. The Civil War through the camera : hundreds of vivid photographs actually taken in Civil War times, together with Elson's new history . HEROES OF MALVERN HILL Brigadier-General J. H. Martindale (seated) and his staff, July 1, 1862. Fitz John Porters Fifth Corps and Couchs division, FourthCorps, bore the brunt of battle at Malvern Hill where the troops of McClellan withstood the terrific attacks of Lees combined andsuperior forces. Fiery Prince John Magruder hurled column after column against the left of the Federal line, but every chargewas met and repulsed through the long hut summer afternoon. Martindales brigade of the Fifth Corps was early called into action,and its commander, by the gallant fighting of his troops, won the brevet of THE NAVY HAXD Officers of the Monitor at Malvern Hill. Glad indeed were the men of the Army of the Potomac as they emerged from their perilousmarch across White Oak Swamp to hear the firing of the gunboats on the James. It told them the Confederates had not yet pre-empted the occupation of Malvern Hill, which General Fitz John Porters Corps was holding. Before the battle opened McClellanwent aboard the Galena to consult with Commodore John Rodgers about a suitable base on the James. The gunboats of the fleetsupported the flanks of the army during the battle and are said to have silenced one of the Confederate batteries.
