INCIDENT OF ANTIETAM.–

Posted By admin On 21. December 2008 @ 16:24 In Recent Entries | No Comments

In a small clump of woods near the battle field, the body of a dead Union soldier in a partially upright position, was found resting against a tree.

The expression of the man’s countenance was perfectly natural–in fact he appeared as if he was only asleep. Alongside of him was an old and worn Bible, which the poor fellow, knowing his time had come, was reading, and in this way, a soldier and Christian he died; and now, with thousands of others, his grave is unknown.
