Pennsylvania, under Col. George A. Cogham Jr., and four pieces of Knapp's battery-all told, some 1400 men. About 5.30 P. M. the two brigades went into camp on a timbered mound near Wauhatchie, at the base of Look- out Mountain. Aware of his isolated position, Gen. Geary took every precaution to guard his camp. The 78th New York was deployed to the rear, and the 29th Pennsylvania, Col. Wil- liam Richards Jr., was thrown out on the wooded front and flanks and along Lookout creek. Between II P. M. and midnight, the moon shining dimly among the rocks and trees, picket-firing aroused the camp. Word came through Col. Richards of the presence of the enemy near the foot of the mountain. The IIIth Pennsylvania was formed on the right, with its right resting on a railroad embank- ment ; the 109th Pennsylvania and 137th New York took position on the left, and the 149th New York at the left and near. Knapp's four guns, a captain, first lieutenant and forty-eight men, were posted on a knoll a short distance to the rear of the right centre. Although un- known at the moment, the line of the enemy's vastly superior force overlapped the Union line a long ways. The first picket firing ceased and the camp was soon again at rest. A half hour after midnight there was a sharp resump- tion of fire. The pickets came tumbling back and were placed in support of the battery. Immediately the troops, each man having sixty rounds of ammunition, got back into line again, but by the time they were ready to receive the enemy he was seen to be within three hundred yards and rapidly advancing. As a part of the command was guarding wagons to the left, only about nine hundred muskets could be brought to bear. These were speedily enveloped front, right and left. The Hampton Legion advanced against the Union left ; the 2d South Carolina and the Palmetto sharpshooters ap- peared on the right, and the First, Fifth and Sixth South Carolina descended upon the front. Longstreet says that the 'Union forces were in the centre of a circular converging fire.' But the two little brigades were not the only things endangered. They covered Kelly's ferry on the Tennessee river. If they should succeed in saving this ferry, boats could pass up the river to Chattanooga, where the Union army was on small rations; if they should lose it, those rations might be reduced to starvation size and the further advance of the Union troops jeopardized. Only a few days before, Jefferson Davis, gazing down from Lookout, had seen much to raise his hopes of Union dis-

comfiture. Thus, with so much depending upon the issue, the attack was ferocious and the defense stubborn and heroic. From the start the fire was deadly, and it was continu- ously fierce. The gun roar so close under the mountain walls multiplied itself in echoes. Cap- tain Atwell, of the battery, was mortally wound- ed, living but a few hours. Gen. Geary's son, Lieutenant Geary, was shot through the brain, and most of the sergeants were either killed or wounded. So were twenty-four of the forty- eight men, and eighty per cent. of the horses went down under the withering fire.
"Captain Davis and Major Veale, of Geary's staff, both mounted, were constantly on the front line or with the battery until the wounds of the former made it necessary that he should be borne from the field. Major Veale, then with the battery, was a target for many shots in the gun flashes. His horse was slightly wounded. A ball passed through his shirt collar, another through his hat; another through his coat, another through his right shoulder. When the shot pierced his shoul- der, his arm fell, causing him to lose con- trol of his horse, which reared, plunged and threw Major Veale headforemost into the bat- tery. He got upon his feet and placed his arm in a sling. His horse was caught for him and he was assisted into the saddle. Companies C and G, of the 29th Pennsylvania, in the ab- sence of artillery horses, dragged one of the guns to the right flank so as to gain an enfi- lading fire upon the enemy. Major Veale rode to the front and helped to place the gun and arrange for its defense. He remained upon the field until the three-hours' battle was over. Before daylight, when the enemy's fire had ceased, Major Veale volunteered to go alone outside the lines and reconnoitre. Orders were passed along the line for the Union troops to withhold their fire, and Major Veale moved forward. Having gone about one hundred yards he saw the figures of men in the dim light. He ordered the men to surrender, and went at them. They threw down their guns, and followed him into the Union lines-nine prisoners-of whom one was a lieutenant. The body of the enemy had retired up the moun- tain, leaving 157 dead upon the field. The prisoners taken numbered 135, mostly wound- ed. General Hooker, who arrived at Wau- hatchie that morning, expressed great surprise at the evident ferocity of the struggle. It was for his unsurpassed bravery in this action that Major Veale was voted his Medal of Honor. "Upon the consolidation of the 11th and 12th
Corps, Major Veale, who was commissioned major May 4, 1864, became identified with the 2d Division, 20th Corps. He took part in the battles of Missionary Ridge, Rock Face Ridge, Ringgold, Nickajack Trace, Snake Creek Gap, Dalton, Resaca, Cassville, Dallas, and Kene- saw Mountain. At Rocky Face Ridge he assisted in reforming the left of the Second Division line and led the charge mounted. For this act of gallantry he was mentioned in Gen- eral orders by the division commander. At Pine Knob, on June 14, 1864, Major Veale was again severely wounded. His horse was shot from under him while he was charging up the steep ridge, and a ball passed through his right lung. This necessitated a temporary absence, but Major Veale rejoined the Army of the Cumberland in time to participate in the siege and capture of Atlanta, the march through Georgia, and siege and cap- ture of Savannah. Here occurred an inter- esting incident. Geary rested on the river, constituting Sherman's extreme left. As soon as the troops were in position, Major Veale set out in a boat, with three blacks as oarsmen, passed a Confederate battery, and landed at a rice village on the upper end of an island which stretched down stream, lapping the city and its river-front fortifications. The villagers, all colored, received him with prayers and songs. Three of them guided him to a point on the island directly opposite the city's centre. He noted the lay of the batteries and their strength, and gathered other data of value, keeping under cover of the rice dykes as much as possible. But the stir among the plantation hands excited the enemy's suspicions, and a detachment of graycoats landed on the lower end of the island, and Major Veale made a hurried exit from the upper. Through Genls. Geary and Slocum the facts gathered passed to Gen. Sherman. Major Veale was brevetted colonel on January 16, 1865. But the end was drawing near. Passing northward with Sher- man, Major Veale was in action at Averysboro, Bentonville and Bennett's, North Carolina, and accompanied the victors to Washington. There he was discharged, June 8, 1865.
