Tor three hours was desperate, until Hood
was driven back to Atlanta.
While we were in the trenches in front
of Atlanta in August, 1864, the appoint
ment was announced OF General Howard
to succeed Mcpherson in command of the
Army of Tennessee. This Hooker regarded
not only unfair to him, but as personal
! insult from General Sherman. Howard
was much the junior of Hooker in commits

and had not thus far been either so distin

or, against the entreaties of his subordi
mates, asked to be relieved as commander of
the 10Th corps, and the request was grant
ca, both Sherman and Hooker feeling that
they could not longer serve Satisfactorily
together.
Before leaving us he mounted and lode
| along the lines in rear of our intrenchments
to bid his troops goodbye. In SO doing he
was exposed to the enemy's fire, but took
1t cody as usual. Riding with him at the
time, remember a soldier brought from
the front on stretcher. A round shot
had cut off both legs above
the knee, and death was foretold in his
face Hooker dismounted took his hand
and with moist eyes said: my poor fellow,
is there anything I can do for you?" Eyes,
was the answer, don't leave us. Stay with
us, General; we can't go right without you.
I could die happier if I only knew you
would stay" The General often recalled
that last incident of the battlefield. Hook
ers last years were peaceful At Cincin.
natl he met and married Miss Olivia Groes-
beck, sister Of the distinguished William
S. Groesbeck. It was his first marriage,
and his welded life was short. His wife
died IN Paris, and Hooker returned and
made his home in New York. He had a
stroke Of paralysis, think about 1868, and
always after that required the aid of faith
