''Wheresoever throughout the civilized world the accounts of this great warfare are read, and down to the latest period of time, in the glorious annals of our common country, there will be no brighter page than that which relates The Battles ok Gettys- BURO." Edward Everett at Geltysbiinj, Nov. I9th, 1863. INTRODUCTORY. IT is claimed that in no battle during the war of the Rebellion, was there ever displayed such a bril liant mastery of the arts of war — as was exhibited by both armies on the field of Gettysburg. This gigan- tic struggle was fraught with such mighty results, that the story of those three days in July, 1863, will remain forever vividly depicted upon the pages of history. Much has been written of this great battle. No con- ft flict between the Blue and the Gray, has been more fully described — and yet — every new account finds thousands of eager readers. Every one having access to this vast library is supposed to be familiar with the story of Gettysburg, yet — the average citizen has not the time, nor inclination, to peruse volume after volume in the search for the substance of fact. In the preparation of this book, the Author has had access to the best works on Gettysburg, together with his "Notes," — the accumulation of many years acquired upon the field, from prominent officers and men belong- ing to both armies with whom he has come in contact. He therefore takes pleasure in presenting to the public, this condensed story of "Gettysburg: What they did here" — with the belief that all will find it historically true and interesting. LuTHEK W.

CHAPTER I. Composition, Commanders, Position, and Movements OF THE Armies durinu the month of June, 1863. Soon after the battle of Cliancellorsville in May, 18fi3, was the time that the Confederate authorities deter- mined to have their army invade the north, and by one supreme effort overthrow the Federal Government. The causes which led to this decision were, that the term of many of the Union soldiers was expiring, and the re- mainder were believed to be greatly affected by their late defeat at Cliancellorsville. The Confederate Army under General Robert E. Zee,* had been reorganized into three corps, which were . without doubt the best cqui pped and drilled bodies of men ever itiarsh- aled in this country; and Lee Relieved bis army able to acconiplisli successfully any undertaking. This magnificent army on the 1st of June, 1863, was at Fredericks burg, Virginia, one hundred and fifty-eight miles south of Gettvsburo:. General Robert E.

On the 2nd of June, General Lee commenced the Avith- drawal of his army from Fredericksburg, and by the 8th, General^ Ewell and Longsireet, witli tlieir corps^ arrived at Culpeper, to which locality General -/. F. B. Stuart had already advanced his cavalry. These movements liad been made so quietly that General Hooker was not aware of them ; he was, however, wary and suspicious.

[Note. — The strength of a Confederate Corps or division at the battle of Gettysburg was double that of a Uuiou organization of the same name.] GETTYSBURG: WHAT TlIgY BID HERE. 7 General Hooker, on the 5th of June, ordered a recon- noissance ))y part of the Sixth Corps at "Franklin'g Crossing," below Frederickshurg. On the 8th, General Fleasonton's cavalry^ and two brigades of infantry, were ordered across the Rappahannock, witli instruc- tions to attack the Confederates at Beverly Ford, and ascertain whether any considerable portion of them liad broken camp. On the morning of the 9th, these forces crossed the river and attacked Stuart's cavalry. A ter- rific struggle ensued, in which the Confederates were defeated and 'driven from the field. However, on the arrival of EioelVs infantry from Culpeper, General Plea- SONTON withdrew his forces, having fully accomplished his object, recrossed the river, and reported to General Hooker. These movements, along with others, demon- strated the fact that Lee's forces were moving north beyond the Union right. On the 10th, Ewell's corps advanced beyond the Blue Ridge, passed north through Chester Gap, and marched rapidly up the Shenandoah Valley. Iinboden's command on his left. Jenkins' cavalry, with Bodes' infantry divi- sion, pressed north to Martinsburg. General Stuart's cavalry were directed east of the Blue Ridge, to guard the passes, mask Lee's movements, and delay the advance of Hooker's army. On the 13th, EivelVs two divisions, Early's and Johnson's, arrived in the vicinity of Win- chester. On the 14th, they attacked General Milroy's forces, who were hemmed in. On tlie early morning of the 15th, Milroy attempting to steal his way out, was discovered by the Confederates, but succeeded in break- ing through and retreated in haste. On the 14th, Hill's corps abandoned Fredericksburg, moved north tlirough Chester Gap, and arrived at Shep- herdstown on the 23rd. On the 15th, Longstreet hurried northward, and in his movements covered the mountain gaps. On the 10th, Jenkins, witli two thousand troopers, penetrated into Pennsylvania as far as Chambersburg. 8 (JETTYSBUR(J :, WHAT TIIEY DID HERE.

General llooiajR put the Union ainiy in motion on the 13th of .June, and took the most energetic measures to keep his command hetween the enemy and the National Capital. General Plea&onton's cav- alry encountered Stuart'fi ti'oo])ers on the 17th, at Aldie ; on the 19th, at Middlehurg, and on the 21st, at Up- perville.

On the 23rd, Lee ordered Hill's and Long- street's corps to cross the Potomac, to unite at Hagers- town, and follow EweU's corps up the Cumberland Valley. General Hooker learning that Lee was concentrating his forces north of the river, gave orders for the advance DISMOUNTED CAVALEYMAN.

On the 25th and 26th, the Union army crossed the Potomac at Edwards' Ferry, and by the 28tli were massed between Harper's Ferry and Frederick, On the 2r)th, Early's division {Gordon's brigade) arrived in Gettysburg, meet- ing at this place a small detachment of infantry and cavalry, which were quickly put to flight. The first shots, however, fired on this great battle-field were ex- changed between these forces and White's cavalry, at the west end of Chambersburg street, and the first Union soldier, whose blood baptized this historic field, was that of private G. W. Sandoe, a member of Co. B, an indepemlent cavalry organization from Gettysburg and vicinity. On the 28th, Early's division reached York and Wrightsville. At the latter place Gordon's brigade, attempting to cross the Susquehanna by the bridge to Columbia, Colonel Robert Crane ordered the structure to be fired, and it was entirely consumed. General Hooker well knew that Lee's army outnum- bered his own, and requested of General Halleck per- mission to control the ten thousand men under French at Harper's Fer- ry. This Halleck refused to do, and Hooker^ seeing thatiie was not permitted to ma- nojuver his army, asked to be relieved from its com- mand. His resignation was accepted, and on the morn- ing of the 28th, General Geor(!e G. Meade was ap- pointed to the command. General Meade at once or- dered the Union forces northward, witli the deter- General George G.

