In a diary that was kept by William Cline, a soldier in Company "B" of
the 73rd Ohio, it refers to William Cline's attitude about (then) Captain
Higgins. It states: — Cline harbored particular disdain for his company
commander, Capt. Thomas W. Higgins. He accuses Higgins of indifference
to the plight of his wounded men at Gettysburg: Hea thoughte no more of
a wounded Man than you woulde of a chicken 2 Dayes Olde one time Hea
ware cursinge a Boute His company and wanted to know where the Devel
they ware one man spocke upe fore Him to gow Righte upe to That fence
and Hea woulde finde the Reste whate ware note kilde or wounded ande the
Reply ware with a sner is thate sow. (17r-v) Indeed, he attributes Co.
B's heavy casualties in the battle to Higgins's eagerness to impress his
superiors, arguing that many were lost "juste on the count of 2 leves on
a sholder of T. W. Higens and to gite complimented by the colonel"
