Hopeless and Bloody Assault Upon the Flank Of vckstmg in the
Last Days of 1862
BY JOHN A. M'eRreoR, 42D OHIO, CLEVELAND, OHIO.

rear of DeCourcy's Brigade, and near the
margin of the wood. About 8 o'colck in
the evening the 42d Ohio was withdrawn
from the front line and set to work to
build an earthwork around Fosters Bat
terry, to serve as a shield for the gunners
in case we were hard pressed on the NOR
row. The men worked briskly, and by =
o'clock in the morning the earthwork was
finished, and the six PARROTS grinned out
through embrasures neatly revetted and
ready, if need were, for serious siege.
The night was too cold for sleep, and as
the oath Ind. had taken the place of the
i2d Ohio in the front line, there was moth
ing to do but shiver until morning, in that
dreary discomfort that prevades a freless
camp on a Winters night.
AT dawn small fires were kindled, and the
weary men snatched a few moments of
comfort and hasty meal. As soon as
daylight became clear the 10Th Ohio moved
forward, and, finding the enemy in position
just within the margin of the wood,
promptly began the attack. Lanpheres
Battery chimed in Immediately, then the
22d Ky, followed by the 54th Ind. and
before sunrise the firing in our front had
become continuous. The morning was
hazy. the smoke of battle settled thick and
heavy over the swamp. and through this
mist the rising sun shone red and ominous.
The National tribune., 1904-07-21

Until 8 o'clock the firing continued fierce
and incessant. The Union line had adj
vanced only few rods, and seemed to
have met a permanent check. For the last
hour the two opposing lines had stood in
their tracks, neither advancing nor retreat
ing a step. The losses were becoming
serious, and nothing important had been
gained. Preparations were made for a
push forward, to drive the enemy through
the woods and across the first bayou to the
slashed swamp and open fields beyond.
At 8 o'clock the AID Ohio, which had re-
manned at The rear in support of Foster s
Battery, was sent to the front. Two sec
tons OF the PARROT guns were dragged
out of the earthwOrk and sent forward by
hand, without caissOns. 1t was too hot q
place to take horses into. DeCourcy' s
Brigade was quickly deplOyed-the I'D
Ky. on the right, then the 54th Ind, the
42d Ohio next, and the 10th Ohio on the
left The line moved promptly forward,
and a sharp fight ensued at short range,
both sides taking advantage of the heavy
timber and uneven ground to keep as well
as possible under cover. The swampy
valley was cut and scanned with dry
bitches and water courses, which afforded

which was deep and impossible except at
one or two points. swept at short range by
their batteries, and defended by intrenched
infantry.
The work before us was now to pro-
vide means for crossing the bayou-go
over the stream and founder through the
waste of fallen timber beyOnd-cross the
open field at the foot OF the bluff and at
tack the nights. A serious task it proved,
as the record of the next day shows. Dur
ing the night the pOntOon train came up: Il

covered, quite inadequate for the needs Of

clumsy, and ill-provided. One sank as
soon as it was launched Another was
struck by shell and rendered useless, and
when the one bridge that could be made
by our pontoons was .laid it was so shor.
and imperfect that ii was next to impOs-
sible to march the troops across by the
flank without breaking the formation of
companies and divisions. With only these
imperfect means of crossing, Morgan, on
Dec. %, began preparations for the attack.
The day before had been bright and warm,
but the morning of the assault dawned
raw and cloudy. with signs Of rain. The
ground over which the advance was to be
made was that i'm front of the left two
