IN THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN.
The Eighth New Jersey Regiment, Colonel John Ramsey, when ordered into action advanced across the wheat-field, taking position behind a stone wall, from whence they were ordered further to the right, placing them in an exposed position, with the stone wall on their left, and a rocky hill on their right. In front of this position there was a thick brush, big tim- ber and rising ground, beyond which was a ravine with a hill on the other side. A few fence rails that were lying about were quickly seized upon and made to form a slight protection before the coming storm of battle should strike them. The only troops in front were a few of Berdan's sharpshooters. While some of the men were gathering fence rails they discovered Kershaw's column of troops approaching in line of battle to the attack of De Trobriand's position, on the left of whose line they were, and quickly gave the alarm. In a few minutes the enemy came into full view, and then ensued a sharp, severe and bloody struggle. The Eighth fought with the gallantry and bravery which proved them worthy followers of the heroic Kearny. Their ranks were rapidly thinned, and as they fell slowly back, their colors became entangled in a tree. The remnant of brave fellows rallied around them with cheers and re-formed to meet the advancing foe. At this point the Eighth was subjected to a severe musketry fire and sustained heavy losses. Colonel Ramsey was wounded, and the command of the regi- ment devolved upon Captain John Langston, of Com- pany K. A brigade of the Fifth Corps came into line

The Seventh New Jersey Regiment suffered consid- erably from the artillery fire of the enemy while lying in support of the batteries, a number of men being killed and wounded. A ball from one spherical case- shot exploding overhead, plunged into the neck of Corporal Eugene Pollard of Company K as he lay on his face in the ranks. His brother and file-mate picked him up for dead and carried his body back to the woods and rocks where the regiment first formed, lay- ing him down where he might be found again, when they returned to their places .* One shell came
screaming over the regiment from the left to the right and plunging into the ranks exploded, killing two or three and wounding several others, among the latter Second Lieutenant Stanley Gaines of Company K, who was detailed to the command of another company, which had no commissioned officer present.
At last when the fighting was the fiercest at Little Round Top, the Devil's Den and the wheat-field, the Seventh became exposed to a shower of flying bullets at their backs. The regiment changed front to the left by the right flank, bringing them to face the lane and moving a few hundred feet over toward the Emmetsburg road, and nearer to Trostle's lane. Just at this time the artillery, in order to escape the advanc- ing lines of Longstreet's hosts, limbered up and came hastening to the rear from the Peach Orchard and

from the field. One battery coming straight toward the Seventh Regiment, caused the right four com- panies to separate from the line, thus causing a gap, and to avoid being crushed to death by the reckless drivers of the battery, were forced across Trostle's lane. The artillery became temporarily blocked in the lane, the anxiety of the drivers caused them to lap their horses over the pieces and caissons in front of them, thus effectually preventing the right four companies of the Seventh from rejoining their colors and the other six companies on the south side of the lane. Simul- taneously with this blockade in Trostle's lane, came the rebel lines into the sunken road, running from the Emmetsburg pike to Round Top, and with colors planted on this natural breastwork, they opened a galling fire upon the Seventh New Jersey and the Second New Hampshire which, falling back from its first position at the extreme angle in the Peach Orchard, had made this its last stand, in the field about midway between the two roads. The right of the Seventh, which was then the color company of the regiment commanded by Captain Hillyer, rested under a single tree that still stands on the fence line of Tros- tle's lane. The regiment could not return with any effect the fire of the rebel line, as nothing but the slouch hats of their men were visible ; they were unable to lie down in the lane owing to the blockade of the artillery, and there was no other shelter for the gal- lant veterans of the Seventh, who had no thought of leaving the field without firing one shot at the enemy

at least, before the guns were safely withdrawn. Colonel Francine, Lieutenant-Colonel Price and Major Cooper in a few moments saw that it would be impos- sible to hold the men together inactive, exposed to this concentrating and galling fire, which in a few moments would become deadly when the rebel riflemen had obtained a more accurate range. Believing that a charge on the double-quick, with hearty Yankee cheers would check the advance of the enemy's line and draw his fire from the retreating batteries, at the same time destroying his range, the order was quickly given: " Fix bayonets ; forward, double-quick, charge!" and this devoted little band swept across the field with shouts of confidence. As they reached about the pro- longation of the line of the Second New Hampshire- which stood like a wall, hopelessly matching its spent, feeble and almost exhausted fire against the long line of battle confronting it-the hopelessness of the Sev- enth's effort was apparent, and all knew that any further advance meant certain annihilation for the brave Jerseymen. A halt, a hasty adjustment of the line, and a volley at the line of dirty slouch hats in front, was the work of but a minute, and the rattle of musketry drowned all other sounds, while the smoke totally obscured the rebel hats and colors.
At this point Colonel Francine, Lieutenant Mul- lery, Adjutant Dougherty, and over one-third of the Seventh were quickly placed hors du combat. The few who were still able to get away (wounded and unhurt) fell back beyond the Trostle house where

they joined the other four companies, under the con- mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Price, who rallied the scattered fragments and made another stand near Trostle's dwelling, until he himself fell shot through the thigh when the command devolved upon Major Frederick Cooper. In falling back from its most advanced position many more were struck by the shower of balls, among them. Captain Hillyer who managed to hobble from the field with a flesh wound in the calf of his leg.
The losses of the Seventh were severe, amounting to 114, killed, wounded and missing, as follows :

