Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 1. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Camp fires of the boys in Gray . (search)
Camp fires of the boys in Gray. By Private Carlton McCarthy, of the Richmond Howitzers.
[Note.--The substance of this paper was delivered in response to a toast at the banquet and reunion of the Richmond Howitzers, November 9th, 1875, and there has been a very general desire for its publication.
It is a vivid picture of camp life, which will be readily recognized by the old soldier,. and contains matter well worthy of a place in these papers.]
The soldier may forget the long, weary march, with its dust, heat and thirst, and he may forget the horrors and blood of the battle-field, or he may recall them sadly, as one thinks of the loved dead; but the cheerful, happy scenes of the camp fire he will never forget!
How willingly he closes his eyes to the present to dream of those happy, careless days and nights.
Around the fire crystallize the memories of the soldier's life.
It was his home — his place of rest, where he met with good companionship.
Who kindled the fire? Nobody
