the neck, and actually blew away the jaw-bone and side
of the face. The bullet flattened into an irregular shape,
finding final lodgment in the socket of the eye, which it
dislodged. With these terrible injuries Matthews lingered
for two days.
* — Private Henry L. Newman, Eleventh Missouri,
Wilson's Creek. Lead rifle bullet entered left breast above
the heart, ranged upward and to the left, passing through
the upper lobe of the left lung, and, emerging at the shoulder, fractured it and tore a great hole through the shoulder-
blade. Newman lingered in great agony for seventy-two
hours.
** — Private Wilson, First Ohio Artillery, Chicka-
mauga, musket ball entered abdomen to the left of navel,
ranged upward and to the left, passing through the lung,
and made its exit to the left of the spinal column. The
wound was large enough to pass a handkerchief through.
***— Sergeant Evan A. Morris, Forty-Third Illinois Cavalry. Minie ball at 400 yards passed through left
forearm, with which he was guiding his horse, actually severing both bones so that shreds of muscle alone prevented
it from falling away, entered the abdomen, making a most
hideous hole, as the ball had been twisted into the shape
of an hour glass, and emerged on the left side, below the
twelfth rib, the wound of exit being twice as large as the
frightful hole by which it entered.
****— Private Guy, Thirty-Ninth North Carolina,
at Stone River. Musket ball entered at the junction of the
middle and upper third of the tibia, or large bone of the
lower part of the leg, actually carrying away a piece two
inches long, while the remainder of the bone above and
below was fractured in innumerable places. The bone
was fairly shattered, as was the smaller one next to it.
Guy died from the shock shortly after.
***** — Private Jonathan Harris, Seventy-Fourth
New York. Minie ball of .58 calibre struck the patella,
