| " He [ General Ben McCulloch] began his address something in the usual stereotyped fashion of, " Third Louisiana I have - you have - I have always found you ready. You have always been first in any daring act, you have never failed me when I have called upon you. I have now once more to call upon you, and I trust you will be as ready to obey, as what I now wish you to do is - well - is," and he pointed in the direction of the woman's house, " is just to let that red-headed one alone." - Sergeant William Watson, 3rd Louisiana Infantry, December, 1861, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, talking about a cantankerous woman living near their quarters, - From the Book, "Life in the Confederate Army" by Sergeant William Watson. |
