a withdrawal absolutely necessary. One third of the men were rendered unable to fight, and a precipitous retreat from the hill was ordered. In this engagement Colonel J. B. Strange fell, seriously wounded, and, in the retreat, was left behind. His voice was heard, after he had received his wound, urging his men to stand firmly; and he commanded with that coolness and daring that is found only in the truly brave. In addition to this severe loss, the regiment mourns the death of Lieutenant M. A. Shepherd, of company B, than whom a truer patriot, a firmer officer, or a nobler youth, is not to be found in our country's service. The list of casualties shows the number of the brave ever to be lamented by the friends of the Nineteenth. The command fell upon Captain John L. Cochran, after the fall of Colonel Strange. Total loss, sixty-three. Names have been heretofore furnished. B. Brown, Captain, commanding Regiment. Report of Major Frobel of Second battle of Manassas. cam
