Reconnaissance to Charlestown
Thursday, October 16, 1862
The Twentieth Massachusetts left Bolivar Heights at 6:30 this morning on a reconnaissance to Charlestown. As the advance unit the Twentieth led the reconnaissance and pushed a small unit of Confederates from Charleston in the driving rain. Remaining on picket duty for the day, the Twentieth braced for an attack but no additional fighting ensued.1
