21st Georgia Infantry
Capt. Thomas C. Glover

“The fence being reached, the work of death commenced at short range. From this fence we poured volleys into the enemy for 30 or 40 minutes, when orders were given to fix bayonets and charge. The Federals held their lines until we were so close that the blazes from their guns seemed to pass through our ranks. Then they fled and the day was ours but at what a cost!”
-Pvts. B. F. Jones and Charles D. Camp.
