Excerpt from As I Saw It In reading over the personal memoirs Of U. S. Grant, in V0]. 1, page 252, some incidents Of the Civil War in Missouri, not touched upon by him, except in a merely allusive way, were brought to my mind, and as I am sure they have never appeared in print, I will endeavor to relate them as I saw them. History tells us of battles fought and number Of men killed and wounded, but it does not tell us of the camp life Of the soldier nor the pathetic, heroic and amusing incidents by which every battle or skirmish is attended.
