American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
It was here that Captain Judd M. Mott fell, severely if not mortally wounded, gallantly leading his company, cheering his men forward by word and deed, and doing his whole duty. As soon as our advance in line of battle was discovered by the enemy they attempted to save their battery, but were only partially successful, as they left one piece, a Blakesly rifled gun, with two horses attached, capsized, one horse wounded, the other not. Lieutenant Powers, Company A, with Sergeant Keene, were first at the gun, but passed on, pressing the enemy's skirmishers in great confusion.
