Civil War Infantry
Twenty Third Infantry
a party of guerrillas, numbering about 200, opened upon the train from across the river with two field pieces, throwing shell. Several shells struck the locomotive, disabling it, and several passed through the cars in which the guards were, striking the rocks beyond and bursting, throwing fragments of shell back into the cars. I disposed my men behind such shelter as was at hand and returned the fire, they replying with cannon and small arms.
