Union General Isaac Stevens seated on a porch in March of 1862 near Beaufort, South Carolina. Stevens was the first governor of Washington Territory. During the Battle of Chantilly on September 1, 1862, he rallied his men by picking up the fallen regimental colors of his old regiment and shouting "Highlanders, my Highlanders, follow your general!" Charging with his troops while carrying the banner of Saint Andrew's Cross, Stevens was struck in the temple by a bullet and died instantly.
