devotion of then-oldies themselves to the
wishes of ‘ their leaders was such that the
world hours with wonder and admiration the
story of their deeds. When Reynolds pushed

who followed his banners to be as held and
brave as himself ; and when Sickles advanced
his column to the‘ debatable position oxf the
Emmitsbnrg road—a position of ' which both
armies stood in need and one the Confed-
erates were hastening to seize—isolated and
exposed as he was, and enveloped by superior
numbers, he asked great things of his men
when he called upon them to stand to their col-
ors through such a crisis. And so it was over all'
that field and in every contest, men fought
as they had never fought before and for the"
simple mason that such desperate work had
never before been required of them. Gen.
John C. Robinson, a division leader in the
First corps (Reynolds’), says that the fighting
of his men during the short time they were
engaged at close quarters—a couple of hours
—was the severest that he ever witnessed.
Ho spoke, too, from II experience of three
year-sin the Army of the Potomac, from the
First Bull Run to the Wilderness.
,. EALLvmo on run time.
The Iron brigade, under Meredith, with
Cutler‘s brigade of the some division, opened
the infantry battle on the Union side. Mere-
dith led his men in to the support of Cutler,
and while passing their commander, Gen.
Doubleday, who was second in command to
Reynolds, he told them to hold their ground
—-a grove on the bank of Willoughby Run—
at all hazards. The response to this call was:
“If we can’t do it, where will you find the
men who can?" As they entered the grove
from one edge the Confederates of Hetb‘s
division came filingin from the opposite side,
having forced their way over the stream on
the flank of Cutler’s line. One volley from
the Iron brigade staggered the men in gray,
for they had been told that they would meet
only raw militia on the road to Gettysburg.
But when the smoke cleared away from
Meredith’s line they saw a familiar light and
exclaimed:
“ "Paint the militia, neither! It's the
Army of the Potomac. There’s the black
batted fellows again."
Col. Morrow, of the Twenty-fourth Michi-
gan, in his oflicial report, tells a Wary, as
sot-sage as any romance. After reforming
his lines twice audjnaking a desperate resist-

it to rally his remnant, and Private Kelly, 1
Company B, rushed to him, and said: "The

there were only lifeless hands to hold the

stand of the line was made preparatory to
the retreat from Oak Ridge to Cemetery
Hill. Adyiug soldier hadclnngto themaud
draggedhimsolfback until he could go no
further, and'there be delivered them to his
own comrade, Capt; Edwards. On this field
the deeds of' heroism were number-ism, and
no one regiment or brigade can be singled
out for an example. The record of the Iron
brigade, as inscribed on the monument of the
Nineteenth Indians erected on this field,
shows a. loss of 1,212 men out of 1,883 that en—
tered the fight. _ -
Cntler’s brigade lost 975 men. One of the
regiments hero was the Fourteenth Brooklyn
-Eighty-fourtb New York volunteers. When
the Confederates begnnto advance down Oak
Ridge on the flank of the line formed along
the run in McPherson’s woods, this regiment
charged a sweep of over a quarter of a mile,
and afterward swung in at one end of the
brigade and capturing nearly be whole com-
mand. The story of‘all these regiments is
not told by the losses, heavy though they
were. The glory lies in the work they did,
bravely contostingthe ground inch by inch,
’and keeping at it after every second man in
the ranks had fallen. Finally they reheated,
when ordered to do so, with their faces to the
enemy, and they fought for the roadway back
to the heights. '
FIGHTING Ix RETREAT.
When the retreat was determined upon,
Capt. Hall's Second Maine battery was in-
structed to hold a knoll on Seminary Ridge
fifteen minutes. He had. to face infantry
and artillery fire to do so, and so impetuous
were the enemy that they came on with bare
bayonets. But yet Hall did not yield. With
grape andcanistcr he raked their lines un-
til the dead bodies of the fallen became mm-
purts behind which the living found shelter.
Finally, there was not time to load; the Con-
federates came on with clubbed muskets and
the Maine men beat them back with stow
and gun trimmers. even with their fish.
Four out of the six guns were saved and
dragged of! from the very clutches of the
enemy back to Cemetery Hill. As this mo-
ment scenes equally stirring were being
enacted on the right of the line alongtho

