When he rode with a few orderlies along Centreville Heights, what a splendid ovation he received from the troops without regard to division or corps! They rushed from all sides and greeted him with the wildest huzzas. Three hours after, he had ridden boldly to his death." He was marching to a new position. While... inspecting his Unes, in a rain storm and in the shades of evening, he rode unconsciously into the enemy's lines. General Long- street, in front of whose line he was killed, relates, in his book From Manassas to Appomattox^ the circumstances attending his death: "While my reliefs were going around.
