Union Line Almost Breaks:
Soldiers Caught Between Enemies and Officers:
During the fighting on Hoosier Knob, some Union soldiers began to panic and run. They found themselves facing the guns of their own officers.
"A few men from both the Kentucky and Indiana ... took to flight and rushed down the path... Cols. Coburn and Wolford, pistol in hand braced themselves before the fugitives when they saw them flying, and threatening to shoot the first who attempted to pass soon restored order."
