ten o'clock
Then we formed and marched , part of the time at the double , out into a cotton-field . In front of us a few hundred yards off , was a line of forest trees , and under the trees were tents , that I guess some of our other men were driven out of that morning . Here we were at once under a hot fire and lost a lot of men . We went into action about half-past nine or ten o'clock in the forenoon , and two regiments of us stood the enemy off along that line until about noon . Then they rushed us , and such of us as could went away from there . Those that did n't are most of them there yet . I stayed , because of a shot through my leg which splintered the bone .
