Battle of Santa Ana
The sun rose clear and bright on this smiling Sunday morning (Feb. 3rd) and after we had lined up in the street, the Major ordered us down the road toward Block House No. 11. Just in front was Concorda Ridge on which was placed two guns of the 6th Artillery. Just before reaching the bridge, the first battalion under Major Figgins deployed to the right and waded the stream a few hundred yards above. The second battalion consisting of Co.’s B, C & G formed into columns of two and charged over the bridge at a double quick, past the Swedish Consulate and were halted a few moments by Brigadier Gen. Chad King. Here we were placed in Company Front and advanced to the left of the road, winding around some other buildings, then lined up and extended in skirmish line with Co. B on the right, Co. C in the center and Co. G on the left and now the charge begins.
