The Daily Dispatch: July 13, 1864., [Electronic resource], The execution of Cap. Leopold — his last letter to his Mother. (search)
ady rendered unendurable by dampness and its, contracted dimensions; with hands and feet manacled he spurned freedom that could be bought by swearing allegiance to the United States. Mother, sisters, home, life, were sacrificed for love of country. Nobly, bravely he died, and told his executioners he was glad they thought him worthy to die for his country. Even in his last moments of life he was not permitted freedom from manacles, but with hands pinioned he incited his last letter to his mother. His remains were brought to this place, and interred in the "Soldiers' Graveyard," May the 29th. All ages, conditions, and positions of life were there to witness the sad funeral rites, and not an eye but wept bitter tears for the brave young soldier when the wreathes, crosses, and bouquets were placed upon his coffin by his many lady friends. He sleeps in peace beside his comrades, his unfettered soul is revelling in the pure and ecstatic joys of a purer and far better world. Rebel.
