Editor Free Press:-
Having noticed in your issue OF IN
day that Gen. T. S. Peck, with the eS
ception of General Ripley, was the sol
survivor among the eight officers VIII
entered Richmond, Va, AS years ago las
Wednesday, when the first Federal troop
entered that city under the command 0
Gen. Edward H. Ripley of this state at
ter our troops, led by the Old Brigade, had
broken through the confederate lines at
Petersburg at four o'clock that morning
| thought it might interest some OF your
readers to know that "Spunky La,
noble furnished the man in Color Ser
geant Jackson Sargent, Of Stowe, who
carried the colors that led all others in
that splendid charge, which marked the
last fierce fighting of the Civil War.
Mr.. Sargent carried the cOlors OF the
Fifth Vermont. He and Capt. CharleS
G. Gould of the Fifth were the first two
men who scaled the parapet OF the con.
federate fort and were the first to jump
into the ranks of those defending the
same. As they did this Captain Gould
was bayoneted in the face, the bayonet
entering his mouth outside his teeth and
coming out at the side of his neck, Hem
turn killed his assailant with thrust Of
his sword, but Immediately received a
severe sabre wound in the head. During
the hand-to-hand struggle which then
ensued his Overcoat was partially pulled
over his head and another bayonet was
thrust into his spine nearly to the spinal
cord, but with the assistance OF Private
II. Recor, Company a, Fifth Vermont,
who was severely wounded while help
ing him, he got out of the fort and went
to the rear alone Notwithstanding his
severe wounds, Captain Gould recovered.
There was a good deal of rivalry be-
tween the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth and Eleventh Vermont regiments
as to whose colors led the troops IN this
final charge of the Civil War, but Cap
tain Gould, who had served the greater
part OF his term as a member of the
said that the first colors placed
on the plrapet Of the fort were those car
ried by Color Sergeant Jackson Sargent !
Mr. Sargent was later promoted to the
position otIiculenant for the bravery dis
played in this battle and was voted
medal ofhonor by Congress. Lieutenant
Sargent is still a resident of "Spunky''
1amoile, living nStowe. Heis as modest |
is he WAS brave and very few even of his !
leighbors know of his part in this battle |
which resulted in our troops piercing the
confederate lines in front of Petersburg
