BIVOUAC OF THE DEAD
By Daniel p. Bald70fn.

Logansport does not claim greater rec
ord for patriotism than her sister cities. nor
are the three names given below superior
20 fifty other young men who went from
her hresides and gave their lives TO their
country in the great civil war of 1S61-5.
They were:
Captain Nathan Palmer Dunn. a gradu-
ate of Miami University; Captain Charles
Elisha Tucker, a graduate of Knox Col
lege, Lieutenant James Pepper Pratt, a
graduate of Yale College.
Each was killed in battle at the early
age of twenty-three years. The first at
Chickamauga; the second at Port Hudson,
on the Mississippi. and the third at Han
Overtown, Va. Lieutenant Pratt fell just
forty years ago to-day. and as tomorrow
is sacred to our dead soldiers, notice of
his life as published in our local papers.
May 30. 1864. will wildly recall to mind
what splendid young men had in those
great days, and what they did for their
country. To the present generation of
middle-aged men and women who are bear
ing the heat and burden of life and. in fact.

awful war which marked with blood
the door posts of so many homes, is only
knORn by hearsay. 1t is good for those

periences to pause and give of the
most beautiful days of the year TO the
memories OF our soldier dead, and to visit
reverently and gratefully in spirit, the

ground, Wnere glory guards the blVOuac or

remains Of Lieutenant Pratt were sent
home for burial Among his effects was
