general for Johnston considered himself
the greatest military genius America had
produced this regardless of the fact that
he was one of the most unsuccessful Of
the south's captains in war.
To Hood the winter of "a was the most
sorrowful of his life. His army crushed
and ragged. he held responsible by many
for it's defeats. the cause of the south
hopeless, surrender was inevitable.
April, 90. brought Appomattox. In
June Hood surrendered, and wrote the
letter to the woman he loved. and she
refused to release him. Then there OPEN
ed new life to the sadly crippled sol
dier. When the lovers married they
made their home In New Orleans. Their
union was blessed with many children.
For a time Hood prospered. He showed
an. excellent capacity for business, and
as ar officer of an insurance company
he managed its affairs in fine style He
might have accumulated a modest for
that one branch of industry, but to pro-
vide for the big family he had dependent
upon him he invested all his savings in
a new enterprise, and the whole amount
was lost. In 1879 yellow fever appeared
in New Orleans. His wife and eldest
child were stricken and died within
few hours of each other. Then Hood
was stricken, and on August 80, 1879, he
died

that the spirit Of the south was broken
and that the men fought out of pure dog
gedness. and not with confidence OF vic
tory. Sherman had little respect for
Hoods ability, considering him less able,
in fact, than Joe Johnston. and not a
few southern soldiers think Sherman was
right. Hood, like many another brave
soldier. probably was more capable OF
carrying out the brilliant plans of an
other commander than of conceiving bril-
liant plans on his own account and then
attending to their execution. Sherman
drove Hood before him steadily and
surely from point to point. until Hood
made his final stand at Atlanta.
When that city fell Hood made one de-
around Shermans forces and tried to
cut the Union general off from his com
munications, expecting to compel Sher-
man to turn back. But the backbone Of
the Confederacy was broken and minor
defeats and minor victories cut no fig
ure in the inevitable result Hood came
in for bitter criticism for the manner In
which he conducted the campaign against
Sherman. Losers generally are blamed.
Johnston was one of the most savage OF
his critics, and the two had some sharp
correspondence as a result of Johnston's

In 1890 he was transferred to Fort Bel
knap. Texas, to serve under Gen. Albert
Sidney Johnston. 1t was in Texas that he
had his baptism Of fire. In 1857 there
was an Indian outbreak. and Hood, with
twenty men, was sent in pursuit of
band of 100 braves whose raids on the
settlements in the southwestern part of
the state had caused much alarm. For
three weeks Hood followed the Indians,

a fight that for years was the marvel Of
the frontier. 1t was in the Frio country,
near Devils river, that the forces met.
Few of Hoods little command escaped
unscathed, but the Indians were routed
utterly.
Hood resigned went to Kentucky and
offered his services for the defense of the
state But as Kentucky hesitated about
joining the secession movement, Hood
proceeded to Montgomery. Ala, and there
was commissioned a lieutenant in the
Confederate army and ordered to Rich
mond to report to Lee.
Promotion came rapidly. In a few
months he was a ma jor, next lieutenant

and then he was sent to the vest. 1t was
the belief of Hood, and his belief was
shared by many other soldiers that II he
had been permitted to advance on the
position he suggested, Meade's army
would have been crushed But the per-
mission was not given and before the
battle closed Hood had other things to
think about. He was suffering from a
wound in the leg before the engagement
and had to be lifted onto his horse. In
the thick of the fight on the second day
his horse was killed under him. He was
assisted to mount another and a little
later was shot from the saddle.

success for Hood. His gallantry and dar-
ing thrilled the south. So far he had

John Hood?" some one asked.
The response was immediate. No ono
doubted that tho children of such noble
father and such "A noble mother were
worthy of the best tribute the south could
pay.
From one end OF the southland to the
other came offers to adopt one, two,
three or more of the children. Rich
families and families In moderate cir
cumstances We'd with each other in their
efforts to befriend the orphans. And the
poor. Who ever knew the time when the
poor were not touched by the needs OF
the innocent and helpless?
With hundreds of eager claimants for
the children, ii was hard indeed to de-
eide. When the problem seemed to be
most difficult a soldier who had fought
by the side of Hood came forward and
declared that the question was not one
for families, but for the south TO decide:
that the children of Hood belonged to
the south and that they should become
wards of the Confederate states.
The south is swayed by the heart Tho
idea appealed to it worthy of Hood.
1t was acted on at once.
Virginia demanded the right to become
the guardian of one of the orphans.
Texas demanded the privilege of being
made the guardian Of another. Georgia
demanded another. And so on down the
line
And so, as in days of old the children
of great knights became the wards of the
king. the children of John Hood 4
nineteenth century knight, became wards
of the southern states.

John Hood" she wrote, 'if there was
only enough of your body left to hold
your noble soul would hold you to your
promise. In place of the limb that you
have lost you have me as crutch. For
the arm that is shattered you have my
two arms. If your eyes fail, whose eyes
should see for you but mine?''
And so these two were married to live
life that was to have as its climax one
of the most remarkable incidents in
American history
To the south Hood always has seemed
a knightly character. AS a boy and as
man, in the camp and in the home. he
was the same lofty spirit He had all the
chivalry and sense of honor of the high
est type of the southerner. To do worth
that was a duty was his cardinal prin-
ciple In life. He personitied the highest
ideals of the southern soldier. To bear
on high the colors and charge at the
head of his column as he did at Chicka
mauga appealed to him. as one of the
most glorious privileges of war From
the day he was commissioned a lieuten-
ant until the day he surrendered he car
ried on his sword the bit of silk he got
from the woman he loved just as the
knights of a former day wore notices
of their loves in that age of chivalry and
romance.
He was born in Kentucky in 1881 and
was appointed a cadet in West Point in
1S49. He was graduated in the class Of
1858. along with Sheridan, Mcpherson,
Scofield and host of other gallant men
who were to play prominent roles in the
great tragedy of the civil war. His first
service was in San Francisco. then the
center about which was gathered the
greatest band of fortune seekers the
world perhaps has ever known. The re-
gion was mad with the fever of gold and
one of the best pictures of the golden
