The men of the 20th Massachusetts Infantry were among the troops sent across the Rappahannock River and take the Confederate-held town of Fredericksburg, VA. As they pushed into town, the men of the Harvard Regiment soon found themselves engaged in another military rarity of the time: street fighting. After a bloody day of unprecedented fighting, the shattered town was in Union hands."
