and with a yell that could not be equaled, The lead came so quick that no troops could live before it. Our troops--some of them--
gained the works. But not in sufficient numbers to hold them, and were finally force to fall back with heavy loss; after this charge
we retired to our works; our line this evening is at the same place it was this morning. - 73rd Illinois Regimental History
For about twenty minutes it was “hot times” The Yankees came gallantly and some reached the top of the works, but only to come
over as prisoners while others fell almost at the muzzles of our guns, Many took refuge behind trees but were picked off. Nine were
killed behind one tree. - Private James L. W. Blair 1st Tennessee Infantry
