Elmira, Maj o. E. Hine Of Vienna, Va, and
Capt. Personius Of Brookton, MY, we're au-
thorized to engage a historian who should write
a complete history OF the engineer bri-
gade. After extending to Secretary
Samuel b. Williams the thanks of the
organization for his excellent management of
his office the business meeting was adjourned
and then the fun began. Jibes and jokes fol-
lowed each other in quick succession, and
though the rain poured outside the spirits Of
those In the tent was not dampened for an in
slant.
A history of the engineer brigade will form
most interesting book. The experiences Of
POSITIONS were always uncomfortably warm. for
TO them belonged the duty of clearing the way
for an army's progress. Out in the front cutting
from before them the trees that formed
their own protection, and often without arms
to defend themselves they threw bridges across
OF the enemy. At Fredericksburg the
loss In the engineer brigade amounted
to slaughter. In their attempts
to cross the Rappahannock on the 18th of De-
cember, 1862, the killed averaged forty-two
out of every hundred men. Not until the
Union battery of 240 guns opened on the city
did their efforts meet with success.

rel he continued his ascent at one pace, crossing

situation. By his main strength he forced the
soldier down, but In the struggle the latter lost
