Famished and spent, they didn\u2019t arrive at the Union camp at Powers Hill, a mile behind the Federal center on Cemetery Ridge and about a mile and a quarter removed from the northeastern edge of the smaller of the two round tops, until around seven o\u2019clock on July 2nd, a couple of hours after dawn. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">They were told to eat breakfast and try to catch up on sleep. As the day wore on, the commotion on the far side of the high ground ebbed and flowed \u2013 at times nearly deafening, at other times strangely quiet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Along with rest of the corps, Strong Vincent\u2019s Third Brigade was put in a swing position; depending on how the battle transpired, General Sykes\u2019s men could either be sent to support General Daniel Sickles\u2019s Third Corps to their southwest or General Henry Slocum\u2019s Twelfth Corps to their northwest. Since late afternoon the previous day, Sickles\u2019s men had been anchoring the Army of the Potomac\u2019s left flank, the southern \u201ceye\u201d of its upside-down fishhook defensive line. Slocum\u2019s men, meanwhile, had been assigned the area surrounding Culp\u2019s Hill, the hook\u2019s northeastern \u201cbend.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Federals owed their possession of Gettysburg\u2019s high ground to the guile and cunning of cavalry commander John Buford. On Tuesday, June 30th, the day before the battle began, General Buford was on a reconnaissance patrol to assess the exact whereabouts of the Confederate forces and determine the best ground on which the Army of the Potomac should wage its fight. As soon as he rode through town, Buford recognized the strategic value of the ridges and hills that formed Gettysburg\u2019s southern and eastern sides. Surmising that the Rebels would consolidate their troops and attack the next day from the north and west, Buford positioned his soldiers some three miles in front of the high ground. Once the shooting starts, Buford instructed his 2,700 men, fall back gradually and prevent the enemy from making a full-scale assault on the hills. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Then he sent messengers galloping to General John Reynolds, begging the Pennsylvanian to rush his First Corps to Gettysburg. Reynolds\u2019 men the night of June 30th were encamped in northern Maryland, some eight or nine miles south of Buford\u2019s position. If the Federals were to maintain control of the high ground, thousands \u2013 maybe tens of thousands \u2013 of reinforcements would be needed before noon; otherwise, the Rebels would gain a decided advantage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sure enough, Reynolds arrived early that morning, ultimately slamming his 12,000 men into the Rebel front. Within minutes, Reynolds was killed by a Confederate sniper. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Buford\u2019s fallback strategy worked. For much of the first day, the Union forces were outnumbered and on the defensive, yet at sunset, they were still in charge of the high ground. It was Fredericksburg in reverse. Now, the <em>other side<\/em> would be forced to launch vertical attacks on entrenched positions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">*<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In the aftermath of the war, various theories were put forth to explain how Strong Vincent and his brigade came to defend Little Round Top. Most scholars, however, have come to accept Oliver Willcox Norton\u2019s version of events. Despite the chaos that engulfed them that evening, the Third Brigade\u2019s orderly and bugler was never more than a few yards from Vincent\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Professor Allen C. Guelzo, who once taught at Gettysburg College, writes in <em>Gettysburg: The Last Invasion<\/em> that Sykes was alerted in mid-afternoon that his corps would be needed to buttress Sickles\u2019s position. An irascible Tammany Hall politician bereft of military training and instinct, Sickles had defied orders and moved his men off the high ground and down into the Peach Orchard at the base of the ridge and round tops. Thanks to Sickles\u2019s gaffe, his corps was now vulnerable to assault from three directions. By late afternoon, Sickles was getting pummeled in and around the orchard by General Lafayette McLaw\u2019s Division of General James Longstreet\u2019s corps. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In one of the war\u2019s most hotly debated moments, Confederate commander Robert E. Lee on the morning of July 2nd had ordered Longstreet to frontally assault the Union left flank. Longstreet protested, urging Lee to swing the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historyisnowmagazine.com\/blog\/2023\/8\/24\/logistics-challenges-of-the-army-of-northern-virginia-in-the-gettysburg-campaign?rq=Gettysburg%E2%80%99\"><span>Army of Northern Virginia<\/span><\/a> to the right around the Union line, get between Meade and Washington, D.C., pick more favorable ground, and force the Federals to attack <em>them<\/em>. Lee refused, insisting that Longstreet try to dislodge the enemy from the hills and win the battle in front of them. Lee\u2019s obstinance helped sound the Confederacy\u2019s death knell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It took the South Carolinian the bulk of Thursday to choose a location from which to launch his assault, a delay known \u2013 sardonically in Confederate lore \u2013 as \u201cLongstreet\u2019s Long March.