaker road; Johnson says Anderson ordered him to attack and drive the enemy back to the Vaughan road.

Stated aims from a history and an interested report.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory. Humphreys says the Confederates were forced back into their White Oak road intrenchments after losing some 200 prisoners; Johnson says Wallace's and Wise's brigades were repulsed by a heavy fire from the left and the division retired at dusk into the works near Burgess' Mill.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 750 (US 380; CS 370) and the live field 752 (US 381; CS 371). Humphreys gives Griffin's loss as 367 killed and wounded, some 200 Confederate prisoners and a Confederate loss 'evidently greater'; Johnson gives his loss as about 250, mainly from Wise's and Wallace's brigades, and the unsigned note printed after his report gives an aggregate of 183 for the Quaker road under a unit name garbled in OCR ('Muse').

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. The note's unit and population are unclear and it is not added to Johnson's 250.

supportedunresolved The frozen commanders are Bushrod Johnson (CS) and Warren (US), and the live page lists the same two. Johnson says Anderson, who arrived as Wise charged, directed him to send forward Wallace's brigade and later to withdraw the division at about 5 p.m.; Humphreys says Warren moved as directed, with Chamberlain's brigade leading.

Direction attributed as stated; Anderson, not a frozen commander, directed the Confederate commitment and withdrawal in Johnson's account. 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 'Corps' and the live field zero. Humphreys says Chamberlain's brigade of Griffin's division met Wise's and Wallace's brigades of Anderson's command, with part of Bartlett's brigade joining toward the close, and that Lee had sent Anderson with Bushrod Johnson's division and Wise's brigade; Johnson says he advanced Wise's brigade with Wallace's, Moody's and Ransom's following. As campaign context, Humphreys gives the spring 1865 effective force from the latest returns as 69,000 infantry of the Army of the Potomac, 124,700 of all arms in the three Union commands, and not less than 46,000 infantry and 57,000 of all arms for Lee; his Appendix L gives the Army of the Potomac 3,064 officers and 68,956 enlisted infantry present for duty equipped on March 31 and Lee not less than 55,500 on the February 20 return, 'and probably on the 25th of March'.

The engagement figures are formation lists only. The army-wide figures are Union effective and present-for-duty returns of March 31 and a Confederate return of February 20 (the last found), with Humphreys' own additions; his 57,000 and 55,500 for Lee differ in basis and are not reconciled. None is adopted as a matched opening strength; live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedinherited Humphreys describes the country as flat, generally covered with dense forest and tangled undergrowth and crossed by small swampy streams, and places the contact near the steam sawmill on the Quaker road; Johnson says Wise's brigade came under fire on entering the skirts of the woods south of the Boydton plank road and Quaker road fork.

Ground and woods predate the engagement. No map verification.
