Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
While in the act of forming his regiment he was joined by Colonel Harker, who, on expressing a desire that the position should be held until he could send reinforcements, left for that purpose. The enemy in front seeming disposed to advance, Colonel Shoemaker determined on attacking, and at once ordered a charge with a view to regaining his lost ground. His officers and men seemed confident of success and went in with a yell; as they emerged from the thicket they poured a volley into the Confederate ranks, evidently taking them by surprise.
