Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Another company of infantry was sent out with orders to hold the position as long as possible, as the enemy, if they advanced by this road, would come directly upon the depot and prevent the transfer of trains expected from Huntsville from the Charleston and Memphis to the Nashville road.
