than poison because he came from another company.

    Capt. Saunders was glad to see me, however, and I found I had arrived just in time to be of some use as 1st Sergeant of my company. Already the arrangements were being made to discharge the army and send the soldiers home. It was the duty of the 1st Sergeant to make out the company rolls in duplicate. This was no small job. On that roll was the name of every man that ever belonged to Company H, from the 21st day of August 1862 to the present time, with Rank, Age, Height, Complexion, Color of Hair, Color of Eyes, where he was born, Occupation, when he enlisted. Killed, Wounded, In Hospital, Died of Disease, Prisoner, or Missing. This all had to be done in pen and ink in duplicate. I detailed Jim Wakefield to help me and we worked at the job day and night about ten days before we had finished it.

    On that day the Army of the Potomac passed in review before the PRESIDENT, General GRANT, General MEADE, Members of the CABINET, SENATORS, REPRESENTATIVES, and a vast crowd of people from all over the United States.

    On the next day The GRAND ARMY OF THE WEST, under the Command of General WILLIAM T. SHERMAN repeated the performance and the Great Review was over. This was the last time the Great Army ever marched together. Soon after they were disbanded and sent to their homes.
