previous one, and in most instances the
rate from Baltimore, Alexandria and Wash

Major Tremain,s GaIlantry.

Major Henry E. Tremain of the Seventy
third New York Volunteers, was staff
officer, serving under General Daniel f..
Sickles, but at the battle of Resaca, Ga. he
volunteered to assist General Butterfield
in charge. 1t was during tins charge
that the brigade of Coburn began firing by
mistake into the brigade commanded by
(ColoneD Harrison afterwards President
of the United States. 1t was due in
measure to Major Tremain's presence of
mind and courage that panic among the
Federals was prevented. He rode in front
of Coburn's command, and General Butter
field and General Sickles both testify that
they saw him with his sword knock down
the guns of nearly all the men in the front
line of one regiment to stop them firing.
Major Tremain's gallantry at Chancellors-
vile, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg was
also conspicuous. and General Sickles says
OF him in his reports that "he is worthy of
the highest honor which the Government
can award. From the WAR Record"
