The Daily Dispatch: March 15, 1862., [Electronic resource], Notes of the War. (search)
ithin about forty yards of the shore the supposed women, with other Federals, commenced a very brisk fire on the boat with their muskets, killing one and wounding two others. The one killed was a boy of fourteen years, known on the boat as powder boy. He deserves to be written down a hero. While strong and stalwart men were seeking a hiding place under the bomb-proof shelter, this brave, manly boy stood to his post till pierced by the fatal ball. He had hardly fallen when little Johnny Reeder, of about the same age, stepped up to the Captain, amidst a shower of bullets, and spoke with heroic firmness, "Captain, I will be your powder boy now!" We scarcely know which most to admire. Both were brave, and gave striking evidence of the folly of our enemies in supposing they can subjugate us. The enemy will soon be dislodged from Point Pleasant. It is only a ruse on their part, to throw our forces from Fort Thompson. Our troops are all in fine spirits and sanguine of success.
