Heroic boy wounds in Grant army charge and martyr spirit
A correspondent recalls a young soldier wounded in a Grant era charge. In hospital in Washington a maggot‑filled wound in the foot and a leg wound were treated with turpentine. He endures pain calmly, declaring willingness to suffer for country and liberty. Night and soft voices praised, while a court decision limits pay stoppage in enlistment cases.
