[192]
Some of the 24th and 3d seemed to be coming with us, and it may be others.
Not a man could I see in the enemy's works, but on account of the small timber and the lay of the ground, I could not see very far along the line, either right or left, of the position we occupied.
There were, as I thought at the time I viewed the situation, about three hundred men in the party with me, or maybe less.
Adjutant H. V. Harris, of the regimental staff, was there dismounted.
Captain Fry, Assistant Adjutant-General of General Kemper, was also there on foot, with a courier, who was a long-legged, big-footed fellow, whom we called ‘Big Foot Walker,’ also afoot.
Captain R. W. Douthat, of Company F, I also noticed, and there were some other regimental officers whom I cannot now recall.
