Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
In a report made by Captain Randolph immediately following the engagement at Malvern Hill, he says:
"The enemy commenced the attack about 2 P. M., and at4 o'clock the action became general. The regiment held its ground against fearful odds until its ammunition was expended, when it fell back, contesting every foot of the ground until relieved by the 2d New Jersey. At evening the action closed, and we again held our first line. Our loss was heavy in both officers and men.
