Three weeks after the Battle of Glendale, a comrade of fallen soldier George White in the 19th Massachusetts Infantry writes to the father: "He did not speak after he received the second shot. Everything that belonged to Geo. was lost. The rebels came down on them so suddenly that they did not have time even to take his watch. . . . He was a general favorite with all. He was a good soldier. He went into the field and received the enemies fire without flinching and fell as brave a man as there is in this or any other army."