\u201d But when Longstreet finally did attack, it was with a vengeance. The Union high command\u2019s nightmare scenario was unfolding: the Rebels were again poised to sweep the field with a bold maneuver, just as they\u2019d done at Second Bull Run and Chancellorsville.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">*<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When word came from Meade\u2019s staff that it was time for the Fifth Corps to join the fight, officers barked the commands \u2013 <em>Fall In!<\/em> . . . <em>Attention! . . . Load! . . . Load at Will!<\/em> \u2013 to their 11,000 men sprawled across Powers Hill. Still, it took the better part of an hour \u2013 beginning roughly at four o\u2019clock, Guelzo estimates \u2013 before the Fifth Corps was fully mobilized. Sykes knew the situation was dire; he ordered his division closest to the fighting \u2013 the First \u2013 to move out as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Under the erratic leadership of General James Barnes, the division was at the corps\u2019 point as it began marching toward Sickles\u2019 position a little after quarter past four. Like Sickles, Barnes was another Union officer who had little business being entrusted with command. First Division officers, Vincent among them, knew that when a firefight was imminent, Barnes had a tendency to go <em>hors de combat<\/em>, often drinking himself into a stupor. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Barnes and his horse were apparently not at the head of the column as it moved toward the fighting, now just a few hundred yards in front of them and growing more cacophonous by the second. The First Division, with the Third Brigade in the lead, was approaching the action, scholars believe, from the north side of Little Round Top.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">American military history is full of fortuitous moments, when the right officer happened to be in charge at the right moment. But none loom as large as the presence of bullheaded Strong Vincent and his intrepid Third Brigade at the tip of the Fifth Corps\u2019 spear that late July afternoon. Like Myers and Guelzo, Edwin B. Coddington, author of <em>The Gettysburg Campaign: A Study in Command<\/em>, embraced Norton\u2019s account of the pivotal moments leading up to the defense of Little Round Top. Coddington, Guelzo, and Myers all say that Vincent spied a young courier racing on a horse, craning his neck as he rode, clearly looking for General Barnes \u2013 and not finding him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent spurred his horse forward and intercepted the messenger, insisting that he disclose the orders he was carrying. At first the junior officer balked, saying they were for Barnes\u2019 eyes and ears only. But Vincent, knowing that Barnes was incapacitated, would have none of it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWhat are your orders?\u201d Vincent demanded. \u201cGive me your orders!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The orders, the courier eventually spat out, were for Barnes to \u201csend one of his brigades to occupy that hill yonder.\u201d He then pointed to the smaller of the two round tops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent replied \u201cVery well!\u201d and vowed to hurry his 1,300 men to the top. He then instructed the courier to inform his superiors that he, Colonel Strong Vincent of General Barnes\u2019 Third Brigade, would take responsibility for his action. Vincent was fully aware of the gravity of what he was doing. For a brigade commander to move his men in the heat of battle without explicit orders was a court-martial offense. But there was no time to observe chain-of-command protocol with McLaws\u2019 men about to overwhelm Sickles\u2019 position and run like banshees toward the round tops. Soon, McLaws\u2019 division of Georgians and Alabamians was joined by Texans and Arkansians from General John Hood\u2019s division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The orders that Vincent intercepted, historians believe, had originated with General Gouverneur K. Warren, a topographical engineer by training and the Army of the Potomac\u2019s chief engineer. Earlier that afternoon, Warren had been in a group of senior officers riding with General Meade to appraise the Union left side, which the high command had been worried about all day. