Footnote: In his after Gettysburg battle report, Colonel Calvin A. Craig, commanding the 105th Pennsylvania Infantry wrote, "The regiment never fought better or with more enthusiasm. The list of casualties proves with what determination they contested every inch of ground. All seemed to feel that they were fighting on the soil of their native State, and that they would either conquer or yield up their lives in her defense."
