The Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant
Part 5.

CHAPTER LXI
14/19

His artillery was all landed on that day, the 14th.

Again Curtis's brigade of Ame's division had the lead.

By noon they had carried an unfinished work less than a half mile from the fort, and turned it so as to face the other way.
Terry now saw Porter and arranged for an assault on the following day.
The two commanders arranged their signals so that they could communicate with each other from time to time as they might have occasion.

The time agreed upon for the assault was the middle of the afternoon, and Ames who commanded the assaulting column moved at 3.30.
