He was a born commander His men forgot thelr Liew tenant's youth in loyal admiration for his prowess, On the first morning of the three-days’ Battle of Geb tysburg young Wilkeson's battery held a critical posi) tion on a knoll at the Union right. The battery was made up of four light twelve-pound field pieces, wil ~ keson was its ranking officer. ss ‘The battery’? position was all-lmportant, because, § at this point of the Union line the Confederate Gene- | rals Ewell and Gordon were hurling masses of South- ern infantry under cover of a furlous artillery fire, Wilkeson’s four guns were trained upon the advancing Confederate infantry, ploughing great red rents through the oncoming ranks, Regt- ment after regiment was halted by this deadly fusillade. It was a day when time was precious, For the Union Army had not ‘had a chance to strengthen and solldify its own position around Gettys- burg.

He brought up two batteries, Posting) them on a commanding hill that towered above the knoll, he ordered the 4 cannoneers to silence or drive away the spiteful little Union battery that was working such havoc In his ranks. Twelve guns were turned | Wilkeson’s four. The advantage in position and weight of metal then rested with the Confetlerates.” A whirlwind of shot and shell swirled down upon Wilkeson’s gunners. It was a fusillade almost too terrific for mortal endurance. Some of the Union cannoneers seemed of two minds about running away Wilkeson rode from gun to gun directing the firing, urging his men to | stand firm, joking with them, putting new heart into the timid. His gay surage Kept the cannoneers steady at their posts. But he could not be ertain how long their pluck wo: last in face of that whirlwind of death. So Wilkeson decided to give them an object lesson in bravery, He spurred his horse out of the battery's meagre shelter and rode out lirectly in front of bis own gun .
