MI DEAR SIR: Permit me to couch
this article in the form of letter with
q view to rid it somewhat of the charge
OF egotism. since you ask me for the
most interesting personal adventure
you % had during the war"
The adventure" selected. which I
think has never been published in its
detail, occurred in the midst of Sher-
mans phenomenal Atlanta campaign,
that campaign of more than one
hundred days, where the most
of his men were under fire every
day, excepting about three days
rest after the confederates had de-
clined battle near Gainesville, Ga,
and crossed to the south side of the
Etowah river. That was a delicious
rest, memorable to me because sher-
man had there brusquely and strongly
defended my temperance habit, say
ing: Let Howard alone, j want an
officer who don't drink When the
three days were ended, we pressed on
to fight in succession the battles of
New Hope Church. Dallas, Picket's
Mill, and the skirInishes about Pine
Top, where Bishop Polk met his sad
fate.
In those engagements, with inter
mediate moves and counter moves,
much time was consumed. After
Folks death Johnston. the confeder-
ate general in command on June Is,

parallel with the twin mountains, the

Part of his right brigades had been
but little, if any, changed in position.
There was weak point near the
middle.
Our troops quickly catching sight Of
the moving confederates rushed for

unprepared. l was following one Of
my brigades (Gen. Harker's. of the
Fourth corpsl. AS | was emerging

such rapid fire of rifles as to keep down

count OF the higher price asked fol

the artistic excellence OF the engray.

While by far the most important
use OF this wood Is for the cngraver's
art, it is also applied to numerous
other purposes, such, for instance, as
weaving shuttles, mathematical in.
struments, turnery uses, carving and
cabinet work. The fact Is interest.
