"There were many officers and men who displayed a degree of daring and heroism which challenges admiration in the very highest degree, and the whole regiment behaved with its customary steadiness and devotion, as the loss of 189 out of 340 carried into the field will testify.".........Capt. George Hillyer, the fourth regimental commander (Col. John Mounger-killed, Maj. W.M. Jones-seriously wounded, Capt. J.M.D. King-mortally wounded) in his Official Report on actions at The Wheatfield, (Gettysburg, Pa.) 2 July, 1863.
