This is Abner Monroe Perrin born Edgefield County, South Carolina born Feb 8th 1827 fought in Gettysburg and other engagements.

"Maj. Gen. Edward "Allegheny" Johnson's division was captured on May 12, 1864, units from the Third Corps—including Perrin's brigade—were called in to help. Leading his troops in a spirited counterattack through a very heavy fire, with his sword in hand, Perrin fell from his horse pierced by seven bullets. He died instantly.

I thought this was just me :(

I cant copy either. I just did a quick test, seems its browser related. Internet Explorer wont let me select the text to copy, but firefox will.

PS - If you dont want to switch browser, just hit 'quote' copy the text from there and then delete all the text.
