Lieutenant Colonel Thomas F. Wildes, commanding the 116th Ohio Infantry: “Thence we went, sweeping down their works like a western cyclone, every man for himself, firing whenever he saw a rebel, and always yelling and cheering to the extent of his ability.” -- Wildes’ regimental history Record of the One Hundred and Sixteenth Ohio Infantry Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion, as quoted in Voices of the Civil War: Shenandoah 1864, page 119