The Fifth New Jersey Regiment, Colonel William J. Sewell, which had been ordered to the relief of the picket line on the Emmetsburg road, moved by the right flank at a double-quick, and reached the position named by deploying as skirmishers. The right of the regiment rested at a white house, the left extending to a barn on the Emmetsburg road, the line covering the entire front of Humphreys' division. The Fifth was subjected to a severe artillery fire for full an hour, when the enemy's infantry (Barksdale's brigade) made their appearance to the left and in front of the position occupied by the regiment. Colonel Sewell at once notified General Humphreys of the enemy's appear- ance, and after an examination of the ground was con- vinced that the only place to check the attack was on the road and the crest of the hill which he held. The enemy first encountered the left of the line of battle, and pushed forward in such strong force as to drive in

the troops on Sewell's left. The flank of the Fifth Regiment thus becoming exposed, the left of the line fell back and the ground thus surrendered was at once occupied by a rebel battery. Sewell held his men firmly to the position expecting an advance of the troops in his rear, but none came to his support. The Fifth was now seriously compromised. Exposed to a combined musketry and artillery fire which it was impossible to withstand, it was apparent that to remain any longer meant annihilation or capture. Rallying the regiment on the right Colonel Sewell skillfully with- drew it from its perilous position, at the same time covering Seeley's battery, which was firing in retreat. As the Fifth fell back in good order and amid a terri- ble fire of musketry and artillery, it was noticed that Humphreys' line was changing front to his rear and right so as to connect with the First Division, which had been compelled to vacate its position. The Fifth Regiment fought with great gallantry and confronted overwhelming numbers, but the strong and rapid advance of the enemy carried everything before it. Colonel Sewell and Acting Major Victor M. Healey were both seriously hurt, the former by a musket ball and the latter by a piece of shell. Captain E. P. Berry, acting adjutant, was so badly hurt that his leg had to be amputated, from the effects of which he died July 6. The casualties complete were as follows :

The praise bestowed upon the fighting qualities of Burling's Jersey brigade is wholly deserved. General Birney says of them: "I cannot estimate too highly the services of the regiments from Burling's brigade, Second Division-the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh New Jersey Volunteers. These regiments were sent to me during the contest and most gallantly did they sustain the glorious reputation won by them in former battles." The absence of any allusion to the heroic conduct of the Eighth Regiment is undoubtedly due to the fact --- as Colonel Burling says in his report-that it was taken from him without his knowledge, and as Colonel

