SURVIVORS OF THE IMMORTAL SIX HUNDRED.

The notice in the February Veteran brought a number of responses to Capt. D. C. Grayson, Commander of the Immortal Six Hundred, and he asks that the names of these additional survivors be published:

Capt. James H. Polk, 1st Tennessee Cavalry, Fort\ Worth,

Tex.

"Charge!"' rang the cry, and on we dashed Upon our female foes, As seas in stormy fury lashed

Capt. Edward Carter, 8th Virginia Infantry, Warrenton, Va. Lieut. J. D. Gruver, 50th Virginia Infantry, Burke's

Whene'er the tempest blows. Garden, Va. Like chaff their parasols went down, Lieut. F. R. Haynes, 24th Virginia Cavalry, Cobb's Creek, As on our gallants rushed, Va.

And many a bonnet, robe, and gown Was torn to shreds or crushed.

Lieut. Hopkins Harding, 19th Virginia Infantry, Higginsville, Mo. (Confederate Home).

What the scanner made of this page, and what it is in the printed original.

  • The scan interleaves this list with the verses of an unrelated poem printed in the adjoining column — the lines beginning “Charge!” rang the cry belong to that poem, not to this notice. The names run: Capt. James H. Polk, Capt. Edward Carter, Lieut. J. D. Gruver, Lieut. F. R. Haynes, Lieut. Hopkins Harding.
