"I went running thru the briars and bushes to listen for balls. I knew it was my duty to go, if it was to poke my head in the mouth of a cannon. On getting into the opening I saw that the Yanks had given way, but there lay our men dying and dead."

-Sergeant Franklin Augustus O’Neil, 2nd Mississippi Infantry
