Synopsis
Excerpt from Major-General Magruder's Report of His Operations on the Peninsula, and of the Battles of Savage Station and Malvern Hill, Near Richmond, 1862
Keeping, then, only small bodies of troops at Harwood's and Young's Mills, and at Ship Point, I distributed my remaining forces along the Warwick line, embracing a front from Yorktown to Minor's farm of twelve miles, and from the latter place to Mulberry Island Point of one and a half miles. I was compelled to place in. Gloucester Point, Yorktown and Mulberry Island, fixed garrisons, amounting to six thousand men - my whole force being eleven thousand so that it will be seen that the balance of the line, embracing a length of thirteen miles, was defended by about five thousand men.
