CHAPTER III.

FOURTH OF JULY AT SACRAMENTO.

“In war take all the time for thinking that the circumstances allow, but when the time for action comes, stop thinking.”

Andrew Jackson.

SACRAMENTO at last! Ah, boys, little did we think when our section pulled in at Twenty-first street, that we were now on the future field of the great and glorious, but bloodless battle of “The Depot.” The battle of strategic “co-operations” and still existing “truces,” in which we were destined to take such a prominent “standing” part.
