All the credit and honor of this battle is due
to the tenth Indiana, ninth Ohio, fourth Ken
trcky, and second Minnesota. For they did
all the fighting, as it were, single handed, with
the exception OF what support they received
from the artillery.
What were the East Tennesseans doing
during all this engagement, with their boosted
bravery? The first regiment l know but
little about, except that it marched towards
the edge of the woods in which the firing was
going on, and disappeared from sight. As a
regiment they did not fire gun, but Lieuten-
ant Colonel Speers, who is whole team and
horse TO let, some way got in ahead OF his
men, and where the fighting was he shot a
few times with ais revolver and turned round
to see where his men were, when he perceived

so until the firing was ncar!y all over, when
we were doube-quicked to the edge OF the
woods, and halted again. until the firing re-

What lucky thing that Zocoffer was
bold enough to attack our force had lie not
done so, no battle would have been fought
here for long time And this victory can
not be credited to the skill of a brigadier gen

position was entirely a chance position, and

fought the battle and won it, The tenth Indi-
