First Sharp Shooters
ditches that could be leaped and ditches wide and deep, parallels and cross sections, abatis and entanglements of every description, —the exhaustion of engineering skill. An entanglement of digging, such as never before was seen, covered the greater part of the distance. For the breadth of more than a mile the country is all dug over. Every manner of earthwork has been thrown up by either army. Corrections of the lines, alterations and changes, have kept the armies busy for a year. It is impossible to describe this vast network of entrenchments from the hasty glance I had while riding over them.
