Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The rebels opened upon us one of the most terrific showers of shell, canister, and musketry I have ever experienced. My whole line returned the fire and steadily advanced. It was here that our greatest loss occurred, but under all this there was no faltering, no hesitation, and we were soon at the ridge we were ordered to take, they enemy retreating to their rifle-pits and shelter behind a stone wall immediately under their batteries. The ridge scarcely afforded us any shelter except by lying down.
