Note E — Chapter XI
Reading edition
This eye-witness was Captain Haviland, Company G, One Hundred and Forty-second Pennsylvania Volunteers, whose regiment was attached to the Pennsylvania Reserves, and which lost in that charge two hundred and forty-three men killed and wounded. Captain Haviland had been wounded, and was making his way with Major John Bradley, also wounded, to the hospital. They happened to be passing Birney's head-quarters when Meade rode up, and heard the whole interview. [E]
