A Reminiscence .- The adventures of the brave boys who fought our country's battles would make a volume of massive size, but the following narrative of love and danger should no longer remain hidden in the mass of good things that still remain to be told : About three miles from the little village of Fall River, in Columbia County, is a successful and highly respected farmer, whose history during the four years of war was full of interest. He tried to enter the service under the call for 75,000 men, but was a little too late. Very soon after the the second call issued, he enlisted as a member of Company B, Seventh Regiment, and was made Third Sergeant. The spring of 1862, when Capt. Huntington resigned, George H. Brayton,

of whom I shall speak hereafter, was made Captain, and Sergt. M. C. Hobart, the farmer to whom reference is made, was commissioned First Lieutenant, at the battle of Gainesville, August 28, 1862, the first general engagement the Iron Brigade, of which the Seventh Regiment was a part, participated in, and in which battle the brigade fought, for more than two hours, Ewell's whole division of Stonewall Jackson's famous fighting corps, losing between 800 and 900 men in killed and wounded. Capt. Brayton was shot in the head and immediately expired. Hobart succeeded him as Captain, at the battle of Gettysburg, where Hobart was conspicuous for cool- ness, bravery and good management ; the brigade lost heavily in prisoners as well as killed and wounded. He was among the prisoners. On their second day's journeying toward Richmond and Libby Prison, while crossing the mountains, Capt. Hobart stealthily dodged in the friendly thicket and in a short time was a free man. The next day he joined his regiment, and parti- cipated in the chase after Lee's broken, defeated and demoralized army. At the battle of the Wilderness, in May, 1864, Capt. Hobart was again made prisoner; though making several attempts to escape the vigilance of his captors, they all failed, until after he had been a prisoner some time. It was while at Columbia, S. C., if we mistake not, Hobart, in company with others, made his escape; after many days and nights of fatigue and hardship, that in these times of peace and general comfort would seem unbearable, he was re-captured near the Union lines at Knoxville, East Tennessee, and taken to Danville, N. C .; thence to Libby Prison, Richmond ; was paroled February 22, 1865, and exchanged and returned to his regiment in April of the same year. Not long after that he was made Major of the Seventh, and in the spring of 1865, he was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel, Gen. Hallon Richardson, of Chippewa Falls, being Colonel, and Lieut. George S. Hoyt, now of the regular army, being Major. Col. Hobart was severely wounded in one of the many battles he participated in, two or three inches of one of the bones of his arm being removed. Hobart is as modest and unassum- ing in his role of a successful farmer, as he was brave, modest and unassuming as a soldier. The history of Company B, of the Seventh, would make entertaining reading; counting its original members and the recruits forwarded at various times, it had 140 men ; a great many of these were killed, and nearly every one of those who came home bore a bullet, bayonet or shell mark. Some of them were shot a half a dozen times ; a majority of the survivors are, very properly, drawing pensions. Spencer H. Bronson, Fall River's Postmaster, a gentleman highly esteemed both as an official and as a citizen, was one of its members. He was first shot at Gainesville, then at Fitzhugh's Crossing, below Fredricksburg, in May, 1863, and again seriously at the Wilderness, in 1864. Capt. G. H. Brayton, who was killed at Gainesville, entered the army as Orderly Sergeant. He was educated at Lawrence University, and one of the most promising young men in Columbia County when the war broke out. His men about idolized him, and no young officer in the regiment stood higher ; he had a bright future. Speaking of the Seventh, it may be well to mention an incident in connection with the early history of the regiment. While in winter quarters on Arlington Heights, opposite Washington, the winter of 1861-62, the family of Col. W. W. Robinson joined him. In the family was a bright and handsome daughter; Lieut. Richardson, of Company A, met and loved her, and wanted to marry her. She was willing, but Col. Robinson did not want his daughter to marry a man who was liable at almost any moment, when hostilities commenced, to be killed, and he lost no time in making this fact known to the daughter and the Lieutenant. But what was the use, the young people had made up their minds to marry, and marry they did, the ceremony taking place in Washington, unknown to the Colonel and his family. It was some weeks before lie learned he had a disobedient daughter and son-in-law, and it was years before he became reconciled. Having been an officer in the Mexican war, and being a regimental commander in the war of the rebellion, he had imbibed the notion, quite naturally too, that his orders must be obeyed. It proved a happy marriage. The Lieutenant became a Captain, then Major, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel, and left the army Brevet Brigadier General. Col. Robinson is United States Consul at Madagascar.
