Civil War

At the capture of Fredericksburg, December 13, while serving in Colonel Hall's brigade, it volunteered to dislodge the rebel sharpshooters who were impeding the construction of the bridges, crossed the Rappahannock for that purpose in small boats, was the first of the Union forces to land on the opposite bank, and with the aid of a Massachusetts regiment (19th) drove the enemy from their hiding places with much slaughter, capturing nearly as many prisoners as they numbered themselves.
