"...and finally at a mad gallop in which horses and men were wedged together..."
His own words
Later he described the experience:
“All I know is that we started at a trot, then at a canter, and finally at a mad gallop in which horses and men were wedged together. It was hell. Cannon belched forth shot and shell. and I saw many a comrade fall.”
