tures of fierce battletields where beloved
friends we're shot and sabered, where the
pinnacle of human anguish was touched,
and where defeat and victory were alike
clouded with the blood Of thousands.
Right inside the door. on the ground
floor of the museum, In the midst OF
pile of ordinances and ammunition, stands
the figure of powerful big horss with
sweeping tail and name, bridled
and saddled, with right forefoot raised,
the decentralization of the sturdy war
horse.
Many warriors of the Blue and Gray
would not have to read the placard On
the base of the figure to recognize this
horse. He was known alike in the
Southern and Northern armies. In life
he was Winchester, the famous war horse
Of General Phil Sheridan. He died in
1878. and General Sheridan employed q
noted taxidermist to remove the skin
and mount it exactly as Winchester
looked in the war days. Many poets
have been tired by the deeds of Winohest-
or to pen ringing rhymes about the war,
for the horse was in forty seven engage
ments, some OF them the hottest and
most bloody in the long struggle. Many
soldiers Thought that he had a charmed
life. Horses and men, all around him
and his rider, were shot down day after
day, but when the scene at Appomattox
closed the war, he had scarcely scar
as @ memento of the many conflicts.
WINCHESTER'S BIOGRAPHY.
Gen. Sheridan presented the stuffed
body Of Winchester to the Governors Is
land Museum, and penned the following
biography of the horse:
Winchester was of Black Hawk blood,
and was foaled at or near Grand Rapids,
Mich, late In the fall Of 1859, according
| to the best of my information. He was
brought into the service by an officer of
the Second Michigan Cavalry, OF which
regiment l was appointed Colonel on
the 25th day of May. 1862. Shortly after
ward, and while the regiment was sta
| toned at the little town Of Rienzi, in
the State of Mississippi, he was presented
to me by Capt. Campbell, in the namo
of the officers of the regiment, and from
that date until the close of the war he
was ridden by NE III nearly every en-

OF the war.

AN HISTORIC FLAG.
OF the flags, the most interesting is one
belonging to the Fourth United States
Artillery. 1t has as many bullet holes in
it that little of the flag is left. But 1t
figured in four successful wars, and that
is a record surpassed by only very few
battlefags. Attached to 1t is an inscrip-
tion of the battles in which it figured,
and they tell their own stories as follows:
Chippewa, G. W.; Niagara, N. y; Fort
Erie, (lSl9); Fort Drane. e. T.. ll839),
Palo Alto, Resaoa de la Palma Moline
del Rey, Chapultepec, City Of Mexico
(1S46-47); Green Brier River, Cheat
Mountain, Shiloh, Port Republic, White
Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, Antietam,
Chapel Hills. fredericksburg, Murfrees-
boro, Charlottesville, Gettysburg,
Chickamauga, Spottsy lvania, Petersburg,
Bethesda Church, Cold Harbor, Frank
lin. Hatcher's Run (1861 -'65).
Another interesting flag is one pre-
sented by General Hancock with an au-
tograph letter. 1t was his headquarters
flag, and the fact that it has score OF
bullet holes and Is in badly battered
| condition shnws that its owner was not
in the habit of locating outside the range
of danger. General Hanoock's letter says
that the flag was carried at the head OF
the Second Army Corps, Army of the
Potomac, in all the battles of the Wildor-
ness, and the last fight it figured in was
| the assault on the Confederate works az

A list of the forty seven battles nnd
engagements in which Winchester figured
is appended to the biography, but to
repeat them would only be to chronicle
the best known battles Of the war.
THE OLD HORSE REMEMBERED.
A few of the old soldiers who followed
Sheridan in all of his famous rides and
who have reverence for the old war
horse make the short journey yearly to
Governors Island and place some loose
flowers around the hoofs of the charger.
1t is simple little task, unaccompanied
by the flying Of flags, waving banners,
or the strains of martial music, but 1t
bespeaks volume OF tender feeling and
loving memory.