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Warren suggested to Meade that to get a better view of the situation, the chief engineer, his field staff, and his signal corpsmen would ride to the summit of Little Round Top and report back. Once there, Warren was alarmed to discover that Sickles\u2019 precipitous move had left the hill almost completely deserted. Warren recognized right away that the Federals were susceptible to an attack from the enemy right. Some Rebel troops \u2013 Guelzo described them as \u201ca pack of ravenous wolves\u201d \u2013 had already reached the jagged rock formation at the base of the round tops known as Devil\u2019s Den. The situation was so bleak that Warren directed his signalmen to wave their big flags, hoping it might deceive the enemy into thinking the hill was still occupied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Warren rode down into the valley, either found Sykes or sent a messenger to him \u2013 accounts vary \u2013 and urged the corps commander to dispatch a brigade of men onto Little Round Top before it was too late. With confusion rampant and precious minutes slipping by, scholars believe that it took multiple horsebound messengers bouncing among Meade, Warren, Sickles, and Sykes before word of the potential calamity finally reached the head of Sykes\u2019 column \u2013 and then only because Vincent seized the initiative and flagged down the nervous courier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The whole episode was pathetically constipated on the one hand and complete serendipity on the other. \u201cThe occupation of Little Round Top at the right time and right place by Vincent\u2019s brigade was the result of a combination of circumstances and a stroke of rare good luck for which no one person in the Union high command could claim the credit,\u201d wrote Coddington more than a century after the battle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Whether by luck or by pluck, Vincent never hesitated in asserting control. He immediately ordered bugler Norton to sound the alarm that the brigade was shifting its position to the left \u2013 and on the double-quick. Vincent then summoned his senior regimental commander, Colonel James Clay Rice of the 44th New York, and directed him to explain the urgency of the situation to the three other regimental commanders in the brigade \u2013 and to follow Vincent\u2019s lead up the hill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent and Norton galloped to the base of Little Round Top, desperately searching for a trail. It took a few minutes, but they found an old logging path winding up the mound\u2019s southern face near the swale with Big Round Top. The taller hill\u2019s woods were so thick it made it almost impassable. But loggers had removed so many trees from Little Round Top over the years that a hellbent foe could assault it from its northern, western, and southern sides. Vincent hollered at his men to sprint to the summit as the equestrian whipped his horse up the trail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When he and Norton got to the top, Vincent looked down on \u201ca scene of pure disaster,\u201d Guelzo writes. By then, hundreds of Longstreet\u2019s men from both divisions were beginning to pick their way through the rocks at the bottom of the hill, Rebel-yelling every step. Many hundreds more were minutes away from joining them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Norton was still dutifully displaying the brigade\u2019s colors as musket shots started crashing into the rocks behind the pair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cDown with that flag, Norton!\u201d Vincent shouted, according to color bearer\u2019s own account. \u201cDamn it, go behind the rocks with it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent handed the reins of his horse to his orderly. Then the colonel raced along the spur of the summit, trying to determine the best strategic positions for his men to defend. He hurriedly placed the 16th Michigan, the first unit to arrive, on the right flank facing almost due west; Rice and the 44th New York he put in the right-center, also looking west; the 83rd Pennsylvania he put in the left-center, facing southwest; and the 20th Maine he placed on the extreme left, also facing southwest, with one company looking almost due south across to Big Round Top. Vincent reminded Rice that the Butterfield Twins, the 44th New York and the 83rd Pennsylvania, had fought side-by-side many times; the brigade commander wanted them to do so again. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As Vincent situated the 20th Maine, regimental commander Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, before the war a professor of philosophy and rhetoric at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, and after it, a public servant and orator nonpareil, thought the Pennsylvanian addressed him \u201cwith a voice of awe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI place you here,\u201d Vincent thundered at Chamberlain. \u201cThis is the left of the Union line. You understand?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Then the great-grandson of two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historyisnowmagazine.com\/blog\/2013\/10\/22\/w11licrdm8qfcg2fcyrdsjje0k4kop?rq=Revolutionary%20War\"><span>Revolutionary War<\/span><\/a> stalwarts delivered what is arguably the most consequential military order in the Republic\u2019s history: \u201cYou are to hold this ground at all costs!