Civil War Battery
Battery B
The Captain ordered all out, and in a few minutes we started in the direction of the firing. We had not gone more than a mile when we came into position and opened fire. The enemy's line of battle could be seen very distinctly. We were soon ordered to retire to allow the infantry to advance, but after a few minutes we moved forward again, bearing to the right. This was on a clear open field.
We held this position about an hour and a half, and then retired again, and took another position, beside a log house. Here was our hottest place; the fire was terrific. After this we could not get any support, the infantry were retiring so fast.
