Drove the Yankees from the start and kept them going as fast as we could follow until dark. Major Beckham and Capt. Breathed and I were with my Howitzer which was the first piece of Artillery fired. The fight began about half past five. The first shot the Yankee Artillery fired was a spherical case: one of the bullets struck me on the arm. It was however, entirely spent. Three of our pieces and one of McGregor&#8217;s were the only ones of the Horse Artillery engaged. I wrote last night, but don&#8217;t know whether you got it. Don&#8217;t look to hear from me until the fighting is over, for there are no mails. It is all mere chance as to getting a letter to you. Out of our three pieces we only lost one man. He was killed. I write by moonlight on a limber chest and on Yankee paper. Our men in the highest possible spirits. Everything is bright.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>(Note: picture is of an unidentified Confederate soldier.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 2, 1863 &#8220;We have had a glorious fight this afternoon.
