16/42 Now, if you wish, kind reader, to find out how many were killed and wounded, I refer you to the histories. We were charging through an old citizen's yard, when a big yellow cur dog ran out and commenced snapping at the soldiers' legs-- they kicking at him to keep him off. The next morning he was lying near the same place, but he was a dead dog. We worked the whole night. I did so, and was soon asleep; when I awoke the poor fellow was stiff and cold in death. |
