Vicksburg (The Civil War Battle Series, Book #5)

Synopsis

[From the back cover] Cory crashed hard to the ground, the impact of his landing knocking all the air out of his lungs. Gasping for breath, he rolled over and saw another blue-clad trooper lunging toward him. This one brandished a rifle with a bayonet attached to the barrel, and he clearly intended to bury that length of sharp steel in Cory's body. Cory remembered that he had emptied his right hand gun. In fact, the empty revolver was still clutched in that hand. He had hung on to it somehow when he fell. His left hand streaked to the other holstered Colt, and the thought flickered through his brain that he hoped the gun hadn't fallen out of the holster when he tumbled off his horse. The Colt was still there. Cory's fingers closed around the walnut grips. He palmed it smoothly out of the holster and tipped up the barrel as he drew back the hammer. The Yankee cried out in horror as he saw the muzzle of the Colt lining up on him, but it was too late for him to stop his charge. The pistol boomed, and the soldier jerked as a slug drove into his chest. He stumbled and tried to throw the rifle and bayonet at Cory as he died. Cory flung himself to the side, away from the bayonet. Cory kept rolling and came up on his feet. His chest was numb from the blow that had felled him, but his arms and his legs worked. So did his trigger finger. He fired three times into the clump of artillerymen around the cannon. One man spun off his feet, while another staggered and clutched his side. The others broke and ran.
