COLONEL HUBBARD'S BRAVERY.

Two instances of remarkable bravery evinced by soldiers from this county have become a part of our national history. The first was at the battle of Corinth, in October, 1862. The report says that the "5th Minnesota closed the gap which saved the day at Corinth." The 5th Minnesota was at that time under the leadership of Colonel L. F. Hubbard, of this county. General Stanley, who commanded the division to which this regiment was attached, accords the above credit to it on the field of battle. The following extract from a letter from General Rose- erans tells how the aet was accomplished :

"Colonel Mower had ordered the 5th Minnesota to guard the bridge across the Ruscumbia, when with the remainder of the brigade he went to help Davies. Late in the evening Colonel Hubbard brought up his regiment and formed facing westward on the Mobile & Ohio railway, with its left near the depot, where they bivouacked for the night. On the next morning, when the enemy from the north assaulted our line and forced it back a few hundred yards into the edge of the town, Colonel Hubbard. moving by his right flank, faced the coming storm from that «marter, and by his promptitude anticipated General Stanley's order from me to use the reserves of his division in meeting the enemy's charge. He drove back the fragments of his columns, overtaking and bringing back some pieces. without horses, of our reserve artillery. which the enemy had seized, and cover- ing the retiring of a battery which had gone too far to the front. Veterans could hardly have acted more opportunely and effectively than did the gallant 5th Minnesota on that occa- sion .- W. S. Rosecrans. "

HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY

COLONEL COLVILL'S CHARGE.

The second was an act of the 1st Minnesota at the battle of Gettysburg. in July. 1863. It appears that two companies had been detached as skirmishers, while the remaining eight com- panies, consisting of 262 men, were sent to the center of the line. just vacated by Sickles' advance to support battery C of the 4th United States Artillery. The following is quoted from the history of the regiment: "No other troops were then near us, and we stood by this battery in full view of Siekles' troops in Peach Orchard, half a mile to the front. With the gravest appre- hension we saw Sickles' men give way before the heavier forces of Longstreet and Hill and come back slowly at first and rallying at short intervals, but at length broken and in utter disorder. rushing down the slope. across the low ground and up the slope on our side and past our position to the rear, followed by a strong force. There was no organized force to oppose them except our handful of 262 men. Most soldiers in the face of the near advance of such an overpowering force would have caught the panie and joined the retreating masses. But the 1st Minne- sota had never vet retired without orders. nor deserted any post, and desperate as the situation seemed, and as it was, they stood firm against whatever might come.

"Just then General Hancock, with a single aid, rode up at full speed and for a moment vainly endeavored to rally Sickles' retreating force. Reserves had been sent for but were too far away to hope to reach the critical position until it would be ocen- pied by the enemy. unless that enemy were stopped. Quickly leaving the fugitives, Hancock spurred to where we stood, call- ing out as he reached us. 'What regiment is this?' '1st Minne- sota,' replied Colonel Colvill. 'Charge those lines,' commanded Hancock. Every man realized in an instant what that order meant-death or wounds to us all; the sacrifice of the regiment to gain a few minutes' time and save the position, and probably the battlefield. and every man accepted the sacrifice, responding to Colvill's orders, rapidly given. The regiment, in perfect line, with arms at 'right shoulder shift,' was in a moment sweeping down the slope directly upon the enemy's center. No hesitation, no stopping to fire, though the men fell fast at every stride, before the concentrated fire of the whole Confederate force di- rected upon us as soon as the movement was observed. Silently, without orders, and almost from the start. double-quick had changed to utmost speed. for in utmost speed lay the only hope that any of ns would pass through that storm of lead and strike the enemy. 'Charge!' shouted Colvill. as we neared their first line ; and with leveled bayonets at full speed, we rushed upon it :

520

HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY

fortunately it was slightly disordered in crossing a dry run at the foot of the slope. The men were never made who will stand against leveled bayonets coming with such momentum and evi- dent desperation. The first line broke as we reached it, and rushed back through the second line, stopping the whole ad- vance. We then poured in our first fire, and availing ourselves of such shelter as the low bank of the dry brook afforded, held the entire force at bay for a considerable time, and until our reserves appeared on the ridge we had left. Had the enemy rallied quickly to a countercharge, its great number would have crushed us in a moment. But the ferocity of our onset seemed to paralyze them for a time, and although they poured upon us terrible and continuons fire from the front and enveloping our flanks, they began to retire, and we were ordered back. What Ilancock had given us to do was done thoroughly. The regiment had stopped the enemy, held back its mighty force and saved the position. But at what a sacrifice! Nearly every officer was dead or lay weltering with bloody wounds, our gallant colonel and every officer among them. Of the 262 men who made the charge, 215 lay upon the field stricken down by the rebel bul- lets ; forty-seven were still in line, and not a man was missing." General Ilaneock, speaking of this charge, is reported to have said: "There is no more gallant deed recorded in history. I ordered those .men in there because I saw I must gain five min- utes time. Reinforcements were coming on the run, but I knew before they could reach the threatened point the Confederates, unless checked. would seize the position. I would have ordered that regiment in if I had known that every man would be killed. It had to be done, and I was glad to find such a gallant body of men at hand willing to make the terrible sacrifice that the occasion demanded."

Colonel William Colvill, who was a figure of national prom- inence, by reason of his memorable feat at Gettysburg, was of Scotch descent on his father's side and Irish on his mother's, his ancestors on both sides having participated in the American Revolution. He was born in Chautauqua county, New York, read law in the offices of Fillmore & Haven. in Buffalo, N. Y., and was admitted to the bar in 1851. He became a resident of Red Wing in 1854, and the following year established the Red Wing "Sentinel." a Democratic paper, which he conducted until the outbreak of the Civil War. He enlisted as captain in the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry and was promoted for gallantry, to the coloneley of the regiment, and finally mustered out of the service by reason of wounds, with the brevet rank of brigadier general. He was elected attorney general of the state in 1865, and was appointed register of the land office at Duluth by Presi-

dent Cleveland. He served in the house in 1878. His death occurred June 12, 1905. Memorials to his fame have not been lacking. A part of his farm is now the Colvill Memorial park, at Red Wing. In 1907 the state of Minnesota appropriated $10,000 for the erection in the capitol building of an heroic bronze figure of Colonel Colvill. A replica was also erected at the place of Colonel Colvill's burial in Cannon Falls. It is a lasting regret to Red Wing people that his remains did not find their last resting place in the city where he spent the greater part of his life.
