JULY 3, 1863

    THE 11TH MISSISSIPPI INFANTRY REGIMENT,
    WITH ITS RANKS GROWING THINNER AT EVERY
    STEP, ADVANCED WITH THE COLORS TO THE STONE
    WALL NEAR BRIAN BARN.

    THE REGIMENT WAS HERE "SUBJECTED TO A
    MOST GALLING FIRE OF MUSKETRY AND ARTILLERY
    THAT SO REDUCED THE ALREADY THINNED RANKS
    THAT ANY FURTHER EFFORT TO CARRY THE POSITION  
    WAS HOPELESS, AND THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT
    BUT TO RETIRE."

      REPORT OF BRIG. GEN. JOSEPH R. DAVIS