\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Any retreat at all, both officers understood, could brook disaster for the Army of the Potomac, eroding its entire defensive posture, and throwing the outcome of the battle into doubt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent then ran back to the middle of the line, hollering at a staff officer to climb a bluff and keep him apprised of the enemy advance. He then turned to the 83rd\u2019s adjutant, Lieutenant John M. Clark, and ordered him to return to the valley, find someone in command, and have him send reinforcements at once. Shouting into the ear of the Allegheny College alumnus who\u2019d served at his side for two years, Vincent told him to deliver this message: \u201cThe enemy are coming against us with overwhelming force!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent instructed a third aide to procure more ammunition from Fifth Corps munitions officers down below. The Rebels were now getting so close that Norton put down his bugle, grabbed a musket, and jumped into the left-center of the line with his mates from the 83rd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Things were so muddled that General Warren at this point apparently did not know that Vincent\u2019s brigade had filled the void on Little Round Top. On his horse at the bottom of the hill, Warren spotted his old outfit, the 140th New York Infantry, commanded by Colonel Patrick O\u2019Rorke, an immigrant from County Cavan in the North of Ireland. Warren ordered Paddy and his men to get to the top post-haste. When O\u2019Rorke protested that his superiors expected him to follow the rest of the corps into the valley, Guelzo has Warren replying: \u201cNever mind that, Paddy. Bring your regiment up [to the top] and I will take the responsibility.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Warren also urged O\u2019Rorke not to bother dressing his unit\u2019s line once he got to the summit \u2013 there\u2019d be no time for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The chief engineer was proven prescient. By the time O\u2019Rorke and his men reached the peak, the Texans and Arkansians attacking the 16th Michigan on the right flank of Vincent\u2019s line had begun breaking through. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cHere they are men! Commence firing!\u201d O\u2019Rorke shouted. A moment later, Paddy was shot through the neck, killed instantly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The 526 men in O\u2019Rorke\u2019s unit had arrived in the nick of time. Together with the 44th New York and the remnants of the 16th Michigan, they succeeded in damming the Rebel surge. Soon they were buoyed by the 91st and 115th Pennsylvania and the 146th New York, whose clutch presence most likely can be attributed to Lieutenant Clark\u2019s plea for reinforcements with the Fifth Corps\u2019 brass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Much of the fighting was hand-to-hand, furious and bloody. In his <em>The Civil War: A Narrative<\/em>, Shelby Foote writes that no fewer than five charges and counter-charges were mounted that evening on Little Round Top; each time the Rebels gained a toehold, they were shoved back. Vincent\u2019s hastily-constructed line buckled but never broke.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The biggest threat came on the Federal right. In the middle of the maelstrom, Norton, Judson, and others remember Vincent running to his right to rally the Michiganders, shouting at them to get back into line. Waving Lizzie\u2019s riding crop, he jumped onto a boulder, making himself, Nevins and Styple write, \u201can ideal target for hundreds of Confederate muskets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Moments after yelling, \u201cDon\u2019t yield an inch, boys, don\u2019t yield an inch!\u201d \u00a0Vincent was shot through the left groin. The Mini\u00e9 ball ended up lodged in his right thigh, shattering his pelvis and damaging other bones. He most likely collapsed on the boulder\u2019s surface, perhaps languishing for some time before help arrived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Amos Judson\u2019s history of the 83rd has Vincent saying through gritted teeth, \u201cThis is the fourth or fifth time they have shot at me, and they have hit me at last.\u201d He was carried to safety behind the 83rd\u2019s position, which held steady throughout the carnage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Colonel Rice of the 44th New York assumed command after Vincent was wounded. The Rebel attacks against the Federal middle and right began to wane toward sunset. But the Georgians and Alabamians on the southern side of Little Round Top kept heaving up the hill against Chamberlain and the 20th Maine. At twilight, virtually out of ammunition, Chamberlain famously ordered his remaining men to fix bayonets and countercharge down the hill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The gambit worked, aided by the company of men close to Big Round Top. At a pivotal moment, they suddenly turned and fired into the exhausted Rebels, then joined Chamberlain\u2019s pursuit down the slope. Before they spread themselves too thin in the darkness, Rice reeled back in the 20th Maine. Like the rest of the men in blue that