He was a grand Christian cavalier. He was seen kneeling on the roadside for his morning prayer in the presence of the whole brigade. He must have heard the sneers and profane jests. A few days later going into a fight he led the charge and stayed among the enemy until they were forced to retreat. From that time on when he knelt down to pray no one made a noise. Godless men removed their hats. He had a premonition of his death in battle. He had never made his will, but on that sad morning he did, telling his servant to take his horses home.
