The Daily Dispatch: October 29, 1864., [Electronic resource], Another Statement of the battle of Strasburg. (search)
n flanked his left, when he called for a few men from this number and formed a skirmish line in front of their advancing column. This he did a second time, until the enemy drove them back to the field, and the remnant that he had rallied were compelled to retreat. The disaster was caused by the lack of troops.--The enemy's line extending some half a mile to the left of ours, we were easily flanked, and compelled to fall back. It is said that ten thousand fresh troops from Winchester joined the enemy in the interval between the two fights. We brought off all our prisoners and many of the wagons in the morning. General Ramseur was severely wounded through the body, and fell in the hands of the enemy. Of officers we lost very few; but this loss falls very heavy upon that division, which had so lately lost their beloved General Rhodes. I cannot now give much account of casualties, as I have been able to learn of but few. I suppose I can do so soon. Asa Tennet.
