...the enemy opened all his batteries, & poured in a constant stream of 24 pound balls & 10 inch bomb shells- the balls generally going through the front pickets above our heads & lodging in the traverse bank - the shells falling & bursting, part of them inside the fort, & the others outside- We soon had a few men killed & wounded & some mangled in a shocking manner, which was very revolting to my feelings at first - but I soon became accustomed to it. - Colonel Alexander Bourne, Ohio Militia
