"We fought with our guns until the rebs put their hands on (them). The bullets flew thick as hailstones... It is a mericle(sic) that we were not all killed." - Private David Brett, 9th Massachusetts Battery (The 9th Massachusetts battery lost 80 out of 88 horses here, some of which can be seen in the photo).
