The signal was to be three guns

Three of these nine happenings,

northern states and the southern; 1t
was on May so, 1850, that there was
born boy soon to be christened Fred

Twelve years later than this (1862),
it was ON May 80, that; the confederate
forces evacuated Corinth, down near
the Tennessee line in Mississippi,
while\ the Sine date in 1854 had seen

among the past events recalled by
