The colors were shot into shreds; both flagstaffs were shot in pieces by grape-shot, and three color bearers were shot down. Out of 350 men that went into this charge, 13 officers and 250 men were killed or wounded. Quite a few of similarly seen views have accumulated in the Liljenquist Collection at the LoC. This is housed in a leatherette case without the locking clasp. The image itself looks like there is wrinkling, however, this is just the emulsion.
