ted to the shadows of coming events, Mudge would still have rung out, as he threw himself at the head of his regiment, to die at Gettysburg, Forward the Second! It is murder, but it is an order. Dwight would still have traced with fainting hand, as his life-blood was wasting away at Antietam, I think I die in victory. Shaw would still have moved forward, though before him had opened the path which later led to his noble death on the parapet of Wagner. Savage, Abbott, and Cary, Williams, Goodwin, and Perkins, would not have faltered if before them had been mirrored their own silent forms clasped in the cold embrace of death on the field of Cedar Mountain; nor would the rank and file that made so rich the history of the Second, with their sublime courage on many historic fields, have put away the cup from their lips, but would have drunk it even to the very dregs.

The men ate every miserable, crabbed green apple they came across, and, in short, so violated every sanitary regulation that it was no wonder typhoid fever marked them for its own. The Second Regiment suffered, but in a less degree. Poor Captain Goodwin, having been sick for nearly two months, applied at Little Washington for leave of absence; but was answered, it is said, that if he was as sick as he represented, he had better resign. On the 7th about 28,000 men of Pope's army For a full return of the Army of Virginia, Major-General John Pope commanding, on the 31st of July, 1862 (from official records of the War of the Rebellion, series i. vol.

On the extreme right of the Second was brave Captain Goodwin, fighting Company K most valiantly and fearlessly; and in front was Captain Abbott with his company, in the open fiet and on flank, full and fierce the storm tore through and around us. The crash was terrific; it was indescribable. Captain Goodwin fell dead, and with him over twenty of his men; fifteen more were missing Major Savage, opposite the right and rear,nstantly killed or mortally wounded. The losses of the Second had been terrible: Captains Abbott, Cary, Williams, and Goodwin, and Lieutenant Perkins, were dead; Major Savage was mortally wounded and a prisoner; Captain Quincy and Lieutenant MillA.
