American Civil War
Fourteenth Regiment Infantry
Company G, being on the left, was enveloped and swept back by the Ohioans. Witherspoon, infuriated at this unfortunate mishap, flung himself against the rebel charging line, which had taken advantage of the ' break, ' and a hand to hand encounter followed. Corporal Pat Sands, who, it will be remembered, was outlawed for breaking a man's nose while on veteran furlough in Detroit, singled out his man, and both raising their pieces, fired, and though within ten feet of each other, missed their mark.
