Image Title:
A Brave Artilleryman
Note:
“. . . a colored Artillerist who, while having charge of a cannon with a white fellow soldier, was wounded in one arm. He immediately turned to his comrade, and proposed changing his position, exclaiming that he had yet one arm left with which he could render some service to his country. The change proved fatal to the heroic soldier, for another shot from the enemy killed him upon the spot. “ [Nell and Stowe pgs 23-24 - Read More]
