The death of Generals Cleburne and Adams. In the Bivouac for October, 1885, James Barr, of Company E, 65th Illinois Volunteers, writing olonel Stewart (65th Illinois) tried hard to save the life of General John Adams, of Mississippi. Colonel Stewart called to our men not to fire on him, but it was too late. Adams rode his horse over the ditch to the top of the parapet, undertook to grasp the old flag from the hands were killed on top of the works, which is incorrect. It was General John Adams, of Loring's division, Stewart's corps. Early next morning Itting his body in an ambulance; also the body of General Cleburne. Adams's horse was a bay.

When night came, the danger increased rather than diminished.

Between the gin-house and the Columbia Pike the fighting was fiercest, and the Confederate losses the greatest. Here fell most of the Confederate generals, who, that fateful afternoon, madly gave up their lives; Adams of Stewart's corps — his horse astride the works, and himself within a few feet of them. Cockrell and Quarles, of the same corps, were severely wounded. In Cheatham's corps, Cleburne and Granbury were killed near the pike. On the west of the p
