American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
On the following morning the regiment moved to near Tolopotomy Creek. On the 30th it again moved forward. During the afternoon, the army having become engaged, the regiment was ordered into position on the left of the line. Though exposed in an open field to a raking fire, the men stood their ground with great pertinacity, protecting themselves by throwing up earthworks with their hands, bayonets, and tin plates.
