Capt. Hillyer led the regiment at Gettysburg (The Wheatfield), after all
senior officers were killed or wounded.
Capt. Hillyer's report on Gettysburg (from the Official Records):
"There were many officers and men who displayed a degree of daring and heroism which
challenges admiration in the very highest degree, and the whole regiment behaved with
its customary steadiness and devotion, as the loss of 189 out of 340 carried into the
field will testify."
Submitted by Wright Sullivan, GGGrandson of Capt. Hillyer.
