The Daily Dispatch: June 17, 1861., [Electronic resource], The fight at Aquia Creek. (search)
The fight at Aquia Creek. The following supplementary report of the fight at Aquia, from Captain Lynch, shows a most commendable desire to do justice and recognize merit among all who shared with him the battle and the victory: Naval Battery, Aquia Creek. June 9, 1861. Editor Fredericksburg News--Sir: -- sly oni report of our recent contests with the enemy was rendered as brief as possible — embracing only the names of those who were legitimately engaged. But, as there were time peremptorily, within the redoubt, for next to damaging the enemy it was my duty to preserve the lives of those around me. These are all the individual cases I can call to mind. The demeanor of the men at the battery is so worthy of commendation, that it would be invidious to particularize, even if they were not mentioned in my official report. Being short of ammunition, our guns were worked discreetly, but now we are prepared to warm them thoroughly. Very respectfully, W. F. Lynch.
