papers during the operations about Vscksburg.
One of the remarkably narrow escapes from
death and capture that the General had in the
earlier part of the war is tod very vividly.
though in the simplest language 1t was at the
time of the battle of Belmont, shortly before the
capture of Forts Henry and Donelson. Fear
ing that the enemy, which had been seen cross-s
ing the river 1.-THE Mississippi. below, might be
coming upon the federal troops unawares. Gen.
eral Grant rode out in a large field that was in
front of his troops to see whether the enemy
was passing. He was alone The field was
grown up with corn so tall and thick to cut OF
the view of even person on horseback, excepS
directly along the rows. Even In that directlons
owing to the overhanging blades or
corn the view was not extensive. inc
General mad not gone more than a few hundred
yards when he saw body of troops marching
past him, not fifty yards away. He looked at
them Tor moment. and saw they were the enc
my. He turned his horse toward the river,
starting back first at walk and then, when he
thought himself concealed from the view of the
hostile troops, going as fast as his horse could
cary him. When he reached the river bank he
still had to ride several hundred yards to the
point where the nearest transport lay. The corn
field in front of the federal troops terminated
at the edge of dense forest. Before the General
got back the enemy had entered the forest
and had opened brisk fire on the boats The
Union men were, by this time, either on board
the transports or very near them. Those
who were not already on board soon got there,
and the boats pushed off, General Grant was at
this moment the only man of the Union army
between the rebels and the Union transports
The captain of boat that had just pushed off
but had not started, most fortunately, at this
critical moment, recognized the General, and at
once ordered the engineer not TO start the engine
He then had narrow plank run out to the shore
for General Grant. The latters horse seemed
to take in the situation. There was no path

perpendicular. But, without hesitation or urg-
ing the horse put his fore feet over the bank,
and, with his hind feet we'll under him. slid down
the steep bank and trotted safely aboard the
boat, twelve or fifteen feet from shore, and over
a single gang plank, carrying his master securely
out of harms way.
