A Confederate soldier of the 26th North Carolina Infantry: “As soon as the fire of the artillery ceased, General Pettigrew, his face lit up with the bright look it always wore when in battle, rode up to Colonel Marshall, in command of the brigade, and said: ‘Now Colonel, for the honor of the good Old North State, Forward.’ Colonel Marshall promptly repeated the command, which taken up by the regimental commanders, the Twenty-sixth marched down the hill into the valley between the two lines.” -- from George Underwood’s history of the 26th North Carolina, in Histories of the Several Regiments and Battalions from North Carolina in the Great War 1861-65, more commonly called North Carolina Regiments, edited by Walter Clark, volume 2, page 103
