His text dealt with the battle of Kessler's Cross Lanes, a relatively minor encounter in August of 1861, near Charleston, West Virginia. Captain Cross was wounded in the shoulder and captured by Confederate troops under General Floyd. At the cross-roads the rebel surgeon-general, Dr. Gleaves, of Wytheville, Virginia, of Floyd's army, took a silk handkerchief from his pocket, tied it to my silk handkerchief, and made a sling for my arm. The next day I offered him the handkerchief, but he said that I needed it, and told me to keep it till he called for it, which I have done, though I am taking steps to return it to his family. My mother kept it as long as she lived, as showing what a kind-hearted enemy might do on the battle-field.
