Introduction : the horrors of that day -- At liberty to tender my services -- All the devils are here -- An earnest protest against this injustice -- There is quite a stir in our regiment -- I did not think to look in the rear -- We have no doubt succeeded in deceiving Hooker -- A perfect triumphal march -- He that soweth of the flesh -- We are brought in hearing of artillery -- The Yankees crossed fired on us a good while -- For a few minutes the fighting was terrible -- I told him it was then too late -- We have an awful night of it -- The glory it had is now passed away.
