Illinois 34th., Infantry, Regimental History,
p. 118, The Thirty-Fourth was deployed in line of battle during the halt, facing the lines of the enemy. After the rain ceased, the sharpshooters of the enemy began firing occasional shots at our
regimental line. Jesse Berlin, of Company I, was killed, and one man in Company D., was wounded. Berlin was a good target. He wore a red shirt, and had laid his blouse off, making him an easy mark.
