There was sharp skirmishing through

was found that the summit had been

All the camps below were astir at the
earliest dawn, and every eye searching
for signs which would show who held
the summit. A few moments before

out on the rock which forms the over
hanging point of the mountain, They
carried a flag, but kept it furled,

Sherman, having crossed the Tennes-

contemplated, toward Missionary

Sherman assaulted the real extremity
of the ridge and though the troops he
ordered forward fought with desper-
ate valor, his movement was altogether
unsuccessful, Later, in order to re-
lieve Sherman, Thomas was ordered to
advance the center against the rifle pit

1 always did my duty, but am forced
to believe that the feelings [ had
when drawn up in line Of battle were
shared by my comrades, who never
dared to acknowledge them. Facing
large body of men with guns, and
not knowing what moment one Of
them will send ball through you, is

ultant. In my case | was always
ready and willing to turn and run,
only awaiting for someone to make the
start. How often when about to enter

Now, if this fellow next to me would
only make a start, how thankful l
would be- But pride and sense of
duty will hold men together. AS L
said, L have not the least doubt that
many men felt just as did, no mat ter
how they can talk now. And, when
you consider that we always stood on
our ground. it shows how strongly
pride can influence our actions.
81 remember once, while our caval-
ny troops were out upon o skirmish,
we too vantage position upon hill
that rose out of plain. From there
we could see the enemy gradually sur
round us. This to one of my temper
ament caused extreme nervousness.
When there was but q small opening
remaining at one point and that rap
idly being closed, l went to the COM
mading officer and suggested that he
had better order retreat while such
thing was possible. He refused to
do it, saying that he was going to
stand his ground. 1 knew this was
sure death, and would have readily
put spurs to my horse and ridden to
safety had not my sense Of duty and
pride impelled me to remain with my
officer. He was sitting his horse calm
ly, taking in the situation, when l
came to him the second time to make
suggestion. But did not have to

me in manner that prevented argu-
ment.
"The bullets were flying about thick
and fast, and just as l was about to adj
dress the officer n stray one struck him
in the wrist OF the hand which held
the reins. The ball shattered the
bone and the reins dropped from the
helpless hand. Before the officer
could recover the reins with his other
hand the horse bolted, and, strangely,
started on dead run for the one
place which offered a way of escape.

and it was the most cheerful duty |
found during the war. spurred my
horse and soon was at his heels. We
got away all right, but the company of
cavalrymen on the hill were with few
exceptions captured and sent to An
Jacksonville Prison, and but small
percentage ever came out alive. That
is how runaway horse saved my life,
l never went into action without q
dread and fear of death. This may
be looked upon as the stamp of a cow
ard, yet hardly think it is fair to
give such name to person who
never shirked duty. To me the brave
man is not the one who recklessly,
without thought, plunges into the
thick of battle, but rather the man
who, while realizing the danger and
approaching the uncertainty OF life,
still keeps to TIE path of duty"
