“
But
what
about
the
fighting
?
”
said
I
,
“
was
not
that
worse
than
anything
else
?
”
“
Well
,
”
said
he
,
“
I
hardly
know
;
we
always
liked
to
hear
the
trumpet
sound
,
and
to
be
called
out
,
and
were
impatient
to
start
off
,
though
sometimes
we
had
to
stand
for
hours
,
waiting
for
the
word
of
command
;
and
when
the
word
was
given
we
used
to
spring
forward
as
gayly
and
eagerly
as
if
there
were
no
cannon
balls
,
bayonets
,
or
bullets
.
I
believe
so
long
as
we
felt
our
rider
firm
in
the
saddle
,
and
his
hand
steady
on
the
bridle
,
not
one
of
us
gave
way
to
fear
,
not
even
when
the
terrible
bomb
-
shells
whirled
through
the
air
and
burst
into
a
thousand
pieces
.
“
I
,
with
my
noble
master
,
went
into
many
actions
together
without
a
wound
;
and
though
I
saw
horses
shot
down
with
bullets
,
pierced
through
with
lances
,
and
gashed
with
fearful
saber
-
cuts
;
though
we
left
them
dead
on
the
field
,
or
dying
in
the
agony
of
their
wounds
,
I
don
’
t
think
I
feared
for
myself
.
My
master
’
s
cheery
voice
,
as
he
encouraged
his
men
,
made
me
feel
as
if
he
and
I
could
not
be
killed
.
I
had
such
perfect
trust
in
him
that
while
he
was
guiding
me
I
was
ready
to
charge
up
to
the
very
cannon
’
s
mouth
.
I
saw
many
brave
men
cut
down
,
many
fall
mortally
wounded
from
their
saddles
.
I
had
heard
the
cries
and
groans
of
the
dying
,
I
had
cantered
over
ground
slippery
with
blood
,
and
frequently
had
to
turn
aside
to
avoid
trampling
on
wounded
man
or
horse
,
but
,
until
one
dreadful
day
,
I
had
never
felt
terror
;
that
day
I
shall
never
forget
.
”
Here
old
Captain
paused
for
awhile
and
drew
a
long
breath
;
I
waited
,
and
he
went
on
.
“
It
was
one
autumn
morning
,
and
as
usual
,
an
hour
before
daybreak
our
cavalry
had
turned
out
,
ready
caparisoned
for
the
day
’
s
work
,
whether
it
might
be
fighting
or
waiting
.
The
men
stood
by
their
horses
waiting
,
ready
for
orders
.
As
the
light
increased
there
seemed
to
be
some
excitement
among
the
officers
;
and
before
the
day
was
well
begun
we
heard
the
firing
of
the
enemy
’
s
guns
.
“
Then
one
of
the
officers
rode
up
and
gave
the
word
for
the
men
to
mount
,
and
in
a
second
every
man
was
in
his
saddle
,
and
every
horse
stood
expecting
the
touch
of
the
rein
,
or
the
pressure
of
his
rider
’
s
heels
,
all
animated
,
all
eager
;
but
still
we
had
been
trained
so
well
that
,
except
by
the
champing
of
our
bits
,
and
the
restive
tossing
of
our
heads
from
time
to
time
,
it
could
not
be
said
that
we
stirred
.
“
My
dear
master
and
I
were
at
the
head
of
the
line
,
and
as
all
sat
motionless
and
watchful
,
he
took
a
little
stray
lock
of
my
mane
which
had
turned
over
on
the
wrong
side
,
laid
it
over
on
the
right
,
and
smoothed
it
down
with
his
hand
;
then
patting
my
neck
,
he
said
,
’
We
shall
have
a
day
of
it
to
-
day
,
Bayard
,
my
beauty
;
but
we
’
ll
do
our
duty
as
we
have
done
.
’
He
stroked
my
neck
that
morning
more
,
I
think
,
than
he
had
ever
done
before
;
quietly
on
and
on
,
as
if
he
were
thinking
of
something
else
.
I
loved
to
feel
his
hand
on
my
neck
,
and
arched
my
crest
proudly
and
happily
;
but
I
stood
very
still
,
for
I
knew
all
his
moods
,
and
when
he
liked
me
to
be
quiet
,
and
when
gay
.
“
I
cannot
tell
all
that
happened
on
that
day
,
but
I
will
tell
of
the
last
charge
that
we
made
together
;
it
was
across
a
valley
right
in
front
of
the
enemy
’
s
cannon
.
By
this
time
we
were
well
used
to
the
roar
of
heavy
guns
,
the
rattle
of
musket
fire
,
and
the
flying
of
shot
near
us
;
but
never
had
I
been
under
such
a
fire
as
we
rode
through
on
that
day
.
From
the
right
,
from
the
left
,
and
from
the
front
,
shot
and
shell
poured
in
upon
us
.
Many
a
brave
man
went
down
,
many
a
horse
fell
,
flinging
his
rider
to
the
earth
;
many
a
horse
without
a
rider
ran
wildly
out
of
the
ranks
;
then
terrified
at
being
alone
,
with
no
hand
to
guide
him
,
came
pressing
in
among
his
old
companions
,
to
gallop
with
them
to
the
charge
.
