Civil War
TENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The soldiers of the 10th advanced coolly and steadily over the spurs and through the ravines until our colors were flying defiantly almost in the face of the enemy. Halting just under the crest of one of these spurs of the mountain, I ordered the men to lie down, fire and load at will. The fire of the enemy was most galling and murderous. In consequence of his elevated position upon our right and left our lying down afforded very little protection. Under this deadly enfilading fire the regiment lay for nearly thirty minutes.
