While bearing the national colors of his regiment as his unit was engaged in a desperate rear-guard action on the McPherson Farm: Sergeant Crippen lagged behind the main line of his unit, repeatedly turning to shake his fist at the oncoming Confederates before he was struck-down in a hail of bullets, killing Crippen instantly.
