sent to Europe as Commercial Agent of the Confederacy, and remained there until the close of the war. But he did not forget his men. While in Europe he sent through the blockade a full suit of clothes and a pair of boots to each member of his old battery.

It was commanded by my almost life-long friend, Lindsay Walker, as gallant a soldier as ever carried a gun into action, and next in command, the boy soldier, Willie Pegram, whom I had known and loved from his babyhood, and who in the beginn
