Description
15
miles
from
Bentonville
[NC]
Mch
23rd
‘65
Fought
the
enemy
about
4
miles
from
Bentonville
…
Before
sundown
the
firing
became
terrific
,
both
artillery
&
small
arms
.
We
learned
from
prisoners
that the
17th
corps
had been
brought
up
,
having
been
double-quicked
four
miles
.
Our
men
still
held
their
own
,
&
but for the
breaking
of
our
line
by
rushing
the
men
forward
precipilately
we
might
have
gained
a
decisive
victory
. It
is
a
fault
ever
to
suffer
a
line
of
battle
to be
broken
in the
hour
of
victory
. In
consequence
of it on this
occasion
we
failed
to
reap
the
full
fruits
of
our
success
.
[Declared
a
Union
victory
,
Battle
of
Bentonville
resulted
in
more
than
3,000
Confederate
casualties]
