Theodore Winthrop, American soldier, (1872). Artist: John A O Neill

Theodore Winthrop, American soldier, (1872). Winthrop (1828-1861) was killed at Great Bethel on 10 June 1861. At the Battle of Big Bethel he volunteered for General Ebenezer Pierces staff and drew up a crude plan of battle. After a Federal attack to the enemy right flank was foiled, Major Winthrop lead an ill-fated assault on the Confederate left held by four companies of the 1st Regiment North Carolina Infantry, under the command of Colonel (later Lieutenat General) Daniel Harvey Hill. Winthrop leaped onto the trunk of a fallen tree and yelled, One more charge boys, and the day is ours. Soon thereafter he was killed by a musket ball to the heart and became the premier casualty for the northern side in what history regards as the first pitched land battle of the American Civil War.
