"...most of the prisoners threw away their revolvers when they retreated; haven't been lucky to get a revolver... got nice Harper's Ferry musket... don't think I can carry it... the Rangers have knives as large as cleavers, they throw them at the enemy. Richmond Blues noted for skill in throwing knives... don't think Texas Rangers are better than pirates if you see the weapons they intend to use you would be of same opinion."

Letter from member of 23rd Mass. Volunteers to brother back home, between Feb. 1862 - Apr. 1863.

(Don't know which battle or exactly when letter was written. )
