Moses B. Lakeman, was in the anffle of the salient at the Peach Orchard. 10 MAINE AT GETTYSBURG. The I ourth Maine, Avith gi*eat sacrifice, successfully repelled a determined attempt of Law to gain the rear of Birney, and by counter charges was largely instrumental in holding back the overwhelming forces brought against Devil's Den until our lines were established farther back. The Seventeenth Maine, substantially alone, held the Wheatlield against successive onslaughts of thrice its numbers of... the veterans of Longstreet until it was relieved by Hancock's troops, after more than two hours of fighting, in which it sustained a loss of one-third of its strength in killed and wounded. The Third Maine with two other regiments in the Peach Orchard defeated the fierce attacks of Kershaid's South Carolinians upon the south front of that position, and held the ground until the enemy gained the rear of the Orchard, nearly surrounding the small remnant of the command. When Longstreet^ late in the day, was forcing the Union troops back upon our main line with the help of Hill, who aided to dislodge the Second Division of the Tliird Corps from the Emmitsburg Road, the reserve artillery under Major McGilvery assisted in repelling the enemy's final attack.