"Few soldiers received more sterling praise from their commanders than did Major Veale in war time. That spendid fighter, Gen. Kane, speaking of Chancellorsville, states that 'Lieu- tenant Veale showed much gallantry in the action on Sunday last' (May 6, 1863). Gen. Geary asked Governor Curtin to appoint the Lieutenant to the colonelcy of the regiment, its only field officer, Colonel Slainrook, having

died in Veale's arms. And he (Geary) placed on file at Washington this brief eulogium : 'Veale was the bravest of the brave.' Gen. Hooker writes, 'I knew Major Veale well dur- ing the late war, and I regarded his services on the staff of Gen. Geary as being the most able and distinguished of all his officers, among whom were many of brilliant reputations.' And Gen. Geary never tired of praising him. Gen. Geary, in his report of the re-opening of the Tennessee river, October 28-29, 1863, officially tenders his thanks to Captain Veale, assistant commissary of musters, and mentions his being slightly wounded.
"General Geary, 2nd Division, 20th Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland, in his report of the battle of Mill Creek Gap, May 8, 1864, says : 'I must mention with especial commenda- tion Major Veale, of my staff, who exhibited more than ordinary gallantry, forming the troops and assisting personally in the heroic assault made to the very summit of the ridge.' General Geary, in his report of the battle of Pine Hill, Georgia, June 15, 1864, mentions the severe wounding of Major Veale, assistant commissary of musters, acting aide-de-camp, and in summing up his report of the Atlanta (Georgia) campaign, speaks of 'the brave Major Veale.' Gen. Geary, in his report of the siege of Savannah, Georgia, December II to 21, 1864, says, 'Major Veale, aide-de-camp of my staff, crossed alone in a canoe to Hutchin- son's Island, Savannah river, and walked the entire length, reconnoitred the enemy's position along the river, returned safely, bringing valu- able information. General Orders No. I, Decem- ber 23, 1864, Gen. Geary commanding the City of Savannah, announces among his staff officers Major Moses Veale, aide-de-camp.
"It was Gen. Slocum who named Major Veale to the president for the Medal of Honor, and his comrades in the order have paid him the high compliment of electing him com- mander of the Legion. He has also served at junior vice commander of the Loyal Legion ; is a member of Post 2, G. A. R. ; president of Philadelphia Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, and member of Blue Lodge, 211, F. and A. M.
"Like many another man who came out of the war all the better for the lead that was in him, Major Veale has had a distinguished career in civil life-useful, as well as distin- guished, and most honorable in every way. For a while he was in Montana, first as United States attorney and then as clerk of Indian Affairs ; but his days have been mainly spent
in Philadelphia. He was nominated for com- mon council in February, 1876, and in Novem- ber of the same year for the state senate. He was appointed health officer in 1882, and again in 1891. It was he who originated the idea of conducting a scientific compaign against the spread of tuberculosis. Perhaps no words, however warm and emphatic, could give so clear an idea of the part borne by Major Veale in the life of Philadelphia as the following memorandum of his duties in this, his 73rd year. He is treasurer of the League for Work among Colored People in the Diocese of Penn- sylvania ; treasurer of the Church Club ; treas- urer of the Boys' Club ; rector's warden of the Parish of St. Philip's Episcopal Church ; mem- ber of the vestry of the Church of the Cruci- fixion ; trustee and manager of the House of Industry for Discharged Prisoners; trustee of the Home for the Homeless; trustee for St. Michaels and All Angels, and for the Home for Colored Children (Crippled) ; member of the board of incorporators of Hays Mechanics' Home; member of the Episcopal Board of Missions ; member of the board of managers of the Free and Open Church of the Episcopal Church of the United States, and that of the Society for the advancement of Christianity in Pennsylvania; member of the Pennsylvania Club, and of the Historical Society of Pennsyl- vania.
