Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 33. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Fifteenth Virginia Infantry. (search)
Fifteenth Virginia Infantry. (by Colonel E. M. Morrison.) I am requested to write an account of the part borne by the Fifteenth Regiment of Virginia Infantry, Semmes's Brigade, McLaws's Division, in the battle of Sharpsburg, September 17, 1862. Contrary to the custom of the best writers and the approved canons of polite literature, or any reliable narrative of a historical nature, I wish to submit in advance, or as prefatory to my sketch, a general reflection, also a sort of recapitulation, to wit: Heine says: We do not take possession of our ideas, but are possessed by them. They master us and force us into the arena, where like gladiators, we must fight for them.

Between daybreak and the setting sun of September 17, 1862, forty-three years ago, over 93,000 men of kindred blood (56,300 Union and 37,300 Confederate) and 520 cannon engaged on this field in a desperate struggle, and when the sun went down and mercifully put an end to the strife 3,634 were dead and 17,222 wounded, an aggregate of 20,856; Union, 12,400; Confederate, 9,600. About 1,770 were missing, some of whom were dead, but most of whom were carried as prisoners from the field. It was the bloodiest day of American history. Every state f
