McKinley’s Monument near the Burnside Bridge. Two miles behind the line, Commissary Sgt. William McKinley gathered up stragglers and directed them to prepare rations for the 23rd Ohio and loaded up two wagons with cooked meat, pork, beans, crackers and a barrel of hot coffee. Asking for volunteers, McKinley and another man set out for the front. After twice being ordered to turn around and when almost in site of the regiment, McKinley’s volunteer John A. Harvey recalled: “He made one more appeal to me to run the blockade; he himself risking his life in taking the lead, I following and the horses going at full speed past the blockade. We had the back end of the wagon shot away by a small cannon shot. In a very few minutes, we were safe in the midst of the half-famished regiment.” (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Mann, Ohio National Guard historian)
