In Memoriam: Colonel Strong Vincent, of the V Corps, who with quick wits and even quicker thinking, saved Little Round Top, and with it the entire left flank of the Union Army, for the Federals. For this action, he was rewarded with a mortal wound and a deathbed promotion to Brigadier General. Three cheers for Colonel Strong Vincent: the Savior of Gettysburg!
