ePub Nineteenth Century Russia: Opposition to Autocracy by Derek Offord in History

Description

I shall never; no never; forget that eventful night when accompanied by one courier; my Adjutant Edwards and Sergeant Major; both being wounded; I full of grief and bitterness; rode to the barns in our rear and saw with tears in my eyes; my brave fellows from away over the mountains in West Virginia; laid out in windrows; torn and bleeding. I shall never forget that night or the next morning's parade when I could muster but 96 enlisted men. Brave fellows; not a slave holder among them.Lt/Col. Vincent A.
