Here's the text of the orders portion of the Dahlgren documents. As usual Cap'n Crunch is lying.

We will try and secure the bridge to the city, (one mile below Belle Isle,) and release the prisoners at the same time. If we do not succeed they must then dash down, and we will try and carry the bridge from each side. When necessary, the men must be filed through the woods and along the river bank. The bridges once secured, and the prisoners loose and over the river, the bridges will be secured and the city destroyed. The men must keep together and well in hand, and once in the city it must be destroyed and Jeff. Davis and Cabinet killed.

Hey, you're not permitted to post anything that proves that Capitan_Refugio, overplaying his hand as usual, has posted a manifestly and palpably untrue statement.

Capitan will pull the thread if you keep that up.

That's been quoted, and it is not an "order." It appears to be Dahlgren's personal plan.
