Crumpler - Weekly Standard, Raleigh, 30 Jul 1862 The Weekly Standard (Raleigh, North Carolina), Wednesday 30 July 1862, page 1. The paper's notice of his death from a minie ball through the lungs, received in the charge below Richmond. The editor had spoken with him a few days before the battle and recalled his stand in the House of Commons: he had opposed the dissolution of the Union until Lincoln's proclamation, but promised that if the South were coerced he and his friends would be found as far in front as those most anxious for war. "Most nobly has he redeemed his pledge." (Image from Newspapers.com.)
