Valor and marching in General Green's brigade on the campaign
In General Green's brigade the Colorado and California volunteers and the eighteenth regulars drove the Stan iards back in panic. The troops slept in swamps and ditches amid tropical rains, arose at 4, marched two miles through mud to entrenched positions, carrying two days' rations and 150 cartridges. The American entrenchments stretched along the beach and Manila road, with General Green on the left and General MacArthur overseeing the Pasig road and adjacent defenses. Reserves and battalions held the Pawig road as the action opened and continued along the lines toward the city.
