There is a circumstance blazoned in
the pages Of an accredited work known
as THE History of the Indiana Soldier
that always makes me laugh when i
read it, not publicly or uproariously. but
with a subdued and sheepish shyness
and a sort Of a dad-burn-his-extrava-

panies of the Eleventh Indiana left Pa

Tennessee river, with Murray. the coun-
ty seat Of Galloway county. as an OBJ
j~ective point. We carried two pieces Of
artillery, and were otherwise amply
equipped for emergencies. The march
was made in the night through a rough
stretch Of timber land In a drizzling rain
that tempered the adhesive mud to a
consistency which rendered the transpor-
tation of a large section Of the country
imperative, as It stuck to our feet in
flakes as large as bacon sides. Presently
the advance guard reported the enemy
in sight. The major in command hur-
ried US forward. and soon We came in
