Bloody Angle remembered in battle at Spotsylvania
A veteran recounts the fighting at the Bloody Angle during the Spotsylvania Court House engagement. He details McGowan's Brigade and Harris's Mississippi Brigade, the ferocity of the assault, the heavy casualties, the improvised defense inside the inner works, and the surrender negotiations, with references to Gen. Gordon and Confederate and Federal reports. The speaker emphasizes the heroism of private soldiers and the near-desperate endurance of the line.
