Major Henry, who commanded on the left, displayed the utmost coolness in handling the men under his charge.

After a terrific cannonade and the repulse of two attacks, Barksdale's whole line was assailed by 20,000 Federals, and after a bloody and determined resistance the enemy, fully twenty to one, got a f
