Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Holy Communion Church Institute: Of Charleston, South Carolina Ok that fearful night of February 17, 1865, when Columbia, the fair capital of South Carolina, was enveloped in flames, amid those fierce and fiery billows which swept over the devoted city, I found myself with my little family. Helpless, almost hopeless, not knowing what terrible fate awaited us, in this frightful extremity God raised me up a devoted friend in the person of Lieutenant John A. McQueen, of the Fifteenth Illinois Cavalry, which was the escort of General O.O. Howard. During the entire stay of the Federal Army in the now blackened and ruined city, this devoted officer never forsook us, giving all the protection he possibly could; and it was only when the last company of United States soldiers had departed that he took his leave. On parting with him, as he mounted his horse, I placed in his hands a letter, addressed by me to General Wade Hampton, or any other Confederate into whose custody he might fall. I charged him to retain this on his person, as, in the chances of war, he might find it useful. The story is a long one, and will be repeated elsewhere at some future time. Suffice it to say, that ten days after, near Camden, South Carolina, Lieutenant McQueen was wounded in a skirmish, and my letter was the means of saving his life.