He placed his left wing under General Keynolds. and directed it to Emmittsburg/and advanced the right wing to New Windsor. The cavalry take position in front, to the right and left of the infantry. KiLPATRicK in front, Gregg on the right, and Buford on the left. General Stuart having been separated from Lee's infantry in Virginia, set off on his raid around the right of the Union army on the 24tli. He made a wide detour to conceal his object, reached the Potomac on the 27th, in the rear of Hooker, crossed the river near Drainesville, intending to rejoin Lee by marching- through Maryland. On the 29tli he encountered at Westminster a-detach- nient of Union cavalry which were compelled to give way. On the 30th as he marched north with the hope of meeting Early's division, he ran into Kilpatrick's cavalry at Hanover, where a short but spirited struggle took place, in which Stuart was forced to retreat north- ward. This dashing cavalryman in whom Lee placed great confidence, marched his tired troopers all night, and the next day, July 1st, reached Carlisle, only to learn that EivelVs divisions had moved south toward Gettysburg. He demanded the surrender of General W. F. Smith's forces who held Carlisle, threw shell into the town, burned the government barracks, and then moved south, via Mount Holly Gap, arriving on the battle-field the afternoon of July 2nd, having been separated from his chief for seven days. General Lee on the evening of the 28th, at Chambersburg, received the startling intel- ligence that Hooker's army had crossed the Potomac into Maryland. He still believed them to be in Vir- ginia — held in check by Stuart. General Lee on receiv- ing this information determined to concentrate his army, he sent Ewell orders to move back to Carlisle, and to abandon his designs upon Harrisburg. Bodes' and Early's divisions were to join Hill's corps in the vicinity GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERE. 11 of Gettysburg, whilst Johnson's division retraced their steps witli the g,rtillery and trains, as far as Shippens- hiirff, thence to the left to Fayetteville, on the Cham- bersburg Pike. As Ewell fell back he w.as followed by General W. F. Smith's forces as far as Carlisle. On the oOth, Hill's and Ewell's corps were advancing toward Gettysburg. When Heth's division of Hill's corps reached Cashtown on the Chambersburg Pike, Petti- grew's brigade, with several wagons were ordered to Gettysburg to secure clothing and shoes. At about this same time General Buford's cavalry division was approaching Gettysburg on the Emmitts- burg road, and as Pettigreiu's soldiers were about enter- ing the town from the west, Buford came thundering into it from the south, and the Confederates had barely time to fall back to a position on Marsh Creek, where Pettigrew halted and notified Heth that Gettysburg was occupied by the Union forces. General Buford's troopers passed through the town at half past eleven o'clock A. M. Halting west of Seminary Ridge they went into camp, Gamble's brigade south of the railroad covered the approaches from Chambersburg and Hagerstown. Devin's brigade north of the railroad had videttes placed on all the roads north and north- west. The information obtained by General Buford was sent to General Reynolds, who was instructed to occupy Gettysburg. This heroic soldier advanced the First Corps from Emmittsburg to Marsh Creek on the Emmittsburg road, and within five and one-half miles of Gettysburg. General Meade moved forward his right wing to Manchester. On the night of the 30th, Gene- ral Buford rode to Marsh Creek, and held a conference with General Reynolds, and during the night returned to his headquarters in Gettysburg with one of Rey- nolds' stafi", who was to report to his chief on the early morning of July 1st. 12 GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERE.

GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERE, 13 CHAPTER II. The First Day's Battle of Gettysburg, July 1st, 1863. Very early on the morning of Jnly 1st, Hill's corps was advancing on the Chambersbnrg Pike towftrd Get- tysburg. Heth's division: brigades — Davis, Archer and Drockenhrough, joined Pettigreio' s brigade at Marsh Creek. Here the first gun of the battle was fired. Buford's videttes, a detachment of the 8th Illinois, opened fire as the Confederates moved forward to cross the stream. Heth's division advanced quickly and the Union pickets were forced to retire. General Buford at once dis- mounted liis cavalry and posted them in the most ad- vantageous manner along the banks of Willoughby's Run. Gamble's brigade, south of the railroad extend their left to the Hagerstown road. Devix's brigade north, extend their right to the Mummasburg road. Calif's 2nd U. S. Battery was placed across the pike on McPherson's Ridge in support. When the Confede- rates reached Herr's Ridge, General Heth deployed Davis' and Archer's brigades, north and south of the Cham- bersburg Pike. These two brigades were supported by Marye's Virginia battery, which oj)ened upon Calif's horse artillery. Pegram's battalion are soon in position along Herr's ridge, their left resting at the Minni<'-h farm buildings. It was under the cover of Blarye's guns that Davis' and Archer's brigades advanced to attack Buford's cavalrymen. Calif's guns being ably manned fired at first case sliot, then shell, and when the enemy got within three hundred yards, grape and canister. However, the Confederate infantry were soon desperate- ly engaged with Buford's troopers, wlio made so deter- mined and stubborn a resistance that Heth believed his 14 GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERE. men had encountered a strong force of infantry, Calif's gunners being assailed on every side stood bravely by their pieces, and worked them witli terrible eftect, Buford's soldiers fought with carbines which were very effective, and when their ammunition was exhausted, the enemy pressing forward at points reached close quarters, when they used their Colt's revolvers to the best possi- ble advantage. The cavalry made a gallant and glori- ous figftt, and only fell back from the front when relieved by the infantry. At 9 o'clock General Reynolds arrived in Gettysburg, in advai First Corps. After ing several citizens, out the Chambersb the front. This heroic officer in company with Bu- FORD made a hasty examination of the lines, and seeing the desperate struggle the cav- alrymen were en- gaged in, doubted their ability to hold the enemy in check much long- er.

Cut- ler's regiments are advanced to its support, the 14th and 95th New York regiments on the left, the *76th and 147th New York, and the 56th Pennsylvania regiments on the right. As these troops take position on McPher- son's and Oak Ridges, Archer's and Davis' brigades were advancing. Davis struck the right and front of Cut- ler's brigade. The 56th Pennsylvania opened fire, but with the 76th New York was swept back to Seminary Kidge; but the 147th New York failed to retire and were hemmed in by the Confederates. Davis' advance un- covered the right of the 14th Brooklyn and 95th New York regiments on McPherson's Ridge, and Archer's bri- gade more to the south menaced their left, they '^^a* fall back along with Hall's 2nd Maine bat- tery, which withdrew by sections fighting as they retired. At this critical moment General Dou- BLEDAY sent the 6th Wis- consin re gi me n t of Me r e- dith's brigade, to Cut- ler's relief, they gallant- ly charged across tlie fields from near the Sem- inary against Davis' ex- posed flank, and being reinforced by the 14th and 95th New York regi- ments, they checked Davis' advance, liberated the 147th New York from its perilous situation, and drove several hundred of Davis' men into the railroad cutting, wliere Position at 10 o'clock A.

Meredith's ''Iron Brigade" had formed battle line along the west front of Seminary Grove. Tliis brigade had five regiments, viz., 19tli Indiana, 24th Michigan, 2nd, 6th and 7t]i Wisconsin. Jrcher'shrigadc in their advance were driving Gamble's troo})ors through McPherson's Grove. General Dol'bleday sent forward the "Iron Brigade," to secure the Avoods and to hold the same. They advanced quickly, and on reaching Oak Kidge, General Reynolds rode into the grove in their front, to examine the same, — he was instantly killed by a rifle ball. Meredith's brigade then charged bdldly into the grove, enveloped the right flank of Archer's command, and captured General Archer and over one thousand of his men, and drove the remainder west of Willoughby's Run. General Doubleday now assumed command, re-formed and strength- ened the lines. On the arrival of Rowley's divi- sion, brigades — Stone's and Biddle's, the former was placed on the right of Meredith, their right connecting with the left of Cutler's brigade. Biddle's brigade on the left of Meredith, extend- ed their left south to the Hagerstown road. Rob- inson's division, bri- gades — Paul's and Bax- ter's, were placed in re- serve at the Seminary, around which they threw up a line of intrenchments.

In reserve he placed Fender's division: brigades — Thomas', Scales', McGowan's and Lane's, with Pegram's and Mcintosh' s artillery in support along Herr's Ridge. At half past eleven General Howard arrived in Get- tysburg and assumed command of the field, after taking observation from the Fahnestock store building, he at once dispatched messengers to hasten the movements of the Eleventh Corps, and to Generals Slocum and Sickles to advance to Gettysburg. At half past twelve o'clock the Eleventh Corps under General Schurz arrived. Barlow's division: brigades — von Gilsa's and Ames'.

