At THE "BL00DY ANGLE"

Recalled by Civil War Survivors a. a
Very Hot Place.
One Of the most desperate fights of
the civil war was that which took
place at the Bloody Angle" on May
II, 1884 It Is still remembered by the
survivors az probably the hottest place
they ever were In. General L A.
Grant, commander of the Vermont
brigade, described the fight at the
dead line as follows:
1T was not only desperate struggle,
but it was literally a hand to hand
fight Nothing but the piled up logs or
breastworks separated the combatants.
Our men would reach over the logs and
fire into the faces of the enemy, who
would stab over with their bayonets
Many were shot and stabbed through
the crevices and holes between the
logs. Men mounted the works and
with muskets rapidly handed them
kept up continuous fire until they
were shot down, when others would
take their places and continue the
deadly work.
Several times during the day the
Confederates would show q white Gag
about the works and when our fire
slackened jump over and surrender,
and others were crowded down to ill
their places. 1t was there that the
somewhat celebrated tree was cut of
by bullets-there that the brush and
logs were cut to pieces and whipped
into basket stuff."
General MCGOWAN, who was on the
other side of the trenches leading the
South Carolina brigade, stated in his
report:
"Our men lay on one side Of the
breastwork, the enemy on the other.
and In many instances men were
pulled over. The trenches on the right
had to be cleared Of the dead more
than once. An oak tree twenty-five
inches in diameter in rear of the bri-
gade was cut down by musket balls.
and It fell about II o'clock Thursday
night, the 18th, injuring several men
In the First South Carolina regiment"

IN THE WAR AND AFTER.

Battle Incident Which Led Later to
Restoration Of q Sword.
General Keifer, later In congress
from the Springfield lO.) district, was
one Of the last men wounded In the
civil war. He entered the volunteer
army In April. 1861, and served until
after Lees surrender in 1885. In all
that time he received three scratches,
but shortly after the surrender he was
scouting at the head Of small force
Of cavalry and came suddenly upon
large force Of Confederate cavalry.
There was skirmish. In which Keifer
was wounded and In which he would
have been killed had it not been for
the Intervention Of the Confederate
commander, who, under the circum-
stances, simply wanted to be let alone.
Keifer returned to camp, had his
wound dressed. reported to headquar-
tiers and received special orders and
with re-enforcements started to find
the derelict Confederates. He found
them, and Colonel Tucker, the Confed-
crate commander. surrendered. Keifer
carried fuckers sword home with him.
and 1t was kept In his library at Spring
field as a trophy Of the war.
In 1915 Keifer was elected to con
gress and in 1881 was elected speaker
Among his acquaintances In 1879 was
John Randolph Tucker of Virginia. In
conversation one day Keffer told Tuck
er the story Of the sword. and Tucker
said the officer who surrendered the
day Of the skirmish was undoubtedly
his brother. This fact being establish
ed, Keifer took the sword to Washing
ton and placed It in the hands Of j.
Randolph Tucker, who restored II to
its original owner. In after years Gen.
eral Keifer became again a memter Of
congress and found the son Of J. Ran
