One fellow from the backwoods of Maine reached the regiment late in the afternoon. He soon revealed to a number of the boys that his only fear in becoming a soldier was that he would not be able to stand on "a picket post." He felt that it would require a great deal of practice to do this in a skillful manner, and since he had decided to enlist, he had not had a moment's time to practice it. Of course the boys REMINISCEKCES OF THE WAR. 137 had a great deal of sympathy for him, and kindly promis...ed to a,ssist him, for which he was very thank- ful. They informed him how difiicult a thing it was for them when they first began. They accompanied him to the lower end of the street, where a post some four feet in height and six inches in diameter was set upright in the ground, the upper end being sharpened nearly to a point. With a little assistance the recruit succeeded in reaching its sharpenedj top, and in the evening twilight,^ for nearly two long hours he managed to maintain his position, and received the compliments of his comrades.
