Considerable of the fire was directed into a clump of woods in our imme- diate front, in which was quite a force of rebel infan- try, and I have reason to believe that this fire was very effective; for, upon visiting the spot during the action of the Second Bull Run I found the trees thickly scarred at the height where the shot would be likely to do the most execution. We had with us a young man, who was hardly more than a mere boy, by the name of Henry H. Stewart, who had been taken out from h...ere by Cap- tain Reynolds to act as an orderly and guidon, who, while nearly every one else was excited and every- thing was in confusion, preserved, apparently, the utmost coolness, moving from point to point as calmly as if performing the ordinary duties of parade, and it was not until I ordered him so to do that he dismounted from his horse. But the coolest one of our number, and, I believe, the coolest man on the field that day, was Sergeant G. Lyman Dwifht. When the storm of bullets was thickest 18 THE RHODE ISLAND ARTILLERY AT and the rebel artillery was delivering upon us its heaviest fire, Dwight would step aside from the smoke from his gun, and seemed perfectly absorbed by the sublime and magnificent spectacle.
