Civil War
FOURTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
The regiment was also engaged at Savage Station, June 29th; at Turkey Bend, June 30th; at White Oak Swamp on the same day; and on July 1st at Malvern Hill, where it became conspicuously engaged, losing its colonel, Woodbury, who fell at the head of his regiment, and whoso brilliant career in the service had been as bright and dashing as the record of his regiment, and had his life been spared but a little longer his military ability, energy, and dash would have placed him prominent in command with high rank and fame, as he was naturally gifted with all the characteristics to ensure success.