night, they had more than done their job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">*<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It had been complete mayhem, but somehow the four regiments of the Third Brigade and the four other Fifth Corps regiments that stormed to the top of the hill kept the Rebels from gaining control of Little Round Top. The human cost was ghastly: of the roughly 1,300 men in the Third Brigade, more than 530 of them had been killed or wounded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As darkness settled that evening, Generals Meade, Butterfield, Sykes, Warren, et al., weren\u2019t sure how, but they knew that Vincent had saved the day. Without Strong\u2019s initiative, the left flank of the of the army may well have crumbled. If they had gotten clear of Little Round Top, the Army of Northern Virginia might have swung to its left and crushed the Union center in a maneuver painfully reminiscent of past fiascos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent stopped that scenario from happening \u2013 an exemplary bit of valor not lost on the high command. When Union generals made gaffes in previous battles, there was no one there to pick them up. Without the Third Brigade\u2019s leader, Sickles might well be viewed in American history in the same ignominious light as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historyisnowmagazine.com\/blog\/2023\/9\/25\/was-american-revolutionary-war-general-benedict-arnold-a-hero-or-traitor?rq=Benedict%20Arnold\"><span>Benedict Arnold<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">*<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It was pitch dark when Vincent was transported to the gruesome field hospital inside Jacob Weikert\u2019s farmhouse on the northeastern slope of Little Round Top. Colonel Rice, Vincent\u2019s successor, dispatched Oliver Norton to find more horse-drawn ambulances and \u2013 if the bugler could \u2013 the wounded Colonel Vincent. Groping in the darkness, Norton was not able to redirect more ambulances to Little Round Top. But he encountered injured soldiers from the 16th Michigan who said Vincent had been taken to the Weikert house.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The home was something out of <em>Dante\u2019s Inferno<\/em>. Norton walked past dozens of men in screaming in anguish before he found Vincent. His boss had lost a lot of blood. Vincent was barely able to speak but recognized Norton and held out his hand. Norton grasped it, saying, \u201cThe boys are still there, Colonel.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent smiled and squeezed his hand, Norton wrote in <em>The Attack and Defense of Little Round Top<\/em>, his book that commemorated Gettysburg\u2019s 50th anniversary. Norton tried to tell Vincent how much he meant to the men of the Third Brigade but was overcome with emotion and had to take his leave. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThat was my last sight of one of the most gallant heroes of the war,\u201d Norton remembered in 1913, seven years before he died.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The Weikert home apparently proved too susceptible to stray shelling. Cannon fire the next day forced the medical staff to transport Vincent and many others to the Louis Bushman farm a mile removed from the action. By then, it was clear to the doctors that Vincent would not survive. Vincent asked to be taken to Erie to be with his wife and family but the physicians refused. He was in no condition to travel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u00a0\u201cI presume I have done my last fighting,\u201d Vincent supposedly said when told the assessment. He must have known his prognosis was bleak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">On July 4th, America\u2019s 87th birthday, Adjutant Clark was told to find a functioning telegraph station and wire the sad news to Vincent\u2019s family back home. He rode to Westminster, Maryland, twenty miles southeast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The telegram reached the Vincent household late on July 5th or early the next morning. Lizzie, seven months pregnant, couldn\u2019t possibly make the trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historyisnowmagazine.com\/blog\/2024\/3\/2\/the-battle-of-gettysburg-part-i-general-lees-advance-to-pennsylvania?rq=Gettysburg\"><span>Gettysburg<\/span><\/a>, despite her husband\u2019s wishes. B.B., her-father-in-law, immediately boarded a train; once there, he made arrangements to be taken to the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When B.B. finally got to Gettysburg on July 8th or 9th, it was next to impossible to get straight information about his son\u2019s status or pinpoint where he had been hospitalized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">By then, of course, it was too late. In his book, Judson noted that Vincent began \u201cgradually sinking away\u201d on July 5th, slipping in and out of consciousness. Judson wrote that Vincent believed it was \u201cunworthy\u201d for a soldier to display \u201coutward manifestation of suffering.\u201d So, Vincent kept his lips pursed through the agony.