A reliable historian states that Luther C. Ladd was the first to die
From Detzer, David. Dissonance: The Turbulent Days Between Fort Sumter and Bull Run. New York: Harcourt, 2006.
ISBN978-0-15-603064-9. p. 119: "The first to die was Private Luther C. Ladd, born in New Hampshire on his father's farm."...."Corporal Needham, a plasterer from Lawrence...was shot in the neck, then smashed by the crowd and kicked to a pulp. He lingered in Baltimore for eight days before dying of his wounds." The article on
Luther C. Ladd with two citations, one contemporary from Harper's Weekly, support this. I have revised this article accordingly.
