Gordon, who bad successfully led thereverse attack at Cedar Creek, in the Shenandoah, in Oc-tober, 1864. Near the crater stood Fort Stedman.

Across this space some deserters had passed tothe Union entrenchments. General Gordon took advantageof this fact and accordingly selected his men, who. at the soundof the signal gun, should disarm the Federal pickets, while fiftymore men were to cross the open space quickly with axes andcut away the abatis, and three hundred others were to rushthrough the opening, and capture the fort and guns. 7/ 1I to^^^^^^^^^S.
