Civil War
Third Regiment Infantry
After remaining in this position nearly fifteen minutes, I received an order from Lieutenant Freeman of General Barry's staff, directing me to move the regiment to the front and support battery C, 5th U. S. Artillery, which was at that time hotly engaged with the enemy. Upon arriving at the battery I formed my line of battle in its rear, my right resting upon a road running at right angles with my line. I then directed the men to lie down, where they remained nearly an hour. An attempt being then made by the enemy to capture the battery, I moved the regiment nearly ten rods in front of it when it ceased firing.
