While he was plunging in\u003cbr\u003eagony I dismounted, and the quick eye of Captain May observed me as I\u003cbr\u003ealighted from my horse. He inquired if I was hurt. I answered no--that\u003cbr\u003emy horse was the sufferer. I am glad it is not yourself,' replied he;\u003cbr\u003e'there is another,' (pointing at the same time to a steed without a\u003cbr\u003erider, which was standing with dilated eye, gazing at the strife,)\u003cbr\u003e'mount him,' I approached the horse, and he stood still until I put my\u003cbr\u003ehand upon the rein and patted his neck, when he rubbed his head\u003cbr\u003ealongside of me, as if pleased that some human being was about to become\u003cbr\u003ehis companion in the affray.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"On the second day, at Resaca de la Palma, our troop stood anxiously\u003cbr\u003ewaiting for the signal to be given, and never had I looked upon men on\u003cbr\u003ewhose countenances were more clearly expressed a fixed determination to\u003cbr\u003ewin. The lips of some were pale with excitement, and their eyes wore\u003cbr\u003ethat fixed expression which betokens mischief; others, with shut teeth,\u003cbr\u003ewould quietly laugh, and catch a tighter grip of the rein, or seat\u003cbr\u003ethemselves with care and firmness in the saddle, while quiet words of\u003cbr\u003econfidence and encouragement were passed from each to his neighbor. All\u003cbr\u003eat once Captain May rode to the front of his troop--every rein and sabre\u003cbr\u003ewas tightly grasped. Raising himself and pointing at the battery, he\u003cbr\u003eshouted, 'Men, _follow_!' There was now a clattering of hoofs and a\u003cbr\u003erattling of sabre sheaths--the fire of the enemy's guns was partly drawn\u003cbr\u003eby Lieutenant Ridgely, and the next moment we were sweeping like the\u003cbr\u003ewind up the ravine. I was in a squad of about nine men, who were\u003cbr\u003eseparated by a shower of grape from the battery, and we were in advance,\u003cbr\u003eMay leading.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101167141104,"sku":"2940016070049","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016070049","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
