American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
This almost unparalleled struggle was heroically ended by a gallant charge of the Union troops which swept the rebels from the hill, and Round Top was saved.
From the "American Conflict" is taken the following:
" Sickle's new position was commanded by the rebel batteries posted on Seminary ridge in his front scarcely half a mile distant, while magnificent lines of battle, a mile and a half long swept up to his front and flanks, crushing him back with heavy loss, and struggling desperately to seize Round Top at his left.
