Following the Wilderness Battle and the repulse of the Union Forces (May 5 - 7, 1864) General Grant pushed ahead on the Confederates' right to Spotsylvania Courthouse, Virginia, where he engaged Confederate General Robert E. Lee's army from May 8 - 19, with the bloodiest battle occurring on May 12. In that battle thirty-six soldiers earned Medals of Honor including Private William Noyes. In an attack on the enemy, Private Noyes bravely stood on top of the breastworks in full view of the enemy and only a few yards from their lines, and fired repeatedly into their ranks. |
