the altar of the country he loved so well, and whose memory is embalmed in the heart of every surviving member of the Second corps. Oh, no; none of this! The only object is simply to put upon record, for history, those men and comrades who, at the time, had no one to do that duty for them. The brigade, composed of the First and Third North Carolina, and the Tenth, Twenty-third and Thirty-seventh Virginia regiments of infantry, was, a short time after the battle of Chancellorsville, in May, 1863, placed under the command of General George H. Steuart, of the Maryland Line, and followed him in the Gettysburg campaign, through all the campaigns of 1863, and down to the 12th of May, 1864, in all of which it bore itself with a conspicuous gallantry, and many times received the laudation of its division and brigade commanders.

Captain Landon did not name the brigade to which he referred, but I am informed that he stated afterwards that he referred to the Stonewall Brigade. This is a total mistake, and does the grossest injustice to as brave a body of men as ever carried a musket. So far as the part taken by that brigade in that engagement is concerned, I am entirely familiar with it, as I commanded the Fourth Virginia infantry, one of its regiments, and therefore know, from personal observation, what I write. I need not go over the history of General Jackson's flank movement and i
