Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The enemy broke up the guns of the dead on the first line of battle while they occupied it. A lieutenant whom we captured informed me that our fire was very destructive, and that their loss in wounded must largely exceed ours. On the 1st instant my regiment was exposed to a scattering fire all day, but was not actually engaged. At night we were ordered to the extreme front to protect the 6th Ohio battery, and lay on our arms all night. On the 2d inst., while supporting our battery, my regiment was exposed to a terrible fire from the artillery of the enemy, the number of guns playing upon us at one time being, as stated by Captain Bradley, eighteen.
