. The photographic history of the Civil War : in ten volumes . tf\^ Bnbz of Baler * # *. And when their statues are placed on highUnder the dome of the Union sky,The American soldiers Temple of Fame,There, with the glorious generals name,Be it said, in letters both bold and bright: Here is the steed that saved the dayBy carrying Sheridan into the fight, From Winchester—twenty miles away! Thomas Buchanan Read. THE GENERALS DEATH The general dashed along the road Amid the pelting rain;How joyously his bold face glowed To hear our cheers refrain! His blue blouse napped in wind and wet,His boots were splashed with mire, But round his lips a smile was set,And in his eyes a fire. A laughing word, a gesture kind,— We did not ask for more,With thirty weary miles behind, A weary fight before. The gun grew light to every man,The crossed belts ceased their stress, As onward to the columns vanWe watched our leader press. Within an hour we saw him lie, A bullet in his brain,His manly face turned to the sky, And beaten by the rain. Joseph OConnor.
