buckhunter,

The 42nd Regt. was opposite Devil's Den, Gettysburg, on July 2, 1863 and held. I have read Confederate records and often read where they despised "The Bucktail" worn by the Original Bucktails (42nd Regiment) and the "New Bucktails, the 149th PA Volunteer Infantry). The Rebs considered the Bucktails "Scary Dudes." LOL.
