E. NJ. Stakebake, Peoria, Ohio, writes
to correct a statement in The National
Tribune of May %. regarding relic in
the possession of Comrade o. ID. Evans,
Of Richmond, Ind. 1t was stated that
Color Serg't Almon tore the flag of the
Goth Ind. from its staff when captured at
Richmond, Ky. Comrade Stakebake says:
"Almon was never captured at Richmond,
Ky. l was with him every hour If the
day Of the battle at that place. After the
third stand, which was made as we were
moving out of Richmond toward Lexing-
ton, we were attacked by a large force
of rebel cavalry. Color Serg't Almon, Tom
Segrove, Dick Curry, Dave Hobbick and
i
we ran across a cornfield and toward the
woods, which we reached in safety. We
kept on for several miles, until | felt that
l could go no farther. We all lay down
in thicket, intending to rest only two or
three hours, but it was sunrise before we
awoke. We started on, keeping well I'M
der cover Of the underground, and the
next night sought shelter at a house,
where we secured something to eat and
were permitted to sleep on the floor in the
hall. l and others of the party had re-
tanned our guns. We were not disturbed
that night, and the next morning resumed
our journey toward Lexington, reaching
that place about o'clock in the after
noon. There we found many other men,
bers of the Goth. Two hours after we
reached Lexington the army began its re-
treat to Louisville, Ky. Although Com
rade Almon was not captured he did take
the flag from the staff and carried 1t I'M
der his clothes until we We're safe within
the Union lines"
