generous friends who having kept Colo
mel Stotsenburg in loving memory. have
sent this evidence Of their sympathy
to the survivors of him who sought
and succeeded in making Nebraska's
patriotic sons invincible! Little did /
think. when in that torrid sun .scorched
cline. watched the splendid bearing
Of the fearless First Nebraska, and saw
the pride Of my gallant husband, as he
put those brave mon through skilled
nanoeuvres. they would soon be en-
trapped by their vigilant foes, and he res
cued at the cost Of their colonel. To
my last hour on earth, shall the memory
of the First Nebraska live 10 my heart
Of hearts, and my children be taught to
love the regiment whose hearts their
father won. It's one Of my saddest
pleasures to remember that the splendid
results achieved by the First, were
largely attributable to it's colonel's entire
devotion, to its welfare and technique.
