U. S. Civil War
Twenty Seventh Regiment Infantry
"May 5th. On the right, fighting commenced with an attack by General Sedgwick, who advanced his line. In the afternoon the enemy advanced to drive him back, during which they made a desperate effort to turn his right. In this extremity he sent a request to General Burnside, who had that day crossed over, to close up and assist him. At this time the attack of the enemy was repulsed, but near nightfall it was renewed with great vigor.
