at Antietam in 1862, and the prettiest

This boy had managed TO climb up
into the forks Of tee, and had
probably been at WORK. on his scheme
several days before the ARMIES came
up, for when they 2ot on the ground
he had entrenche4. himself up in the
forks Of the tr,e with feather beds,
pillows and bs.lsters, apparently four

prepared tor q siege, too, with both

old squirrel rifle picked off more
subordinate officers in few hours
than the army had lost before IN

Antietam, at the point where the
battle was fought, Is narrow, but 1t Is
very deep. and there seemed really no
way to dislodge TIN, fearfully de-
structive enemy, SO the union army
