U. S. Civil War
Twenty Seventh Regiment Infantry
The rebel column, marching down the hill over open ground, was so shattered by our fire that it broke to one side, and the other fell back, rallied, and finally swayed off to the left of the crater into their rifle pits, and advanced again under cover when most of our troops had left the work. In this last affair this division lost some of its bravest men, who stayed fighting it out to the last.
Eight regiments were engaged, two regiments held in reserve, and three, that failed through the cowardice of the 46th New York volunteers
