Rhige that lucky day and hour?

Lee wanted that stretch of uplands as a

A. 11. Hill's corps dashed for it.

The Confederates of Beth, Pettigrew and

Ask Reynolds. He is dead, but his deeds

Ask the Iron Brigade.

Ye.; ask the Twenty-fourth Michigan

men, who should know a little about it.

That regiment loot more men killed at

Gettysburg than any other of the 400 Union

regiments engaged. there.

It lost more killed and mortally wounded

there than any other Union regiment;

more killed and wounded altogether, soil

more killed, wounded anti captured than

any other. The captured didn't figure

very heavy, by the way. The Confederate

general, Ewell, tried to hag all of them .

that walked, at one stage of the fight, and

commenting on his experience to the col-

ouch commanding, Henry A. Morrow, after

the latter had been wounded anti made

prisoner, he said that the Twenty-fourth

Michigan was foolish in not surrendering;

before it was so badly cut up.

"Gen. Ewell, the Twenty-fourth Michi-

gan, came here to fight, not to surrender,"

was the reply.

The sound men who surrendered num-

bered 57: the sound men that stuck to the

flag and carried it out for another day, 99. )

The killed and mortally wounded were 90 {

and the wounded in addition, 238. Gem ;

Ewell thought such fighting was foolhardy.

That was lsecuiisCis men faced it, The

opposing generals different views.

Wadsworth, who coin) tided the division .

which the T*venly-f'.iish, belonged, said

to Wu-leader: "Col. Morrow, the only fault 1

I find Wrkti you is that you fought too long.

But Crud 0.141% knows what would have be-

come of the A nay of the Potomac if you hailnot held your ground as long as you did."

It will be idle, of course, to look tt111

farther than Gettysburg to get a good ac-

eount of t'`e Twentylourth Michigan in ,

the war lit' , hack of every grand deed lies

a cause, and back of Oak Ridge, Gettys-

burg, lie some important factors in the

, making of tha.history of that day.

TIle rfe-gifiThit was raised with a hurrah

in ten days, in Detroit and Wayne county,

and an incident that led to its formation

gives a clew to its makeup. When Liu

authority for a new regiment when there

were several others in the state still short

of men.The ranks were filled speedily by the

best blood in the county, 343 of the men

being Michigan born, 357 Americans born

in other states anti ffitil foreign born. Its

colonel was a Virginian by birth and bad

fought in Mexico. He was a judge in the

recorder's court. The lieutenant colons,'

was sheriff, a man standing 6 feet 4 hich

In his goots.

The regiment went direct to the Army of

the Potomac, reached there after Antie-

tam and bad its baptism of blood at First

Fredericksburg. Previous to that fight the

regiments brigaded with it shunned its

camps. They were the old,' war morn, bat-

The bens Brigade answered Reynolds'

call for tutelary at flettyslimg and went

in at double quick, fixing bayonets and

Setitioary Ridge they duetted, into the

woods, gnat Hey1101116 ma he atood on 11k poll

gaik-Arciter's Tennestwans-was coming

at full speed across Willoughby run to

seize the woods. The loin Brigade hWIIIIK

into horseallue shape atid kept on, the

Twenty-fourth crossing the run. In the

tiul Arclter's brigade was cut in two and

half captitreal, and the Iron Brigade rallied

and formed and changed front, charging

north on a new enemy. Sergt. Abel G.

Pec,k, who took the regiment's presenta-

tion banner out of Detroit, promising to

bring it home or fall with it, was the first

man killed in the regiment, and now to

save dotting this record with figures the

reader may count up the color guard heroes

of that day. Big six foot Col. Lanigan lost

thisThe first line of battle of the brigade after

It changed front was attacked right and :

left and Col. Morrow told his men to hold

their fire. They did so, but the enemy

didn't and down went another color bearer,

Bellore, who received the flag from Peck,

killed; acting major, Capt. Speed, killed,

anti other officers and many other men

wounded. The Confederate Twenty-sixth

North Carolina, the only regiment to dis-

pute the honors of the Twenty-fourth

Michigan on that field, cut into its line and

It retired to form a new one. Then occurred

the well known incident of the Confeder-

ates crying out in surprise at the way the

1.711100 boys fought: "Here are those black

hearted fellows again! This is no militia."

The Twenty-fourth had worn the polish

from its shoes, belts and uniforms. and

was quite as grimy though not so ragged

an the rest of the Iron Brigade and the

Army of the Potomac.

A second line of battle was formed and

the Twenty-fourth staid on it until a

windrow of fallen marked its position.

Overwhelmed it retired to a third line of

battle. Here Private August Earnest, who

picked up the colors when Bellore fell, was

killed. Col. Morrow banded the flag to

"THE COLONEL Ural:NOT Catlin' THE COLORS

WHILE I LIVE."

Color Corp. Andrew Wagner, the last of

the color guard, the others having been

shot down. Wagner planted the staff sev-

eral times under the colonel's directions to

rally the men, until lie, too, watt shot. Col.

Morrow then took the staff into his own

hands, for there were none left of his choseni

color guard to hear it. When Morrow

formed this guard he called for volunteers

who were "ironclad," so that tl‘e bullets

would roll off like hail from a mot. Alas,

the bullets flying in McPherson's woods

on July 1 were not of that kind.

A fourth line of battle found less than

half of the Twenty-fourth coming to rally.

Its major had lost an eye on the last line

and three lieutenants had been killed, and

the complement of officers was fast thin-

ning out. Col. Morrow planted the flag

with his own hauls, when Private William

Kelley renched for them with the thrill-

ing protest, "The colonel of the Twenty-

fourth Michigan shall not carry the colors

while I am alive."

Brave Kelley fell dead before he could

redeem his word and the flag passed into

the hands of another private. During all of

this bloody work around the colors soldiers

wereconstantly volunteering to act its color

guard in place of the guards shot down, a

post next in glory and it, danger to that of

color bearer. In that capacity Corp. Wil-

liam Ziegler was killed, Sergt. 1V. J. Nagle,

Corp. Thomas Suggett and Private Thomas

Ballou were mortally wounded between

the opening of the fight and the fifth line of

battle, which was formed at a rail fence on

Seminary Ridge near the seminary.

About this time old John Burns, the

veteran hero of Gettysburg, gravitating

among the men of the Iron 'Brigade to-

ward the hardest fighting and the hest

company, fell in with the Twenty-fourth

and fought with it until he had three bul

lets in his person.Before the sixth line of battle co

uld be

formed Cu!. Morrow, still carrying the

colors, was hit in the head. He turned the

command over to Capt. A. M. Edwards

and soon fell into the enemy's hands. Ths
