During the forenoon of the 3d, it was comparatively quiet; but about one o'clock, the great artillery duel between the Union and rebel armies began, and for two hours the heavens and earth, woods, hill and dales, resounded, yea trembled, with the thunder of more than two hundred guns. Then came the terrible charge of Longstreet's Corps, with a crash of musketry scarcely less terrific to listen to. Although we were not in a position to witness the charge or the cannonade, we were frequently reminded that there was some- thing besides thunder in the air; for now and then a solid shot or bursting shell (fired at random) fell in the field before us, or went whizzing and screaming over our heads. I remember a solid shot came unpleasantly near us. Several of our company were sitting close behind the wall, while our Major was sitting a little way back, near a rock, and on higher ground. The shot (which, I should say, was a twelve pound one), just cleared the wall and the Major's head,-removing his hat for him, and, striking the rock, glanced off some thirty feet to the ground, where one of our company picked it up.
The 4th of July was a sad day, instead of a holiday, to me, for I was sent with three comrades of my company to search out and bury our dead, which we found and buried where they fell. They had lain so long, it was with difficulty we could recognize them among the many that lay scattered over that field, known as the Wheat Field, which Colonel Batchelder in his accu- rate and vivid description of the battle, as represented by his celebrated painting, designates as the Whirlpool of the battle of Gettysburg.
The same narrator gives this concluding paragraph of his expe- rience :
I was finally sent to Dale General Hospital, Worcester, where I arrived January 10, 1865, and where I remained about eight months. During my stay there, I was most of the time on duty, having been detailed as Baggage
629
BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG.
Master for the hospital, although suffering from an open wound. As I was on duty only five hours a day, I was allowed a pass to go where I chose from 3 to 9 o'clock, P. M. Occasionally, I was granted a furlough of a few days to visit home. On the 3d of July, as I was passing through Boston on my way to Newton, I learned that our regiment had returned from the seat of war, and was then on the Common. Without delay I hastened to meet and greet those of my old comrades, who had weathered the storm of thirty battles,-the names of which had been authorized to be inscribed upon our banner. Many were the faces that I missed from the ranks of the 32d, who had received an honorable discharge upon the battle-field, and many more, who, like myself, had been permanently disabled, were absent,- not having been permitted to share in the honors of our brigade, in being selected to receive the arms and equipments of Lee's army, after his surrender to General Grant.
The day following the return of our regiment being the 4th of July, the Colonel dismissed the men for a few days, with orders to report on the island for their final settlement and discharge from service.
When my furlough expired, I returned to the hospital, where I remained till the 22d of September, when, at my request, although still suffering severely from my wound, I received my discharge.
CHAPTER XLVII.
NEWTON IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION .- SOLDIERS FOR VARI- OUS PERIODS .- MEN ENLISTED IN THE NAVY .- DECORATION DAY.
THE following catalogue contains the names of all soldiers, resi- dents of, or credited to, Newton, who served in the army during the war of the Rebellion, 1861-5. The list embraces, first, the names of soldiers who served for short terms, as three months, one hundred days, and nine months, with the rank of each, or department of service, company, date of muster in, and of close of service ; then, the Light Artillery, Heavy Artillery and Cav- alry, enlisted for longer terms of service ; afterwards, the Infantry enlisted for long terms, as three years, and enlistments in the Regular Army and Veteran Reserve Corps. The Roll is taken from the official Record of Massachusetts Volunteers.
The names of many of these men have been unknown to fame. They never acted a conspicuous part in the management of pub- lic affairs. They moved in the obscurer paths of life among their fellow-citizens. If they quietly dropped their votes in the ballot box, and fulfilled faithfully the duties of their various relations, their fidelity is their highest praise, and they have no need of human panegyric. But in the great field of strife to which they were called, every name has a value, and every act of bravery and endurance is worthy to be recorded with praise. Every soldier who went into the conflict, and was eager in that conflict to do his duty, filled an important niche, and his presence and prowess, un- doubtedly, contributed to the triumph of our arms and the integ- rity of the Union. Human registers may tell only that they lived and died ; but the free institutions of the country which they hon- ored by their public spirit and their valor, and consecrated by their blood, will be their undying monument.
