the shot and shell of the enemy's guns. The other companies were engaged as skirmishers to the front and right.
"July 4th. At Monterey, when the attack was made on the enemy's train, this regiment dismounted and deployed as skirmishers; fought the enemy, who were advantageously posted in the woods on either side of the road, and supported by two guns. Here, again, the enemy was driven with great loss on their part and Blight on ours.
