Private Eugene Sullivan of the 42nd New York Infantry: “We crossed the Grapevine Bridge to the north side, where the regiment was halted, the other regiments of the brigade continuing the march. Three companies of the regiment--E, K, and I--were detailed to destroy the bridge which had done great service in time of need. . . . It did not take the three sompanies long to destroy the work which had taken the entire regiment days and nights of hard labor to construct.” -- from Sullivan’s article “Bringing Up the Rear” in the National Tribune, January 7, 1904, as quoted in Voices of the Civil War: The Seven Days, page 96
