ered where one could go; And the breeze was alive with laughter Till the boatmen began to row. And many a brave, stout fellow Who sprang in the boats with mirth Ere they made that fatal crossing Was only lifeless earth. Cheer after cheer we sent them As only Armies can,— Cheers for old Massachusetts.— Cheers for Young Michigan. They formed in line of battle, Not a man was out of place; Then with levelled steel they hurled them Straight in the rebel's face.

The first conspicuous service rendered by Massachusetts troops in the attack on Fredericksburg was in crossing the river in boats in face of a severe fire on Dec. 11, 1862.
Bridges were being laid across the river, a work so impeded by Confederate sharpshooters that in the afternoon volunteers were called for by Col. N. J. Hall to cross in boats and dislodge the enemy.
Three regiments of Colonel Hall's brigade volunteered, the 7th Michigan and the 19th and 20th Mass. In the words of Maj.-Gen. O. O. Howard, commanding the division, The 7th Michigan passed over not far from 3 P. M. The 19th Mass. followed immediately at about 3.30 P. M., it having been nec
