"The noble and brave Youth who was slain and gave his life, a sacrifice to his Country, was the most promising Young Officer, that is has ever been my fortune to meet. He was but 20 years of age, had been in 80 battles. He was brave to a fault, always foremost in danger in the path of his duty. His gallantry was only equalled by his modesly and strict performance of every trust confided in him,
