shot down with his right hand on one OF

stands on the spot where Cushing pulled

The, mountains and into the wilderness at
the age Of sixteen to survey the widely
extended domains of Lord Fairfax, be-
coming familiar with hardship and max
ing intimate acquaintance with the In
dams. As Virginian he had vision
that was broad. At the age Of twenty
one he had already become "a person OF
distinction" and IS such was sent on
wild, difficult and perilous march Of five
or six hundred miles to serve notice on
the French that their Western forts
were built on lands claimed by the Eng
lish, an embassy most faithfully and ably
performed. At the age of twenty-five
he began the hostilities of the seven
years war with France. Thus early he
attracted the attention of the world.
At the beginning of the Revolution ne

vision as such, and in after years the
breadth and grandeur of his faith in the
destiny of America were constantly and
increasingly apparent. His love was fol

Typographical DESCRIPTION OF THE
BATTLEFIELD.

BATTLEFIELD.
Perhaps for the benefit of those who
may never visit this historic field some
description of the lay of the land and the
lines of battle may not be out of place.
Gettysburg at the time of the battle was
a small hamlet situated at the right and
near Cemetery Ridge, so named for the old
cemetery that stands on the Ridge, where
some of the hardest fighting was done
ON the first day of the battle. Cemetery
Ridge and Seminary Ridge, the latter so
called after the Seminary which stands
there, are about one mile long, running
southerly, nearly parallel with each other.
be five miles square. Culps Hill is on the
extreme right of Cemetery Hill and the
Round Top on the extreme left of the
Union lines. Our camp was between
the two ridges and covered nearly mile
square. The Baltimore railroad only d.
vided the Union and Confederate camps.
PERSONAL RECoLLECTIoNs AND REMIN-
ISCENCES
of six days visit to the battlefield of
Gettysburg in 1913: We left Portland
June goth, some 500 old Vets. in Pull
man sleeper, for Gettysburg, arriving
Sunday, June Both, near the middle of the
afternoon, all well and happy. After
selecting our terminates for the occasion,
consisting of members of Co. E, 10th
Me-, and being somewhat tired after the
long ride, we turned in for the first night
in camp after so years had elapsed since
our first visit to this hallowed ground.
Monday morning, bright and early, the
boys turned out and were ready when
the breakfast call sounded. 1t was a
beautiful morning and as the bugle
sounded the different calls memory drift
ed back to the days of '6S. Our first
thought was to find the spot where the
End Corps came onto the field in the early
morning of July 2, 1868. We had no
trouble as some of the old landmarks
were left. Meade's headquarters during
the fight stand the same and although
kept in good repair yet look just as they
did on that second day, marked with bull
let holes. Well do we remember the
scampering of Meade's staff as rebel
battery got the range and began to drop
shells in their midst. The old LIST and I'd
divisions, End Corps, were directly in the
path of Longstreet when Sickles 3rd
Corps broke and came back on the old
