Pen of a Veteran.
I was in the disastrous skirmish known as
the Town Creek expedition, under General
G. M. Dodge. My Company and Co. of
our regiment were ordered to support two
pieces of flying artillery in advance of the
main column. Only fifteen of our command
reached the points designated; and in our
retreat to the main army were rendered
unfit for duty, and sent to the hospital.
After three months, 1 returned to duty and
renamed with my regiment until May Z,
1864, and on that day, at the battle of Balm
bridge, [ with thirty-three others of our
regiment were taken prisoners of war. We
arrived at Andersonyille on or about the
fifth day Of June, where l remained until
the last of December, during which time I
contracted the scurvy to such an extent that
my left leg was contracted to its uttermost,
being black from the foot to about halfway
between the knee and hip: and in this
horrible condition l left Andersonville for
Florence, South Carolina, where | remained
prisoner until February 26. Our exchange
papers We're 81 gned at East Ferry, making
me a prisoner of war nine months and
twenty days. From that day to this have
suffered from scurvy, causing indigestion
and constipation to such an extent that from
December 26 to March 1S 1 had only eight
operations of the bowels. Since I was
mustered out of service, July 9, 1861 I have
tried the very best physicians, but they
could give me very little relief On March
II, 1890, the Kickapoo Indians came here
with their remedies. / commenced taking
the Indian Sagwa March IS, and had an
operation Of the bowels that day, and after
the third day l had an operation of the
bowels every day. 1 now have no pains.
My appetite is restored. | am gaining in
strength every day, and I thank God they
came here with their remedies. I am
totally blind, and have been for five years,
Tor which the government gives me pen
sion of seventy-two dollars per month, but
am happy and contented, thanks to Sagwa.
In conclusion, dear comrades, I will say
l want you who are suffering as I did so
long with scurvy and the ills that follow it,
to write to me, and | will cheerfully answer
your letters for the love l bear you and
suffering humanity. | am member of
