Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
It was now about 5. 30 P. M., the enemy crowding the forces back who were engaged upon our right, that we found ourselves, together with the remnants of the 6th Michigan and 63d Pennsylvania Volunteers, isolated from our forces upon either flank, that it was deemed proper by the senior officers present of the different regiments to withdraw to the rear/and being the senior officer present upon the ground, I gave the order to fall back slowly from the field, which had now become hopeless for us to attempt to hold for the night owing to a want of ammunition, which was done in good order, returning to camp about 9P. M.
