Cd Vermont regiment while in camp near
Warrenton, Va, in the summer of 1863:
The Sabbath morn dawned bright and clear upon
the third of May,
AS underneath old Marye's Heights the corps OF
Sedgwick lay;
silence, ominous and deep, was the hillside
then,
Though on the top and at the foot were hosts of
hostile men.
The thunder of the rebel guns the solemn stiffness
broke,
And echo answered echo back as one by one
awoke;
But soon our rified PARROTS spoke Ia tones we
knew well,
And poured upon the rebel hordes refiuent storm
of she'll.
In quick response our well served guns their
deadly missiles pour,
Which through the scarp and parapet of their in
But grape and shell and solid shot, though show
To drive the grey back" from their holes proved
impotent and vain.
Green Mountain BOYS! ye horoes of a dozen bloody
fights
The call is now for men who dare to scale the dizzy
heights
And see advancing on the plain, their serried
Unbroken by the storm of ape-unparalyzed by
fear!
The 10Th New Jersey, then attached to our brigade,
Supported by the Eds boys, master stroke es-
But struggling through miry bog that stretched
their way,
They broke in wild confusion, and went hopelessly
astrayi
Then came the Iong-tried 81 up. and passed them
the rum,
Vermont might well be proud that day of every
martial son.
With volley answering volley as they climbed the
shelving track,
And shouting forth their battle cry, they drove the
rebels back
Upon our right the flight brigade" dismay and
carnage spread,
Far to the left, our brave Brooks his troops
triumphant led;
Each proudly emulous of each, were deeds Of valor
DONE
And on the crest layed down to rest-for Marye's
Heights were wont
All honor to the brave who fell, nor shed their
blood in vain
Who rested with us. but aasi more TO rise

9th or 10th of March, 1864 Our brigade was
ordered to climb the works and go for the
enemy, which we did, but after being holly
engaged for some time, our Colonel JAW. Pra-
ther) discovered that we were being cut oTfr0m
the works. and ordered retreat. The regiment
began to fall back. when our coior-bcarer, Jas.
Davis, not hearing the command, and thinking
the regiment falling back without orders,
yelled out ut the top of his voice: "Why viii ye
desert the flag of yer country J" and refused
TO retreat. The Johnnies came pouring on,
and tried to capture the eoloFs, when Captain
b. 4. Goe, of company I, ordered company + to
rally to the coloTs, which they did. Lieuten-
ant-Colonel r. c. Kise discovered the situation,
and, with drawn sword, came running back into
the thickest of the fight and ordered company
L to the works This act OF bravery on the
part of Colonel Kise saved our colors and our
scalps as well. Colonel Il. c. Kise died few
years ago in Yincennes, Ind, where he was

may his boys never forget him. He was very
strict discipIinarian, but friend to the boys
and the Union, and no Drawer man ever lived.
