Reports show that Chaplain Mailley,
of the First Nebraska regiment was
made Of the right kind of stuff. This
is what a member of his regiment said
Of him: "The chaplain did more fight
ing than preaching. He was always on
the firing line with a rifle when there
was any fighting going on, and he was
the quickest to show up with chickens
when it was over of any man in the
regiment. We always wondered how
he could find so many chickens. When
things would quiet down for two or
three days Chaplain Mailley would
disappear from the regiment and you
could always find him in the hospitals
cheering up the sick and wounded. He
was all right, our chaplain was, and
the boys all liked him."
