As my company pointed at me, the colonel looked at me and said, " Well do ya have an apple for me or what." And then everybody laughed at the site and then we felled back into rank again and march a couple more miles before stopping to set up camp. As I was unrolling my knapsack a friend of mine named Mills Valentine, a private, walked up to me and asked if I could join him with his other buds around a campfire and eats some good ol' pork and fried apples. I said to him that I would be delighted to do so.
While we were eating someone brought out a fiddle so we eat and sung around the fire until we were too tired to to sing no more! After a couple hits of coffee I went to bed. And before I knew it we heard screams coming from men (I don't know why) and someone yelled fire so we had to break out the buckets fast before our whole encampment was destroyed. As I was running I saw a union guerrilla trying to walk into the woods so I followed, after a while I saw a whole gang of them laughing at their evil act they've done. Remembering my way out, I went straight to the colonel's headquarters and asked to have permission of leading a group of men to capture the unionist. Being spared 20 men I lead them into the forest, I told them to spread out and be quiet as possible. and not to shoot until ready. When we got to the place, the unionist were asleep, so we had a better chance of killing them until one of my men fired at them.....
