The only door of escape, the mouth of the ravine, was being closed by the enemy's cavalry when the welcome sound of Washington's battery was heard, and in a moment the well-directed shot of our batteries began to explode in the midst of the cavalry. Panting and breathless, those of our men who were left emerged from the slaughter pen and were reformed by Colonel Bissell.
The supreme moment of the battle had arrived. Cut down by our shot and shell, their lines broken by the unerring fire of our ...riflemen, the Mexicans streamed back over the plain, pursued under the shadow of the moun- tains, and the battle was over.
That night the Mexican army fled southward, leaving its wounded upon the field. The Mexican nuns ministered to Americans and Mexicans alike. It was the conduct of these noble women that inspired the poet Whittier to write a beautiful poem, "The Angels of Buena Vista. " " 'Speak and tell us, our Ximena, looking northward far away, O'er the camp of the invaders, o'er the Mexican array, Who is losing?
