After resting a moment the artillery, of which we had three guns, was sent forward and soon engaged the enemy. We were drawn up in line of battle % of a mile from the redoubt and could see and hear the fight commence. . . . After firing some fifteen minutes and killing quite a num ber, we retreated. . . . After a few minutes rest we again formed right under fire from their cannon and moved back to cur original position. The men were worn out. Scores of them sank down unable to carry a gun a ste...p farther. Several cases of sunstroke took place. "About one o clock we got a few minutes rest and started back home. It seemed to mo that I could not put one foot before the other. But to walk 10 miles was what I did not imagine I could do. It was hot and dusty and I had my heavy overcoat to carry and one of the men s heavy overcoats, besides my sword, a, haversack and canteen. Slowly we came on, feeling as if every mile was the very last, until seven o clock when I got into my tent in health and with life.
