American Civil War
Fourteenth Regiment Infantry
It was impossible to stay the fire of my men, who swept through the entire line of works, until finding myself unsupported on the left, I halted, Brigadier General Govan several other officers, and a large number of men having been passed to the rear.
"It is due to my officers and men to say that they were the first in, and swept through the works, capturing eight pieces of artillery with caissons well supplied with fixed ammunition, shooting and bayoneting the artillerists at their guns in the act of firing, the ground being literally strewn with small arms.
