One-third was killed and wounded before Buckland's brigade, Sunday morning; one-third had straggled to the rear; the remaining third rallied to enter into Monday's battle. In accordance with the direction of General Buell, McCook deployed Rousseau's brigade into line facing toward Shiloh Church.
So he was bound to have a new pair and pay by the week. A cheap pair, that would see him out, come to threepence a week for three months.