corps, coming in from toward York
and Harrisburg, struck the flank of the line

a glance told them points in the position,
before the men could form for battle. The
Confederate brigades of Hoke, Buys and
Gordon, crossing Rock creek. were taking
Howard's-right division, under Gen. Francis
C. Barlow, in the flank. Barlow fell at the
front and became a prisoner to Gordon. On
Barlowfs extreme right was planted Battery
G, Fourth Regular artillery, under a young
hangout—Bayard Wilkoson, a boy of 19.
Wilkeson had left school in Europe to coins
and servohis country, and he enlistedas a
private, but won a commission at Fredericks—
burg a few months before , this cam-
paign. The knoll where Wilkeson stood was
the only height sweeping the plain, and the
banks of Rock creek skirting it, and the
enemy must pass hintii'n order to get in rear
of the First corps, which was just now

had moved out stress a wide plain, in: '-
ndu covered 'v'v'ith Confederate cannon and
Oak Hill was occupied by a heavy battery.
Gen. Ilse had come up from Chambersburg,
and from the seminary cupols he could see the
situation at a glance. The knoll on Rock
creek must be gained and he ordered the
batteries of Oak Ridge, no less than thirty-
Iix guns, turned upon Howard’s line and par-
ticularly upon the battery at the knoll.
Wilkeson, to inspire his men, kept in the
saddle and soon had a leg severed by a shell.
Twisting a tourniquet by means of his belt,
hestopped the flow of blood, and with his
own hand and a common knife he completed
the amputation Of the leg. lVatei' was
brought to him to drink, but one of the men
at the guns ran to the spot and begged for a
swallow, and Wilkeson handed him the can-
teen, saying: “Icon wait!” In his terrible
situation he thought more of having his guns
served than of saving himself. Finally, the
knoll had to bo yielded and Wilkeson crawled
back a mile to tho ulmshouse, and there,
alone, he died. during the night, as bravo a
victim as the annals of our wars put upon
record. '

became the order of the day. Gen. Howard
ordered the cavalry leader, Buford, to ad-
vancc out on the plain and hold on to the last
to cover the retreat. Rising in his stir-raps,
with the usual army oath, Buford cried:
“What is there to hang on to?" The troops
were rushing back 9: the town, followed by
the enemy on two sides. The cavalry rode
out into the throng, the line surgedpast them
and they faced the men in gray, who formed
squares to receive them, according to the
manual. Such a scene was a novel one, except
on paper, but the squares won the day. Bul-
lets, shells and solid shot broke the force of a
handful of horsemen before they could reach
their enemy, and nothing could save the field
so bravely contested. What scenes foil owed!
BATTLEFIELD EXPERIENCES.
Saldiers who had been hit at the front; were
again made targets for relentless balls. Sonic
few took refuge in the houses and others hid
outside. Gen. . Schimmelpfennig himself ~
escaped capture by hiding in a wood pile,
and joined his division. after three days of
battle. Among the sad Binaries of this terrible
hour is that of Sergt. ,Hnmmiston, of the
One Hundred and Fifty-fourth New York
regiment, Costcr’s brigade, Of the Eleventh
corps. ' This brigade was detached from
Steinwehr’s division that remained on the
heights to hold them while the battle raged
beyond, and when the front line began to re-
treat Caster was sent into the town to cover
the movement. He had to fight for right of.
way, and one victim of the melee in the
streets was Hummistou. He was found dead,
clasping the picture of three children. There
was no mark of identity on his person, but
the picture was photographed, and thousands
of copies were circulated in the army, and
the children were traced by them to their
home in Cattamugus county, N. Y. Such is
the price of a nation’s glory—death claiming
the noblest of her sons, and households filled
with lamentations.
As might be supposed, there Were other
sides to the picture, for war, with all its ter-
rors, is not wholly tragic.
When order and confidence were fully rc-
stored on the heights of Cemetery Ridge,
where the discomfited soldiers of Reynolds
and Howard found themselves at nightfall,
there was another army anxious, not to say
desperate, on this some question of rations.
It had been an all day march and fight, and
notaman had tosteda warm meal. Fires
were kindled and the kettles were soon send-
ing out savory odors. 0n the northwestern

