After the battle, President Lincoln was visiting the troops when a rebel sniper tried to take him out. A young soldier not recognizing the President pulled Lincoln down and said something to the effect of that Lincoln was a damn fool. The young soldier was future Supreme Court Justice, Oliver Wendel Holmes Jr.
