Co. Aytch

CHAPTER V
7/42

He was very bloody, and had his clothes riddled with balls.

I heard that he rode on in front of the advance guard of our army, and had no doubt discovered the Yankee picket, and came galloping back at full speed in the dark, when our advance guard fired on and killed him.
We laid down in a graveyard that night and slept, and when we awoke the sun was high in the heavens, shining in our faces.

Mumfordsville had surrendered.

The next day Dr.C.T.Quintard let me ride his horse nearly all day, while he walked with the webfeet.
THE BATTLE OF PERRYVILLE In giving a description of this most memorable battle, I do not pretend to give you figures, and describe how this general looked and how that one spoke, and the other one charged with drawn sabre, etc.

I know nothing of these things--see the history for that.