Officers stood chatting near the fire where
their mess cook was hustling round to set
out their supper. The stew was ready, the
pack horse stood patiently while the cook
drew out the service and spread it; on the
ground. A Confederate shell from the ridge
near the seminary came searching a target
along the line of the Baltimore pike, and
takings short cut landed under the soup
kettle, hoisting that and all its conteniain

luggage into a litter that it taxed the cook
some hours to separate and identify.
The crest of Cemetery Hill commanded a
view of the entire field, and the sights as
they presented themselves at nightfall are
told by an officer on the field. He says:
“The scene from the crest of this bill on that

roman non STRUGGLE.
When the battle was resinnedon them
and day , it was with phalanx, against-pim-
Ianx, the about ranks of Longstreet rushing
upon Sickles’ men between Devil's Den and
the Peach Orchard on the Union left fiank.
The attack was made at 4 o’clock. Rows of
Confederate cannon opened with deadly ef-
fect, and the infantry 'moved up to deliver
that form of assault most dreaded by the
'best of soldiers, a flanking movement. The
force of it was against Sickles’ left center,
his weakest point, occupied by a thin line of
infantry and the Ninth Massachusetts bat-
tery, under Capt. John Bigelow. The Ninth
belonged to the artillery reserve and .was
postedhero by the chief: of the brigado,_':lflj.
Freeman McGilvery, with the order to “hold
the ground until I get two batteries on the
ridge. Give them grape and canister.” A
' Confederate battery advanced and unlim-
bered close to Bigelow, and the infantry
rushed upon his guns so close as to be blown
to fragments. Some climbed upon the
Iimbers nudshot down the horses. _Wheii
‘McGilveryhadplaced the rear batteries in
position Bigelow retired two of his pieces by
the aid of ropes and the force of the recoil
at each discharge. More than half of his
men and ofilccrs were down, and on arriving
at the Trestle house, where there was acom- ‘
manding knoll, he made another stand until
he was completely surrounded, and then or-
dered his men to save themselves. Now be-

went forward not less gloriously. A staff
officer was riding across the field to find
Caldwell and ask for aid at a threatened
point, and he chanced to meet Zook before '
Caldwell appeared. To save time he asked
Zooktogo with him. "My orders are to
follow the column," said Zook. But a glance

me the order of Gen. Sicklcs I will obey it."
“Then his order is that you file your
brigade to the right and move into action
here.” '
Zook wheeled his men out of column and
started across the Wheat Field, but exhausted
and disorganized masses of men. driven back
from mc‘fiont, Obstructed his march. Zook
now cried out : . . - -
“Men, if you cannot get out of the way, lie
down and let the march over you.”
So the column went on and Zook fell at
the head of it, living just long enough to
hear the shouts of victory when the field was
won. Zook’s successor, Col. R. P. Roberts, of
vniiia, was also killed here, and three other
regimental commanders were wounded.
The One Hundred and Fortieth lost 241
men, over half its strength, and the spirit
that moved the men was exhibited by a
stripling in the ranks who was warned to
‘shelter himself from the sharpshooters’
tori-ibis aim. Drawing himself to his full
height he swung his arms out defiantly, and
answered: “I am on the soil of Pennsylvania
now, and if they get me down they'll have to
shoot me down I"
When Sickles’ angle had been broken there
was anew rush from the Confederate line,
extending up the Emmitsburg road to Han-
cock’s front. As this latter officer came riding
down the field he saw a group of Southern
battle flags advancing toward Thomas’ regu~
161‘ battery, and there was no infantry at
hand excepting eight companies of the First

Gen. A. S. Wi 'ams’ division of the
Twelfth corps was hurrying over from Culp’s
Hill, and if the charging enemy could be
stayed for an instant a break in the line
could be prevented. Without a word of
parley Hancock ordered Colvill to “advance
and take those colors!" A‘Fpui'ticipunt says
that the little line arose as one man and
moved down the slope as though marching
in review. Cannon opened on them, rifles
blazed at them. One after another five color
bearers fell, but the standard did not go
down nor did the line waver, only as shells
tore it apart. All that survived went. (in

