The Daily Dispatch: April 25, 1862., [Electronic resource], From the South. (search)
ppeal relates the following instance of bravery: Among the most daring and heroic exploits performed at the battle of Shiloh, is that narrated of our friend Chris. Steinkhul, of Capt. McDonald's company, long and familiarly known to this community as the keeper of the bar at the Worsham House. In a single charge of Col. Forrest's regiment on Tuesday, after Monday's fight, he caused six of the enemy to bite the dust, besides inflicting serious wounds upon others. He first brought his Maynard rifle to bear with effect, then drawing his six shooter and charging up in the very face of the enemy, he made every shot tell with fatal effect. After this he drew his sabre, and dashing into their very midst he cut and slashed until the enemy surrendered or beat a hasty retreat. These facts were first narrated to us by Chris. himself, and were afterwards testified to by Captain McDonald, Mr. Barbour, and other members of his company, who witnessed, admired, and applauded the deed.-
