The citizen, who, without reward or the hope thereof, moved only by impulse of patriotism and love of country, shouldered his musket, haversack, cartridge box and threw his blanket across his shoulder and bade farewell to home, mother, wife and children. And took his place in the Private ranks and lived much on less than half rations, marching often all night long through cold, rain and wind and then lie down to sleep on the bare ground with many other hardships to say nothing of facing the cruel showers of lead hail he had often to meet.

CAPTAIN W.P. HOWELL
25th Alabama, Company I
