I thought it had been torn from my shoulder.

The brigade had fallen back about two hundred yards, when General Cheatham's presence reassured them, and they soon were in line and ready to follow so brave and gallant a leader, and had that order of "cease firing, you are firing on your own men," not been given, Maney's brigade would have had the honor of capturing eighteen pieces of artillery, and ten thousand prisoners.

This I do know to be a fact.
As I went back to the field hospital, I overtook another man walking along.

I do not know to what regiment he belonged, but I remember of first noticing that his left arm was entirely gone.

His face was as white as a sheet.
