History of the Eighty-seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, prepared from official records, diaries, and other authentic sources of information . y to capture the wagon trains.The enemy was repulsed. Lieutenant James Tearney, of Com-pany B, was in command of the 87th boys. On the 13th, we were again attacked. It was a brisk skir- — 140 — mish, but we held our position. The next four days we contin-ued to guard the road. On the 18th, we moved two miles to-ward the Army of the Potomac. The next day we started tojoin the regiment, and were again attacked by Ewells forces.At 4 p. m. Colonel Dushane changed front, and charged intoa woods, but was driven back. A second charge was made, andwe were again repulsed. At this instant, General Tyler, withhis heavy artlilery division, came rapidly up to the scene of ac-tion. He asked the 87th boys to form a new line to the rear ofthe artillery. At 11 p. m. we were relieved. In this sharp engagement, the battalion lost one man killedand 8 wounded. Among the wounded were Jacob H. Grove, Samuel Fisherand Jacob Rice, of Company F, and Frederick Witmyer, ofCompany E, veterans of the regiment..

He hadgone back but a short distance, when three shots were heard inquick succession from his Spencer repeating rifle. Presentlythe Indian returned, and when asked what had become of his — 141 — prisoners he answered, I kill them. He was afterward punish-ed for his treachery. Samuel B. Gray, of Company E, had a lively experience incapturing a hog on the way from Belle Plains to Fredericks-burg. He saw a dozen porkers along a stream, and when hegot close enough, he bayonetted one of them. His hogshipresisted the attack, made a vigorous defense, and came nearlyconquering his antagonist.
