American Civil War
TWENTIETH REGIMENT INFANTRY
This affair was considered one of the notable minor engagements of the day. The 20th, comparatively without supports, retreat cut off by a stream, broad,
deep, and rapid, without entrenchments, repulse the charge of a large brigade, drive them with the bayonet, maintain a vigorous and sharp fight* with an entire division, withdraw in good order, save their only piece of artillery, bring off their wounded, and recross the Cumberland under fire.
In a report made to the Adjutant General of the State, Colonel B. M. Cutcheon.
