American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The men followed simultaneously and mounted the works at different points, the colors of some half dozen regiments floating triumphantly where a few moments before rebel colors had flaunted their traitorous folds to the breeze. It is no wonder that there should be different claimants for the honor of being the first to plant the Stars and Stripes on the works! All behaved magnificently, and all are deserving of life and honor. Nearly one hundred prisoners were captured, and one cannon. The enemy got off his remaining guns, but not all his horses.
