Unfortunately for Williams, General Slocum was late in writing his official report of the battle, and Meade submitted his report for the army without acknowledging the critical contributions that Williams and XII Corps made to the Union defense.
Desværre for Williams var general Slocum langsom til at skrive sin officielle rapport om slaget og Meade afleverede sin rapport for hele hæren uden at anføre noget om det betydningsfulde bidrag, som Williams og XII Korps havde ydet til Unionens forsvar.
