 Furthermore, the July 2 attack on ECH was done in fading daylight and ended in darkness, no doubt adding to the horror for both sides. In my estimation, it was the first and only decent ground for defense the 153rd had in its 9-month enlistment.

Doc C,

If you remember where the football field is at the G-burg Middle School, the concession stand on the visitor's side is supposedly the area where Col. Isaac Avery was wounded in the neck, riding on horseback, and where he wrote a note to his second-in-command: "Major: Tell my father I died with my face to the enemy."

A compelling quote.
