American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The ridge scarcely afforded us any shelter, except by lying down. Soon after dark the firing on both sides ceased for the night and all was silence, except the groans and moans of the wounded and dying. During the night we sent in our wounded, but the dead were left as they lay, we having no means of burying them then. Orders were received during the night that we must hold this position until 10 A. M. next day, when the 9th army corps, under General Will-cox, would make a general attack, when we would be either retired or instructed to go in. '
