I laid him down in the trench, and he said, "Well, they have got me at last, but I have killed fifteen of them; time about is fair play, I reckon." But Colonel Field was not killed--only wounded, and one side paralyzed.

Captain Joe P.Lee, Captain Mack Campbell, Lieutenant T.H.Maney, and other officers of the regiment, threw rocks and beat them in their faces with sticks.

The Yankees did the same.

The rocks came in upon us like a perfect hail storm, and the Yankees seemed very obstinate, and in no hurry to get away from our front, and we had to keep up the firing and shooting them down in self-defense.

They seemed to walk up and take death as coolly as if they were automatic or wooden men, and our boys did not shoot for the fun of the thing.
