Report of Maj. Ezekiel H. Hampton, Twenty-ninth North Carolina Infantry,
Ector's brigade.

HDQRS. TWENTY-NINTH NORTH CAROLINA REGT.,
Tuscumbia, Ala., November 1, 1864.
SIR: My regiment was formed on the left Young's brigade on the 5th of October, at 9 a. m., ready for
the action at Allatoona.

. . . Sergeant John Rich was carrying the colors in front of the regiment crying
"come ahead, boys!" when he was severely wounded and fell. The colors were scarcely to the ground
before they were hoisted by Lieut. E. B. Alexander, commanding Company C. He threw them to the
breeze saying, "come on, my brave boys!" but he did not get more than fifteen paces until he was
killed. Sergeant Parker, of Company F, took up the, colors and again threw them to the breeze, and
carried them to and planted them on the enemy's inner works. Here he was severely wounded in the
face. He then took up the flag, captured a fine horse, and came out with flag, horse, and his first
lieutenant, who was severely wounded in the leg.
