American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Our arms proving successful, we were not called upon that day, as we would had our batteries been attacked.
" On the 19th our division took the advance and pushed the enemy to the banks of the Potomac, but he made good his retreat just below Shepardstown. In fact they had consummated this the night previous. We are still here with the rest of the division, expecting orders daily to advance.
' I will further add that on the 20th our pickets here crossed the river and reported no signs of the enemy.
