The Rifle Devotion of a Young Hunter in Early Days
In a nostalgic reminiscence, the narrator recalls youth spent following expert shooters, mastering rifle use with a Kentucky rifle and single ball. He recalls squirrel headshots, fall hunts, and the shift from wing shooting to still hunting as skill grows, ending with a note that Gen. Avaur will command a division in Gen. Burnside's old corps.