At the same time he sends against Cutler's right, O'iVears and Iver- son's brigades. Doub-leday sent first Baxter's, and then Paul's brigades of Robinson's division, to fill the gap between the right of Cutler and the Eleventh Corps. As Baxter moved to extend the right of Cutler, Bodes sent O'Neal's brigade by the McLean buildings to stop him. O'Neal was rejiulsed and driven back with great loss.

After defeating -O'A^eo?, Baxter took position behind a stone fence and opened upon Iverson's front. Cutler's and Paul's brigades sent showers of leaden death into their right flank, and, assisted by Cooper's and Stewart's guns, the Confederates were driven back, leaving over seven hundred prisoners in the hands of Robinson's soldiers.

The struggle was despe- rate and deadly, each of the brigades of Bodes' and Heth's were defeated by the heroic efforts of the First Corps. In the meantime Early's division of Ewell's Corps, had arrived by the Harrisburg road, and were ordered to attack the right of Sciiurz's Eleventh Corps. General Early, under the fire of Jones' artillery, ad- vanced Gordon's brigade against Barlow's division, who made a desperate resistance. General Barlow was woiiuded and his two brigades were compelled to fall back. On the left, Schiaimelpfennig's division were attacked by Doles' brigade; at this time the bravest go down, and soon the fair fields were strewn with the dead and wounded. Doles charged rapidly against Schurz's left. Gordon and Hays' force back the right. Hoke's and Smith's brigades were penetrating into Get- tysburg from the east. There was but one alternative for the Eleventh Corps, viz., to retreat to Cemetery Hill. Coster's brigade were sent to their assistance, but were of no avail. The Union troops were forced in great disorder into the town, where thousands were cap- tured in the streets. Eivell and Hill now ordered a gen- eral advance against the First Corps.

Meredith's brigade, being- reduced to a handful of men, was compelled to give way. Stone's brigade, on tlieir riglit, stood facing Scales : they soon received a flank fire, and were forced to fall back, fighting as they retired. General Doubleday, seeing his command outflanked; the Eleventh Cor})s in rapid retreat in his rear; ordered the First Corps to tall back to Ceme- tery Hill. The Confederates finding the Union troops withdrawing, rushed after tliem in great numbers, and during the retreat that followed the men became panic- stricken, were separated from their commands, and many were made prisoners in the streets, and on the roads leading back to Cemetery Hill-.

General Sickles was instructed to occupy the ground vacated by Geary — his left to rest on Little Round Top, his right to extend north along Cemetery Ridge. Tlie Second Corps was stationed along the crest of Cemetery Ridge, between the right of Sickles' Third Corps, and Robinson's division of the First Corps atZiegler's Grove. At half past twelve o'clock the line was complete and, as formed, resembled an immense hook: Cemetery Ridge forming the sliank — Cemetery Hill the curve — and Culp's Hill the end of tlie hook. A grand position, fully four miles in length, with the advantage of being easily reinforced at any part by short marches.

The Second Day's Battle of Gettysburg, July 2nd. On the morning of the 2nd, General Sickles believ- ing it desirable to occupy a position in his front, at the Emmittsburg road, Peach Orchard, and Devil's Den — v/hicli if held by the enemy, would make his own ground untenable — assu- med the responsibility of advancing his two divi- sions to a new line. He therefore moved Birney's division southwest, and ordered Humphreys to place his division along the Emmittsburg road. General Birney placed Ward's brigade on the left at the Devil's Den, De Trobriand's brigade in the center, and Graham's brigade on the right at the Peach Orchard. Humphreys joined the left of his division with Gra- ham at the Sherfy buildings on the Emmittsburg road— Brewster's brigade on the left. Burling 's brigade in rear center, and Carr's brigade on the right. The line as formed left a wide gap between Hancock's Second and Sickles' Third Corps, which was filled later in the day by two regiments of Gibbon's division of the Second Corps. At about two o'clock P. M., General Lee instructed his General D. B. Birney, Commanding First Division Third corps. 28 GETTYSBURG: WHAT THEY DID HERE. General A. A.

General Hood ordered Laws' brigade to bear to the right, Robertson' s soldiers followed this movement and fell upon Ward's brigade at the Devil's Den. De Tro- briand opened upon Robertson's left, whicli fire forced the Confederates to retire. Anderson's brigade attacked j'^ He Trobrtand and was re- pulsed.

Kershaw's brigade attacked these troops with spirit and comi)elled them to fall back. At this time Rood's and McLaius' sol- diers advanced in massive columns against Birney's* lines. Ward's brigade was being forced from the Devil's Den; Barnes' and De Trobriand's brigades were compelled to retreat before Kershaio, who advanced with Anderson and Benning. The struggle was of a ter- rible nature, the ranks were frightfully decimated. When all seemed lost^ Caldwell's division, of Hancock's Corps reached the scene of action. The brigades of Cross, Kelly, Zook and Brooke charged gallantly the advancing brigades of Kershaiu and Anderson, who in turn were swept from the Wheatfield. The Union casualties were terrible, in a few minutes Jef- fords, Zook, Cross, Mer- wiN, and h u n d reds as brave as they, were strick- en down upon the bloody soil. General 3IcLcnvs now advanced his last two brigades: Barksdale's and Wofford's, against Sickles' angle at the Peach Orch- ard. General Hill moved forward Wilcox, Perry and Wright's brigades of And- ergon's division, against Humphreys' brigades along the Emmittsburg road. Barksdale's brigade quickly swept the Union forces from their pathway and advanced toward Cemetery Eidge. Wofford's brigade, which followed, bore to the right and attacked Caldwell's and Barnes' brigades.

Lee's plan was to send Stuart's cavalry around the Union right flank, which was to attack the rear in conjunction with Longstreet in front. In this way he helieved he would he able to cut Meade's army in two, and use it up thereafter hy detail. The only forces under Lee not yet engaged, was Pickett's division oi Longstreet's Corps, which had arrived from Chamhersburg the evening of the 2d. General Longstreet was bitterly opposed to Lee's contemplated movement, and had asked permis- sion to attack the Union left flank instead. This Lee refused to permit. The partial success achieved by his forces on the 2d, determined Lee upon one supreme effort, by which he hoped to gain victory. At ten o'clock Long- street was instructed to form for the assault. Colonel Alexander posted his artillery along the Emmittsburg road, from the Roger house on the left, to the Trestle buildings on tlie right. Colonel Walker stationed his batteries along Seminary Ridge, to a point north of the Seminary. This vast line of artillery contained one hundred and fifty heavy guns. In the rear of this mass of iron was formed Lee's storming columns of infantry. Pickett's division were to sustain the prin- cipal charge. They were formed in two lines; ICem- per's and G^arne^^'s brigades in first line, Armisteod's brigade in second line.

