Title "I, Philip Kearney, an old soldier, : enter my solemn protest against this order for retreat. We ought, instead of retreating, to follow up the enemy, and take Richmond. And, in full view of all the responsibility of such a declaration, I say to you all, such an order can only be prompted by cowardice or treason."

Notes After the Battle of Malvern Hill in July 1862, General McClellan withdrew his troops back to the James River and ceased to threaten Richmond; Kearny was highly critical of the retreat. This broadside may have been issued during the presidential campaign of 1864.
