In severe battles, such as Antietsm,
fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and the many
bloody encounters between the Wilderness
and Petersburg, it can fairly be estimated
that the infantry fired, when closely en-
gagged, an average of forty shots each an
hour There were men who fired ninety
and perhaps n hundred shots in the course
of two hours hard struggle. OF course,
the muskets became heated with such rapid
firing, and fouled though the fouling was
more often the result of iniudicious ram
ming than Of the heat of the musket barrel.
The writer has often seen infsntrymen in
battle with guns SO foul that they were
Obliged after getting the bullet about half

But in a sharp contest there we're usually
enough of abandoned muskets scattered
about, belonging 10 dead or wounded, to
permit OF throwing the fouled weapons
aside. There were timid men who became
so excited under fire as to keep on loa ling
their muskets without firing them Mus
