  8. 
  Drummer 
  Boy 
  of 
  the 
  Fighting 
  Fifth 
  After 
  Gaines 
  Mills. 
  

  

  Robert 
  F. 
  Daly, 
  New 
  York 
  City, 
  was 
  a 
  drummer 
  boy 
  before 
  he 
  was 
  

   13 
  and 
  had 
  seen 
  17 
  battles. 
  He 
  endeared 
  himself 
  to 
  his 
  regiment, 
  the 
  

   First 
  Duryee 
  Zouaves, 
  especially 
  at 
  Gaines 
  Mills, 
  where 
  he 
  carried 
  

   water 
  to 
  the 
  men 
  fighting, 
  from 
  a 
  spring 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  mile 
  to 
  the 
  

   rear. 
  On 
  the 
  7-day 
  retreat 
  to 
  the 
  ships 
  the 
  men 
  carried 
  the 
  boy 
  on 
  

   their 
  shoulders. 
  When 
  the 
  regiment 
  returned 
  to 
  New 
  York, 
  the 
  boy's 
  

   father 
  discovered 
  him 
  in 
  line, 
  snatched 
  him 
  from 
  the 
  march, 
  and 
  sent 
  

   him 
  back 
  to 
  school. 
  

  

  9. 
  The 
  Signal. 
  After 
  the 
  Battle 
  of 
  Big 
  Bethel. 
  John 
  Tregaskis, 
  Brooklyn, 
  

  

  N. 
  Y., 
  Fifth 
  New 
  York 
  Volunteer 
  Infantry, 
  Duryee 
  Zouaves. 
  

  

  After 
  the 
  Battle 
  of 
  Big 
  Bethel 
  the 
  Union 
  forces 
  were 
  marching 
  by 
  

   parallel 
  roads 
  in 
  pursuit 
  of 
  the 
  enemy. 
  During 
  the 
  night 
  at 
  the 
  cross- 
  

   roads 
  they 
  fired 
  at 
  each 
  other. 
  To 
  avoid 
  a 
  repetition 
  of 
  the 
  error 
  

   they 
  used 
  the 
  white 
  of 
  their 
  turbans 
  around 
  their 
  arm 
  as 
  a 
  signal. 
  

  

  10. 
  The 
  First 
  Sharps 
  Rifle. 
  Homer 
  D. 
  Jennings, 
  St. 
  Cloud, 
  Fla. 
  

  

  The 
  Sharps 
  rifle 
  was 
  used 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  before 
  Gaines 
  Mills, 
  Va. 
  

   It 
  was 
  a 
  repeating 
  rifle 
  and 
  was 
  used 
  by 
  the 
  Fifth 
  New 
  York 
  Volunteer 
  

   Infantry, 
  Duryee 
  Zouaves. 
  There 
  were 
  just 
  enough 
  of 
  the 
  rifles 
  to 
  arm 
  

   the 
  end 
  men 
  of 
  companies, 
  but 
  the 
  effect 
  upon 
  the 
  opposing 
  forces 
  was 
  

   bewildering 
  and 
  disastrous. 
  General 
  Sykes 
  was 
  in 
  command. 
  

  

  11. 
  Adelaide 
  Smith. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  Army 
  nurses. 
  

  

  She 
  volunteered 
  at 
  Brooklyn, 
  was 
  with 
  Grant's 
  army 
  through 
  the 
  

   Peninsular 
  campaign, 
  especially 
  during 
  the 
  last 
  years 
  of 
  the 
  Civil 
  War.
