All of us were loath to go into action. In front of us we could hear the murmurs of in- fantry, but it was not sufficiently light to see them. We stood leaning against the cool guns, or resting easily on the ponderous wheels, and gazed intently into the darkness in the direction THE BA TTLE OF COLD HARBOR. 1 29 of the Confederate earthworks. How slowly dawn came! Indistinctly we saw moving figures. Some on foot rearward bound, cow- ards hunting for safety ; others on horseback riding to and fro... near where we supposed the battle-lines to be ; then orderlies and servants came in from out the darkness leading horses, and we knew that the regimental and brigade commanders were going into action on foot. The darkness faded slowly, one by one the stars went out, and then the Confederate pickets opened fire briskly; then we could see the Con- federate earthworks, about six hundred yards ahead of us— could just see them and no more. They were apparently deserted, not a man was to be seen behind them ; but it was still faint gray hght.
