United States Civil War
FIFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The men received the fire without wavering, and before the enemy had time to reload the right charged upon them with the bayonet, reserving their fire until the concealed foe were started from their cover, and as soon as they were in sight delivered a destructive and effective fire. The enemy broke and ran like sheep from the slaughter, leaving the slashes filled with their dead and wounded. The right continued to load and fire. The rebels made several attempts to re-form their scattered ranks, but on the delivery of our volleys they uniformly broke and ran.
