While his regiment was retreating, voluntarily gave up his horse to his brigade
commander who had been unhorsed and was in danger of capture, thereby enabling him to
rejoin and rally the disorganized troops. Sgt. Ferrier himself was captured and confined
in Confederate prisons, from which he escaped and, after great hardship, rejoined the
Union lines.
