American Civil War
Fourteenth Regiment Infantry
Advancing upon the crest of the hill, the enemy opened upon us with canister and shell. The fight was fierce, terrible, and obstinate, when the Ohio regiments on our left were broken, and fled a short distance to the rear, exposing our flank to a galling fire. The major begged, prayed, expostulated, cursed the Ohioans to hold their ground, but in vain. Their officers bravely struggled against the surging tide; when the colonel, seeing the major's condition, sent Kim two more companies, K and F, who steadied his wavering left, and gave him time to reform.
