His importunity with General Ward had secured the detail of the whole of Reed's, as well as the balance of Stark's, regiment, so that the entire left was protected by New Hampshire troops. With all their energy they were able to gather from the shore only stone enough for partial cover, while they lay down, or kneeled, to fire.
Masterson proved to be a motherly lady of fifty, and she readily consented to keep the boys and give them their supper and breakfast. "You won't have to pay a cent," she declared. I am glad to do Doctor Reed's son a favor, and your friend a favor too. The doctor is a wonderfully fine man." "An' Mr. Dodge treated me right on that lumber fer the barn," put in Aaron Masterson.
The city of Winona. Its name and origin. The Winona and St. Peters Railroad. The Air-Line Railroad. Her educational interests. Advancement of the West. The towns of Wabasha and Reed's Landing. Lake Pepin and Maiden's Rock. Romantic story. An old fort. Lake City and Frontenac. Red Wing and Hastings. Red Rock. The first landing in Minnesota, going up the river, is made at
At Reed's elbow, Scott followed each inflection of the persuasive voice, his lean face glowing with appreciation at every point his idol scored. For the time being, awkwardness was lost and all self-consciousness. Why think about himself, when he could have the chance to watch Reed Opdyke and to listen to him?
With reference to the experiments made for the solution of this question I cannot do better than to quote in extensa from Dr. Reed's paper read at the Pan-American Medical Congress in Havana. Reed's paper describes in careful scientific detail the experiments which finally established the fact that the contagion came through mosquitoes, and in no other way.
Reed's hands still lay on her work inactive: her eye of ice continued to dwell freezingly on mine. "What more have you to say?" she asked, rather in the tone in which a person might address an opponent of adult age than such as is ordinarily used to a child. That eye of hers, that voice stirred every antipathy I had. Shaking from head to foot, thrilled with ungovernable excitement, I continued
I looked into a certain corner near, half-expecting to see the slim outline of a once dreaded switch which used to lurk there, waiting to leap out imp-like and lace my quivering palm or shrinking neck. I approached the bed; I opened the curtains and leant over the high-piled pillows. Well did I remember Mrs. Reed's face, and I eagerly sought the familiar image.
If it were not for the fact that Reed's ego is his own property, not ours, we could have settled this point about his future, months on months ago. Beyond a certain limit, though, there is no way for us to tell how far he responds to our experimental treatment. If his muscles do twitch, well and good.
Daniel Cox, 7th December, 1779, says "Should you see Joe Reed's late speech to the assembly of Pennsylvania, you would imagine they felt no shock from the Georgia defeat. If but common means are actively employed and properly conducted, the rebellion must be crushed totally next campaign.
But they bore up under all, and gave the world such an illustration of practical Christianity as it had never seen before. Mr. Reed's little book is so earnestly and unambitiously written, that its graphic power may escape notice. Yet it is full of picturesque touches; and in the line of rapidly succeeding anecdote there is nothing of repetition.
