American Civil War
Fourteenth Regiment Infantry
"Pat then resorted to the weapon that 'never missed fire, ' planted a fierce blow of his ' bunch of fives' on the rebel's smeller, felled him to the earth, and made him prisoner. Higgins and Witherspoon were out of ammunition, and fixing bayonets, nobly held their ground until they were relieved by Companies D and B, Captain Meyers and Lieutenant Davis commanding. In this struggle we captured over fifty of the rebels, and drove the rebel gunners from their battery. One company (A, Captain Donahue) only remained to the Major as a support, and now the whole line advanced again in as fine order as if on dress parade.
