fOBTr years ago the year of bloody
battles opened with campaign
In Virginia and Georgia. Grant
bad recently been given tbe rank of
lieutenant general, witll command of
II tbe Federal force. lie personally j
conducted tbe Army of tbe Potomac
In the march against Richmond through
the region went of tbe Rappahannock
river known as the Wilderness. In the
month of Hay, 1804, over a hundred ac
tion! were fought all over tbe theater
of war, which resulted Jn lots of life.
May 0 was a day of battlea.
Tbe battle opened in the wilderness
on May 6 with one of the moat re
markable atruggle known to the an
nnli of war. Writing of tbe battle
ground, General Badean says, "One
tangled maai of stunted evergreen,
dwarf chestnut, oak and hazel, with
an undergrowth of low IvHllns'
shrubs, making tber forest almost im
penetrable." And of the bnttle, "a!
wrestle aa blind as at midnight; a
gloom that made maneuvers Imprac
ticable; Jungle where regiments
tumbled on each other and on the en
emy by turns, firing sometimes into
their own ranks and fculded often on
ly by the crackling of the bushes or
the cheers and cries that arose from
the depths around." The fighting of
May 5 In the Wilderness, and, In fact,
both days of the battle, was the

heaviest on the Federal left wing,
where the Second corps, led by Gen
eral Wlnflcld Bcott Hancock, fought
th Confederate right, led by Robert
E. Lee In person. General Hancock
attempted to transfer his marching
columns from the Catharplq road to
the Orange plank road, a couple of
miles distant and leading In the same ,
direction. While crossing over the
troops were attacked on the marcb j
by Confederates and compelled to 1
plunge Into the wilderness to find the !
enemy. The chief leader who fell 1
there was General Alexander Hays, j
commanding a brigade. This devoted 1
Ulcer had often ridden In open bat
tle, even on the bar slopes of Get
tysburg, with bis staff and Bag be-1
bind him, the admiration of two I
smiles. He fell at last In a tangled ;
wilderness where not even a single
regiment could note bis action and de
rive Inspiration from his courage and
martial enthusiasm.
- May 6 found Hancock still battling
along tbe plank road. He had carried
his right Sank to the road, but every
tep of the march was opposed by the
Confederates, and the Federals could i
only make headway by peuetrutlng the
thicket along the route. During the !
nlgbt tbe Confederates had built
breastworks of logs. The Federal right
twlng was struggling under the same !
difficulties In advancing along the 1 'r-1

of tbe plank road. This wing waa coin-1

General Sedgwick was warned of the
dungcr of going near the exposed but

warning tho general und the oillcor
who gave the warning walked out to
the battery to get u better alignment
for the troops. Booing the ine.i whom

tho battery, Sedgwick exel.iknod:
"What, men! Dodging this way to
slnglo bullets? What 'II you do when
they open lire along the whole line?
I'm ashamed of you. They can't hit an
elephant at this distance." (
A few seconds after reaching the i
battery the general was 'struck by a
bullet under tbe left eye, and lie fell
against bis chief of stii"', General M.
T. McMahon, carrying him lo the
ground with blm. Death was almost
Instantaneous. The news spread
quickly among the troops, and the
whole corps was soon mourning the
fall of 1,'nelo Jotm Sedgwick, who was
loved by the men for his kindly and
genial character.
On May 10 two .daring nsw.ult.-t were

Spottsylvania the troops of Hancock,
and Ewell were opposed In a struggle
for the possession of the key to the
field, a sharp, elevated position, fitly
called the "Bloody Angle." General
Edward Johnson's Confederate divi
sion held the front line of tbe angle
when Hancock sprung the attack dur
ing a fog early on the morning of May
12 and was captured almost entire
with Its commander. Other troops ral
lied to defend the angle, among them
the brigade of General Junius Daniel,
who was killed In one of tbe strangest
encounters on record. The troops
fought all day at arm's length over a
Blnglo breastwork. The recital of Inci

that warfare could be so terrible.

mountain tolling to break through tbe
passes held by General Joseph E.
Johnston's Confederate and covered,
by his guns. Beyond Fine mountain
lay bold Kenesaw, through wblcb the
railway passed leading to Atlanta.
Tbe actions fought during this stage
of Sherman's march were less san
guinary, than those taking place In
the same period on ' eastern battle
fields, but the National cemetery at
Marietta, on the southern slopes of
Kenesaw, holds the ashes of 10,000
Federal soldiers, who fell from the
bullets or disease. Kenesaw and the
lesser mountains around it held Sher
man's army a month. On tbe 27th of
June the heights were stormed, with
loss of 2,500 Federal assailants.
The operations In front of Kenesaw
mountain wore attended -with one of
those peculiar war trogedies which

On tbe morning of June 14 General
Johnston, accompanied by General
Hardee and General Folk, rode out to
tbe front to examine tbe post and de
termine upon its fate.
After completing tbelr examination
and deciding upon the Immediate with
drawal of tbe troops tbere the party
was fired upon by a Federal battery
of Farrott guns stationed about a
quarter of a mile distant At tbe third
shot a shell struck General Folk in the
chest and passed through his body from
left to right, killing blm Instantly.
General Folk received a military ed
ucation and graduated at West Point
Early in life he left tbe service for the
pulpit In the Protestant Episcopal
church and at the outbreak of the war
had reached the rank of bishop. Be
lieving that his military knowledge
would best serve tbe south In that cri
sis, he laid aside his robes and entered
the army, where his distinguished
services won for him advancement to
the rank of lieutenant general. j
In order to open tbe passes of Ken

man resorted to the doubtful expe
dient of direct assault upon the In
trenched and well manned lines of his
opponent. The attack was made June

at Gettysburg, was preceded by a
heavy cannonade. The whole long line

The two divisions of Newton end
Davis were exposed - to the lire of

and thirty-two. Held guns for two
hours. In places the assailants reached
the parapets, where many fell, and
some even crossed the trenches and
were killed there. The Confederates
stated thrit they counted a thousand
dead boys In' blue In the line closest to
their works. This assault was a bloody
failure, but that was not because of
want of valor In the troops. Finding
themselves In danger of annihilation,
yet scorning retreat, they clung to the
slight ridges under the enemy's guns.
Tbe brigade of General Daniel Mo
Cook built a little parapet within seventy-live
feet of the works. General
McCook was mortally wounded, and

to have a premonition of the carnage

Abandoned to Sherman, this leader
was supplanted In the command by
General J. B. Hood, a hero of the bat
tlefields of the Potomac. Hood an
nounced hie coming by a aeries of sor
ties against the foe then closing Ip
upon Atlanta. When Sherman beard
that Hood was In command of tbe
Confederate he warned his generals
that hard fighting lay ahead. He knew
Hood at West Point and In tbe old ar
my and declared that in gaming he
"always played the limit"
In a brilliant sortie led by Hood on
the 22d of July, which Is known as the
battle of Bald Hill, General J. B. Mo

the Tennessee under Sherman, was
killed. During the fight which was
going against bis line he rode out with
a single aid to order a brigade to fill a

but by tome strange error rode through
the gap into unoccupied ground. There

shot him from the saddle. When the
soldier learned who his victim waa he