DESPERATE WORK a‘r DEVIL’S DER.
From Sieklos’ western front the battle
rolled around his southern front to Devil’s
Den, near Little Round Top. Into this vale
of death the division of Gen. S. W. Craw-
ford, of the Pennsylvania. reserves (Fifth
corps) was led in the “nick 0’. time” to save
the mountain key of the whole field. Craw-
ford’s official report says: “Our troops
(Sickles’) fell back, and the plain to our right
was covered with fugitives from all divisions,
who rushed through my lines totho rear.
Fragments of regiments came back without
their arms, and for a moment all seemed
lost. The enemy’s skirmishcn had reached
. the foot of the rocky ridge (Devil’s Den) ;' his
columns were following rapidly. My com-
mand was formed in two lines,thosecond
massed on the first. * o ~* Steadily,
remorselcfly, volley after volley was
'vancing Confederates, who found themselves
shut out from’their’ anticipated prize as by a
wall of flame. The charge of the Bucktails
(First rifles),sent them away in a race for the
shelter of their own lines. Young Taylor,
the leader, goes down before the gelling fire

flag of the Bircktails in view of all, and
most defiantly toward the hostile rifiemep on
the hills. The color bearer-wrapped a hand—
kerchief over his wound and ran beside the
leader’s horse, looking wistfully at the colors,
carried in his left hand.

First New York, and Ricketts’ Battery F,
First POnnsylvania. . The brigades of Hoke
and Hays of-Early’s division, filed along the
and bounding up the hill silenced Wiedrick’s
gunsat the first blow. Before the Confed-
erates reached his guns Ricketts’ poured 500
pounds of canister into their faces. His
tondemmre not to timber up under any cir-
cumstances, but fight the battery to the last.
Allthe infantry behind him had gone over
to the left to aid Sickles, and Ricketts stood
alone facing the Louisiana Tigers, Hays’
fearless fighters. The Tigers leaped tho
stonewall, spiked the left piece and bayo«
neted the men who served it. The remain-
ing' gunspoured in the canister until the
supply was used up and then fired case shot
(small shot in a case) as solid slugs. The
drivers . left their teams and replaced
the fallen cannoneers. The guidon bearér
shot down a Confederate lieutenant who
reached for his colors, and was in turn rid-
rammed the ’g-uidon staff into the ground.
Upon this marker, now, the other battery-
men rallied, and with their gun ruimncrs
heat off the impetuous Tigers. These bat-
terymen were Pennsylvanians, and the cry
was: .
“ th on our own soil rather than lose the
8!”
So Ricketts held on~until the sound of his
battle brought to the spot some infantry
from the adjoining lines, and under their
galliugfire the Tigers retired. The loss of
the Lonisianians was nearly200 killed and
wounded, and only 12 men of the brigade
actually reached the Union guns.

field hospital grounds on the Baltimore pike.
The first sight to attract him was Gen.
Sicklcs, on a stretcher. surrounded by sur-
geons preparing ooamputate the leg‘shattcred
by a bullet near the Wheat Field about two
hours before. When the chief surgeon
brought out the chloroform cup Sickles raised
himself up and said, with great emphasis:
“N c, you don’t; you canft chloroform me.”
He stood the operation heroically, and when
it was over the surgeon explained some pro-
vision he had made to give the general all
comfort the camp afforded for the night,
adding that early in the morning he should
be “sent on to Philadelphia.”

“Whatl”sbrieked the' impétuOus veteran,
“to-morrow morning—to Philadelphia? I’ll
start within fifteen minutes i”
There was a bustling and a. buzzing, the
surgeons, assistants and‘ ambulance masters
all joining in, and finally the surgeon said
he should start by midnight.
‘ “No!” said the general, arlmer now, but as
decided as ever, ”perhaps, I was too hasty;
I’ll give you one hour to start me on the road
to Philadelphia.” ‘_ '
The general then called for a cigar, and be-
fore darkness came on the blue streaks of

