CHAPTER IX

Williams "with his left hand." Ramsey, on the other side, represents Col.

Williams as being shot while dashing forward to kill Ferguson.

Williams certainly was not killed by Ferguson himself; and in all probability the latter was slain earlier in the action and in an entirely different part of the line.

There is no ground whatever for the statement that Ferguson was trying to escape when shot; nor was there any attempt at a charge of horsemen, made in due form.
