A MAN FROM MAINE. 69
He fell a short time before dark, seriously wounded in the head
by a canistor-sh>;t. Colonel G. A. Pennypacker, commanding
Second Brigade, was seriously wounded while planting his col-
ors on the third traverse of the work. This officer was sur-
passed by none, and his absence during the day was most deeply
felt and seriously regretted. Colonel L. Bell, commanding
Third Brigade, was mortally wounded while crossing the bridge
in advance of the palisading. He was an able and efficient
officer, one not easily replaced.