General Hill was 46 GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERE. ordered to hold his line on Seminary ixidge, with his remaining brigades, give Longstreet assistance, and avail himself of any success that might be gained. On the Union side, Hancock's Second Corps held Cemetery Ridge. Hays' division on the right, with Robinson'^ division of the First Corps in support. Gibbon's division in the center, Doubleday's division of the First Corps on the left of Gibbon. The Union line extending south was asfoUows: To the left of Doubleday was Caldwell's division, and to the le.^'t of Caldwell, Birney's division of the Third Corj)s, whoso ^eft, connected with the right of the Fifth, whose line extended to the summit of Big Round Top. General Hunt placed seventy-one cannons along the crest^ as many as the nature of the ground permitted. Hazzard's artillery brigade on the right, and McGilvery's brigade on the left. Suddenly, at one o'clock, the artillery which was to prepare the way for Pickett's enlarge, opened fire, and from one hundred and fifty cannon along Longstreet' s and Hill' s front there came such a tempest of missiles on their deadly errand as to cause the bravest to be appalled. In conformity with Hunt's instructions the Union guns remained silent for fifteen minutes, after which they opened with spirit upon the enemy's lines. For nearly two hours the air was filled with screaming shell and whizzing fragments. The ground was ploughed into furrows, and shook under the mighty concussions of firing cannon. Fifteen caissons were exploded along Hunt's line, killing many men and horses. In the midst of this awful duel the infantry lines remained as stationary and immovable as the rocks that sheltered them, the soldiers knowing that what was transpiring was only a preliminary of what was to follow. At half-past two Hunt ordered the firing of his guns to be gradually slackened, in order to allow the cannon to cool, to replace the disabled batteries with new GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERE. 47 ones, and to reserve enough ammunition for the final struggle. The Confederates, believing that their artillery had si- lenced the Union gunS;, advanced their storming columns. As they marched forward swcej)ing through tlie artil- lery into view of the Union forces, a thrill of admiration went through the breast of every soldier gazing upon the magnificent s})ectacle. In close order, with meas- ured s.teps, as though on i)arade, they advanced. Their Getting the batteries Into position. guns at a '"'right shoulder shift," obeying every com- mand, the line moved steadily on. Seventy-one cannon now opened their brazen mouths, solid shot and shell strike the ranks of Pickett's men ; tearing them apart ; but, in spite of this rain of death, the gaps were quickly closed as they still pressed onward. Pickett leaving Wilcox behind, made an oblique movement to the left, soon reaching the base of the Ridge he was directed to assault. Here he changed direction by a half wheel to the right, bringing his advance toward Gibbon's divi- sion, and the ''Clump of Trees," their objective point. The brigades on Pickett's right failed to conform to this oblique movement, but kept on straight to the front, thus leaving a Avide gap between themselves and the right oi Pickett. The Union skirmishers retire from the 48 GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERE. Emmittsburg road, when the artillerists load with canister. The effect of their fire was appalling. The Confederates were now within one hundred and fifty yards, facing death in a thousand terrible forms. They opened upon the Union line as they charged bravely forward. At last the Union infantry opened fire, send- ing a perfect hail of destruction into their ranks. Pickett's line literally melted away, but on came the second, resistless still. The Union batteries hurl double canister into them at ten yards, and then became silent, 72d Pennsylvania Infantry Monument at the "High Water Mark." but not until Gushing had fallen dead among his guns. The struggle is now left to the infantry alone. Webb's brigade could not stay the advance of Pickett's men, who swept up to the rifle-pits, across them and over the barricades; the momentum of their charge swept them on. "A thousand fell 'where Kemper led ; A thousand died where Garnctt bled : In blinding flame and strangling smoke The remnant through the batteries broke And crossed the works with Armistead.'''' GETTYSBUKG : WHAT TIIEY DID HERE. 49 * Webb's soldiers were gallant fighters, but they had not the strength to oppose this momentum, part of them were forced from the "Angle," to a position in rear of the guns. General Armistead, followed by his men, leaped the stone wall, and rushing upon the guns, bayoneted the gunners, and waved their banners trium- phantly within the Union lines. Alas ! they had pene- trated to a fatal point. A storm of missiles swept through their ranks and marked its track with the dead. Armistead fell mortally wounded by one of Cushing's guns, and his men reeled back in fragments. Hancock and Gibbon pushed forward all their re- serveSj who charged upon their disorganized foe. The Confederates, seeing how useless further effort would be, and knowing the impossibility of regaining their lines on Seminary Ridge, threw away their muskets and sur- rendered. On Pickett's right, Stannard's brigade had advanced into the gap left by Wilcox. They opened upon the right of Armistead, which their volleys failed to stop. Stannard then changing the front of his rear rank, had them open upon Wilcox and Perry, who under this fire, and McGilvery's batteries, were forced to retire, leaving hundreds of prisoners in the hands of Stannard's soldiers. On Pickett's left, Pettigreiv's and Trimble' shri grades bore directly towards Hays' division, posted behind a stone wall. When they reached the Emmittsburg road. Hays' soldiers opened a terrific sheet of musketry into their columns, under which the whole front line seemed to go down.

Scale's and Archer' s brigades unite with Fickett, but too late to be of any avail. The force of the attacking columns was spent, their power broken, and all who could, retreated back to Seminar}' Ridge. Out of the four thousand eight hundred men of Pickett's division, not more than one thousand returned. Of the fifteen field officers and four generals, Fickett and one lieutenant- colonel alone remained unharmed. Farnsworth's Cavalry Charge. Preceding the artillery duel, General Kilpatrick, who was on the extreme Union left, ordered Farns- worth's brigade to charge upon the Confederate right flank, Merritt's regular brigade arriving by the Era- mittsburg road, moved in against Anderson's Georgia infantry. Hart's battery opened upon them, and, assisted by the 7th and 8th Georgia regiments^ they were held in check. Merritt dismounted his troopers and de- ployed them as skirmishers. General Z/a?y moved against them the 11th and 59tli Georgia, who attacked Mer- ritt's reserve, and forced his skirmish line back to the Emmittsburg road. Farnsworth's brigade on Merritt's right, boldly charged the 1st Texas regiment, advancing to the very muzzles of their rifles. The 1st Vermont regiment broke through, and got in rear of the Con- federate line, and with drawn sabres moved gallantly up the valley toward the Slyder house. Here they met the withering fire of the 4th Alabama regiment, which checked their advance. Turning to the left, they swept up the hill toward Reilly's battery, Avhich, with its infantry support, opened fire on the few men who still remained in their saddles. The gap where they had entered had been closed by the Confederates. Farnsworth, with a handful of men, madly charged the 15th Alabama regiment, and, GETTYSBURG : WHAT THEY DID HERE. 51 aiming his revolver at Lieutenant Adrian, demanded his surrender. The skirmishers fired upon him, killing his horse and wounding Farnsworth several times. As he fell to the ground Adrian demanded his surrender. This he refused to do. At the same time, says Adrian, ''he shot himself through the head." This engage- ment, although disastrous to the Union cavalry, was productive of one good result; it called away two brigades of infantry from Longstreet that could have aided Pickett when the attack was made against the Union left center. Gregg's and Stuarts Cavalry Fight. When General Lee ordered Stuart with his cavalry around the Union right flank on the 3d, it happened that General Meade had both his flanks well protected by his cavalry. Gregg's division, 1st brigade McIntosh, 3d brigade J. I. Gregg, were three miles east of Gettys- burg. Between their left and Gulp's Hill, Neill's in- fantry brigade of the Sixth Corps filled the gap on Wolf's Hill. As Stuart advanced toward the Baltimore pike, where Lee expected him to create a diversion in favor of Longstreet' s infantry ; and in the advent of their success, he was to fall upon Meade's retreating forces. Stuart, on reaching Cress' Ridge, found Gregg's troopers in his front. He at once placed Griffin's battery in position, and forming his brigades advanced to the Rummel buildings. McIntosh, seeing the Confederates forming, advanced his brigade, who were opened upon with spirit by Griffin's guns and the Confederate skirm- ishers. McIntosh was reinforced by Custer's brigade of Kilpatrick's division, and Randol's and Penning- ton's batteries. The Confederates now advanced in strong numbers. The firing of skirmishers grew in volume, and both sides brought their artillery in play. 52 GETTYSBUllG : WHAT TIIEY DID HERE. Finally, Stuart's men, charging boldly forward, were met by the 7th Michigan regiment, which was driven back. Custer then charged the victorious enemy with the 1st Michigan and forced them back. Charges and counter-charges were theri made, the Confederates in every instance being defeated, and withdrew from the field to their left. The 1st New Jersey and the 3d Pennsylvania regiments advanced against their flank, which they forced back, and they held their positions. During the heaviest fighting Wade Hampton was severely wounded by a sabre cut. Breathed's and McGregor' s batteries replaced Griffin's, when a sharp duel between the artillery ensued. At length the conflict ended, with the advantage decidedly in Gregg's favor, Avho had foiled Stuart, and defeated Lee's well-laid plans. The Final Movement. The Confederates, repulsed in every attempt to break the Union line, were withdrawn to Seminary Ridge, along which they threw up a strong line of intrench- ments, and the sounds of the conflict had in a great measure subsided. In front of the Union left, beyond the Wheatfield, a Confederate battery kept firing upon the Union lines. General Meade, standing on Little Round Top, ordered Geijeral Craavford to move forward the Pennsylvania Reserves and to capture, if possible, the guns. General McCandless formed his brigade alons: the east front of the Wheatfield and led them gallantly against the battery under a terrific shower of shot and shell. The artillery men, seeing this charge in their direction, quickly limber up and retire. In this movement the Reserves bore too much to the right, and by Crawford's orders McCandless changed front to left and rear, charged upon a'Confederate brigade in their intrenchraents, which, being taken in flank, fled in great disorder. The Reserves gave them a few GETTYSBUIKi : WHAT TIIEY DID HERE. 53 parting volleys, captured more than 250 prisoners and over 5,000 stand of arms. Then it was that the hush r ,-^ ^5... I'' '" ''Q<.

