B. H. Shacklefords (search for this): article 1
the fight and displayed the almost coolness and courage. But nothing could exceed the cool determination and fearless daring of the officers and men of the line in the 17th Regiment. The writer could not obtain a list of the killed and wounded. The Captains seemed to be marked by the enemy. Captain Delaney, of the Fairfax Rifles was shot in the shoulder by a musket ball. Captain Prestman was shot in the arm and side by buck-shot. These officers were taken from the field. Captain B. H. Shacklefords of the Warrenton Rifles, was shot in the side by a cannister ball. He bandaged the wound and remained upon the field till the close of the fight. No doubt is entertained that all of them will recover. General Longstreet seemed to be everywhere, regardings of danger, and unconscious of what a conspicuous mark be presented to the enemy. All praise say us, to the regiment of long street brigade, and of the first and seventeenth regiment. Ar Eve-Witfeis, A corr

The Washington Artillery on that day immortalized itself. For coolness and courage, sake of management of the guns, and rapidity and certainly of fire, it could not be excelled. Every man in the 1st and 17th did his whole duty. From position they, with the artillery, bore the brunt of the whole fight. Where every one fought to well, it were invidious to particularize. Col. Moore, of the 1st, was wounded in the arm, and the command devolved on Lt. Col. Fry, who was assisted by Major Skinner.--Col. Corse, Lt. Col. Munford, and Adjutant Humphreys of the 17th, and Major Brent, were off the field in command in different parts of it. All these officers were in the thickest of the fight and displayed the almost coolness and courage. But nothing could exceed the cool determination and fearless daring of the officers and men of the line in the 17th Regiment. The writer could not obtain a list of the killed and wounded.

rtillery are very nearly alike; the credit, therefore, is justly due to that gallant little band, the Thomas Artillery, who, for seven hours, under the range of the enemy's battery, stood bravely by their guns, pouring shot thick and fact, and with good effect, into the enemy's ranks, firing, as I understand, seven hundred and odd shot. Their ammunition being exhausted, they were ordered to retire, which they did in good order, having sustained a loss of two killed--Lieut. Macon and private John B. Dixon; and five wounded--Serg't Massenburg, Corp'ls. Thos. McCurdy and Topp, privates Waller and Davidson; the battery a loss of an ammunition chest, of one caisson, (which was struck by one of the enemy's shells and blown up,) twenty-five horses, killed, wounded and missing. They arrived, after a forced march from Winchester under Gen. Johnston, on the battle-field about eight o'clock Sunday morning, without food for men or horses, and remained near the field of battle the whole day

They were all choice recruits, just suited to join with that worthy little band of gallant heroes. The Grayson Dare-Devils. T
