Gettysburg Retreat and Canister Fire Echoes of Battle
In Alexandria on March 7 a veteran recalls Longstreet's corps, the 10th Arm. regiment on Hill's right, fierce shelling, and a sharp-house skirmisher. He describes being wounded by a minnie ball, carried by comrades, and aided by Dr. Montgomery before rejoining the fight. The narrative notes July 3 and 4 actions, casualties, and the fall back with wounded left to the enemy.
