Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
About 11 o'clock that night the brigade recrossed the river and bivouacked in an open field, on rising ground near the river. On the 30th skirmishing continued, the enemy again occupying the bank of the river from which they had been driven the night previous. The brigade did not change its position during that day. On the morning of the 31st it again crossed the river, on the right of the army. Heavy canonading and musketry had been heard from early dawn, indicating that a desperate battle was being fought, and information had been passed along the line that it was resulting in disaster to the right wing, which was being driven back in much confusion and with great loss.
