I f pent three of the happiest dtt>
of my life at Hie reunion at Gettys
burg. I was the guest of the "Jlst In
diana Regiment and they entertained
me in royal style. An incident of the .
light !*>0 years ago came Into my mind j
as I stood in front of the Round Top.
Nille of US Confederates Were sent
out on a scout, and we met eleven
mounted men of the Fnlon army. We
Went right at one another, ami soon |
I was the only one left on our side, and
two calvary men on the Fnlon side.;
One of them made at me. and was
snapping his pistol right at my head,
when I charged him with the bayonet.
As 1 made n thrust his horse reared
up ami the bayonet went t ight through
his heart, over went horse and rider.
With the man pinned under the dead
horse. Two of our Confederates, pass
ing u ar, heard the row. and rushed
in and captured the other man, and
helped nie roll the horse off my man.
They wanted to take the watch and
pocket hook of my prisoner, inn I
told them they could not rob my
man when ho had surrendered. I
carried my prisoner to hoadquartei
where I was told to take him to li
certain ofliec r, who was parolling the
prisoners. We could not bo locum
he red with a lot of captured men. he
ilig in the enemy's country and We
needed overy man in the ranks to light
our way out.
A woman was relating the capture
of her husband to a crowd, who stood
around her on Round Top. Standing
below her, I was an attentive V'stoner]
to her story. When she n.n.shed 1
asked her permission to complete hot
tale. I am the man that captured your I
husband and parolled him in the Get
tysburg fight. His son rushed down
ami threw hi- arms around mo and
hugged mo. His wife and about n
thousand Yankee women ran down the
hill, and laid hold of me. shook hands '
and patted me nearly to death. 1
sure did have a big time! -t'nelo .lohn.;
