Description
I went over the
breastworks
with the
54th
Va
Regt
thinking
that the other
regiments
would
advance
in order, but they, it seems, did not
receive
the order. The
54th
moved
forward
bravely
&
we
drove
the
enemy
in our front back across an open
field
-
but were
annoyed
by a fire upon our
flank
.
Unsupported
right or left we could not
advance
across the open
field
under a
murderous
fire from a largely
superior
force
. We
held
our own for
awhile
. I
called
upon the men as
Virginians
to keep
step
with the
Alabamians
on our right. One
brave
fellow
jumped
out into the
field
&
falling
upon his
knees
by the side of a small
tree
lowered
his
gun
to fire when he was
struck
by a
ball
-
he
drew
down his
gun
but moved not. I was
close
upon him
&
trying to
encourage
the men
-
who were
leaving
me by
squads
-
when I was
shot
down
-
the
ball
entering
one side
&
passing
out the other entirely through.
