Civil War-U.S.
Twenty-First Regiment Infantry
The 21st regiment being in the front, of course was not allowed fires or tents, and indeed we found no use for them for a brisk musketry fire was kept up during the whole night. Early on Wednesday, the 31st, the battle opened with renewed vigor. The rebels had received large reinforcements during the night, and at daybreak rushed upon us with a vigor admirable even in rebels. A part of our division was at first repulsed; not, however, without making the rebels feel considerable Yankee powder and Yankee lead.
