dramatic figure than that of Amos
Rucker, whose bright, black face,
with it's friendly smile, was known
and loved of all men in the
city where he lived and died.
Amos belonged" to the Rucker
family of Ebert County, and when
his young marster", Sandy Rucker,
went to the war, Amos went with
him. In the wonderful record of the
fidelity of the negroes of the South
to the homes and families of their
masters during war times, most
striking example was furnished by
the "likely young colored boys" who
followed their young masters to the
army as "body-servants" A story is
told of a report made by subordi-
nate officer to General Grant of rein
forcements to General Lees army of
$50 privates from the University of
Virginia with 80 body-servants"

town holds among the pathetic an
nails Of these fearful days, stories of
painful and difficult journeys through
hostile lines when the bodies of
young heroes were brought back to
weeping mothers by these same col
ored boys, who thus proved them
selves faithful unto DEATH.
Notable among this class of body
servants was Amos Rucker, whose
young master early enlisted in the
Thirty-third Georgia Regiment, a
part of the Division of General Pat
rick r. Cleburne. This Division
caught some of the heaviest fighting
of the war, and Amos not only &C
companied his master into every en-
gagement, but, standing side by side
with him, he fought like an enlisted
soldier. When in the trenches or in
a charge, gun or saber would fall
from the hands near to him, Amos
was ever quick to snatch it up and
push forward to close up the ranks
His enthusiasm for the cause of
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-09-23
THE VETERANS CORNER

the Confederacy was sincere and per-
sonal. It was his masters cause and
therefore his, but, once enlisted in it,
the fire and fervor of the fray be-
came his own, and when he died
there ceased to beat heart as loyal
to the Lost Cause as any that took
flight under Lee at Gettysburg, or
Jackson at Bull Run.
This enthusiasm it was which
made for Rucker his picturesque and
unique position as the acquaintance
and personal friend of nearly every
white person in Atlanta. After the
war, when, in too many instances, the
hands of white and black were turn
ed against each other, Rucker knew
nothing of the storm. To him the
solving of the negro problem was ex-
quisitely simple. The white folks
were his folks: they would take care
of him, and they did. When many
years ago, his health grew feeble
and he was unable to work, Amos
knew no care. In his uniform of
Confederate gray, which he wore to
the day of his death, he went cheer
fully about the streets of Atlanta,
beaming upon old and young alike,
and as secure of all that was needful
as are the lilies of the field.
Rucker was one of the few ne
groes who held membership in
camp Of Confederate Veterans.
He regularly belonged to Camp w.
H. T. Walker, u. c. ", and never
failed to attend a reunion, no matter
how far it might be from Atlanta.
On these occasions, the little old
darkey with the white head and the
gray clothes, attracted any amount
of attention, and was often the cen
ter of an interested group while he
performed a remarkable feat of mem
DRY in calling verbatim the roll of
his masters old regiment From A
to q, from color-sergeant to the last
private, in the voice of the orderly
sergeant, Rucker would run through
the roll, answering each name, some
times here, often, very often,
dead or ''wounded'. He loved to
be called upon to give his roll-call,
and it was a great occasion with him,
when, at meeting of the camps, a
request would be made for it, as was
often done. Some verses written
several years ago by a veteran COM
rade affords an idea of how Rucker
and his roll-call were regarded by the
camps:
