American Civil War
Twenty-Fifth Regiment Infantry
The conflict was fierce and bloody. At times the enemy occupied one side of the fallen timber while my men held the other in almost a hand to hand fight. The enemy's force consisted of the greater part of Morgan's division. My force was a fraction of my regiment, consisting of two hundred men, who fought gallantly. I cannot say too much in their praise.
Our loss was six killed and twenty-three wounded.
After the battle I received, under a flag of truce, a despatch asking permission to bury their dead, which request I granted, proposing to deliver them in front of our lines.
