Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes of a Staff Officer of Our First New Jersey Brigade on the Seven Day's Battle on the Peninsula in 1862
As soon as I came close to him and he saw me he said: Where is the Fourth? I said: Gone to Richmond, sir. I shall never forget how the old fellow's eyes glared as with his sword in his hand, he turned to me and said: Young man, this is no place for levity. I said: They are captured, every man of them. He said: My God, My God, and fairly wrung his hands.
Now this is an incident of the capture of the Fourth Regiment as witnessed and participated in by a staff officer. The identity of the French officer who conducted the Fourth Regiment into the woods where it was lost has been a subject of question ever since.
