THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF
THE GREAT BEEF CONTRACT
by MARK Tw AIN.

10 as few words rs possible | wish
howsoevcr small, have had in this
mattcr-this matter which has so ex
erciscd the public mind, enrcndered
so much ill.ieeling, and so filled the
newspapers Of both continents with
distorted statements aid cx,ravigint
comments.
The origin of this distressful thing
was this and assert here that every
fact in the following resume can be
amply proved by the official records
of the General Government.
John Wilson Mackcuzie, OF Rotter-
dam, Chemung County. New Jersey,
deceased, contracted with the General
Government, on or before the l0;h
day OF October. 1861, to furnish to
General Sherman the sun total OF
thirty barrels of beef. Very well.
lie started after Sherman with the
beef, but when he got to Washington
Sherman had gone TO Manassas, 50
he took the beef and followed him
there, but arrived too late he followed
him to Nashville, and from Nashville
to Chattanooga to Atlanta--but he
never could overtake him. At Atlanta
he took fresh start aud followed him
clear through his march to the sea
lie arrived too late again by n few
days, but hearing that Sherman was
going on, in the Quaker City excursion
TO the Holy Land, he took shipping
for Bcirnt, calculating to head oil the
other vessel. When he arrived in Je-
rusalem with his beef he learned that
Sherman had not sailed in the Qua
ker City, but had gone to the Plains
to fight the Indians. lie returned to
America and started for tho Rocky
Mount ius. Alter eighteen days OF
arduous travel on the L iains, and when
hc had got within four miles OF Sher-
mans headquarters, he was toma-
hawked aud scalped, and the Indians
got the beef, They got oil OF it but
one barrel. Sherman's army csptur-
cd that, aud so, even in death, the
bold navigator partly fulfilled his
contract. ln his will, which he had
kept like a Journal, he bequeathsd the
Contract to his son Bartholomew w
