Frail fragments of Civil War zeal and tragedy amid chaos
A garbled wartime column recounts heroic deeds and brutal losses. It notes an Iowa lieutenant killed by a wheel crushing him after aiding his fallen captain, a private Indiana soldier valiantly fighting on, and Indian fighters shown in brutal clashes. The piece also covers Arkansas troops clashing with tribes, a Missouri knife duel, and a Nashville flag legacy tale with a Massachusetts native presenting Old Glory to the first regiment landing in the city.
