________________________________________________________
In Memory of my 4th great grandfather Charles, Who will always be a hero in my eye's as well as others who knew him or knew of him. A great military leader, a great father and devoted husband, family man and friend.
The following below was taken from Genealogy of John Ewell. Charles P. Sprout married, and had three children, Charles C, Frank & Anna L. Mr. Sprout had the same desire with his friends and associates in general, to crush the late rebellion in its infancy, and he was one who took a lively interest in organizing the 28th N. Y. Volunteer regiment, being one of the first to place his name on the roll as a private. In due time the gallant 28th was mustered into service and received marching orders, and Mr. Sprout held Major's commission in the regiment.
The major was ever at his post of duty, and shared the trails and fatigues of the march and the camp with his comrades in arms. At the battle of Cedar Mountain, on the 9th of July 1862, his regiment was in the advance, and as the Major was leading in the fearful combat, a missile of death was hurled at him from the enemy, and he fell from his horse dead, saying, "Fight On Boys, Until You Conquer Or Die!"
"The chilling words that gave at time of his death gave them all the will to fight on, though the battle was not victorious one as the confederate side took victory. It resulted in A total of 314 killed, 1,445 wounded and 594 missing on the Union side and, 231 killed and 1,107 wounded on the confederate side, a total of 2,353 Union & 1,338 Confederate, causalities and losses for both sides. Him and his courage on the battlefield, will never be forgotten nor with the other brave men who lost their lives that day. 152 year's later I come by here to honor him and the fellow men who had served in the battle of cedar mountain.
sincerely, Charles 4th great granddaughter,
