First Sharp Shooters
Pandemonium would be a place of rest in comparison to
the unceasing roar of that artillery, the shrieking and bursting of so many shells, the* yells of the rebels, the rattle of the musketry, and the final cheering of our men as the rebel lines wavered, broke, and finally went back in disorder. Four times subsequently during the day did they attempt to retake this position, but were each time sent back in disorder. It was in one of these assaults that the rebel General A. P. Hill lost his life,. while seeking in person to lead his men up to the works.
