Barrier writes that the previous day, at about ten o'clock, enemy forces at Plymouth surrendered. "We captured (2,300) twenty three humdred prisoners with several hundred horses and about twenty pieces of artillery." Barrier knows only the losses in his own regiment: 100 wounded, 20 killed. He lists the killed and wounded in his old company (Co. H) by name on the second and third pages of the letter. "Plymouth was strongly fortified," he writes, "and required a desperate assault to carry the works. General Robert Hoke, who organized the attack on Plymouth, said, according to Barrier, that "the Eighth Regiment made the grandest charge that he ever witnessed."
