You would see your comrades lying between the lines, asking you take him out, but you would have to leave him to die or become a prisoner. ∞ -
Then you would hear some poor friend or foe crying for water, or for "God's sake" to kill him. ∞
-
You could see 1 with his head shot off, others cut in two, 1 with his brain oozing out, 1 with his leg off, others shot thru the heart. ∞
-
This day none will forget, that participated in the fight. Truly awful how fast our boys fell by our sides to cannon and musket balls. ∞
-
The enemy is decisively repulsed in every attack he has made upon us, & I think will scarcely try a performance again. ∞ -
The dear brave, unfortunate Army of the Potomac has redeemed its reputation & covered itself with glory in today's work ∞
-
The orders have come in to retreat. It is feared Meade will press for a victory on July 4th. We head to the Potomac. ∞ -
There were 12 sharpshooters in our company and now John Cochran and myself are the only ones that are left. ∞

I know that our company went in the fight with 60 men. When we left Culp's Hill there were 16 of us that answered to the roll call. ∞

At the commencement of this fight our Brigade was the strongest in our division, but she is not now. ∞

Capt. Ed. Stitt, of Charlotte, one of the General's aides, volunteered, and he took us out of the exposed position. ∞

Though the enemy resisted some time, they finally retreated from the hill and abandoned the seminary. The Federal troops did not chase them. ∞ -

Our regiment was in a very exposed position at one time to-day, and our General Daniels ordered a courier of his to bring us from the hill. ∞
-
My gun became so hot that the ramrod would not come out, so I shot it at the Yankees. I wonder if it hit a Yankee; if so, I pity him. ∞

We charged the enemy several times, but running down and up the hill was impossible, and every time we came back leaving comrades behind. ∞
-
A great relief seems to rest on the minds of everyone; a sense that the worst is over-Lee has done his worst and failed ∞ -
Gen. Meade's troops were placed in order, and charged down the hill and into the town. ∞

Col. Bennett wounded. Lieut. Connell, of Co. G., killed. ∞
