Greble (search for this): article 7
mplete one, and no soldier wishes to mince the matter, for the officers are to blame for the incompetent manner in which the whole affair was conducted. Our loss has been severe, and it is an insult to tell us that we have been repulsed with 100 killed and wounded. We have suffered too much from the incompetency of our officers, and do not wish to be insulted by lies of the press in reference to our want of courage. We stood a murderous fire for three hours, and were driven back by an enemy we could not see, but who killed and wounded about three hundred of our men. It was then time for us to retreat, and if that retreat was effected in a disorderly manner, it was because our officers were incompetent to perform their duties. Lieut. Greble and his regulars behaved gallantly, but the fire of the rebels was too well directed to make any impression. One thing is certain — their pieces must have been served by good men, for, though few in number, they were fired with great rapidity.
