Civil War-U.S.

Twenty-First Regiment Infantry

About fifteen minutes after 7 o'clock, the enemy advanced to the attack across the cotton field on Sill's front. This column was opened upon by Bush's battery, of Sill's brigade, which had a direct fire on its front, and by Hescocks and Houghtaling's batteries, which had an oblique fire on its front from a commanding position near the center of my line; the effect of this fire upon the advancing column was terrible.
