Across q Burning Bridge for Reconnois-
sance.

Editor National Tribune / wish to tell
of an incident at Dingle Mills, S. c., April
8. 1865. relative to Henry S. Finkenbiner,
most successful trip across q long trestle
bridge to ascertain the position of the
enemy.
us every day from April 5 to April 8, begin
ming at Georgetown, >. Z. On arriving at
Dingle Mills at about / p. m. on the 9Th,
we had driven them before us and across
this stream. 1t being swift and deep, it
became necessary to make reconnolS-
sance of the situation before running into
a possible trap. There was no other cross
ing except few miles to the right.
While this survey was going on to aScer-
tain the situation of the enemy TO either
right or left Henry 5. FInkenblner, Jacob
James of Co. ID, and Jacob BrobSt, of Co.
Ii, 1OIth Ohio volunteered to cross this
long dixie and bridge, which had been set
on fire by the enemy, to locate, II possible,
the enemyS position.
They got safely across and SO near the
enemy'S battery, which was hid from their
view, that they went within Is PAGES of
their guns. The brave boys drew up
almost in their faces and fred "a parting
volley at the enemy, while we on the
opposite side watched with fear that they
were surely gone. Quicker than 1 can
write it. the enemy opened with grape and
canister, thick and fast but fortunately
our boys were well across and lower than
the rebels aim. But a minie-ball brought
down Jacob BrObSt while upon this burn
ing structure. Finkcnbiner and James,
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1898-04-28

assisted by Warren Umstead, OF Co. A,
carried BrObst back to the ambulance.
While this accommodating was going on,
the 157th n. Y, with two colored regiments,
went about three miles to the right and
made a success at crossing this stream.
Our usual mode of thanking was reSOrted to
as the signal was given. Col. Cooper,
commanding the 10th, moved across this
long dixie and mill bridge and intercepted
the brigade which had previously gone
around To the right. There we captured
three brass field-pieceS and some prisoners.
After this we went direct to Sumterville;
there we found plenty of tobacco and
secessonism. We remained at Sumter
vile until the 18th, when we again took up
our march to Manchester Station. We
crossed "a long trestie bridge, about three
miles in length the rear burning it as the
rebels came up.
At Singleton S plantation we reiOined the
remainder OF the command that had pre-
ceded us. At dress parade the following
day, April II, 1865, in General Orders was
read
In addition we make honorable
mention of three privatcS OF this command:
Henry 5. Finkenbiner, Jacob James, Co.
ID, and Jacob Brobst, Co. A, 10th Ohio,
for the part sustained by them in action
on the 9th inst. These men were on the
advanced skirmish-line, and while within
direct range and close fire Of the enemy'S
artillery crossed the bridge on the mill race
To ascertain the enemyS position. The
danger incurred and daring evinced by this
conduct are such reflect the highest
military credit upon themselves and their
regiment. One Of them, Jacob Brobst, of
Co. A, was wounded, and has since lost
his leg; he could not have suffered more
gloriously. The Colonel commanding bri-
gade returns his thanks To these men He
is sure their heroism will be a matter OF
pride and an object of emulation with his
entire command.
This was signed: "By order OF p. p.

Assistant Adiutant General"

And planted it over Atlanta with pride;

Back from the fields where their com
