Civil War Broughton's

"... I cannot, however, omit to mention the names of Felix Casteal, corporal, and Private Broughton, Company A, who unintentionally getting outside our picket-lines, and being without arms, came upon two rebel soldiers, fully armed. The rebel soldiers were ordered to deliver up their arms, and, supposing that other soldiers were present, did so, and were marched into camp and delivered up -- to their infinite chagrin, when they found they had surrendered to two unarmed soldiers...."

Respectfully, your obedient servant,
J. S. HURT,
Colonel, Commanding Regiment.
Capt. C. D. Rhodes,
Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, Second Brigade.
