"Six times did the enemy, notwithstanding the havoc caused by our batteries,
press on with great determination to within 100 yards of the foot of the hill, but here encountering
the deadly fire of our infantry, his columns were broken and fled in confusion to the town.
...the last [assault] occurred shortly before dark. This effort met the fate of those that preceded
it, and, when night closed in, the shattered masses of the enemy had disappeared in the town, leaving
the field covered with dead and wounded."

-- General Robert E. Lee, CSA
