Front Rank Jere Dyer Leads Charge in Bull Run Tale
A Civil War vignette recounts Jere Dyer of a Massachusetts regiment who, though slight, acts as a front-rank magnet in drill. When Bull Run echoes with artillery, the lieutenant orders him to the front, prompting the sly retort about his usual rear-line role and a humorous quip on fate and leadership. The piece blends frontier humor with sharp wartime memory of Longstreet’s assault.
