Remarkable conduct of Augusta Volunteers in Florida engagement
The report praises the Augusta Volunteers for disciplined, well-timed fire and composure in action. It notes cavalry restraint in swamps, harsh conditions on the march toward Tampa Bay, and heavy hardships including short rations, heat, poor water, and sick soldiers. The narrative covers leaving the Ga Battalion at a pond site, potential depots, and expected return to Fort Drane with discharge looming.
