REWARD FOR CAPTURE OF ASSASSIN
UNION HERO OF GETTYSBURG, GENERAL DAN SICKLES, WRITES HIS OWN STORY
OF THE GREAT BATTLE AND WHAT PRESIDENT LINCOLN TOLD HIM ABOUT IT
tickles Who Captured Peach Orchard and
Whose Leg Was Shot Away While Doing It
Also Tells Of Losing His Head at Atlanta
EDITOR'S NOTEHere is (Jen. Dan Sickles' own story of (he part be played in the decisive
battle of the war. i
- The fiftieth anniversary of that battle is to hi* celebrated at Gettysburg next week by the re
united union and confederate veterans, and the leading figure at the reunion will be Gen. Sickles
himself, on crutches, »:» years old, the only surviving general who fought on that bloody field.
There he will tell his old comrades, as here he tells Times readers, of the gallant Reach Or
chard fight in which he lost his leg, of his remarkable talk with President Lincoln afterward, and of
his friendly adventure later in Atlanta with his old Gettysburg enemy, Gen. longstreet.
BY MAJ. GEN. DANIEL E. SICKLES.
Copyright, 1918, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association.
The semi-centennial ceremonies of the battle of Gettysburg appeal with
compelling power to me because of the part which Fate decreed that I should
play in the great conflict, because I left my leg on that bloody field and be
cause I am the only general of either side who has been spared through the 50
years that have intervened. $
All the others, of both the northern and southern
armies, have gone. I alone, at the age of 93, remain.
I have been asked by the editor of the Times to tell
how I lost my leg at Gettysburg, and I am happy to
comply, and I will also tell how I lost my head at
Atlanta— to Gen. Longstreet and hot Irish
whisky punch.
| I never knew what sort of missile hit me, but the
surgeons believed it was a fragment of a shell.
I was struck about 6 o'clock in the evening of
July 2, after having taken my advanced position
in the Peach Orchard and having fought for hours
with the command of Gen. Longstreet opposite me
on the confederate side, to prevent the enemy taking
the Round Tops which were just to my left. I was
mounted on a fine black stallion and was standing
under an apple tree when the missile, flying along
side my horse, struck my right leg.
It was a terrific wound, and pained me intensely,
but it did not knock me from my horse or make me
lose consciousness, nor did it touch my horse. I dis
mounted by myself and was helped onto a litter by my aides.
The report flew up and down my lines that I had been killed, and officers came running to
get the facts. - They reported that my men were panic-stricken, so I directed my- aides to carry me
the whole length of my lines, that my soldiers might see me.
I was losing a great deal of blood and felt weak, hut 1 had my head and shoulders raised, and
as I was carried along the line I held my hat in my hand und waved it to the boys. They saw I had
Dot been killed and they cheered me and took heart for the fighting.
It seemed to be the logical, sensible thing forme to do at the time, and I was surprised later,
when for that service I was given the congressiond gold medal of honor for bravery. ,•'*-■'",
Sly leg was amputated Immediately in. the fl»ld hospital, Thursday, July -. and I was taken to
Washington, arriving early Sunday morning. I m carried to v house where quarters had been
obtained for me, on the same stretcher on which I was laid at Gettysburg. The landlady was not
up yet and we waited a few minutes outside her door. As it was warm I had laid a handkerchief
over my face. Seeing mo the landlady said:
"He is dead!"
"Oh, no," I replied, removing the. handkerchief, "only dozing a little."
• HOW LINCOLN'S PRAYER WAS ANSWERED
Soon, after I reached my apartment President Lincoln came to see me. After he had given a
touching expression of his sympathy, we talked about the battle. I said: —
"Mr. Lincoln, we heard at Gettysburg that here at the capital you were all so anxious about the
result of the battle that government officials packed up and got ready to leave at short notice, with
the official archives." - '■> :■■■
"Yes," he said, "some precautions were prudently taken, but I was sure of our . success , at
Gettysburg." * '• . • .'. .
', "Why were you so confident?" I asked. ."The army of tlie Potomac had suffered-many
reverses." ...'•.■ .'.""*
,"•.- There was a pause. The president seemed in deep meditation, His pale face; was. lighted up
by an expression I had not observed before. He said:
'.' "When Lee cross the Potomac and entered Pennsylvania, followed by our army, I felt that the
crisis had come. I knew that defeat in a great buttle on northern soil involved the loss of Wash
ington, to be followed, perhaps, by the intervention of England and France in favor of the southern
* confederacy. 1 went to my room and got down on my knees in prayer."
"I was sure my prayer was answered. I knew that God was on our side. I had no misgiving
•bout the result at Gettysburg." . _
'■■■ When Mr. Lincoln rose to leave he took my hand nnd said:
1 "Sickles, lam told, as you have >een told, perhaps, that your condition is serious. lam in a
prophetic mood today. YOU WILL GET WELL!" .
SEEING LONGSTREET HOME AT ATLANTA
Although it was Gen. Longstreet's command that attacked me in the Peach Orchard, and
caused me to go through the rest of my life on crutches, the general and myself became warm
friends after the war. We attended many celebrations together, he with one arm and 1 with one leg.
■ One of our liveliest experiences was at a celebration of St. Patrick's day In Atlanta, when, I
must confess, we had been supplied lavishly with hot Irish whisky punch in pitchers.
* When I was called on to make a speech I did the best I could, considering the whisky punch.'
I agreed to make a speech if Longstreet would sing "The Star Spangled Banner," - which' lie did to
the accompaniment of great shouting. ...-''.- _
'..:•'.• Soon after midnight we started home, but our carriage could not be found and we managed to
walk to my hotel, I on crutches. When we got there, I said: . „..;
, , ■ "Longstreet, yon are quite deaf; it Is very late; 1 cannot allow you to go home alone."
.1 He replied:,-. "All right, if you feel like escorting me I would be very glad." " . •...'■ '-.*■'■'
So I walked to his hotel with him, and when we got there he said*. "Sickles, you are on
crutches; it is very dark; 1 can't allow you to walk back to your hotel alone. I will escort . you

MILLS INSISTS
THAT LOUIS ;
IS SICK
Commissioner Mills insists -to
day that Chief of Police Loomls
is very ill and if he quits as chief
it will be because' of his physical
disability. He pooh-poohs the
talk on the street that the reports
of Loomis' ill health is just a lit
tle toboggan slide by which th<
chief is .to be let out gracefully
because certain people arc said to
1 have gone to him recently and
told him that either the chief of
police must be eliminated or a re
call election would be forthcom-
ing.
"The chief is sick," said Mills.
"I am keeping In touch with him
every day, but he is ln bad shape
physically."
