Rice's Station VA092

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Ord first prepared to meet Lee at Burke's Junction on Sheridan's word that Lee was moving that way, tried unsuccessfully to warn Read, and that Longstreet waited at Rice's Station all day for Anderson, Ewell and Gordon.

Attributed knowledge from an interested history.

supportedunresolved Humphreys and Gibbon say the Twenty-fourth Corps reached Burke's Junction late on April 5 after marching fifty-two miles since April 3, and marched another eight or ten miles on the 6th.

March statements; the two accounts agree and are not independent (Humphreys follows the corps reports). No return inspected.

supportedunresolved Gibbon says the corps marched to head off Lee's forces trying to get round the Union left toward Danville; Humphreys says Longstreet was to wait at Rice's Station for the rest of the army.

Stated aims from an interested report and a history.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen and live results read Union victory. Gibbon says night ended the operations before his troops could drive in the pickets and the enemy was gone at daylight, retreating across the Appomattox at Farmville; Humphreys says Longstreet marched for Farmville as soon as night set in and crossed there; NPS says Longstreet withdrew over the High Bridge.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. NPS's High Bridge route conflicts with Humphreys' and Gibbon's Farmville crossing for Longstreet's column (Humphreys sends Gordon and Mahone over High Bridge); not reconciled.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 'Few' and the live field 66 (US 66; CS 0). Neither Humphreys nor Gibbon gives a figure for Rice's Station; Gibbon's recapitulation (946) covers the whole campaign.

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 campaign recapitulation is not assigned to this record. The live Confederate zero is not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Ord moved to intercept Lee with Gibbon's two divisions on orders also sent by Grant; Gibbon says he made preparations to attack. The frozen commanders are Longstreet (CS, Lieutenant General) and Gibbon (US); the live page lists Gibbon and 'Major General James Longstreet'.

Ord, not a frozen commander, commanded the column in Humphreys' account. Longstreet's direction is described only as waiting and withdrawing. The live rank is not adopted. 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.

supportedunresolved The frozen force field reads 'Corps' and the live field zero. Humphreys says Ord moved with Gibbon's two divisions, that Longstreet withdrew that night with Field's, Heth's and Wilcox's divisions after sending Mahone's back to cover the fugitives, and, in Appendix L, that Ord took about 10,000 infantry of Gibbon's corps on March 27; Gibbon names Foster's and Turner's divisions.

Formation lists and an earlier army-level figure; no count at Rice's Station. None is adopted as a matched opening strength; live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedunresolved Humphreys and Gibbon say Longstreet was found intrenched at Rice's Station.
