Civil War
Seventh Regiment Infantry
The line on our left gave way, and our flank was almost turned, but the enemy's
line was fast melting away under the scathing fire of our men, who remained unflinchingly at their posts, and they soon retired in utter confusion, leaving a large number of dead and wounded. They also left in front of us three stands of colors, which were picked up by other regiments who followed them up A large number of prisoners fell into our hands, and were immediately sent to the rear, among them one colonel slightly wounded in one of his fingers and several minor officers. This ended the fight for the day, and the men lay down supperless about 10 o'clock to obtain what rest they could.
