Major Isaac Haldeman of the 124th Pennsylvania Infantry: “We were again ordered to advance, when the right, advancing about 100 yards, received a raking fire from the enemy in the woods, whcih was responded to by repeated volleys from our men, but the fire from our left and the battery of the enemy on the right compelled us again to fall back to the stacks.” -- from Haldeman’s battle report, in War of the Rebellion: Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, series I, volume 19, part 1, page 491
