9TH and 9Th of May Gen. Harry
T. Hays being wounded and Gen.
Leroy Stafford killed thier Brig
AIDES, both from Louisiana, We're
consolidated and Col. York was
placed in command, with the rank
of Brigadier General, dating from
June 2, 1854. At the third battle
of Winchester, Sept. 10, 1864,
General York left arm was shat
tered by charge of grape, ne
cessitating amputation.
We next find the indomitable
York, before his arm was healed,
in the "closing scence" of the
heroic Confederate struggle at
.Yadkin River, North Carolina,
obeying orders and stubbornly
holding the bridge across that
river until the passage Of Presi-
dent Davis and Cabinet was safe
ly made" To the bombastic de-
mand of Gen. Stoneman for an
unconditional surrender of the
bridge and troops, York's defiant
reply was, leone and take them. %
The fighting over the bridge con-
tinued for several days, when
Johnston drove Stoneman away.
Stoneman had 1000 troops and II
guns, while York had less than
1000 men and three pieces of ar
tillery.
Gen. York was paroled May 6,
1865, at Washington, Ca, when
he returned to Vidalia, to find his
home occupied by Federal SOL
diers. When these freebooters
left it a year later, they stole
everything from the place, in
Guiding law and miscellaneous
libraries that cost $4,000.
The death of General York re-
moves from this life a central
figure in Louisiana's imperishable
history, teeming with valor anc
deeds of noble daring. Each day
some death reminds us Of an in.
cident of the "days that triee
