OR XL P1 (Broadfoot Sup.) #13: Report of Brigadier General Edward Ferrero, commanding 4/IX/AotP, May 4-November 1, 18641
SOPO Editor’s Note: The Broadfoot Supplement to the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies is rare and not sold in single volumes. As a courtesy to researchers, I’m making available summaries of the reports contained in this set relevant to the Siege of Petersburg.
Summary: In a disappointingly brief report of less than a page, Brigadier General Edward Ferrero, commanding Fourth Division, Ninth Corps, Army of the Potomac, mentions only that no guns of his division were captured from May 4 to November 1. He goes on to list a very short list of captured flags, both lost and gained, by his division. No other information is contained within this report. He mentions a list of casualties appended to the report, but this list does not appear here.
