36. where is that flag, Oh! where? by W. H. Hayward. At the battle of Carnifax Ferry, Va., the color-bearer of the Tenth Ohio regiment, Fitzgibbons, who was terribly wounded, as he lay dying, looked frantically to a companion, and not seeing the colors which he himself carried and grasped with a dying tenacity after he fell, exclaimed, in paroxysms of despair, his life-blood flowing: Where is that flag, O heavens! where is it? keep it and preserve it. These were his last dying word And as he gasping now beheld His flag beside.him there, He died, a soldier's glorious death; “Preserve that flag!” his prayer. With the above came the following: To the Colonel of the Tenth Ohio regiment, or any officer who was a friend of Fitzgibbons, brave, noble, true-hearted color-bearer of the Tenth Ohio regiment, who fell at the battle of Carnifax Ferry, this little song is respectfully forwarded with the compliments of the author. Wm. H. Hayward, J. P., Baltimore City, Maryla
