In place of wounds or prison or death, were handshakes, speech and mingling cheers. Major Leads Men In Gray.

They came up the slope in columns of fours, irregular but responsive to the commands -of Major W. W. Bentley, or the Twenty-fourth Virginia, one of the few officers of either Pickett's or the Philadelphia brigades who was pres ent. Ahead of them marched a band and ' well down the column was a. fadsd .
