 [About
events of May 31, 1862, Battle of Seven Pines]--My
horse's head was blown off, and falling so suddenly as to catch my foot
and leg under the horse. The regiment seeing me fall, supposed I was
killed or wounded, and began to falter and waver, when I, still penned to
the earth by the weight of my horse, waved my sword and shouted forward!
forward! Whereupon some of my men came to my assistance and pulled the
horse off, when seeing the flag upon the ground, the flag-bearer and all
the color-guard being killed or wounded, I grasped it and called upon them
to charge! which they did, and together with others captured the
fortifications.

Tuesday
28th [May 1861]--Arrived in
Baltimore, Md., about mid-day, expecting to meet there the "Eighth
New York, volunteers," who having their arms with them, were to
escort us through the city, but we were disappointed in not meeting them,
so we pursued our march..., passing through Pratt street, where the
"Sixth Massachusetts, volunteers," were attacked by a mob, in
April, while on their way to Washington; but our regiment was not
molested, although many a black look was cast upon us, they freely offered
us ice-water and other refreshments, but Colonel Stiles had ordered the
men not to accept anything from them, as he was afraid they would try to
poison us.
--John W. Jacques, USA
