of state, but not so the soldier. When
the Third Vermont charged upon the
rifle pits before Yorktown the follow

upon them. The first man to fall was
William Scott of Company K, with six
bullets through his body. His COM
rades caught him as he fell and as
his life blood ebbed away, he raised
to heaven amid the din of battle, the
cries of the dying and the shouts of
the enemy, a prayer for the president,
and as he died he remarked to his COM

no coward and was not afraid to die.

glowing tribute with his dying breath.
