American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Vincent's brigade with Hazlett's battery, with the 100th Ohio and 40th New York supporting, rushed to the peak of the hill. The rugged, rocky face of the eminence rendered the advance of artillery almost impracticable, but by an almost superhuman effort the cannon were dragged up by hand and hurriedly placed in battery behind breastworks of stones thrown together on the spur of the moment, affording but a feeble and unreliable defense.
