"Now came our turn. We marched up, fell in line and stormed up Missionary Ridge and put the Confederates between double fire, as we came from behind two defense posts, which were erected, and we took the men and cannon stationed there. There were three cannons at each barricade and six men at each. The remaining took flight, so we had an even exchange. Here many of our men fell and many were wounded. I was wounded by a shell splinter and had to go to the hospital, but returned two weeks later."
