李 将 军 轶 事

at the battle of gettysburg, which constituted the turning-point in the us civil war, a federal soldier had his left leg shattered by a ball. as he lay on the ground, he saw general lee, commander of the confederates, ordered his retreat. a most bitter anti-southman, the soldier taunted the general as he rode near, and shouted, "hurrah for the union ! "

the soldier gave an account of what happened afterwards : "the general stopped, dismounted, and came towards me. i at first thought he meant to kill me. but as he came up he looked down at me with such a sad expression upon his face that all fear left me. he extended his hand to me, and grasping mine firmly, said, 'my son, i hope you will soon be well.'
