American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Lieutenant Cook, Company A, liberated the unwounded horse and sent him to the rear by Private John Neview, Company A, and shot the wounded one. Lieutenant Cook had just finished liberating the horse and was standing by the gun when a squad of cavalry rode up, also four or five cavalry officers, and all rode away again before Lieutenant Cook left the gun. I am thus explicit because I understand the capture of the gun is claimed by the cavalry, who were certainly half a mile in the rear of the line of skirmishers and over a quarter of a mile in rear of the regiment.
