Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The advance of the enemy being at once checked, they retreated and took shelter behind a fence, lining it thickly with a large force, delivering a continuous line of fire into the 13th. Their fire was returned with so great precision and effect that they were held for a short time, but their line overlapping, the fire of the regiment did not cover, consequently that portion of the enemy's line not covered continued the advance, threatening to turn Shoemaker's right flank, when he retired in good order through a cedar thicket and took a new position.
