The enemy opened their fire at a very long distance, which exposed to my Artillery both the position and range of their guns.

277 페이지 - The opposition of the enemy was such as might have been expected from troops who had everything at stake, and who had long vaunted of being irresistible. The ample and extended line, from their great superiority of numbers, far outflanked ours ; but this was counteracted by the flank movements of our cavalry.
