from contributor David Richards (46564851):
A comrade, Jacob Weidensall and native of Hollidaysburg, wrote shortly after the battle at Kernstown: "Paul Lang was as brave a man as ever Shouldered a gun. he was shot through the thigh but did not quit firing till a ball went through his bowels. he fell not more then fifteen yards of the Rebels. after the fight was over, I came by him. he spoke to me, held out his hand saying, Good bye Jake I am going."
Paul M. Long's military service record with the 84th P.V. at the National Archives in Washington, DC mistakenly records his name as "PAUL McLANG"
