The Park has a fantastic map of the area for sale, it is less than $10 and shows all the brigade positions in color, it was made from the research of former park historian, Dennis Kelly, who was the expert. You might also want to speak to the park historian, Willy Ray Johnson. I have edited the letters of C.Irvine Walker of the 10th SC, and Manigault's staff, so I have looked into their activities fairly heavily, so here are his letters from the 26th and 28th, he was serving on Manigault's staff at the time.

* * * * Today is Sunday, and I could not help writing to you. * * *
Today all nature and even the opposing armies seem to recognize the Sabbath. There is very little skirmishing on the line, and I have only heard Artillery for about ten minutes-whereas for the past few days the rattle of
musketry on the picket line has been incessant and the booming of cannon to be heard at all times. I hope the day may pass without any interruption to its quiet and sanctity. Mr. Richards held divine service for us in the rear of our line and near our Hd. Qrs. and I know of four separate meetings being held at once this morning in our Brigade. It is a very beautiful sight to see the old weather beaten veterans, who fearless and defiantly expose their line to the foe, who rush forward to battle with brave hearts and ready hands, humbling themselves before
their God. Can a people like this, a God-fearing, religious people, armed in a righteous cause and fighting for their homes, their lives, their liberty,their honor,
ever be conquered by the vandal horde which threatens us? Never! God will preserve us and in his own good time give us the victory and restore us to the loved ones and homes we have left at our country's call.

I am very sorry to say that Hindman is putting his Division in a very bad condition. He is utterly incapable to command a Corporal's guard, much less a Division. We were once the very best Division in the Army and now I can't but admit that any other is better than this. Just now he is creating a great deal of trouble. He has undertaken to impress all the negroes of the Officers and men which were at the Cooking Train and distribute them
through the Brigade irrespective of Regts. Heretofore the negroes have been cooking for their own Regiments, and saving the detailing of many soldiers for that purpose, but not that H. has taken them away from the control of their masters etc, the officers and men positively refuse to allow it, and the consequence is that a great many of the negroes have been withdrawn. Col. Pressley was ordered to return his, and he refused, and was arrested by the "grand Mogul" H. and all the officers having servants at the cooking train expect to be arrested. The Division will be in a pretty condition then. Everything was working smoothly until Genl. H. assumed the higher power than the Confederate Congress sees fit to take to itself, and impressed these negroes. There is no doubt but that Pressley and the other officers are right and will be cleared by any Court Martial, but still their commands will suffer in the meantime for want of their services. Our servants are at the Baggage train and so far we have not been interfered with, but if Genl. Hindman attempts to order Jack up here to cook, and attempts to exert any authority over him, Col. P. will have my company in his arrest. I have not the slightest intention of putting up with any such piece of tyranny.

I have heard nothing of my promotion yet, and am feeling very anxious about it. It is now two months since the papers went up and full time has been allowed for the action of the Secty. of War. I should not be at all surprised if they were mislaid. I know the War. Dept. is sufficiently careless to be guilty of just such a piece of neglect. * * * * *

We are all well and hope to continue so. We are living tolerably well. Dinner has just been brought to us. Tongue, Rice and Peas. Coffee and sugar
for breakfast and at night.

Yours of the 22nd inst. was received this morning, and I trust that the Yankees will allow me sufficient time to answer it. They have been comparatively quiet during the day, only a little shelling going on on the right of our Division – a few shells fall from time to time along the right of our Brigade, but as I have a hill affording tolerable protection between me and that portion of our line, I treated the demonstration with stoical indifference. We are still in the same position as when I last wrote you, and as far as I can see, any change is about as undecided as the end of the war, though it all may be altered in moment. Yesterday there was some brisk work along the lines. They enemy assaulted Cheatham's and Stevenson's positions and were handsomely repulsed.
Our Division was right in between the two and escaped any regular assault, but we caught a few stray shells and had an attempt made to drive in the skirmishers of our Brigade, which was very easily defeated. We were moved up to a position in advance of the main line, and spent the day in fortifying our position. I went out a little in advance of our line and got a splendid view of the enemy's line for a length of about two miles. I could see two lines of breastworks, besides those of their skirmish line, on a very commanding range of hills. One line on top of the hills; the front line a little lower down and in advance of the other. The firing of several batteries of artillery (not in my direction however), the innumerable white "dog" tents, and the flying colors, the flashing of bright arms, and the dashing about of mounted officers made it a very bright striking scene, one however, in which "Distance lends enchantment to
the view." I was out to find the position on which they were erecting a battery and the influence the fire from the battery would have on our lines, and having discovered it, the enemy's pickets discovered me, and fired two or three shots at me, so I thought "prudence the better part of valor" and changed my base. I took two more observations from other points, and having located the position of the enemy's battery, I retired. I did not care about exposing myself unnecessarily,as I went out voluntarily for my own gratification, and not under orders. I was nicely caught and my curiosity punished on the afternoon of the 22nd. There was a very good position, but a very exposed one on the right of our line from which I thought I could have a good view of the fight. I expected the advance to be on our left, and did not expect them to come near the right of our Brigade,
so I asked the General to let me go to the right to see the fun. He agreed and I went. But just at the time I got there, up came two of our lines of battle, and
drew a tremendous fire of artillery upon the point. I concluded I had no business there, my curiosity was fully satisfied, and I saw more of the fight than I bargained for, so I rejoined the Genl., whom however I found in not much safer a place. I am very brave as long as there is no danger of very little, but when it rains rifle balls, and thunders artillery I don't feel very comfortable.

I hear that in addition to the attack on Cheatham's and Stevenson's line there were attacks on Cleburne and Walker's position, all of which were
repulsed. I can answer for the first two as I got both accounts from staff officers of those Divisions, but the last two I can't answer for, as I have seen no one that
saw the fight. I never believe in these times one fifth that I hear and only half of what I see, and I repeat very little that I hear. * * *
