of Lying Wounded Two Weeks
on Battle Field.

Hairbreadth escapes are related by
veterans of the Civil war and won
dered at by a younger generation, but
the tales of fortune in the thick of
battle are sometimes not the most
wonderful of the war. Those that
come nearest to being incredible and
leave the listener confounded by the
thought that only through miracle
has the narrator been saved to the
world are those of long continued suf-
fering in prison or in hospital. One
julius Heidenreich. who lives at 11112
Fairfield avenue, South Chicago, Ill.
Mr.. Heidenreich, who for twenty
five years has been a member of U.
s. Grant post Of the G. A. R. and color
bearer, was in Company X Of the Fif-
ty-ninth Illinois infantry regiment,
which with the Thirty-seventh Illinois
and Eighth, Eighteenth and Twenty
second Indiana regiments and the
Peoria battery made up the division
of the Union army commanded by
Maj. Gen. (then coloneD Jefferson G.
Davis. The story is of the three days
fighting at Pea Ridge, Ark, one of the
half-dozen big battles of the west.
MY regiment, the Fifty-ninth ILL
nois, was sent west after it was
formed late in the summer of 1861"
said Mr.. Heidenreich. "By the begin
ming of March, 1862, we had gone on
foot about 700 miles from Jefferson
City, Mo-, and were headed into Ar
kansas at the rate of twenty miles a
day, hot in pursuit of General Prices
Confederate army. We were 200 miles
from our base of supplies. We were
shoeless and in rags and we lived on
corn issued in the ear by the commits
sary.
I'VE caught up with General Price
md had three days fighting with him.
! This was the battle of Pea Ridge. The
afternoon and night of March 6 l
helped build defensive breastworks.
