J. C. C. Black (search for this): chapter 9
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. 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. 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 contin

his wounds were again dressed, and although the quantity of the discharge from them had diminished, the process of healing was still going on. The pain in his side had disappeared, but he breathed with difficulty, and complained of a feeling of great exhaustion. When Dr. Breckenridge (who, with Dr. Smith, had been sent for in consultation) said he hoped that a blister which had been applied would afford him great relief, he expressed his own confidence in it, and in his final recovery. Dr. Tucker, from Richmond, arrived on Saturday, and all that human skill could devise was done to stay the hand of death. He suffered no pain to-day, and his breathing was less difficult, but he was evidently hourly growing weaker. When his child was brought to him to-day he played with it for some time, frequently caressing it and calling it his little comforter. At one time he raised his wounded hand above his head and closing his eyes, was for some moments silently engaged in prayer. He said

his horse dashed through the woods, were dressed simply with isinglass plaster. About half-past 3 o'clock, Colonel (then Major) Pendleton, the assistant adjutant-general, arrived at the hospital and asked to see the General. He stated that General Hill had been wounded, and that the troops were in great disorder. General Stuart was in command, and had sent him to see the General. At first I declined to permit an interview, but the colonel urged that the safety of the army and success of therve 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 ex

At first I declined to permit an interview, but the colonel urged that the safety of the army and succesen he entered the tent the General said: Well, major, I am glad to see you. I thought you were killed. Pendleton briefly explained the condition of affairs, gave Stuart's message, and asked what should be done. General Jackson was at once interested, and asked in his quick, rapid way several questions. When they were answered, lashed its old fire, but it was only for a moment; his face relaxed again, and presently he answered very feebly and sadly, I don't know, I can't tell; say to General Stuart he must do what he thinks best. Soon after this he slept for several hours, and seemed to be doing well. The next morning he was free from pain, and express

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 greatest incentives to gallantry in others. He spoke of Colonel Willis (subsequently killed in battle), who commanded the skirmishers of Rodes's division, and praised him very highly, and referred to the deaths of Paxton and Boswell very feelingly. He alluded to them as officers of great merit and promise. The day was quite warm, and at one time he suffered from slight nausea. At his suggestion, I placed over his stomach a wet towel, and he expressed great relief from it. After he arrived at Chandler's house he ate some bread and tea with evident relish,

o 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 informed of this order of the commanding-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 sent in front to clear the road of wood, stone, etc., and to order the wagons out of the track to let the ambulance pass. The rough teamsters sometimes refused to move their loaded wagons out of the way for an ambulance until told that it contained Jackson, and then, 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, b

Pray for me, but always remember in your prayers to use the petition, Thy will be done.
