[Caddo Militia]

Col. Solomon Williams gave the command to our regiment "Eight oblique," and as soon as we had cleared the 10th Virginia Regiment, turning in his saddle shouted: "Forward; draw sabre; charge." Our regiment raised the yell as it went by our stationary and retiring companions and the scene was immediately changed. The Federals were the fleers and the Confederates the pursuers.
