The Daily Dispatch: January 22, 1863., [Electronic resource], Hindman 's address to his troops before the battle of Cane hill , Arkansas (search)
Hindman's address to his troops before the battle of Cane hill, Arkansas
--The following address of General Hindman will be found interesting:
Headq'rs 1st Corts, Traks-MississippiArmy, in the field, Dec. 4. 1863.
Soldiers.: From the commencement to the end of the battle bear constantly in mind what I now impress upon you:
1.
Never fire because your comrades do, nor because the enemy does, nor because you happen to see the enemy, nor for the sake of firing rapidly.
Always wait until you are certainly within the range of your guns, then single out your man, take deliberate aim, as low down as the knee, and fire
2.
When occasion offers, be certain to pick off the enemy's officers, especially the mounted ones, and to kill his artillery horses.
3. Don't shout except when you charge the enemy — as a general thing keep silent, that orders may be heard.
Obey the orders of your officers, but pay no attention to idle rumors, on the word of unauthorized persons.
