Report of Lieutenant James Garrity, commanding W. H. Ketchum's Battery.

CAMP AT CAVE CITY, KY., ---- --, 1972.

SIR: I have the honor to report the part taken by Ketchum's battery in the engagement of yesterday:

We took possession on an elevation in front of the enemy's works about 1,000 yards distant about 5 a.m. and immediately opened fire, which we kept up until the two howitzers under my immediate command were ordered to a position on the right and in front of the fort; but finding it was out of range I was ordered forward and took position within point-blank range of the enemy's principal work, and kept up a steady and continuous fire on the fort and breastworks until about 9 o'clock, at which time the firing ceased on both sides.
