Seven Soldiers Die While Singing On Hill
In a fortress tale from 1907, Colonel Pelham orders seven woodcutters and their sergeant Lyons into a doomed backtrack to confront a 200 strong Indian war party. Lyons leads with grit, the men sing their last, and one by one fall as 300 Indians fire on them, the garrison grimly watching as the lone sergeant keeps firing until the last, with the flag of the United States still waving over the doomed outpost.
