The pickets of the First Brigade were on the right, and those of the Second Brigade (with the exception of the ' hay picket'), on the left. The ' field-officer of the day,' commanding the pickets of each brigade, received his charge from the divisional authorities, and accordingly it was as likely as not that the officer commanding the pickets of, say, the First Brigade might be one belonging to a regi- ment of the Second Brigade. Thus on the eve of Inker- man the pickets of the First Brigade were commanded by Major Thornton Grant of the 49th, and, on the day of Tnkonuan, by Colonel Carpenter of the 41st. NOTE VI.
