CHAPTER ME
IN RETROSPECTIVE LOOK
Me really I can say that my whole life has passed with bovine livestock.
Also during mine the four year-old service in the Confederate army, the
the greatest portion was spent with the department of commissioner, reigning of
his/her steer provisions. I was wounded soon in the second year of the war
and I invalidate as a soldier, but rather than to remain to house that I have accepted
a servile position under a quartermaster. That were brave times.
During the invasion of Protection of Pennsylvania we followed following the
manages with more than thousand bovine livestock, and after Gettysburg we conducted the
withdraw with double that the number. The closing of near the war us
it didn't frequently have any bovine livestock to hold, and I became few more than a
field-follower.
I was born in the Valley of Shenandoah, northern Virginia, May 3, 1840.
My father was an economical planter and herdsman, you/he/she possessed some enslaved ones, and
as I lend how I can remember bovine livestock fed every winter for the Oriental
markets. Grandfather Anthony that died before I was born, it was a
Scotchman that you/he/she had emigrated to the Old Dominion to a first day,
