Major Rufus R. Dawes of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry, Gibbon’s Brigade: “We could not see [the 2nd Wisconsin] nor the 19th Indiana, owing to the intervening woods, but we heard the awful crash of musketry, and we knew there was serious work ahead.  Captain J. D. Wood, of Gibbon’s staff, came galloping down the turnpike with an order for the sixth to move forwared into action.” -- Dawes’ memoirs, Service with the Sixth Wisconsin Volunteers, edited by Alan Nolan, as quoted in Voices of the Civil War: Second Manassas, page 99
