CHAPTER LXXVI
5/17

Like Winder, if he had a redeeming quality it was carefully obscured from the view of all that I ever met who knew him.
Where the fellow came from, what State was entitled to the discredit of producing and raising him, what he was before the War, what became of him after he left us, are matters of which I never heard even a rumor, except a very vague one that he had been killed by our cavalry, some returned prisoner having recognized and shot him.
Colonel Iverson, of the Fifth Georgia, was the Post Commander.

He was a man of some education, but had a violent, ungovernable temper, during fits of which he did very brutal things.

At other times he would show a disposition towards fairness and justice.

The worst point in my indictment against him is that he suffered Barrett to do as he did.
Let the reader understand that I have no personal reasons for my opinion of these men.

They never did anything to me, save what they did to all of my companions.
