Col. Gibson had a good heart for his men, or "boys, " as he called them, and was patriotic. He spoke for an hour in his address to them at the reunion of the Second Penn- sylvania Heavy Artillery at Belmont Mansion, September, 1888, and was a proud man that day. The following is his farewell address to the regiment : COLONEL GIBSON'S FAREWELL ADDRESS. Hd. Qrs. 2nd Penna. Art'y. , Near Petersburg, Va. , July 2ij'- 1S54. Regimental Orders No. 30. In relinquishing the command of his regiment, the ...Colonel desires to express to the officers and enlisted men his regret that circumstances preclude his sharing its fortunes to the end. His interest for the regiment will never diminish. He will ever be mindful of its reputation. The discipline which it has received ; the principles with which it has been instilled, and especially the richness of its personal material, assure that the flags of its State and the Federal Government will never be furled with dishonor. In a few months the service of the regiment will have expired, and during a period when the efforts of the nation will all be historical.
