During the battle-so closely were the forces engaged— several color bearers were shot down and half of the Nineteenth were either killed, wounded or captured. Among the latter was Colonel Edmund Rice, in command of the regiment, and in this action the regiment also lost one of its bravest officers, First Lieutenant John J. Ferris, of Boston. He was shot in the head during the charge on the rebel works. The Corps captured 5,000 prisoners, including Major General Edward Johnson and Brigadier General George H. Stewart, over thirty stands of colors and 18 cannon. Sergeant Charles B. Brown, of Co. G, bearing the regimental colors, was struck by the fragments of a shell which burst near him.

Viall, were not spared to this proud honor, having met a soldier's death during the present campaign. The regiment had to lament the loss of Lieut. John J. Ferris, who had been promoted from the rank of private, step by step, for soldierly qualities, but particularly for his coolness and bravery in action.
