A interesting story about the 15th Louisiana regiment at 2nd Manassas.

The Confederates had captured a battery but had no horses to take the battery back to Confederate lines. About 50 Union prisoners were "hitched like horses and with the 15th La behind them at charge bayonets, a great laugh and cheer came from all Confederates that saw it."

I read that and had to laugh.
