We held the ground on which were strewn the corpses of both Blue and Gray, in some places lying side by side. The hot August sun had parched the grass to a crisp, and it was frequently ignited by bursting shells. In this way the clothes of the dead were sometimes burned off, and the bodies par- tially roasted ! Such spectacles made little or no im- pression at the time, and we moved to and fro over the field, scarcely heeding them. About two o'clock we were ordered some distance forward, to fir...e on a battery posted on a low ridge 120 UNDER STONEWALL JACKSON 121 near a piece of woods. By skirting along a body of woods on our left, and screened by it, we came out in full view of this battery and on its right flank. My gun, being in front and the first seen by them, attracted their whole fire; but most of their shells passed over our heads and burst among the guns in our rear and among the trees. None of us was hurt, and in a few minutes all four of our guns were un- limbered and opened on them most vigorously.
