Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The fierceness of this combat, close proximity of the opposing forces, and the deadliness of fire is shown in the killed and wounded of the 13 th, which was over one-third of its entire strength, and this in a fire which did not exceed 30 minutes, the exact loss of the regiment being 35 per cent.
In Captain Bradley's report, made after the battle, in mentioning his movements on the 31st he says:
I retired my battery and took a position five hundred yards in rear, and again opened upon the enemy with case and canister, who were advancing in force.