Duringthe night of the3d,lie moved off his wounded in wagons by the Hagerstown road. His trains filled with plunder, followed. On the morning of the 4th of July Kil- patrick's cavalry advanced i/"(«Enimittsl)urg to Monterey Giip, and captured a large wagon train of Zee's, cut oif and destroyed over two hundred wagons laden with pro- visions, and captured fifteen hundred prisoners. On the 5th Greg'g's cavalry and the Sixth Corps started in pursuit via the Chamhershurg and Hagerstown roads. Lees army moved in retreat via the Hagerstown road, through Monterey Gap direct to Hagerstown and on to Williamsport, on the Potomac Kiver. Lee had the shorter route to the Potomac, which his advance reached several days ahead of his pursuers. On the 12th of July Meade's array confronted him in line of battle. On the night of the 13th, the river having fallen, Lee, unmolested, crossed over into Virginia, and escaped. The losses of both armies were very heavy. The returns show for Meade's army : killed, 3,072 ; wounded, 14,497; missing, 5,434— total, 23,003; and for Zee's army: killed, 2,592 ; wounded, 12,709 ; missing, 5,150— total, 20,451. The Confederate return of losses is defective. Many of Lee's organizations made no returns. From what I have learned from prominent officers of Lee's army they estimate their entire loss at 35,000 men. ll^-NATIOfSAL MCEMeTERY 5G (;ettv.sburu : what they did here.

JOHN BURNS. *CTmONG the interesting incidents of the first day's battle is the record of John Bams / -*• a. resident of Gettysburg. General Doubleiiay in his ofQcial report of the battle says: "My thanks are especi- ally due to a citizen of Gettysburg, named .John Burns, who although over seventy years of age, shouldered his musket and offered his services to Colonel Wister, One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Col. Wlster advised him to light in the woods as there was more shelter there, but he preferred to join our line of skirmishers In the open fields. When the troops retired he fought with the 'Iron Brigade.' He was wounded in three places." The following poem was written by Bret Harte, in honor of his services: Have you heard the story the gossips tell Of John Burns, of Gettysburg? No? Ah well, Brief is the glory that hero earns. Briefer the story of poor John Burns; He was the fellow who won renown — The only man who didn't back down When the rebels rode through his native town; But held hla own in the fight next day. When all his townfolk ran away. That was in July, sixty-three— The very day that General Lee, The fiower of Southern chivalry, Baffled and beaten, backward reeled From a stubborn Meade and a barren field. I might tell how, but the day before, John Burns stood at his cottage-door. Looking down the village-street; Where, in the shade of his p^cetul vine. He heard the low of his gathered kine, And felt their breath with incense sweet; Or, I might say, when the sunset burned The old farm gable, he thought It turned « The milk, that fell in a babbling flood Into the mllk-pall, red as blood; Or how he fancied the hum of bees Were bullets buzzing among the trees. But all such fanciful thoughts as these Were strange to a practical man like Burns, Who minded only his own concerns. Troubled no more by fancies fine Than one of his calm-eyed long-tailed klne — Quite old-fashioned and matter-of-fact, Slow to argue, but quick to act. That was the reason, as some folks say, He fought so -well on that terrible day. And it was terrible. On the right Eaged for hours tlie heavy fight. Thundered the battery's double-bass— Difllcult music for me;i to face; While on the loft— where now the graves Undulate like the living waves That all the day unceasing swept Up to the pits the rebels kept — Round-shot ploughed the upland glades, Sown with bullets, reaped with blades; Shattered fences here and there Tossed their splinters in the air; The very trees were stripped and bare; The barns that once held yellow grain Were heaped with harvests of the slain; The cattle bellowed on the plain. The turkeys screamed with might and main, And brooding barn-fowl loft tholr rest With strange shells bursting in each nest. Just where the battle turns. Erect and lonely, stood old John Burns. How do you think the man was dressed? He wore an ancient long buff vest — YelloV as saffron, but his best; And buttoned over his manly breast Was a bright blue coat, with a rolling collar And largo gilt buttons— size of a dollar— With tails that country-folk calleil "swal- ler." He wore a broad-brimmed bell-crowned hat. White as the locks on which It sat. Never had such a sight been seen For forty years on the village-green. Since John Burns was a country-beau, And went to the "quilting," long ago. Close at bis elbows all that day. 106 OETTYSBURG. — IN PROSE AND POETRY. Veterans of the Peninsula, Sunburnt and bearded, charged away, And striplings, downy of lip and chin — Clerks that the Home Guard mustered la- Glanced, as they passed, at the hat he wore, Then at the rifle his right hand bore. And hailed him, from out their youthful lore. With scraps of a slangy repertoire: "How are you. White Hat?" "Put hor through!" "Your head's level!" and "Bully for you!" Called him "Daddy," and begged he'd dis- close The name of the tailor who made his clothes, And what was the value he set on those; While Burns, unmindful of jeer and scoff, Stood thei-e picking the rebels o£f— With his long brown rifle and bell-crown hat And the swallow-tails they were laughing at. 'Twas but a moment: for that respect Which clothes all courage their voices checked; And something the wildest could under- stand Spake in the old man's strong right liand. And his corded throat, and the lurking frown Of his eyebrows under his old bell-crown; Until, as they gazed, there crept an awe Through the ranks, in whispers, and some men saw. In the antique vestments and long white hair, The Past of the Nation in battle there, And some of the soldiers since declare That the gleam of his old white hat afar, Like the crested plume of the brave Navarre, That day was their oriflamme of war. Thus raged the battle. You know the rest; IIow the rebels, beaten and backward pressed, Broke at the flnal charge and ran; At which John Burns, a practical man. Shouldered his rifle, unbent his brows. And then went back to his bees and cows. This is the story of old John Burns— This is the moral the reader learns: In fighting the battle, the question's whether You'll show a hat that's white, or a feather. ..•■■Il^llln..... jTJhe charge at Balaklava will live forever In song ; but the feat shrinks almost to ■•• triviality when we consider the facts. According to Klnglake, the Light Brigade toolc 673 officers and meu into that charge ; they lost but 113 killed and I'ii wounded, the total being 247, or 36.7 per cent. The heaviest loss In the German army, during the Franco-Prussian War, occurred in the Sixteenth Infantry (Third Westphallan) at Marc La Tour, where It lost, in killed, wounded and missing, 49.4 per cent. " But Colonel Fox enumei-ates no less than sixty -three Union regiments which lost over 50 per cent, in single battles of our Civil War, without including others where the statistics are incomplete. In some of these cases the bulk of the losses occurred within an hour. The First Minnesota lost at Gettysburg, in killed and wounded, 82 per cent, of the number that' went in ; the One Hundred and Forty-flrst Pennsylvania lost 75.7 per cent. In the same battle ; the One Hundred and First New York lost 73.8 per cent, at Manassas ; the Twenty-flfth Massachusetts lost 70 per cent, at Cold Harbor. San Francisco Argonaut. ....••■II^IHKM. JT[he Twenty-sixth North Carolina regiment went into the Gettysburg flght with less -*■ than 800 men. It reported 86 killed, 502 wounded,— Total 588. This does not Include 120 missing. In one company of 84, every officer and man was hit, and the orderly who made out the list did it with a bullet through each leg. This is by far the largest regimental loss on either side during the war.

