GENERAL JOHN C. FREMONT, THE RENOWNED EXPLORER THE GREAT CIVIL WAR. 255 a real battlefield looks like that—and grandpa said that it did, and hewas there,—I never want to see a real one. But yon would be a man if the Union was going all to pieces?shouted Bennie. Yes, I hope I would—I almost know I would, was the hesitatinganswer, and the boys cheeks flushed, as he looked around with flashingeyes. Grandfather was wounded the first day of the fight, and takenprisoner. He was in the Sixteenth Maine, and that was where they toreup the silk flag which the women at home gave them.

PICTURE OF GENERAL LEE.
