at the head of which, seated on "Black Bess" the real (not the mythical "Black Bess" that some of you fellows some- times talk so loudly about and never saw), but the real Black Bess — was that grandest specimen of a Kentucky soldier, save one — the immortal Breckinridge — Captain John H. Morgan. The Kentucky Brigade was proud to find itself in such noble, such royal company, though for a passing moment only. Oh, how it thrilled our hearts as these Kentucky boys, Morgan's men, greeted us by wav...ing their hats, cheering and singing their famous battle song; "Cheer, boys, cheer; we'll march away to battle; Cheer, boys, cheer, for our sweethearts and our wives ; Cheer, boys, cheer; we'll nobly do our duty. And give to Kentucky our arms, our hearts, our lives. " General Duke, you remember this incident. Do you not, sir? More than happy am I with such a noble wit- ness to attest the correctness of this part of my story. It was the second line of this famous stanza that touched my soul most and sunk deepest into my youthful heart, for I had left back in old Nicholas a little, black-eyed, curly- haired maiden whose image at that very moment seemed fairer than all the angels in heaven.
