Excerpt from Documents and Facts, Relative to Military Events, During the Late War

The position of the enemy was on the t0p of the bank, fronting the Lake, and presenting a front of several hun dred yards. Our position was in approaching them in broad day, under a fire that shivered our crowded boats, and covered the Lake around us with foam. It was in the face of such an enemy, that we struck the shore, and form ed in order of battle; it was under their fire, supported by their batteries, that we ascended the steep bank of twenty feet elevation, up which our cannon were to be before they could support us. And it was not, til was accomplished, that the advantages of our position could be compared with those of the enemy.