Ramsey, who commanded the regiment was wounded. no report of its services was ever sent in.
Of the brilliant services of the Fifth Regiment General Humphreys who commanded the Second Division of the Third Corps, says :
"Colonel Sewell, commanding the Fifth New Jersey Volunteers, of my Third Brigade, reported to me and relieved the pickets of General Graham's brigade on my left, some of which extended over a part of my front. This regiment had been posted but a short time when a most earnest request was made by a staff officer of General Sickles that another regiment should be sent to the support of General Birney. At this moment Colonel Sewell sent me word that the enemy was driving in my pickets and was about advancing in two lines to the attack. Seeley's battery had now opened upon the enemy's infantry as they began to advance. Turnbull's battery was likewise directed against them, and I was about to throw forward somewhat the left of my infantry and engage the enemy with it, when I received orders from General Birney (General Sickles having been danger
ously wounded and carried from the field) to throw back my left and form a line oblique to and in rear of the one I then held, and was informed that the First Division would complete the line to Round Top ridge. This I did under a heavy fire of artillery and infantry from the enemy, who now advanced on my whole front.
" At this time Colonel Sewell's regiment returned to
236
NEW JERSEY TROOPS
the line, having maintained most gallantly its position on picket, with very heavy loss.
* x * * *
" As I have already stated, my Third Brigade was ordered to the support of Major-General Birney, com- manding the First Division. The accompanying report of Colonel George C. Burling, commanding that bri- gade, exhibits the disposition that was made of the regiments of the brigade. In succession they, with the exception of Colonel Sewell's regiment, were sent to aid the brigades of the First Division. The Seventh New Jersey, Colonel Louis R. Francine, commanding, and the Second New Hampshire, were sent to the sup- port of General Graham's brigade, and the Eighth New Jersey, Colonel John Ramsey, commanding; the Sixth New Jersey, Lieutenant-Colonel J. R. Gilkyson, commanding, and the One Hundred and Fifteenth Pennsylvania, were sent to the support of General Ward's brigade. For the part taken in the engage- ment by these regiments I must refer to the reports of the commanders of these brigades. That they did their duty in a manner comporting with their high reputation is manifest from the severe loss they met with-430 killed and wounded. Colonel Sewell, Colonel Francine, Colonel Ramsey, and Lieutenant-Colonel Price, officers distinguished for their skill and gal- lantry, were severely wounded. Colonel Francine's wound proved to be mortal.
X * . X *
" Colonel Sewell's conspicuous gallantry in the main-
237
IN THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN.
tenance of his post has been already mentioned by me. He was severely wounded soon after his regiment rejoined the main line."
General Ward, to whose support the Sixth and Eighth New Jersey Regiments were sent, makes no mention whatever in his report of the valuable services rendered by these splendid regiments, an oversight that appears strange indeed, in view of the profuse praise bestowed on other regiments whose services were no better, nor more greatly needed. Captain Smith of the Fourth New York Battery, is an honora- ble exception to both General Ward and Colonel Tipton who commanded Graham's brigade (General Graham having been wounded and fell into the hands of the enemy) in whose support the Second New Hampshire and Seventh New Jersey went. Captain Smith says: "At this time the Sixth New Jersey Volunteers, Lieutenant-Colonel Gilkyson command- ing, and Fortieth New York Regiment, Colonel Egan commanding, came to our support. These regiments marched down the gully, fighting like tigers, exposed to a terrific fire of musketry, and when within one hundred yards of the rebel line the Fourth Maine, which still held the hill, were forced to retreat. Very soon afterward the Fortieth New York and Sixth New Jersey Regiments were compelled to follow."
The Eleventh New Jersey Regiment, Colonel Rob- ert McAllister commanding, of Carr's brigade, was also heavily engaged in the dreadful conflict which followed the impetuous charge of Barksdale's brigade.
238

as it broke through the lines at the Peach Orchard. They heroically braved the tempest of shot and shell which ploughed through their ranks, and the heavy casualty list attests their unwavering conduct during this dreadful ordeal. General McAllister, in a recent letter to the author, thus describes the scene :
"We (the Eleventh New Jersey Volunteers) were in front of the apple orchard at the Smith house, along the Emmetsburg road. During this heavy artil- lery firing-we not being actively engaged-I ordered my men to lie down. The shot and shell played over our heads and through the apple trees in our rear, carrying the branches through the air like chaff. The gunners and horses of our artillery were rapidly cut down. If the destruction of life could have been left out of mind I would have considered the scene grand beyond description. So exciting was it that I could not keep lying down. I had to jump up and watch the grand duel. In about half an hour the artillery ceased and the first charge of the rebel infantry was made in my front. We prepared to receive the charge. I ordered my men to 'Fire.' I was on the right of my regiment. As the rebels advanced our pickets came into our lines, and we received the charge. I was wounded while passing from the right to the centre of my regiment-severely wounded by a minié ball passing through my left leg and a shell striking my right foot. I did not see a single man in the regiment flinch or show the least cowardice under that terrific cannonading or the fierce charge which we met."
239
IN THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN.
The Eleventh was assailed on the right by Wilcox's brigade, and the charge by Barksdale at the Peach Orchard uncovered its left. To meet his attack the regiment was directed by General Carr to change front by bringing the left to the rear, which movement was as orderly and as handsomely executed under the terrible fire to which it was exposed, as though on parade. This brought the Eleventh directly in the path of Barksdale's advance. Barksdale was mounted upon a splendid horse and was conspicuous by wearing a red fez. He rode to the right and foot of his brigade, with ringing voice and waving sword urging his men on, and General Carr, recognizing the worth of this leader's example and enthusiasm sent an aide to the commanding officer of the Eleventh, directing him to bring down the mounted officer. Company H, com- manded by Captain Ira W. Cory was ordered to direct its entire fire at Barksdale, and he fell pierced (as it was afterwards ascertained) by five balls.
The change of front to meet Barksdale's charge brought the Eleventh to the foot of the slope in rear of the Smith house, and there occurred its greatest loss, the casualties among the officers being unusually large. Colonel McAllister fell severely wounded just as he gave the command. Major Philip Kearney, the next in command, soon received a shot in the knee, and spinning around like a top fell, ten paces away. Captain Luther Martin, of Company D, the senior officer, was notified to take the command, but before he had time to realize the responsibility of his position,
