Post Warming account.
The famed 1st Maryland Regiment had a Hound mascot. On the 3rd day of the Gettysburg at Culps Hill, the first Maryland made a grand charge apon the federal defenders but were repulsed. When the smoke cleared 31 rebels and a Hound layed dead at the front of the federal men. I thought i would share that interresting account!

It is an interesting account Waylon...thank you for sharing. Being an animal lover, I truly enjoy hearing about the brave mascots of the CW, but I'm also horrified at the sheer numbers of animals (mainly horses) that were killled during this four year struggle.
