A recollection of Pelham.
How two of his guns held out against six of the enemy.
One day in the latter part of August, 1863 (I write from memory only), General Pleasanton, with a large force of cavalry, had been feeling for General Lee w, a point probably a little over half way between the timber and the road.
Out from this timber was coming a section of Pelham's Battery at a full gallop, down the hill, over the branch, where we lost sight of them, and then coming in sight again j the audacity of two little guns daring to break up their fire on the wagons that they did not recover their balance until Pelham's guns had fired five or six rounds; then they began to reply.
About this time it occurred to me that I had no business vils on the other hill had made it too hot for them.
I give this reminiscence of one little episode brought out by the unveiling of Pelham's portrait at the George E. Pickett Camp, and if you think it worth while you can publish it. J. B. Moore.
