American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
General Pope in his report, says of Porter's corps, in which the 16th was serving:
" The enemy's heavy reinforcements having reached him on Friday afternoon and night, he began to mass on his right for the purpose of crushing our left, and occupying the road to Centerville in our rear. His heaviest assault was made about five o'clock in the afternoon, when, after overwhelming Fitz John Porter and driving his forces back on the center and left, mass after mass of his forces was pushed against our left.
