Our Brigade had beencut off from the others and they were fighting near Sheppards-town. I and some more wounded took the road for HarpersFerry, also some that were dismounted and some that werenot who went along with us. I think about 200 in all. Wegot to Harpers Ferry about 11 oclock that night. I rodemy horse all the way except about one mile, when I rode in anambulance. When the ball struck my leg it was numb and did not painme for about an hour; after that it pained me fearfully. Itdoes not hurt to be shot, but the after-collapse is the leg was amputated about midnight, August 25th. I remained at Harpers Ferry until the last of September;was then moved to Pleasant Valley, from there to Fredericks-burg, Md., and from there to Detroit, where I was dischargedon the 14th day of August, 1805. My leg is in such a condition that I cannot wear an artificialleg, so have to use a peg leg, and will have to peg it all the daysof my life. 296. 1863. Frankijn Robinson, Co. M. Dead.
