-----------------------------
The 8th Iowa Infantry fought for 10 hours in the infamous "Hornet's Nest" on the first day of battle repelling attack after attack. It was the last to leave the advanced line. This gave General Buell time to reinforce the rear lines and snatch victory from defeat. The 8th Iowa, entirely cut off, fought until they could fight no longer, out of ammunition, threw down their arms only to see many of their number shot down after they had surrendered.