"A few words as to Major Veale's home life. He married Emma MacDonald, whose great- great-great-grandfather was Donald MacDon- ald, one of the Free Quakers of the Revolu- tionary War. Her mother was the great-great- great-granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Wynne, who came over as William Penn's surgeon on the ship 'Welcome.' Companion Veale's chil- dren are William MacDonald Veale, married to Miss Blanche Graham, and Elizabeth Sharpe, married to Herbert Morris, who is the son of a veteran. The first named will inherit the Medal.
"At the beginning of this sketch, it was sug- gested that, in 1861, Major Veale stood for a stype of the patriotic, God-fearing young man- hood of America. With equal truth it may now be added that throughout his career he has stood for a type of the best American citizen- ship. Spirited, zealous, plain-spoken, he has never flagged or grown luke-warm. Personally a man of marked courtesy and grace of man- ner, he gives no quarter to men or things that make for evil, or threaten to undermine our beneficent democracy. Deliberate and exact in speech, his utterances are clear and forceful.

To hear him denounce the sinister forces that tend to bring on blight of manhood, is to hear that same voice that spoke in the roar of Wau- hatchie, where he stood up for the perpetua- tion of our American heritage, so dear to his heart.
"Major Veale's young brother, Delany Sharpe Veale, a handsome boy of seventeen, was killed by his side at Gettysburg on the second day of the battle, and the Major, with his own hands, buried the young martyr on the line of battle, then, returning to duty, he left the boy to rest in glory where he had stood with his comrades and, at the last, had given his life for his country. When the fighting was over and Companion Veale could be spared from the front, he returned to Gettysburg, took up the body and re-interred it at Roadstown, New Jersey, in the old family burying-grounds. In all the history of that sad war, can one think of anything more pathetic than this incident? And yet, it was only one of many thousands of a similar nature."

(VI) Francis Brewster, son of REEVES Johnson and Elizabeth (Riley) Reeves, was born in Bridgeton, Cumberland county, New Jersey, October 10, 1836, and is now living in Philadelphia, Penn- sylvania. He received his early education at private schools, and at Harmony Academy, Bridgeton, with occasional intervals of vaca- tion during which he was employed as a clerk in his father's store, until April 23, 1852. when his school books were dropped for a business life. Three days later, while still only fifteen years old, he entered the drygoods store of Joel Fithian, Bridgeton, where he remained until October 3, 1852, when he engaged himself to W. H. Thompson to learn the watch repair- ing and jewelry business. About eighteen months later, March 9, 1854, he became a clerk in the Girard Bank of Philadelphia, which posi- tion he resigned in October, 1858, in order to enter the office of N. B. Thompson & Com- pany, wholesale grocers, Philadelphia. Febru- ary I, 1859, he became a member of this firm, and up to the present time has continued as a member of that firm and its successors, now and since 1865 known as Reeves, Paroin & Company. He was ordained a ruling elder in the Wakefield Presbyterian Church, German- town, Philadelphia, May 4, 1874, has been superintendent of its Sunday school since 1879. and is a trustee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. He has also served
as a member of the Presbyterian Board of Education and of the Presbyterian Board of Publication and the Sabbath School Work. He was chairman of the executive committee of the noted municipal reform "Committee of One Hundred" of Philadelphia, 1881-83. In February, 1888, he was appointed by the judges of the court of common pleas of Philadelphia, member of the Philadelphia board of public education, and controller of the Twenty-second School Section, but resigned two years later. On the occasion of the Johnstown, Pennsyl- vania, flood in 1889, he was appointed by the mayor of Philadelphia a member of the "Citi- zens' Permanent Relief Committee of Phila- delphia," and by appointment of Governor James A. Beaver was chairman of the "Com- mittee on Annuities to Johnstown Flood Or- phans" of the State Relief Committee. As representative of the city of Philadelphia and its permanent relief committee he was com- missioned to visit Russia in the spring of 1892 to deliver and distribute a cargo of food sup- plies sent on the steamship "Conemaugh" for the relief of the sufferers by famine in that country, and Emperor Alexander III. recog- nized his personal service by the presentation to him of a costly punch set of seven pieces in silver and gold. Mr. Reeves was elected di- rector of the Girard National Bank in 1881, was re-elected for seventeen successive years, January 3, 1896 was chosen vice-president, and July 18, 1899, became president of the bank, a position he still holds. He is also president of the Philadelphia Belt Line Railroad, first vice-president of the Philadelphia Bourse, a member of the board of managers of the Ger- mantown Saving Fund Society, a director of the Philadelphia Mortgage and Trust Com- pany, of the Delaware Insurance Company, of the advisory board of the Germantown Real Estate Deposit and Trust Company, a member of the boards of managers of the Merchants' Fund and of the Mercantile Beneficial Asso- ciation, of the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, and president of the Clearing House Association of the Banks of Philadel- phia. He is also a member of the Art Club of Philadelphia, of the Germantown Cricket Club, of the Science and Art Club of German- town, and of the Civil Service Reform Asso- ciation of Philadelphia, and member of the board of trustees of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America.
