General Clusters First Charge with
his Brigade.

When the boy lieutenant WAS suddenly pro-
motcd to be a hrigadjergencral, and put III
charge Of the Michigan brigade, there was
much tauIt-lnding. 'rhey dill not want this
mere boy to lead them. They did not believe
he would hight. 1t was but few days before
they Were called upon to make the first charge,
which General Clusters hiographer thus de-
scribeS:
The charge of the First Michigan at Gctty>-
burg is described by am eye witness rs some
thing magnificent, and yet the one thing that
gave it weight is not mentioned in Clusters re-
port. The previous day the general had
charged at the head Of a single company. solely
for the purpose of encouraging his men and to
win their respect and affection. AtGettyshurg
he completed his victory over the brigade by
the manner in which he led his second charge
in which he participated with his men. When
that single regiment, in column Of squadronS,
moved forward to the attack, every man knew
that it was the last reserve and had started on
an almost hopeless task. Nothing but the
spectacle of the young general at their head,
sharing their dangers, could have inspired
them to such an effort, and it was the magnill-
cent spectacle of his gallant and knightly tg-
ure, far in the van, that neryed every arm IN
that column. Hating him at Hanover, they be-
gan to respect him at llunterStown; after Get
tysburg they adored him. The result OF THIS
attack was that IIampton's cavalry was driven
back, the infantry ordered up to support 1t. the
whole ammunition train of Lee threatened, and
much of the vigor OF the assault ON the Union
right paralyZcd. Meanwhile Buiord, on the
other flank of the army, had prevented an
equally dangerous turning movement in that
direction, and the battle of Gettysburg had
been won.' Whlttaker's life of Custer
