Civil War
Twenty Fourth Regiment Infantry
came up and took
the colors from my hand, remarking, as he did so, ' The colonel of the 24th shall never carry the flag while I am alive. ' He was killed instantly. Private Silburn Spaulding, of Company K, seized the colors and bore them for a time; subsequently I took them to rally the men and kept them until I was wounded, near the barricade, west of Seminary buildings, and left the field.
