Right about now, in 1863, came one of my favorite moments of the Battle of Gettysburg. Division commander Maj Gen Alex Hays, of Pittsburgh, seeing that his division had smashed the rebel attack, kissed his aide-de-camp, grabbed a reb flag, mounted his horse, and rode his line dragging it behind him

Hays' aides followed his lead, as depicted in the 1910 painting above. In one account, Hays tied a reb flag to his horse's tail, as well. Every regiment in his division noted this ride, as Hays was cheered by his men and fired at by angry Secesh. Who missed.

I was a little confused at first because the uniforms look gray.
