From a letter printed in the Flint Wolverine Weekly (Flint Michigan) May 3 1862, signed Frank, p. 2, col 2-3. Frank tells of the Berdan Sharpshooters at Yorktown Va..

"Berdan Sharp Shooters are doing this work. They occupy the extreme front and when a rebel makes his appearance they drop him, They have a book and as fast as they shoot them they make a mark. One man went as high as fifteen he killed in a single day."
