Chancellorsville, VA after battle report:

No. 384.

Report of Col. Andrew J. Hutchins, Nineteenth Georgia Infantry.

MAY 8, 1863.

SIR: In accordance with orders, I respectfully submit the following as
a report of the operations of this regiment in the recent engagement:

The morning of April 29, we marched to the right of Hamilton's
Crossing, and remained there until early the morning of the 30th, when
we moved forward and took a position in the ditches, in front.

Here we remained until early the morning of the 1st, when we began the
march up the river. About 2 o'clock we arrived in the Wilderness, on
the Plank road, some 8 or 10 miles from Fredericksburg, and heard the
picket fighting which was going on with the enemy. At this point we
formed line of battle and moved forward some 2 miles without
encountering any of the enemy. We came to a halt on the edge of a
flied, and remained until near sundown, when we moved back to the
Plank road and up it a short distance, and rested for the night.

Early on the morning of the 2d, we began their march and made the
circuit of the enemy, and came in on their right about 3 o'clock in the
evening. We were formed here in line of battle, my regiment forming
the right of Gen. Colquitt's brigade. After remaining quiet here for
some time, we moved forward, and after going some distance it was
reported to Gen. Colquitt that we were being flanked on our right. I
was ordered by him to detach my command and look after the flanking
party. I made a change of front obliquely to the right, and moved
forward a few hundred yards, but did not meet the enemy, but could see
them fleeing before me, out of range of my guns. I deemed it useless to
proceed any farther in that direction, so I turned to my left and followed
the brigade. While making to the left, the enemy threw a few shell at
my regiment and wounded 2 of my men. Just before dark we rejoined
the brigade, and were placed an hour or two afterward on the front line,
near the batteries on our line, close to the Plank road.

Here we lay upon our arms during that night, and early on the morning
of the 3d we were marched out and carried some 3 miles toward
extreme right. We were formed in line of battle; moved forward over
a mile; then brought to a left flank and marched back to the extreme left
again; then brought to the about; carried back toward then right again;
formed in line again; moved forward some distance; then to a left flank;
carried to the extreme left and across the Plank road about 1 1/2 or 2
mile s from Chancellorsville, and finally moved forward here, and ment
the enemy and drove them nearly a mile, under their guns.

What few men I had left after the fatiguing and long march acquitted
themselves very creditably, and I did not notice any acts of skill or valor
worthy of especial mention during the engagement.

My loss was 3 killed on the field and 40 wounded; among the later,
one of my best officers. A list of the casualties will be found below*.

After the fighting was over on the 3d, we were marched in front of
Chancellorsville, and took up position and intrenched ourselves, and
remained until we were ordered back to camp, without meeting with any
other incident of note.

My utter ignorance of the locality and the names of places renders it
impossible for me to make the localities referred to above intelligible.
I cannot say that my regiment captured any arms. Those that were in the
hands of the enemy that we wounded we left lying upon the field.

I am, very respectfully,

A. J. HUTCHINS,
Col. Nineteenth Georgia.

[Capt. G. G. GRATTAN, Assistant Adjutant-Gen.]
