Sunday, October 18, 1868 – “Once more rings out the bugle call…”

It is quite cool to day. There is none of the folks to church to day. There is no preaching at Lees church to day. A. Boyd was down to church.

The last fight of the war.
Once more rings out the bugle call
Once more the banner flies!
Once more the
Boys are gathering.
Beneath the Autumn skies.
For Treason makes
its final fight
Against the rights of Man.
But the flag we 
raise as in other days
And Grant is in the van.
