I know not when,
in all human history, to any given thousand men
in arms there has been committed a work at once so proud, so
precious,
so full of hope and glory. --- GOV. JOHN A. ANDREW.
The
regiment whose bayonets pricked the name of Colonel Shaw
into the roll of immortal honor. -- THEODORE
TILTON.
Right in the van,
On the red rampart's slippery swell
With heart that beat a charge, he fell
Forward, as fits a man;
But the high soul burns on to light men's feet
Where death for noble ends makes dying sweet.
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. |
SERGT. WILLIAM H. CARNEY, of CO. C.
