Wounded Confederate Lone Survivor Scene at Cold Harbor
A 1564 Washington Post account describes a Union Cavalry action at Cold Harbor Virginia. A Confederate soldier lay wounded in a ditch while an officer bound his leg with a handkerchief and shared water before departing to the breastwork. The rebel fighter’s fate remains unknown as the battle raged and daylight failed. A Philadelphia contact seeks any recollection of the incident from Southern survivors.
