"by Doctor Charles E. Banks." | "1880," |
This biography of Capt. Walter Gendall by Dr. Charles E. Banks was the lead article in the July, 1880 issue of Old Times. It documents Gendall's life and his 1688 death at the mouth of North Yarmouth's Royall River that began the Indian War known as King William's War. The biography was so important that Captain Corliss published the entire 37 pages without his usual serialization in addition to this separate pamphlet edition. |

The following quotation from "The Bloodiest Day. The Battle of Antietam." is about the 7th Squadron of the Rhode Island Cavalry in describing the Federal breakout from Harpers Ferry on September 14th, 1862:"....Toward the rear, Major Augustus W. Corliss addressed his 7th Squadron Rhode Island Cavalry, an outfit dubbed the 'college cavaliers' because almost all of the members were three-month volunteers from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and Norwich University in Vermont. Corliss told them that by the next morning they would be free men, prisoners or dead -- 'in Pennsylvania, on the way to Richmond or in Hell.'..."11. The Bloodiest Day. The Battle of Antietam, Ronald H. Bailey et al, Time Life Books, 1984, Rev. 1985. |
