� Battle of Pebbles farm [Peble's Farm] 101 We then moved into the field and up to the house but did not find any rebs. We then moved across the field and then an other piece of woods and to the edge of another field, where we found thair infantry picket line in the field near a house in rifle forts with breastworks behind them in a fact which commanded the field. We then got ready to charge their works and the word came, to foward the line across the field and drive in thair pickets. The other came rining out in loud tones, Attension, Batalion. Foward, Double-quick. March. and so we went about twenty rods when it was discover-ed that the old 20 ME was in the field along without support on the left and Holt. Lay down. untill the line conn-ects on the left. Sip, sip, his. spot. ling. came the lead, in the dust an every side for a few moments, then the word came Attention, Foward, Double quick March. and off we went again with the enemy pouring on thair lead and I ran as fast as ever they new how.
