The Daily Dispatch: August 24, 1864., [Electronic resource], The late campaign on the North side of the James. (search)
avy skirmishing and an extremely unpleasant shelling from land batteries, gunboats, &c. At one time during the day it became necessary to move one of our guns some distance "by hand" and in the very teeth of the enemy; This was done under a terrible musketry fire, during which privates M. H. Gardner and William M. Mann fell, both painfully wounded. August 17th--All quiet to-day. August 18th--Our troops on the left made a reconnaissance in force, the which amounted to finding the enemy still in force and strongly entrenched. --Shelling and skirmishing passed up and down the lines, but none of our company were hurt. August 19th and 20th.--Our skirmishers have become quite amicable with the enemy's sharpshooters, and everything is quiet. Sunday, August 21st.--The enemy have all returned to the south side after having accomplished — what ?--the capture of four iron howitzers and the loss of fully one thousand men for each gun in killed, wounded and missing.
