FELL ASLEEP ON MARCH

""We were taken to Balitmore and from there to Fort Henry. Pickett's
Division had been in forced march without sleep for so long before the
charge that we were completely exhausted but we did not realize this in
the wild excitement of the fight but after it was over we were so near
dead from fatigue we dropped asleep on the march to Balitmore and had to
be prodded by the Union men every little while.""
""When near Fort Henry at 3 o'clock in the morning we were permitted
to pause. I sank into a hole all but dead for sleep and awoke with water
all around me, my face just out for my head was on a slightly raised
place. The hole where I had fallen asleep had filled with water from a
three hour rain that had beaten and flown in my face without waking me.
From that point we went on to the fort and that was the end of the war for
us.""