clan-go, the file from 138 cannon concentrated
on Meade’s left center. Under it, fell soldiers
with cigars between their lips‘or food in their
hands, while some were killed 'as they lay
sleeping or dozing. Eighty Union guns took
up the challenge in reply. Heads and Han
cock rode along the line on the ridge to em
courage the men to stand to their places, and
a band struck up “The Star Spangled Ban-
ner.” Lee and Longstreet exposed them-
selves to the fire on Seminary Ridge, and
under the inspiration of the scene men forgot,
as it were, that they were mortal, or else
dCSpiscd the thickening danger.
Under the cover of that fire came Piekett’s
column on their famous charge. The charg-
ing line really had three columns, Wilcox’
brigade and Pickett’s and Heth’s divisions,
although Pickett alone reached the Objective
point, the copsc of trees at Ziegler-’3 Grove.
This latter column moved one mile, the last
third of it under a sweeping canister fire.
The ground was so much exposed that the
Union Officers, when they saw the purpose of
peratc work done, though, and the men who
saved the line richly earned their glory. ,
The closing scene of this fight is told in the
Official report of Capt. Andrew Cowan, First
New York Independent battery:
“-3 * * I received orders to move to the
crest with Gen. Webb’s brigade, as the
enemy was advancing. I moved up at n.
gallop and came into position, several other
batteries on my right and left. The Con-
federate skirmishers had just commenced
firing, and their second line Was advancing
from the woods; * * * I commenced fir-
ing canister at 200 yards, and the effect was
greater than I anticipated. My last charge
(a double header) literally swept the enemy
from rdy front, being fired at less than
twenty yards. * * 4‘ My battery was the
only one remaining on this part of the hill,
the cannoueers being driven from ten pieces
on my right and toe batteries on my left
having retired.”
THE CAVALRY commas.
Instances of individual heroism in the
Union lines during this cannonade and
charge would include nearly every regiment
and battery engaged. The bravery of the
officers was conspicuous. Cashing, mortally
wounded, nerved himself for a parting shot;
Gibbon and Hancock were wounded \vbilc
directing an attack on the flank of Pickett’s
column,and Webb, severely hurt, and see-
ing the desperate situation of his brigade, re-
ceiving the full force of the assault, stag—
gered back to a battery and asked for a
couple of cannon to come to his aid.
' During the movements preliminary to the
great assault, Gen. Kilpatrick, with the
cavalry brigades o? Merritt and Farnsworth,
crossed over to.tbe west of Plum Run, belo 0/
the mountainous ridge where Longstre'ct’s
columns were resting after their fierce battle
of the second day, and attempted to seize
Emmitsbu ‘oad. Longstreet‘s successes in
pushing Sicknes back had opened this road to
the Confederates, who used it at this point
for bringing upsupplies. The ground here
was rough, cut tip by lanes and ridges, and
crossed by stone fences, which the infantry

turned to good account for breastworks.
Kilpatrick determined to have the horsemen
charge here, and when‘the order was given
to Fsrmworth’s brigade, the leader protested
that it was 110 field for cavalry exploits. The
commander then said that he would lead
Farnswortb’s brigade himself, but the latter
responded: “If my bflgadc is to go in I shall
go at the head of it," and the word was

effort ended in a.
moral disaster. But
the effect was such as to alarm the lines on
Longstreet’s' right, and a. whole division was
thus drawn of! from the column sent with
Pickett to charge Cemetery Ridge.
‘Equally brave and more brilliant in its
consequences was Gen. D. McA. Gregg’s
saber fight in Open field three miles east of
Gettysburg. To harass the rear of Meadc’s
army during the operations of assaulting the
ridge with Longstrect‘s infantry, Lee dis-
patched Gcn. Stuart, with four brigades, to

Gen. Fitz. Leo and Wade Hampton, and
0013. Chambliss und’Ferguson. To meet them
Gregg had the brigades of Custer, 'Irvin
Gregg and McIntosh: After someskii-mish-
. ing a stubborn battle was begun by the des-
tperato advance of Gregg to carry a ridge
crowned with Stuart’s batteries. All the
scattered troopers are soon drawn in. The
field in front of the batteries—on Itummel's
farm - is perfectly free for horsemen.
Fences have been removed, the surface
is smooth, and horsesmay gallop at will.
The first mounted charge was made by the
' First Virginia, and Custer led the Seventh
Michigan against them, crossing the whole
. cleared field to a. fence left standing, and
meeting them at saber’s length. This was
principally u. carbine fight, and the Michigan
boys were soon flanked and thrown back.
But the work was becoming exciting and
both sides stood ready to dash in at the most
advantageous point. Capt. 'William E.
Miller, of the Third Pennsylvania cavalry,
McIntosh’s brigade, describes what now took
place. About half a mile from the fence
where the First Virginia stood “there ap-
peared moving toward us a large mass of
cavalry, which proved to be portions of Fitz
Lee’s and Hampton’s brigades.‘ They were

