Springfield, Mo. (Missouri, United States) (search for this): chapter 9
told him that amputation would probably be required, and asked if it was found necessary whether it should be done at once. He replied promptly: Yes, certainly. Dr. McGuire, do for me whatever you think best. Chloroform was then administered, and as he began to feel its effects, and its relief to the pain he was suffering, he exclaimed: What an infinite blessing, and continued to repeat the word blessing, until he became insensible. The round ball (such as is used for the smooth-bore Springfield musket), which had lodged under the skin upon the back of his right hand, was extracted first. It had entered the palm about the middle of the hand, and had fractured two of the bones. The left arm was then amputated about two inches below the shoulder, very rapidly and with slight loss of blood, the ordinary circular operation having been made. There were two wounds in his arm. The first and most serious was about three inches below the shoulder-joint, the ball dividing the main arter
Jackson (Mississippi, United States) (search for this): chapter 9
Death of Stonewall Jackson. by Dr. Hunter McGuire, medical director of Jackson's corps. Supported upon either side by his aids—Captain James P. Smith and Joseph Morrison—the General moved slowly and painfully towards the rear. Occasionally resting for a moment to shake off the exhaustion which pain and the loss of blood produced, he at last reached the line of battle, where most of the men were lying down to escape the shell and canister with which the Federals raked the road. General Pe aside the men who supported him, he stretched himself to his full height and answered feebly, but distinctly enough to be heard above the din of the battle: General Pender, you must hold on to the field; you must hold out to the last. It was Jackson's last order upon the field of battle. Still more exhausted by this effort, he asked to be permitted to lie down for a few moments, but the danger from the fire, and capture by the Federal advance, was too imminent, and his aids hurried him on.

nd not to me. This night he slept well, and was free from pain. A message was received from General Lee the next morning directing me to remove the General to Guinea's station as soon as his condition would justify it, as there was some danger of capture by the Federals, who were threatening to cross at Ely's Ford. In the meamy duties with the corps as medical director were turned over to the surgeon next in rank. General Jackson had previously declined to permit me to go with him to Guinea's, because complaints had been so frequently made of general officers, when wounded, carrying off with them the surgeons belonging to their commands. When informcommanding-general he said,General Lee has always been very kind to me, and I thank him. Very early Tuesday morning he was placed in an ambulance and started for Guinea's station, and about 8 o'clock that evening he arrived at the Chandler house, where he remained till he died. Captain Hotchkiss, with a party of engineers, was s

, with all possible speed, they gave the way and stood with hats off and weeping as he went by. At Spotsylvania Courthouse and along the whole route men and women rushed to the ambulance, bringing all the poor delicacies they had, and with tearful eyes they blessed him and prayed for his recovery. He bore the journey well, and was cheerful throughout the day. He talked freely about the late battle, and among other things said that he had intended to endeavor to cut the Federals off from United States ford, and taking a position between them and the river, oblige them to attack him; and he added, with a smile: My men sometimes fail to drive the enemy from a position, but they always fail to drive us away. He spoke of Rodes, and alluded in high terms to his magnificent behavior on the field Saturday evening. He hoped he would be promoted. He thought promotion for gallantry should be made at once, upon the field and not delayed. Made very early, or upon the field, they would be the

with members of his staff; now with his wife and child; now at prayers with his military family. Occasional intervals of return of his mind would appear, and during one of them I offered him some brandy and water, but he declined it, saying, It will only delay my departure, and do no good; I want to preserve my mind, if possible, to the last. About half-past 1 he was told that he had but two hours to live, and he answered again, feebly, but firmly, Very good, it is all right. A few moments before he died he cried out in his delirium, Order A. P. Hill to prepare for action! Pass the infantry to the front rapidly! Tell Major Hawks ——, then stopped, leaving the sentence unfinished. Presently a smile of ineffable sweetness spread itself over his pale face, and he cried quietly and with an expression as if of relief, Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees; and then, without pain or the least struggle, his spirit passed from earth to the God who gave

The following note from General Lee was read to him that morning by Captain Smith: I have just received your note, informing me tad. I congratulate you upon the victory, which is due to your skill and energy. He replied: General Lee should give the praise to God.

He had been wounded very serio leg, and was suffering intensely. The General expressed, very feelingly, his sympathy for Crutchfield, and once, when the latter groaned aloud, he directed the ambulance to stop, and requested mefficer. At one time he put his right hand upon my head, and pulling me down to him, asked if Crutchfield was dangerously injured. When answered No, only painfully hurt, he replied, I am glad it is no worse. In a few moments after Crutchfield did the same thing, and when he was told that the General was very seriously wounded, he groaned and cried out, Oh, my God! It was for this that the General directed the ambulance to be halted, and requested that something should be done for Crutchfield's relief.

It was for this that the General directed the ambulance to be halted, and requested that something should be done for Crutchfield's relief. After reaching the hospital he was placed in bed, covered with blankets, and another drink of whiskey and water given him. Two hours and a half elapsed before sufficient reaction took place to warrant an examination. At 2 o'clock, Sunday morning, Surgeons Black, Walls and Coleman being present, I informed him that chloroform would be given him, and his wounds examined. I told him that amputation would probably be required, and asked if it was found necessary whether it should be done at once. He replied promptly: Yes, certainly.
