McLellan Pushes Union Army Forward
'Continuing its forward movement toward Richmond, the Union Army engaged in a vicious battle on the outskirts of Williamsburg today.
Under the leadership of George McLellan the Federal forces exchanged blows with the Confederat troops. The Southern division was weak
and there weren't enough men to hold off the enemy. After a gallant stand for several hours, the Confederate fighters were forced to
retreat. Heavy rains during the past several days have slowed up the movement of both Armies. The fields and roads are heavy with
mud, causing delays and discontentment. The long march ot Richmond continues, with men not only having to battle themselves but the
elements as well.'
