Brigadier-General Wood says, " In my report of the
battle of Stone's River I especially signalized the
service of Colonel Harker, commanding Third Bri-
gade of my division, and earnestly recommend him
for promotion both as a reward for merit and an
act of simple justice. In the late campaign he has
particularly distinguished himself ; I earnestly rec-
ommend him for immediate promotion to the
rank of brigadier-general." Major-General Crit-
tenden calls "attention to the brilliant conduct"
of Colonel Harker and compliments him highly
for "the skill with which he managed his com-
mand, and more than all, the gallantry with which
he fought." Major-General Thomas speaks of him
as "the brave " Colonel Harker who " most nobly
sustained" Brannan's left.
Brigadier-General Wood speaks of him as com-
mander of the First Brigade of his division and
says that "he bore himself with great gallantry,
and with a little more experience would make an
excellent brigadier and should receive promo-
tion." Major-General Thomas calls him "the
brave Buell," who most nobly sustained Brannan's
left.
Brigadier-General Johnson says, " He behaved with
so much coolness and displayed so much skill and
ability in the management of his brigade that I
hope he may be promoted at once. He first joined
the troops under Rousseau after the first outbreak
of the rebellion, and has participated in all the
battles and skirmishes of his regiment with distin-
guished gallantry." Major-General McCook joins
earnestly and strongly in the recommendation of
Brigadier-General Johnson.
"Always efficient, gallant, and untiring, and fearless
in battle,'' says Major-General Rosecrans, com-
manding, and Major-General McCook also notices
him for "valuable assistance in rallying the troops."
Major-General Rosecrans, commanding, says, "Col-
onel Barnett was in the battle and discharged his
duties with ability and entire satisfaction.'
Major-General Rosecrans, speaking of him and his
command, says, " They have rendered very valua-
ble service in keeping open communications and
watching the movements of the enemy, which de-
serves my warmest thanks."
Major-General Rosecrans commanding, says, "I
must not omit Col. J. P. Sanderson, of the regular
infantry, who, having lately joined us. on those
two days of battle acted as aide-in-camp and car-
ried orders to the hottest portions of the field."
Major-General Granger says "that although com-
manding a brigade not in the battle it had a very
important position protecting the rear of those
who were fighting," and that he " properly and
promptly carried out all orders and instructions.!'
Major-General Thomas speaks of him as having
"kept a large force of the enemy's cavalry, and
with his battery materially aided Turchin's hand-
some charge on the enemy, who had closed on our
left."
Major-General Sheridan speaks of him as having
been twice severely wounded in the action of the
19th, and greatly distinguished himself as com-
mander of the Third Brigade of his division, and
recommends him for promotion, in which Major-
General McCook joins him.
Major-General Palmer commends his conduct as
entirely satisfactory, and Major-General Critten-
den calls attention to his distinguished services.
Major-General Sheridan says that" Colonel Laiboldt,
commanding my Second Brigade, behaved with
conspicuous gallantry in the action of the 20th,"
and recommends him for promotion, in which
Major-General McCook fully unites.
Major-General Negley speaks of his conduct as
highly creditable. Major-General Thomas says
that he, with one of Negley's brigades, bravely
supported Baird's left the morning of Sunday, and
was "struck by the fragment of a shell and dis-
abled in the afternoon."
Brigadier-General Van Cleve speaks of him as
"cool intrepid, and judicious," who has proven
himself on all occasions an able commander, and
has well earned promotion. Major-Gener~ Qrit
tender also commends him highly,CHAP. XLII.]
