Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
"Here we formed in line of battle; the enemy opened upon us an artillery fire, and one of our batteries responded, while our line of skirmishers kept up a brisk fire with small arms. We remained in this position until it became dark, when we fell back a short distance and bivouacked for the night.
" From Rocky Faced Ridge, on the east and left of our position, a number of spurs of the mountain put out, running westerly toward the railroad, which are from 25 to 100 feet in height.
" On the morning of the 25th I received orders to take a position on the left of the 60th Illinois, on the top of one of these spurs, and to conform all my movements to that regiment.
