. Personal and historical sketches and facial history of and by members of the Seventh regiment Michigan volunteer cavalry, 1862-1865 . omrade took the contents of my pock-ets and my sabre, gave them to Sergeant Major Carver to sendhome to my parents, and bidding his comrades good bye, letthe command go on, while he remained with the unconsciousbody of his friend—to meet certain capture and probabledeath. Greater love than this no man hath, that he lay downhis life for his friend. I deem myself derelict in my duty, that I have not soonergiven this testimony to the heroism of your brave and modestcomrade, Captain W. H. Fisher. It is your good fortune andmine that Comrade Captain Fisher is still with us, for, Kil-patrick finding the Pamunkey impassable, countermarched hiscolumns and passing near Captain Fisher gave up his am-bulance, in which I was carried to Yorktown and there placedin hospital by Surgeon Richards and Captain Fisher, to whomI owe the privilege of being able at this late day to tell thestory of a great Raid and recount the perils and the heroismof the men and officers of the 7th, incident thereto. 201.
