Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
It opened the fight and for an hour was engaged in a duel with a battery belonging to what was known as the Washington artillery, doing it much damage, as afterwards stated by one of its officers, and continued engaging the enemy until darkness put an end to the contest, having during the afternoon repelled five charges, leaving 1,500 rebels in front of its position.
The last position held by it was taken about 3 P. M., with instructions to hold it at all hazards, as it was recognized as the key to the field.
