A rare instance of a wound caused by a Sharps weapon is described in the case of Private T. W. Buck of Company E, 7th Virginia Regiment, who was wounded and captured 3 July 1863 in Pickett's charge at Gettysburg. The Medical and Surgical History reports that Buck was treated on the field until 21 August, when he was admitted to Camp Letterman. Acting Assistant Surgeon H. H. Sutton states that "a ball from a Sharp's carbine entered the left side of the sacrum at the third segment ... [patient was] transferred to West's Building Hospital on 16 September and paroled on 25 September 1863." A check of a small arms book (Ready ... Aim ... Fire) published by Dean Thomas indicates that the 1st and 2nd US Sharpshooters, as well as Andrew's company of Massachusetts Sharpshooters were armed with Sharp's Rifles, while the 14th Connecticut Regiment was armed with .58 caliber Sharps rifles. The 14th Connecticut was posted behind the stone wall near the angle attacked by Pickett's Division, while Andrew's Sharpshooters were also in the vicinity at the time in various locations along the line.