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Word that Vincent was at death\u2019s door reached the Union high command as Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia slipped across the Potomac on their trek back to their Virginia sanctuary. Generals Meade and Butterfield petitioned President Lincoln\u2019s War Department to give Vincent a battlefield promotion. The request was granted overnight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sykes, Barnes, and other senior officers came by the Bushman farm to pay their respects. It\u2019s doubtful that Vincent was coherent enough to appreciate his elevation to brigadier general or discuss how he\u2019d ended up at the summit of Little Round Top. By the morning of July 7th, four-and-a-half days after Vincent was wounded, it was clear that the end was imminent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Judson described a scene in which Vincent was struggling to recite the Lord\u2019s Prayer \u201cwhen the soul of this young hero passed away to another world.\u201d Vincent was embalmed that day so his body could be transported for burial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Crawford Countian Clark, who\u2019d been with Vincent since Erie Regiment days in the spring of \u201961, was assigned to accompany Vincent\u2019s corpse to Erie and help arrange the brigadier general\u2019s memorial service. Clark headed out on Wednesday, July 8th, apparently unaware that Vincent\u2019s father was then looking for his son around the battlefield. Strong\u2019s body was already aboard a train when B.B. learned the awful news. Despite his grief, B.B. helped get the body of another 83rd Regiment martyr, Captain John Sell, embalmed, coffined, and sent home to Erie. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Then B.B. himself departed for home. His son\u2019s funeral services would take place on Monday, July 13th, at the Vincent house in Erie and at St. Paul\u2019s Episcopal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Mourners filing through the Vincents\u2019 parlor that day saw a coffin draped in black crepe with an American flag entwined around it. Wreaths of flowers and evergreens adorned the casket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A detachment of U.S. Regulars from Waterford, the Vincents\u2019 ancestral home, were pressed into duty as an honor guard. The Regulars led a lengthy procession to St. Paul\u2019s that featured rolling cannons, members of the Erie County legal profession, foundrymen from Vincent, Himrod &amp; Co., and a panoply of horse-drawn carriages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The <em>Erie Weekly Gazette<\/em> reported that those who heard the \u201cmelancholy and imposing obsequies\u201d at the service would not soon forget them. Once Reverend J.F. Spaulding concluded his funeral rites at Erie Cemetery, the honor guard fired a volley over Vincent\u2019s grave. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWhile we lament his death, and condole with his bereaved and stricken wife, father, mother, brothers, and sister, we yet point to his example as worthy of imitation by all \u2018the truly noble\u2019 and patriotic,\u201d the reverend\u2019s homily ended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Colonel Rice, now the Third Brigade\u2019s commanding officer, that week issued an announcement to his troops about Vincent\u2019s demise. \u201cA soldier, a scholar, a friend has fallen. For his country, struggling for its life, he willingly gave his own,\u201d Rice wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Less than a year later, Rice himself would die on another abhorrent killing field, the Wilderness battlefield in Virginia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A friend of Lizzie\u2019s described her as so distraught in the days after Strong\u2019s funeral that she did not want to sleep for fear that she\u2019d have more nightmares. Two months after her father\u2019s death, Blanche Strong Vincent came into this world. The baby was sickly at birth and never gained full health. Blanche would not live to see her first birthday, an occurrence that was far too common in the 19th century.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Now grieving twice over, Lizzie chose to stay a member of the Vincent household. She never remarried and moved with Boyd Vincent\u2019s family when the Episcopal priest was transferred, first to a church in Pittsburgh, then to another parish in Cincinnati. Lizzie was active in church and community work, conducting art classes for women and authoring two books: <em>Mary, the Mother of Jesus<\/em>, and <em>Madonna in Legend and Art<\/em>. She remained fluent enough in German, French, and Italian to provide translation services and collected a library full of books on art and literature. Lizzie also devoted much of her life to caring for her mentally impaired brother-in-law, Ward Vincent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">She lived for five full decades after her husband\u2019s death, passing away at age 76 in 1914. The equestrienne was buried next to Strong and Blanche in Erie Cemetery. At the center of the family plot is a \u201cVincent\u201d granite memorial with a large Maltese Cross \u2013 the Fifth Corps talisman that Oliver Willcox Norton, Strong Vincent\u2019s flag bearer, carried to the summit of Little Round Top \u2013 engraved beneath the name. