Handling wounded men 69
Amongst the wounded I found one W. H. Bessy of my old co H 20 Me Vols with his right arm amputated above the elbow. He appeard very low and I did not expect to see him alive again, but after the war closed I found him settled at Ashland, Aroostook Co Maine. While we were here I visited the heights back of the city where the rebs confronted us in the fall of 1862.
