Chapter 19

The chapter starts with the regiment getting ready to charge the enemy. They start running through an open field toward a grove of trees where they know the rebels are. They are almost there when the rebels start firing on them and many soldiers are killed. They then stop just outside the woods and are being slaughtered. Henry starts to run forward and leads the regiment in to the begging of the trees. They are still being kill when Wilson fires the first shot. That wakes up the regiment and they all start to return fire. Henry realizes that they can't stay there or they will all die so he and Wilson start running toward a crossing. A soldier holding the American flag was shot and killed so Henry and Wilson grab the flag and start running with it toward the crossing. Where did Henry get his great courage and manhood?
