American Civil War
Fourteenth Regiment Infantry
Moving steadily forward with fixed bayonets at 'right shoulder shift, ' first at quick
time, then at double quick, my men without pause or hesitation leaped upon the rebel works, not having up to that moment fired a shot or raised a shout. Upon gaining the works which were filled with the enemy, our colors gallantly planted by Sergeant Steiner, they opened upon them a most deadly fire, upon which Brigadier General Govan surrendered his command and sword to 1st Sergeant Patrick Irwin, who was first inside the works.
