The beginning of the end had come.
Here is where Captain John F.Wheless was wounded, and three others, whose names I have forgotten.

The battle now opened in earnest, and from one end of the line to the other seemed to be a solid sheet of blazing smoke and fire.

Our regiment crossed a stream, being preceded by Wharton's Texas Rangers, and we were ordered to attack at once with vigor.

Here General Maney's horse was shot.

From this moment the battle was a mortal struggle.
