Civil War American
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The 13th pursued them entirely off the ground, over an open space into the woods fully half a mile from the place of the fright. The rebels fired as they retreated, but were so closely pursued they had no opportunity to form, and the 13th took over fifty prisoners besides recapturing the two guns belonging to Bradley's battery. As the regiment, every man on the full run, approached the guns, several men sprang forward to be the first to reach them, but Sergeant Julius Lillie outstripped all competitors, and as he reached them slapped his hand on one of the guns.