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Lizzie knew how much Norton had meant to her husband and was grateful to the bugler for keeping Strong\u2019s legacy alive. In her will, she left him two hundred dollars to buy the best cigars he could find. Norton gently refused the money, donating it instead to a church charity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In 1889, a quarter-century after the battle, a monument to the 83rd Pennsylvania was erected on Little Round Top. Back then, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania\u2019s rules governing Civil War statues forbade memorials that honored individual soldiers. Although it\u2019s clear that the bronze likeness atop the monument was inspired by Vincent, there\u2019s no plaque that explicitly identifies him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The monument shows the 83rd officer drawing a sword out of a scabbard affixed to his waist, which is <em>not<\/em> an accurate depiction of Strong Vincent\u2019s actions on the evening of July 2, 1863. In his memoirs, Norton wrote that Vincent was so rushed when he dismounted at the top of the hill that he forgot to grab the scabbard from his saddle. The only \u201cweapon\u201d Vincent was carrying in those fateful minutes was his wife\u2019s riding crop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The statue of Vincent at Erie\u2019s Blasco Memorial Library, unveiled in 1997, got his heroic stance correct. Not only is he seen waving the riding crop in a menacing way, but he\u2019s depicted looking down \u2013 which given the proximity of the enemy when he jumped onto that boulder, was surely the direction he was staring when struck by the fatal bullet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">*<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The men that Vincent trained and with whom he fought side-by-side had plenty of war left. After Gettysburg, the Third Brigade and its 83rd Regiment fought in a dozen skirmishes and in such major battles as Spotsylvania, the Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and in April of 1865, the final throes of the conflagration at Appomattox Court House. No brigade in the Union Army fought with greater tenacity, perseverance, or \u00e9lan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">One of those fighters, John M. Clark, returned home to Meadville, started McCauley &amp; Clark, a wholesale dealership in fine wines, liquors, ales, and cigars. He also ended up the proprietor of two different hotels and, for eight years, served as chief of Meadville\u2019s fire department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Clark married a local lass named Bessie Banyard in 1862. They had three children and eventually relocated to Snyder in the Oklahoma Territory, where Clark died in 1905, two years before Oklahoma became a state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The hill that Clark, Oliver Willcox Norton, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historyisnowmagazine.com\/blog\/2024\/4\/11\/the-battle-of-gettysburg-part-3-july-2-day-2?rq=Strong%20Vincent%20\"><span>Strong Vincent<\/span><\/a> climbed under duress on the evening of July 2, 1863 was a far cry from the arid West. It looked over jagged rocks, some small creeks, a batch of fertile farmland, and off to the north, a charming village with a seminary and a college. It\u2019s not known if Elizabeth Carter Vincent left a remembrance for Clark\u2019s heirs; surely, though, she had a special place in her heart for the Crawford Countian who comforted her while her husband\u2019s body was being laid to rest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In the months after Gettysburg, Norton enrolled in a special officers training class and become a lieutenant with the Eighth Colored Regiment. In February 1864, he helped lead the Black unit at the Battle of Olustee near Jacksonville, Florida. Olustee did not go well for the Union side. Norton was fortunate that he wasn\u2019t captured, since the Rebels had vowed to execute any White officer caught commanding Black troops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It took three decades, but Norton finally accepted credit for composing \u201cTaps\u201d in 1862 with General Dan Butterfield, then a Fifth Corps brigade commander. The two worked together in taking an old French marching tune and reshaping it as a 24-note homage to the end of a soldier\u2019s day. After more than a century and a half, the Norton-Butterfield collaboration remains a staple of solemn military occasions, a melancholy tribute to the sacrifice of American soldiers that never fails to move its listeners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s not known if Norton played \u201cTaps\u201d on the evening of July 1, 1863, as the Third Brigade troops pitched their tents outside Hanover, but for posterity\u2019s sake, let\u2019s hope that he did. Soon enough that night, Vincent ordered him to blare \u201cAssembly!