It was pretty well out of danger from the bullets and shell of the enemy.

They stopped, and we recognized Major Strong, of McPherson's Staff, whom the all knew, as he was the Chief Inspector of our Corps, and in the ambulance he had the body of General McPherson.

Major Strong, it appears, during a slight lull in the fighting at that part of the line, having taken an ambulance and driven into the very jaws of death to recover the remains of his loved commander.

It seems he found the body right by the side of the little road that we had gone out on when we went to the rear.

He was dead when he found him, having been shot off his horse, the bullet striking him in the back, just below his heart, probably killing him instantly.
