As an infantryman, you are part of a detail formed this morning of 49 men from Companies A, C, E, and H of the 18th Infantry Regiment, sent to relieve a wood train under attack on Sullivan Hill for the third time in three weeks. On December 6, Col. Carrington and Capt. Fetterman fought a day-long battle in which Lt. Bingham and Sgt. Bowers were killed. On the 19th, Capt. Powell, under orders from Col. Carrington, did not pursue the attackers over Lodge Trail Ridge when relieving the wood train. You are dressed in a great-coat, dark blue blouse, sky blue trousers, Jefferson boots, and a fatigue cap, and you are carrying a slow-firing Springfield muzzle-loader, 40 rounds of ammunition, and a bayonet. Capt. Fetterman, the detail commander, is carrying a saber and revolver, and the NCOs also carry swords. You are excited about the detail but wish you had more training with your rifle.
