第 449 頁 - Southern people, seemed about to utter his last sigh! Never -will the recollection of that scene be obliterated. Again my pulses throb, and my heart is oppressed with its bitter load of anguish, as I go back in memory to that night in the Wilderness. I could only mutter a few words, asking the General if his fall had hurt him— and, at these words, his eyes slowly opened. A faint smile came to the pale face, and in a low murmur he said : "No, my friend; do not trouble yourself about me!
第 133 頁 - There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer.
第 363 頁 - The noble, the chivalric, the gallant Pelham is no more. He was killed in action yesterday. His remains will be sent to you today. How much he was beloved, appreciated and admired, let the tears of agony we have shed, and the gloom of mourning throughout my command, bear witness. His loss is irreparable.
第 363 頁 - THE GALLANT PELHAM,' his many virtues, his noble nature and purity of character, is enshrined as a sacred legacy in the hearts of all who knew him. His record has been bright and spotless; his career brilliant and successful. He fell — the noblest of sacrifices — on the altar of his country, to whose glorious service he had dedicated his life from the beginning of the war.
第 446 頁 - Is that one of the couriers? If so, ride up there, and see what troops those are that fired upon us." At the order, the dark figure moved ; went slowly in the direction which I indicated ; and never again appeared. Who was that silent horseman? I know not, nor ever expect to know.
第 448 頁 - But, all at once, he caught a sight of General Jackson's face. "Oh! General!" he exclaimed, "I am truly sorry to see you are wounded. The lines here are so much broken that I fear we will be obliged to fall back!" The words brought a fiery flush to the pale face of Jackson. Raising his drooping head, his eyes flashed, and he replied: "You must hold your ground, General Fender! You must hold your ground, sir!
第 444 頁 - ... soon AP Hill was heard steadily advancing to take his place in front, for the decisive attack on Chancellorsville, about a mile distant. Such was the condition of things, when General Jackson, accompanied by his staff and escort, rode in advance of his line down the road toward Chancellorsville, listening, at every step, for some indications of a movement in the Federal camps.
第 448 頁 - ... where a moment before had been seen the serried ranks of Hill, the eye could now discern only riderless horses, men writhing in the death agony, and others seeking the shelter of the woods. That sudden and furious fire did not spare the small party who were bearing off the great soldier. Two of the litter-bearers were shot, and dropped the handles to the ground. Of all present, none remained but myself and another; and we were forced to lower the litter to the earth, and lié beside it, to escape...
第 147 頁 - My plan is to put on as bold a front as possible, and to use every means in my power to prevent his advance, whilst our re-organization is going on.
第 334 頁 - the debris of his late camps, two disabled pieces of artillery, a few hundred of his stragglers, perhaps two thousand of his wounded, and as many more of his unburied dead. Not a sound field-piece, caisson, ambulance, or wagon ; not a tent, box of stores, or a pound of ammunition. He takes with him the supplies gathered in Maryland, and the rich spoils of Harper's Ferry.
