Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
In executing this movement it was necessary to traverse nearly , the entire field of battle. Notwithstanding the utter disorder and demoralization prevailing in this portion of the army, the brigade steadily pursued the way through this mass of defeat and confusion and formed in line of battle in the immediate front of the enemy and soon became hotly engaged; the battery supporting the 13th opened a rapid fire, but was soon ordered to fall back in consequence of the other regiments of the brigade passing to the rear, but soon again made a stand, opening its guns on the enemy then advancing rapidly in force.
