to waver, we leaped the fence, raised a yell, and pushed the scattered fugitives over ground strewn with their own fallen. New lines of reinforcements were met in the same manner….[We] had no reinforcements [but] chivalry [was] displayed on this
occasion, while our little regiment loaded itself with laurels, [which] challenges admiration beyond everything I have ever witnessed. I have never seen it equaled before! I never expect to see it again.” Scott = $ 475. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
