I would not have believed, without actual experience, that flesh, blood and muscle could stand what we have stood. I have been for several days in command of the division.

He had repulsed an attack on his line, and was again furiously assailed by a fresh column. Seeing the enemy were concentrating their efforts at that point I extended my line so as to place one of my regiments (the Thirty-seventh) behind him, and informed him I would su

He was a very gallant General, stood high in the estimation of his superior officers, and I often heard would have been promoted but for his untimely death. General A. P. Hill, in his report of the battle of Sharpsburg, says: The Confederacy has to mourn the loss of a gallant soldier and accomplished gentleman, who fell in this battle, at the head of his brigade, Brigadier-General L.
