He was wounded twice at the first battle ofBull Run, before he came into General Meades possession. Left on the field for dead at Antietam, he waslater discovered quietly grazing, with a deep wound in his neck. Again, at Gettysburg, a bullet lodgedbetween his ribs and rendered him unable to carry his owner again until after Appomattox. Baldy wasa bright bay horse, with white face and feet. This bullet-scarred veteran followed General Meades hearse tohis last resting-place in 1872, and survived him by a decade. The photograph was taken in October, 1803. \amMMMM£k ar-lfnrfirB of IGra&ers anil ©nmpers •$• #