Erect in their saddles, determihod in pur-

eyes are turned upon them, and it looms like
fully to resist. Undauutcd, however, our
troops rose to the situation. The batteries of
Chester on the righLQKinney in the center
and Pennington on the left (Union guns)
opened with well directed aim. Shell and
shrapnel met the advancing Confederates
and tore through their ranks. Closing up
.‘ the gaps, on they marched, and as they drew
nearer, canister was substituted by our
artillerymeu for shell, and horse after horse
staggered and fell. Still they come on. Our
.Inounted skirmishers milled and fell into
line; the dismounted men fell back, undo
few of them reached their horses. The
First Michigan, drawn up in close
columns of squadrons near Penning-
ton’s battery, was ordered by’ Gregg to

FIGHTING m son m.
This was the supreme moment, and McIn-
tosh gathered up some fmgmm, and with
them, and his headquarter guard and staff,
charged in beside “Cugtcr’s ma: Sim-
ultaneously two battalions of the Third
Pennsylvania and one of the First New
Jersey were buried down the flanks
of the Confederates, and all fell upon their
nearest opponents single bonded, and grud-
ually the assailants were forced back to
their old position, the ridge behind Rum-
mel's farm house. . - ' ‘ .-‘
. The shock of this battle was such that every
participant, and all within ‘souud, were
startled by the strange and terrific clamor.
The owner of the farm, Rummsl, was in his
house, and with an army and-itshorsss and
caution invading his yard and garden, was
fully prepared for startling experiences, but
when the charging columns met he wasso
astonished that be rushed out to secwhat
new thing under the sun had happened.
An incident of the severe fighting is given '
in Capt. Miller’s narrative. “In the midst of
the engagement, and immediately in front of
Rummel’s house, E. G. Eyster,of Company H,
Third Pennsylvania, captured a dismounted
Confederate and covered him 'with his

found on every hand evidences of the most
terrible encounters. Horses with their necks
broken, lay where they had met in the
charge. Men who had fought,” in a duel,
where found side by side. and the Union
saber and Southern pistol had done their
terrible execution with the combatants at
arm’s length.
During these exciting times the citizens of
Gettysburg and vicinity were not indifferent
to the fate of the Union arms. Many of the
active residents were already in service,
among them Gen. Crawford, Surgeon Tate,
of the Third cavalry, and other officers. The
reserves had one company whose members
fought on the 2d and 3d within sight of
their houses. When the Confederates first
crossed the border the students of the two
seminaries in the town formed an emergency
company and were ordered away to Harris-
bm'g by the governor, and a local company
of cavalry was formed, which did good
service as scouts and guides.
The fighting ended on the 3d, but the Con-
federates lingered in their camps two days.
On the 4th, as Gen. Lee was riding over the
field in front of the ridge, a wounded Union
soldier; raised himself from the ground, and
wavin his hand toward the men in y,
shou as loud as he could: “But for
the Union!" A member of Lee’s staff states
that the general dismounted and went up to
the soldier, took him by the hand, and re-
garding him with a, kind expression, said:
“My son, I hope you will soon be well of
your wound and return to your friends)?
Probably the saddest scenes on that field
were when the body of Reynolds was borne
away in the midst of the fighting and'tlie
hurrying movements of reserves coming on
at the sound of the guns. A short distance
below the town Hancock met the little cor-
tege and learned of Reynolds’ death and of
the state Of affairs at the front at the same
instant, for the first dispatches sent back to
headquarters had not revealed the truth, but
simply said that he was wounded. Next the
cortege reached Meade’s head uarters at
Taneytown and there the li elem form
confirmed the worst to Meade and his chiefs,
Warren, Hunt and. others.