\u201d, which eventually sent scores of his mates to their deaths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Norton became a successful Gilded Age entrepreneur. He and his brother devised a cost-effective method of manufacturing metal cans. At the turn of the 20th century, their company was acquired by the American Can Company, a spinoff from Andrew Carnegie\u2019s U.S. Steel. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In 1889, the onetime schoolteacher was among the speakers as the 83rd\u2019s monument was being unveiled at Gettysburg. \u201cThrowing himself into the breach, [Vincent] rallied his men, but gave up his own life,\u201d Norton said that day. \u201cIn the very flower of his young manhood, full of the highest promise, with the love of a young wife filling his thoughts of the future with the fairest visions, proud, gentle, tender, true, he laid his gift at his country\u2019s altar. It was done nobly, gladly.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">General Dan Butterfield, Norton\u2019s \u201cTaps\u201d collaborator, wrote after the war that, \u201cNo man who lived and fought in the Battle of Gettysburg did more for his country than Vincent. He was a magnificent soldier, a gentleman of high education and great ability.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">That gentleman of high education was honored by Erie in 1930 when Strong Vincent High School opened. To this day, the school takes up a full city block. Its grand sweep and classic columns are meant to inspire the ideals that Butterfield saw in Vincent: discipline and high moral character. Inspirational quotes are inscribed on the school\u2019s facade, along with the Vincent family coat of arms, an azure shield with a silver and white half-ram above this motto: <em>Vincenti dabitur laurea<\/em>, \u201cThe laurel will be given to the victor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">After 87 years \u2013 Abraham Lincoln\u2019s revered four score and seven \u2013 it closed as a high school, having been consolidated with two other city schools. It was converted into a junior high and is still going \u2013 as it should \u2013 strong. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThrough our great good fortune, in our youth our hearts were touched with fire,\u201d Oliver Wendell Holmes, the great jurist and brevet colonel with the 20th Massachusetts Regiment, wrote of the Civil War generation. \u201cIt was given to us to learn at the outset that life is a profound and passionate thing.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Norton and Clark lived long enough to see the Great War, World War I, decimate a different continent. The pair had fought not only in a great war, but in a Great Cause War. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In the decades following the war, Medal of Honor recipient Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain became something of a <em>beau id\u00e9al<\/em> for the celebration of that cause. Chamberlain delivered scores of speeches all over the country \u2013 North and South \u2013 saluting the Third Brigade\u2019s heroics. But his most memorable remarks, like Norton\u2019s, came a quarter-century after the battle at the dedication of the 20th Maine\u2019s memorial at Gettysburg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThe lesson impressed on me as I stand here and my heart and mind traverse your faces, and the years that are gone, is that in a great, momentous struggle like this commemorated here, it is character that tells,\u201d the teacher of rhetoric said that day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWhat I mean by character is a firm and seasoned substance of soul. I mean such qualities or acquirements as intelligence, thoughtfulness, conscientiousness, right-mindedness, patience, fortitude, long-suffering and unconquerable resolve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Vincent exhibited all of those qualities, Chamberlain said, when with \u201cearnest and prophetic eyes,\u201d he issued his seminal order not to retreat, no matter the circumstance. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Chamberlain reminded his listeners that Vincent had bellowed into his ear \u201cYou understand?\u201d, as Rebel Mini\u00e9 balls tore into the trees around them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI did understand with a heavy weight on my mind and spirit,\u201d Chamberlain shared with his mates. \u201cYou understood \u2013 and it was done. Held \u2013 and at what cost?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The cost, of course, was grievous \u2013 but in the end, utterly worth it. Surely, Strong Vincent sensed what would happen when he leapt onto that boulder. He was our Republic\u2019s Horatius at the most epochal gate in American history. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong><em>Now read more on the Battle of Gettysburg <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.historyisnowmagazine.com\/blog\/2024\/3\/2\/the-battle-of-gettysburg-part-i-general-lees-advance-to-pennsylvania?rq=Battle%20of%20Gettysburg%20\"><span><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><em>Timothy M.
