SPANGLER'S SPRING

Night of July 2

"It seams Captain Selfridge of Company H, had taken some of his men's

canteens and gone on ahead to Spangler's Spring to fill them, when he

discovered "Johnnies" also there filling their canteens. He backed out

with the best grace he could command, and reported it to the Colonel

...A skirmish line...found the enemy as started and saved many lives.
