Major J. J. Bartlett, commanding the 12th New York Infantry: “ Without coming to a halt, we were ordered to charge the enemy by a road leading to the valley beneath us, where they were in numbers strongly positioned in and about a large stone house, with a battery of six mounted howitzers commanding the approach.  The men, though greatly fatigued and exhausted, gallantly attacked and drove the enemy from the house, who retired in disorder behind their battery, leaving a large number of killed and wounded on the field.” -- Bartlett’s battle report, in War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, series I, volume 2, pages 388-389
