American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The charges of the cavalry, a sight I had never before witnessed, was truly inspiriting, and the triumphant strains of the bands as squadron after squadron hurled the enemy in his flight up the hills and towards the Gap gave us a feeling of regret that we, too, were not mounted and could not join in the chase. As fast as the tired condition of my men would permit, we proceeded to Upperville and took position, under General Pleasanton's directions, in | support of the artillery until 6 P. M., when we were relieved by Colonel Tilton, commanding 1st brigade.
