The following table, furnished by our beloved Comrade, Sylvester Byrne,
was the last letter the Philadelphia Brigade Association ever received
from that noble soul--that Comrade who loved his Regiment and Brigade
with ardent and unfaltering affection. To the very last he was faithful to
and watchful of his Command. The statement was furnished for the purpose
of correcting some errors relative to the actual losses of the
Philadelphia Brigade. The table is printed just as it was given by Comrade
Byrne, and is regarded as his sacred contribution to the Brigade's reply
to Haskell's charge of cowardice:

The total loss in killed, wounded and missing of the Philadelphia Brigade
at Gettysburg was over 32 per cent., about one soldier slain to every
three engaged in the battle. Call you this "running like rabbits?"

The total loss of the Philadelphia Brigade during the Civil War was 3,533,
of which number 545 were killed, wounded and missing at Antietam, the
remaining loss of nearly three thousand was sustained in the 45
engagements in which the Brigade took part, and yet with the evidence of
this loss, furnished by the United States Government and easily accessible
to all, and on file in the library of the Loyal Legion of Mass
