Now, reader, this was one of our tight places.

The First Tennessee Regiment was always ordered to hold tight places, which we always did.

We were about the last troops that passed over.
Now, gentle reader, that is all I know of the battle of Resacca.

We had repulsed every charge, had crossed the bridge with every wagon, and cannon, and everything, and had nothing lost or captured.

It beat anything that has ever been recorded in history.
