General Thomas P. Kane, of the Second Pennsylvania Brigade, says in his
official report of the engagement :
"At 10.30 o'clock the enemy made their last determined effort by charging
in column of regiments. Their advance was Steuart's Brigade of Johnson's
Division. The First Maryland Battalion (Confederate States) left most of their
dead in line with our own. It cannot be denied that they behaved courageously."
General Kane little knew — and would have been ashamed of the fact —
when he penned that report that instead of a charge in " column of regiments "
upon him and the masses of troops supporting him, that there were no Confed-
erates to receive their fire but three hundred Marylanders, who alone constituted
the " charge in column of regiments." Yes. " they behaved courageously."
