fog SO dense we could not see 81 yards.
AS We charged the Indians they could
hear the commands of our officers and
always tell where we were and we could
not see them; the first we would know
we would receive a deadly voiley., l
have been in good many hot places
but that beat any l ever saw: Our boys
were in the hottest of the fight. l am

mind and let us raise some troops. The
regulars fought well and charged strong
hold after stronghold.

man 1 ever saw; he walked the lines

took shelter or lodged; it looked like a
miracle that he escaped.
