Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
I wish to accord great credit to Lieutenant Colonel Stevens for services rendered in getting a portion of the 3d and 5th regiments well off the ground alter our retreat was made difficult. The men of these regiments were unwilling to quit the ground they had won, and it was not until they had fired the last cartridge and all they could obtain from the boxes of the wounded and killed that they were willing to fall back; being accustomed to woods life, they came into their old camp in order and without losing any men as prisoners.
