The Daily Dispatch: May 16, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
The battle yesterday lasted all day and late into last night. Our men, after a temporary repose in front of Johnson's Division, successfully resisted every onset of the enemy, who repeatedly assaulted our lines with troops massed in, as some say, as many as ten columns deep. Our boys stood nobly to their work, piling the enemy's dead thickly before our breastworks. The lowest estimate of the enemy's loss in the battle yesterday is 20,000. These figures are corroborated by a Yankee Colonel, wounded, and in our hands. The Yankee General Stevenson was killed on the 10th. Our losses yesterday in killed and wounded are estimated at 2,000. Among the casualties on our side yesterday were the following: Gen. Gordon, slightly wounded; Colonel Baker, of the 16th Miss., killed; Lieut. Col. Felter, of the same regiment, killed; Col. Harding, of the 19th Miss., killed; Lieut. Col. Neimer, of the --Va., killed. There was continuous fighting for ten hours yesterday
