Captain Beagle’s Civil War Remnants and Narrow Escapes
Captain Beagle’s wartime memories endure through mementos and tales. Surviving members from nearby communities recall him as commander of a veteran company. A carved wooden gourd from a cracker box and a Confederate sword trophy symbolize loyalties and battles. Beagle survived multiple close calls during fights at Richmond and other sites, though a bullet once grazed his colonel’s hat. He and his unit faced peril while studying plans under fire, with several men killed or wounded. The narrative ties to his Pennsylvania and Virginia roots and connects to family history in Marshall and Taylor counties.
