No Picture Josh Average	#1 by Josh at Mar 3, 1973 at 5:25 AM EST
	i believe its talking about a part of the battle when the union line was trying to hold off against wave after wave of confederates. they kept them back but they started to run out of ammo. so the colonel or someone told them to put on attach their bayonets and hold the line, which they were able to do

	The second song in the "Gettysburg Trilogy." Conveys the battle of Gettysburg through the eyes of a soldier.
