ALEXANDER'S ran thru my mind was, what will I tell his mother? Could I tell her, that I had left him to be captured, and ran away to save myself? No! no! a thousand times no! I would go to him and we would share our fate together which I did. I dismounted and so did he, and we sadly led our horses over the field to the pike. We two alone of all the battery; not another living Union soldier in sight, a few dead ones, and a dead horse was all I could see. I felt miserable to think, that we two, o...f all that mass of men, that crowded the pike but a short time before, should be taken prisoner. We knew the front was blocked, and that the enemy would soon be coming from Winchester in our rear, one of our comrades came back from the woods to the right, and reported that the Confederates were just swarming thru them, and there was now no hope of getting out that way. My! we were pleased to see him, there was at least one other besides we two who was captured. I saw a barn to the rear with a yellow flag displayed over it; that was the safest place for us, as it was a hospital flag, that would be respected by the enemy, thither we went, and oh joy!
