He wore the Cross of Honor, and nothing delighted him more than to talk about the war.

To augment his meager pension he sold a pamphlet containing in detail an account of his injuries and a description of the skilfully devised apparatus by which his declining life was made endurable.

A somewhat similar case is mentioned on page 585.
A most remarkable case of a soldier suffering numerous and almost incredible injuries and recovering and pursuing his vocation with undampened ardor is that of Jacques Roellinger, Company B, 47th New York Volunteers.

He appeared before a pension board in New York, June 29, 1865, with the following history: In 1862 he suffered a sabre-cut across the quadriceps extensor of the left thigh, and a sabre-thrust between the bones of the forearm at the middle third.

Soon afterward at Williamsburg, Va., he was shot in the thigh, the ball passing through the middle third external to the femur.
