recollectons to pass athwart our mind as
We noticed his empty sleeve He lost his
arm i'll the bitches on Marye's heights at
Fredericksburg some twenty years ngo.
We were in ten feet of him when the can
non ball from Stafford heights cut of his
good right arm, and saw the solid shot re.
bounding on the heights after it had done
its bloody work. When the surgeons took
OFT his coat to examine the wound the arm
dropped out OF the sleeve, the ball cut it
clear from the shoulder. Since the war he
has lost couple Of fingers from his left
hand. And yet he is not discouraged
Out OF such material heroes are made.