U^FTER the close of the Battle of Gettysburg, on Stratton Street, uear York Street, I'*- In Gettysburg, was touud the corpse of a Federal soldier. Tightly grasped lu the dead soldier's hand was an ambrotypo likeness of three children, and on Uiein his last gaze had been fastened as his soul had departed to Its God. He was burled on a lot of Judge Russell's, near whore he was found. The Incident awoke the tenderest sympathies of Dr. J. Francis Bournes, of Philadelphia, who borrowed the picture and had thousands of copies struck and widely circulated. A copy reach- ing Cattaraugus County, N. Y., was recognized as the children of Orderly Sergeaut Humiston, of the 154th N. Y. Regiment of Costar's Brigade, 11th Corps. The remains of Sergt. Humiston were buried in grave No. 14, row B, of the N. Y. Section of graves in the National Cemetery. The fund created by the sale of the photographs formed the nucleus for the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, for some years at Gettysburg, and the children were brought there and educated, the mother for a time being Matron of the Institution. The Philadelphia branch of the Sanitary Commission offered a prize for the best poem upon this touching incident. The award was made to James G. Clark, of Dansville, N. Y., for the following thrilling stanzas: Upon the field of Gettysburg The summer sun was high, When freedom met her traitorous foe Beneath a Northern sky; Among the heroes of the North, Who swelled her grand array — Who rushed, like mountain eagles forth From happy homes away, There stood a man of humble fame, A sire of children three, And gazed, within a little frame. Their pictured forms to see; And blame him not if, in the strife, He breathed a soldier's prayer — "Oh ! Father, guard the soldier's wife. And for his children care." Upon the fleld of Gettysburg When morning shone again, The crimson cloud of battle burst In streams of flery rg.in; Our legions quelled the awful flood Of shot, and steel, and shell, Willie banners, niark'd with ball and blood. Around them rose and fell; And none more nobly won the name Of Champion of the Free, Than he who pressed the little frame That held his children three; And none were braver In the strife Than he who breatlied the prayer: "O! Father, guard the soldier's wife, And for his children care." Upon the fleld of Gettysburg The full moon slowly rose. She looked, and saw ten thousand brows All pale lu death's repose; And down beside a sliver stream. From other forms away. Calm as a warrior in a dream. Our fallen comrade lay; Ills limbs were cold, hie sightless eyes Were fixed upon the three. Sweet stars that rose in memory's skies To light him o'er death's sea. Then honored be the soldier's life, And hallowed be his prayer: "O! Father, guard the soldier's wife, And for his orphans care." ~.IH|^III~" Whe Second Maryland Confederate Regiment, commanded by Lieut. Colonel James -*' R. Herbert, was the pride and boast of the army,— made an assault on the evening of July 2nd on the Federal entrenchments on Culp's Hill. In this movement they occu- pied part of the Federal works, but on the next morning July 3rd, In storming the hill in the face of Geary's White Star Division, they were compelled to fall back with heavy loss. Nearly all the commissioned officers were killed or wounded, and of the five hun- dred of the command who went into the fight only two hundred escaped unhurt. General Herbert was severely wounded in the fight, and was confined to a hospital for two months. Being captured, he was sent to Johnson's Island, Ohio, and in 18C4, was exchanged for a lieutenant-colonel of a New Y'ork regiment, and within thirty days again took command of bis regiment. 108 GETTYSBURG. — IN PROSE AND POETRY. 6 EN. II. W. SLOCUM, In the North American Review, February, 1891, narrates this Interesting incident: " Near the line occupied by the brigade ol Gen. J. B. Carr, ou the Emmlttsburg road, stands a little one-story house, which at the time of the battle was occupied by a Mrs. Rogers and her (adopted) daughter. On the morning of July 2nd, Gen. Carr stopped at the house and found the daughter, a girl of about eigh- teen years of age, alone, busily engaged in baking bread. He informed her that a great battle was Inevitable, and advised her to seek a place of safety at once. She said she had a. batch of bread baking in the oven and she would remain until it was baked and then leave. When her bread was baked it was given to our soldiers, and devoured so eagerly that she concluded -to remain and bake another batch. And so she continued to the end of the battle, baking and giving her bread to all who came. The groat artil- lery duel, which shook the earth for miles around, did not drive her from her oven. Pickett's men, who had charged past her house, found her quietly baking her bread and distributing it to the hungry. When the battle was over her house was found to be riddled with shot and shell, and seventeen dead bodies were taken from the house and cellar; the bodies of the wounded men who had crawled to the little dwelling for shelter." JOSEPHINE (ROGERS) MILLER. The war-cloud is gath'ring o'er Gettysburg vale, Portending hoarse thunder and death-dealing-hail; The solid earth trembles, and rent is the air. With the rushing of squadrons,— the loud trumpets blare. The clanking of arms, and the shouting of men. And the neighing of steeds from each echoing glen; But unheeding the din and unhindered by dread Josephine Miller is baking her bread. Now the battle is on, and they warn her away; For her cottage It stands in the sweep of the fray; They say 'twill be shattered by shot and by shell, — But she answers by quenching their thirst from the well, And baking her bread for the blue-coated men, And heating her oven and baking again, — Alone in the house whence the owner had fled Josephine Miller is baking her bread. She hears on the roof bullets patter like rain- Bombs burst in the road and the door-yard. The slain By scores and by hundreds on every hand lie- The wounded crawl Into the cellar to die. With her cup of relief she is here, she Is there; No cry is unheard, but with tenderness rare, ^ Alone, all alone with the dying and dead Josephine watches while baking her bread. All through the long night and the long weary day She nurses the wounded, the blue and the gray; And their tears silent fall,— for sweet visions of home And of faces belov'd to each soldier will come When the maiden draws nigh. And the dying rejoice In the touch of her hand and the sound of her voice, And pray for a blessing to rest on the head Of Josephine Miller while baking her bread. GETTYSBURG.

