‘ [470] fired; only Pelham, with his Napoleon, and soon afterwards a Blakely, nearer the railroad.’

Every report of the battle confirms this statement. It is, therefore, very plain that Sergeant Pleasants's gallant detachment must have served one of the other guns which are particularized by Channing Price, and that the honor which has for so long a time been ascribed to Pelham and his Napoleon, cannot yet be given to another.

H. B. McClellan. Lexington, Ky.. November 18th, 1884.
