Secessionville Battery Fight Saves Position at Dawn
The Charleston area report details Lamar's battery on James Island repelling a dawn assault by units including the 79th New York Highlanders and Michigan regiments. Col Lamar is wounded, Lieut Col Wagner assumes command, and reinforced Confederate artillery and infantry ward off a larger Federal force. The action ends with a Confederate victory, though costly, as officers and soldiers fight to hold the defensible high ground near Secessionville.