I'm a stranger here at Gettysburg, I came to spend the day — To gather Jinowledge on the field Ot that most dreadful fray. I see you are an army man And can doubtless, it you will. Enlighten me about the light On " Round Top, Ridge and Hill." With pride, the soldier answer made : " I fought with Hancock here ; Our corps repulsed old Pickett's charge And won the victory dear." A little farther on I went. Resolving in my mind, To aiwaj-s hold up Hancock's namg As greatest of his kind. And then I met a group ot men. The Tlilrd Corps badge they wore, They told me how with Sickles, they The blunt ot conflict bore. They told me that the hardest tight Was on the second day. The battle then was really won. The rest was mere "by-play." To Sickles then the glory give, Tliat soldier bold and true ; 'Twas ho that turned the tide ot war, Give him all honor due. Such strong emotions filled my mind — My eyes were filled with tearn, When Hearing still another grouji, These words fell on my ears : 'Twas here that Crawford lod tho charge. Right through this rocky glen, He drove the rebels out of sight Beyond the 'Devil's Den.' ' It Crawford hadn't been right there With the gallant old Reserves, This victory couMu't have been won, The credit he deserves." My footsteps then I onward took • Where Reynolds tell that day And learned, that that great soldier had, For victory, paved the way. lie stemmed the enemy's advance. His force was brave, but tow. They fought as men but seldom will, To them all praise is due. To Cemetery Hill I went And made some Inquiry there. They told me there brave Huward fought And won the victory /air. 'Twas here the " Tigers " made their charge. Each foot with blood was stained ; But Howard cheered his men so bold. And be the victory gained. Homeward, then I took my way, .* little mixed indeed. Who was tho hero of the day ? I'd always thought 'twas Meado. But, of course, I was mistaken. For ot him I did not hear ; In all the talk about the fight, His name did not appear. So I have com© to the conclusion. That tho hero ot the fight Was each man who did his duty. And I know you'll say I'm right. '^ 110 GETTYSBURG. — IN PROSE AND POETRY. •alF the 27,574 muskets picked up on the battlefield of Gettysburg and turned Into the ^ Washington Arsenal, at least 2,400 were loaded. About oue-halt of this number contained two charges each, one-fourth contained from three to ten charges each, and the balance one charge each. The largest number of cartridges found In any one piece was twenty-three. In some cases the paper of the cartridges was unbroken, and in others the powder was uppermost. Benton's Ordnance and Gunnery, page 341. Whe great Battles of the Civil War were : Gettysburg, Spottsylvanla, Wilderness, •■' Antietam, Chancellorsville, Chlckamauga, Cold Harbor, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Sliiloh, Stone River, and Petersburg. Gettysburg was the greatest battle of the war— Antietam the bloodiest. The largest army was assembled by the Confederates at the Seven Days' Fight ; by the Federals at the Wilderness. TTJHE minle ball which killed General John F. Reynolds, passed in at one side of his head and came out at the other. He fell from his horse and never spoke. pENERAIi GABRIEL R. PAUL, commanding a brigade of Robinson's Division, First Corps, having been ordered by General Doubleday to extend the right of Cutler's brigade, July Ist, on North Seminary Ridge, had barely reached his position when a mlnle ball carried away both his eyes. He lived until 1884 In this terrible condition. \ rjENERAL HENRY HETH, Whose division opened the battle of Gettysburg on the Con- federate side, says, as he ordered Pettigrew's and Brockenbrough's brigades for- ward to the relief of Davis' and Archer's brigades on the morning of July 1st, he was struck on the head by a rainie ball and fell unconscious, in which condition he lay for thirty hours. The hat worn by Heth on this occasion was too large for his head,— he had folded a newspaper and placed the same Inside, around the band. This paper saved his life— the bullet glancing followed the paper band— but left a deep dent in his skull. rXENERAL H. J. HUNT, Chief of Artillery, says : " There were expended upon the field of Gettysburg, five hundred and sixty-nine tons of deadly missiles, including all the various kinds of shot, shell, schrapnel and ball known to this country and to Europe." THHE Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg contains seventeen acres, and over two hundred varieties of shrubbery. 0N a recent visit of General Longstreet to Gettysburg, when asked If he really op- posed Pickett's charge, he .said he had ; that he had earnestly urged General Lee not to attempt it, as the distance was too great, and the position of the Union forces a strong one. He said he was seated on a fence when General Pickett came to him to say that everything was ready, and asked If he should move. "I was so overcome," said General Longstreet, "and was so positive of the failure of the charge, and knew so well that It was only sending thousands of brave souls, the flower of the army, to their graves, that I could not speak, I merely gave a nod of assent, and then the tears rushed to ray eyes as I saw those brave fellows rush to a certain death." Philadelphia Times. CONFEDERATE Sharpshooters occupied a large brick house on South Washing- ton Street in fancied security. The Union Sharpshooters failed to dislodge them, when suddenly Union shells tore through the gable end of the house, sweeping furni- ture and Confederates from it with more haste than grace. The house bears the marks of over 500 bullets. Similar was the experience of Mr. George Little and family on W^est Middle Street, who Just rising from their supper table had it abruptly cleared for them by a Whltworth shot. ^[ERGEANT BARBEE of the Texas brigade, having reached a rock a little in advance • ^ of the line near the Devil's Den, stood erect upon it, loading and firing as coolly as if unconscious of danger, while the air around him was fairly swarming with bul- lets. Ho soon fell helpless from several wounds: but he held his rock, lying upon the top of it until the stretcher bearers carried him off. Century, GETTYSBURG. — IN PROSE AND POETRY. Ill BRAVE BRUCE RICKETTS. /TaPTAIN EICEETTS Is a rather short, slight man, and in hoyhood was known as ^ "Runt" Rickelts, his older brothers being tall men of more than ordinary stature. But his battery blazed a flery pathway on many a battleQeld. At Gettysburg li stood on East Cemetery Hill, and when the Louisiana Tigers charged up to the summit and turned one of their own guns upon the men, there was a hand-to-hand fight unequalled for flerceness in modern warfare. Revolvers, bayonets, shovels, hand- spikes, pickdxes aud stones were the weapons used in the struggle, and for a time pandemonium seemed on that particular spot of the earth. Just as the Tigers reached the crest of the hill an artillery man, pale and trembling with fear, said to Rickotts: "Captain, I'm awful sick. May I go to the rear ? " Ricketts knew that it one man started to run a panic might follow. Drawing a revolver, he pointed it at the fellow's head and said: "If you don't take your place, I'll make you sicker I " Ho went back to his post and a few moments later Blcketts saw him, in the very thick of the flght knock a "Tiger" down with a handspike. It was at this Juncture in the struggle that Lieufonatit Brockway, while fighting to recapture the battery's guidon, killed a rebel by crushing in his skull with a stone. But all this "is another story." Not long ago an ex Confederate ofUcer visited Wilkes Barre and was Introduced to Captain Ricketts. "Ricketts?" he said. "That name sounds familiar. 1 was In the charge on Rickett's battery at Gettysburg." "Well," said the gentleman who had introduced fSiem. "This is the commander of that battery." The Southerner stepped back and surveyed "Runt" Blcketts from head to foot. Then he said, apparently half to himself: "And did this little cuss command Battery Helll" "Battery Hell" was the forcible, but not altogether inappropriate name bestowed upon his famous battery by the rebels who faced it often and always to tlielr sorrow. I^lttburg Times. JI YOUNG WENTZ, whose father lived near the Peach Orchard, went south before ' the war, when it broke out he donned the gray, and through the irony of fate stood during the battle of Gettysburg with his battery in his father's yard. Similar was the case of Culp, a nephew of the owner of Culp's Hill, He went south before the war. Joined the Confederates, and came north to die on Culp's Hill, near where he was born. rkURING the night of the 2d, Confederates and Federals mingled freely in obtaining water from Spangler's Springs for the wounded. /GENERAL LONGSTREET is over seventy-two years of age; has a comfortable home on Uie summit of a ridge in North Georgia, and hia wife is still living. They have five children— lour boys and one girl— the eldest son, John, shouldered a musket as a private In the Confederate army when he was only fourteen years of age. JFHE Sherfy property, near the Peach Orchard, was struck by over 150 minle balls —four shells passed entirely through th« building. North of the house stands an aged cherry tree, imbedded in the centre of Its trunk is a ten pound shell, fired during the conflict at the Orchard. The Sherfy barn was burned during the 3d of July. JF. CHASE of the 3rd Maine Regiment and Cannoneer of the 5th Maine Battery, ' who received a medal of honor by an Act of Congress for heroic services rendered at the Battle of ChancellorsviUe, May 3, 1863, and who received 48 wounds at the Bat- tle of Gettysburg, July 2, 1863; laid upon the battlefield two days and was taken up for dead. The first words he uttered when he came to were, "Did we win the battle?" He yet lives to tell the story of that wonderful battle and the cost of the flag and Ita value to the generations to come. "DETWEEN +,500 and 5,000 horses were killed at the battle of Gettysburg. 112 GETTYSBURG. — IN PROSE AND POETRY. rtOL. FREEMANTLE relates the following : "General Hill said to me that ilie Yankees In the first clay's battle had fought with a determination unusual to them. Ho pointed to a field In the center of which he had seen a man (Slocum cf the 143rd Penna Reg.) plant the regimental colors, round which the regiment had fought for some time with much obstinacy; and when at last It was obliged to retreat, the color- bearer retreated last of all, turning around every now and then to shake his flst at the advancing Confederates. General HUrsaid he felt sorry when he saw this gallant Yankee meet his doom." 0N the evening of the 2nd, Captain Chester was wounded and left upon the field; after night-tall he was found near a large rock alive, but terribly wounded. His horse and orderly both lay dead beside him, and across his legs lay a Confederate soldier, whom he had killed with his revolver whilst In the act of plundering him of Ms watch. He was tenderly conveyed to the hospital on Rock Creek where he died on the 3rd. From C Ml War. ■pVERY church and public building was used for hospitals, in fact, Gettsyburg became for the time one vast hosi^ltal. JITHE college building, Just north of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad depot, was used by General Lee as an observatory during the battle. ■pVERY one has read of the sweet and comely Jennie Wade, who was the only woman killed at Gettysburg. It was not so well known that she was engaged to and corre- sponded with Corporal Skelly, for whom Gettysburg G. A. R. Post Is named. He fell at Winchester ; this she had not learned ; was it not poetic J ustice, if yet unkind fate, which led that stray bullet to snap the golden cord, ere her lover's death had broken her heart. FOR several hours General Imboden, on the evening of July 3rd, hurried forward on his way to the front, and in all that time was never out of hearing of the groans and cries of the wounded and dying. Many of the wounded In the wagons had been without food for thirty-six hours. Their torn and bloody clothing, matied and hardened, was rasping the tender, inflamed and still oozing wounds. Few of the wagons had even a layer of straw in them, and all were without springs. The road was rough and rocky, and the Jolting was enough to kill strong men, it long exposed to It. From nearly every wagon as the teams trotted on, urged by whip and shout, came such cries and shrieks as these : "O God why can't I die?" "My God, will no one have mercy and kill me?" "Stop ! Oh, for God's sake stop Just for one minute ! Take me out and leave me to die on the roadside!" "I am dying I I am dying 1 My poor wife, my dear children, what will become of you?" No help could be rendered to any of the sufferers. On! On! They must more on. The storm continued, and the darkness was appalling. "During this one night," says General Imboden, "I realized more of the horrors of war than in all the preceding two years." From " Centuri/ War Book." T)aYARD WILKESON, who commanded Battery G, 4th Regular Artillery, on Barlow's ■*-' Knoll, was mortally wounded on the afternoon of July 1st. Thirty-six Confed- erate cannon turn their fire upon his position. Wllkeson to Inspire his men, kept In the saddle and soon had a leg almost severed by a Shell. Twisting a tourniquet by means of his belt, he stopped the flow of blood, and with his own li.ind and .i common knife he completed the amputation of the leg. Water was brought him to drink — when one of his men begged for a swallow, ar.d Wllkeson handed him the canteen say- ing : "I can wait!" In his terrible situation he thoaight more of having his guns served than of saving himself. The Knoll Is finally captured by Gordon's Confederate brigade. General Barlow wounded. Is captured, and the brave Wllkeson crawled back nearly half a mile to the Alms House, and there, alone, he died during the night, as brave a victim as the annals of our wars put upon record. ."•THE"- COMMONWEALTH HOTEL, Corner of Market Street and Market Square, HARRI5BURG, PA.

