They did everything as well as ninety days troops could. Col. Reyes led the men with good judge ment, saved many lives and did not detract from the efficiency Of his com nand. Our fight, although not brilliant was respectable. We kept together, never got into a stampede and after the fight marched seventeen miles in the worst kind of a rain storm with out food We returned to our old camp, recovered all the public property marched to Fort Corcoran in good order, with all our arms and camp equipage."
