The Kenville Hangers, under Lieutenant Gorman, were sent at once to their support In a few moments, the surrounding bluffs were covered with Indians, both on horse and foot, trying to circumvent the camp. The Third Regiment followed in support of the Rangers, who now pushed on a mile in advance, and were nearly surrounded, and barely effected a retreat The artillery kept the opposite shore of the lake, clear. Two companies of the Sixth had a skirmish on the left, and the Seventh Regiment, under Lieut CoL Marshall, made a gallant charge into a ravine on the right, and drove the enemy from shelter there. This charge is pronounced by all, as one of the most valiant and successful ever made. And when we reflect that it was by an undisciplined regiment, not two months from the quiet of home life, and most of them in their first fight, with those who had drank in the war-spirit with their earliest breath, we marvel that the brave CoL Marshall, with his young heroes, had not all been left in ghastly death, instead of driving the foe and leading his men out of that ravine, gloriously victorious. Other-Day, too, proved himself on this occasion true as steel, and of great courage. He pushed forward of the lines, rushed in amongst the Indians, exposing himself to the fire of both sides, and several times being mistaken for an enemy, was fired at by our men. Finally, after he had shot three Indians, he was surrounded and led triumphantly into camp with two captured ponies, which more than squared up his account for the loss of his own horse. During the fight, Little Crow was seen in the distance, riding a black horse, with a spy glass in his hand, Books, , Dakota-war-whoop~~Harriet-E-Bishop, , , , , , , , , , General Books LLC<
