Our Army in Line North east of Richmond Mechansville
Special dispatch from Washington May 30 reports Union forces in line about thirteen miles northeast of Richmond and five miles southwest of the Pamunkey. Telegraphs describe marches, pontoon crossings, and fortifications near Hanover and Mechanicsville with Lee reportedly concentrating to defend Richmond. Casualties few, but contraband crowds, logistics, and spy rumors fill the day.
