American Civil War
Twenty-Fifth Regiment Infantry
I sent a reply to General John Morgan that the Fourth day of July was no day for me to entertain such a proposition. After receiving the reply he opened fire with his artillery and musketry. My force, which occupied the open field, was withdrawn to the woods, where we engaged the enemy with a determination not to be defeated. The battle raged for three and a half hours when the enemy retreated with a loss of over fifty killed and two hundred wounded. Among the killed were Colonel Chenault, Major Brent, another major and five captains and six lieutenants as near as can be estimated.
