An odd incident from the memoir of Lt. John Worsham of the 21st Virginia Infantry — during the Battle of Saunders Field in May 1864, two opposing soldiers found themselves in a gully and agreed to a fistfight to decide which had captured the other:
Fist and skull fight!
Then they decided that they would go into the road and have a regular fist and skull fight, the best man to have the other as his prisoner.
