Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A True Story of the Civil War
The enemy presently planted a heavier battery than Cowen's upon a hill on the opposite side of the creek and returned his fire; their first few shells, being fired at too high an elevation, passed over his guns at which they were aimed, ploughing through and exploding among the troops of the Division which lay concealed in the timber. Several were wounded, and the lines were formed for removal to some other position, but it being noticed that the missiles began to fall short of us, we were soon convinced that our situation was unknown to the enemy, and in a few minutes the danger was over.
