C Sergeant T. R. \\ilson who wa wounded in the back of the neck a the battle of Chickamauga. Th bullet hadI lodged somewhere in th neck and he had suffered with sor throat and an obstruction in th swallow. ()ne day while he wa: gargling his throat with vinegar he strangled and in the fit o coughing that followed. he cough ed up the bullet that had been lodg ed in the throat more than siy months. Fire broke out from camp oni, very windy day, the wind driving the fire right down on Gordonville. The whole corps was ordered oul to fight the fire , and from teii o'clock a. iml.. until sundown we fought fire to save the town. Late in the evening the wind subsided, and we succeeded in checking the fire and saving the town. Let me go back a little about the first of April,. I will not say that we boarded the train, but we were put in freight boxes like sardines in a box, heads and tails. no seats to sit on, we Would put ouTr knapsacks agairst the wvalls, and sit on them until we got tired, then put our heads on the knapsacks and 'stretch ourselves - across the car and the mAn on the opposite side would do the same way. I remember it was a very cold day and snowed a little. and we had no fire and nowhere to make any. so when the train stopped, some of the boys jumped out and threw dirt in and we piled it along the middle \of the box, then we got -some fence rails and built a fire the whole length of the box,shoved the doors shut, took our muskets and punched the top out, so that the smoke could get out. We had .to stick close to the floor so that the smoke would not get in our nose and eyes. While we were on this trip some of the soldiers would get on the top of the ca1rs, and as we passed the little stations and houses on the road, the ladies would wave their handkerchiefs and cheer us. One of our company. A. P.
