Harry saw this famous charge, and during a pause of the Invincibles he watched it.

The Georgians, although the cannon and rifles were now turned upon them, marched in perfect order, trampling down the yellow wheat which stood thick and tall before them.

The sun glittered on their long lines of bayonets.

Many men fell, but the ranks closed up and marched unflinchingly on.

Then, as they came near their foe, they fired their own rifles and rushed forward.
The men in blue were taken in the flank at the same time by Jubal Early, and two more brigades also rushed upon them.
