WEE INCIDENT OF CIVIL WAR
Young Soldier crawIs Along Burned
Bridge at Night and Compels
Enemy to Retreat.

The bravest and coolest act that
came under my observation during
five years military service at the
time of the Civil war, was that of
Isaac B. Hardy, soldier nineteen
years of age, who has been for many
years resident of Santa Barbara.
March 8, 1865, Gen. Sherman, on his
march through the Carolinas, arrived
before Cheraw, on the great Pedee
river. Here the Seventeenth corps,
with my regiment, the Sixty-fourth H.
llinois, known as the Yates Sharp
shooters, in the lead as skirmishers,
held the center, writes Brig. Gen. j. S.
Reynolds in Los Angeles Times.
l was ordered to Immediately ad-
vance the skirmishers at double
quick through the town to the west
end of the only bridge there over the
river, and, if possible, prevent the
enemy from destroying it. We reached
the bridge after the exchange of many
shots with fleeing squads of the en-
emys cavalry, who had been guard
ing the roads leading into tue town
but already the farther end of the
