Civil War Artillery

First Regiment Light Artillery

" Fell as he was in act and mind,
He left no bolder heart behind;
Then give him,
for a soldier meet,
A soldier's cloak for a winding sheet. "
Mr. Greeley, in noticing this great struggle on the 19th, says: "It was now 9 A. M., and while Baird and Brannan were making the required movements, Palmer's division of Crittenden's corps came up and took position on Baird's right. By 10 A. M. Croxton's brigade of Brannan's division had become engaged, driving back Forrest's cavalry, when Ector's and Wilson's infantry brigades were sent in by Walker to Forrest's support.