I have listened with pleasure to the description of the Battle Field of Gettysburg, by Mr. L. W. Minn'igh. I was struck with the accuracy of lis statements and with his relation of facts as to the baitle at different /points of the field. , His description is connected and graphic, free from irrelevant matter and entirely and singularly accurate. This statement has not been so- licited, but has been tendered by me. S. W. Crawford, Dec. I J, i8gi. Major General U. S. A. Brevet. The Battalion of Cadets, Pennsylvania State College, spent a week October 23rd-30th, 1891, studying the Battle Field under the guidance of Mr. Minnigh. The whole subject was minutely studied. His manner of presenting the facts is so clear and logical as to cause the scenes described to be quite realistic. I consider his services of the greatest possible value and without a single reservation recommend him to any one desiring to make a thorough study of the battle and field. Silas A. Woi,F, ist I/ieut. 4th U. S. Infantry. Prof. Mil. Science and Tactics, Pa. State College. Mr. Minnigh's concise, lucid and graphic descriptions of the battle, afforded verbal but vivid eye-pictures of the struggle. — New York Home Journal, May 25th, 1892. Under the intelligent guidance of the local guide and historian, Mr. Minnigh, a thorough knowledge of the battle may be obtained in a few hours. — New York Ledger, (Weekly,) July 2d, 1892. Mr. Minnigh is a perfect encyclopedia of the battle and tells his story in tones plain and distinct. We recommend him to parties visiting Gettysburg, and after you have heard him tell his story, you will know all there is to know about the bloody conflict. — Columbia Independent, July 29th, 1891. No more absorbing word picture was ever painted for the 200 listeners, than was that of L. W. Minnigh, the guide. So graphic and impressive were his words that the New York and Philadelphia Journalists could almost discern the soldiers in deadly combat. — Philadelphia Call, May. 2oth, 1892. Mr. Minnigh's description of the battle was comprehensive, surprisingly graphic and at times thrilling. — Public Ledger, Phila., May 20, 1892. Guide Minnigh's story of the battle was so graphic that we could al- most see it. It was an object lesson in history, worth more than to study for a year or to read a library. — Poughkeepsie Eagle, N. Y. Mr. Minnigh handled his subject in a masterly style, with an accu- racy and fluency that was surprising and his ability to tell the story of the battle in the smallest number of words, yet in a most interesting and comprehensive manner, evinced no mean degree of proficiency as an or- ator and historian. — West Brighton S. I. Advance, December 5, 1891. Minnigh the guide, has everything pertaining to the battle at his fin- ger end, describing in the plainest terms the movements of both armies, which was absolutely amazing. — The Baltimorean, August 6th, 1890. Our townsman. Guide Minnigh, is a fluent and graceful speaker and thoroughly understands what he talks about. — Gettysburg Truth. Guide L. W. Minnigh has an eloquent tongue, his description vivid and impressive. — Phila. Inquirer, May 20th, 1892. L. W.
