Noted Courier Tells Heroic Ride From Vicksburg
The Mobile Register prints a detailed letter describing a rider called the father of harmor Pontsine. He set out May 24 to carry a verbal dispatch to General Johnston and percussion caps to troops in the besieged area. Battling harsh terrain, he crossed rivers, avoided gunboats, and survived a battle with a minute ball wound. He reached Vicksburg, delivered dispatches to General Pemberton, then returned via Yazoo and the Mississippi, enduring hunger, vigilantly dodging pursuers, and eventually returning with critical orders for Johnston.
