| Brigadier General Garnett, reaching the Angle, calls out to
the 28th
Virginia, "Faster men - faster! We're almost there." The Rebels
approached the wall, their line in complete disarray. When they got to
within 20 yards of the stone wall, the 69th Pennsylvania unleashed a
devastating volley directly into their midst. Staggered and shattered,
the Confederates kept on coming.
General Garnett was struck and killed instantly. His body was never identified. General Garnett's black charger - Red Eye - amazingly survived the onslaught and was later seen galloping toward the Confederate lines.
