Description
Lt. Colonel Charles R. Mudge, 2nd Massachusetts, KIA at Gettysburg, CDV
CDV by Whipple of Boston. Young Mudge had joined the 2nd Massachusetts as a first lieutenant in May 1861 and was wounded at Winchester in May 1862. Promoted to lieutenant colonel just before the Battle of Gettysburg, Mudge was killed leading a hopeless charge across Spangler's Meadow on the morning of July 3rd. When handed the instructions by brigade commander Silas Colgrove's orderly, Mudge replied, "Well, it is murder, but that's the order." Mudge ordered the charge and was dead within minutes.
