Civil War Infantry
Twenty Third Infantry
The color staff is shot in two, the color sergeant severely wounded, but before the colors fell to the ground they were grasped by a color-bearer and bravely carried forward erect and defiant.
On the 17th the pursuit of the enemy commenced, and during the first three days of the inarch the rain fell in torrents, the mud being fully six inches deep, which with the swollen streams rendered progress extremely difficult and tedious. The pursuit was continued until Columbia was reached, where a halt was made and the movement ended.
