A fragment from 1884 recalls a Civil War oath and vigil on the anniversary of a battle. Poems describe raising hands to Hearon, lists of bayonets and swords, and comrades sworn to memory. Soldiers parade through Virginia and Maryland with casualties, a somber toast, and tribute to the thirty seven fallen.
A long, chaotic narrative describes soldiers, a farmer family, and a Thanksgiving night filled with memory and news. Zenas and John Siddons host Davie Carey in a snowbound farm kitchen as stories of Gettysburg, a will, and a new heir unfold, blending grief, resilience, and small-town warmth.
A weary traveler in a shadowed wood recalls a perilous campaign and fears for a comrade’s fate. A companion with a blue cap listens as dawns slip by, the two pondering desert odds, bullets, and the loneliness of life on the road.
A Detroit style clipping quotes the Ashland Union criticizing Biavttatis journalism and printing controversial passages from the Union. It alleges soldiers wounded in battle, forthright partisan slander about Grant and Vallandigham, and calls the Union’s view of soldiers aid societies as hostile.
A damaged dispatch describes a battle near Spottsylvania on the 12th ultimo with a tree in rear works split by cannon fire, injuring men, and notes eyewitness Br. Chis. Mac Gill. It mixes other European medical and social bits, including a report on a Ohio Female College exercise scene and unrelated local curiosities.
