The men were encouraged by their officers to stand firm and meet the attack, and all promised well. We had in all, about two hundred and fifty guns, while the Indians were variously estimated at from four to five hundred. I fixed the number at not over three hun dred and fifty. Their advance upon the sloping prairie, in the bright sunlight, was a very fine spectacle, and, to such inex perienced soldiers as we all were, intensely exciting. When within about one mile and a half of us, the mass be...gan to expand like a fan, and increase in the velocity of its approach, and continued this movement until within about double rifle shot, when it had cov ered our entire front Then the savages uttered a ter rific yell, and came down upon us like the wind. I had stationed myself at a point in the rear, where com munication could be had with me easily, and awaited the first discharge with great anxiety, as it seemed to me that to yield was certain destruction, as the enemy would rush into the town and drive all before them.
