Account of Capture of Patrick Fallon’s Regiment

“The Union outpost at Beech Grove was on the extreme right of the Union lines and a short
distance east of Batchelder’s Creek. Its concealed position, helped by the darkness of the
night and a dense morning fog, not only hid it from the advancing Confederates of Hoke and
Pickett but also prevented communications with other Union troops.

The Union soldiers at Beech Grove were doomed by the poor judgment of their overly cautious
commanding officer. Lt. Leith declined to take any action without hearing first from his
superiors. Despite the desperate pleas of the North Carolinians to be allowed to lead the men
of the outpost to safety along paths that they knew well, Leith would not permit his men to
leave. He instead dispatched a request to New Bern but it never reached its destination, as
the courier was captured by the retreating Confederates under Pickett.

The Confederate general, now aware of the hidden outpost through the captured message,
dispatched 2 regiments of Virginia infantry and 2 sections of artillery to take the Union
position. Despite his boast to fight to the last man, Leith capitulated without a shot being
fired. After raising the white flag, but before negotiations began, Leith warned his men of
the potential consequences of their capture and advised them to escape. Their flight was short
lived, however, and all but a small number were captured by a scouting party from the 30th
Virginia Infantry Regiment”
