was spared to fight elsewhere and to some
purpose.
The day of action came to the Seventy
third at Manassas, or Second Bull Run, on
Aug. 90 when in McLeans brigade,
Schenk' S division of Siscl's corps, it helped
to give Stonewall Jackson's army the
severest blows it ever endured, the fruits
Of which, however, were never garnered
The supposititious champio of the Seven
ty-third may be excused for his pride in the
record of his regiment at Manassas, even
though that was not a glorious Union
triumph The Confederate bullNs had the
same sting there that they did on more re-
nowned battcdelds, and every southerner
killed there was one less to fight at Gettys-
burg or Chickamauga
In a little journal history of his regi-
ment Gen. Hurst has given a plain story
Of the part taken by the Seventy-thrd
