Company A
The members of Company A fought here form behind a makeshift barricade of pack saddles, hardtack boxes, sides of bacon, dead mules and horses, and anything else htat might possibly turn a bullet. The remains of one soldier were discovered in June 1958, where the marble marker now stands. Many horses and mules were also killed in this end of the saucer-shaped depression.
"The surviving (mules and) horses were arranged in a semi-circle with their saddles and bridles on, the wounded being in the valley, between the horses..."
Pvt. Francis J. Kennedy, I Company
