took place near Richmond, we were
encamped npou the field, when In
fine daylight on the morning ol
June 29 we were awakened with in
structions to cook what rations u
had. One ot the members ot our
mess. (Joe Brogdon,) who w;ts one
of the best cooks in the army, aT
once went to work making and
baking biscuits. After cumpletirg
his task and the biscuits were ali
evenly divided between us. Joe
again b'gan to divide his share with
us. When asked what he meant he
said that he would not need them as
he telt confident that as sure as he
went into battle that day so sim-
would he be killed. I had my dis-'
charge in my pocket at the tirm.

succumbed and a great manv were
left along the road. After emerg

had not gone but a little way when
we received a most murderous tlrt,
and poor Brogdon was killed out
