As it so often happens in the fast-moving tide of war, the lines of battle shifted, and the Rebels were forced to make a hasty retreat in all directions. The only men left in the yard were like David, unable to move without some help, or already dead. The change in sides came so quickly all David noticed was the uniforms went from grey to blue, and soon the Union medics were treating his wounds. He was pleased that the bleeding had stopped on its own. The mud had caked over the wounds like a clay bandage. It probably saved his life. One bullet had gone through his right pant leg, leaving a hole. But the other bulled had hit him in the left knee. The core man dressed and bandaged his wound, then he got David back on his feet, able to walk a little again. After the rebels were repulsed, David was ordered to the War Department barracks. He did duty around the old Capitol Prison, and the Navy Yards Prison, where Mrs. Surratt and other accomplices of Pres. Lincoln's assassination were confined.
