Even, in that time of danger, the memory of the 'One Hoss Shay' came to me, and I thought that the May Schofield was doing exactly the same thing, although only half as old."

"It was too much for the old girl with that load in her.
Stoneman, now in Kentucky, organizing the cavalry forces of the Army of the Ohio, will operate with Schofield on his left front it may be, pushing a select body of about two thousand cavalry by Ducktown or Elijah toward Athens, Georgia.
If you want Schofield find him." The young man drew back, nonplussed, but might have continued his attentions had not a passer-by come to Pete's rescue and sworn to his identity. Only then did the young lawyer for he was that as well as private secretary withdraw with short and grudged apologies.

I didn't care when they set the insurance company on me, but this is different.
"Henry Passloe Schofield," returned the lady, "I don't know what IS to be done with that boy; I do NOT!" "You mean Penrod?" "Who else could I mean?" She sat up, exasperated, to stare at him. "Henry Passloe Schofield, you've got to take this matter in your hands it's beyond me!" "Well, what has he "
On the 20th I was with General Schofield near the centre, and soon after noon heard heavy firing in front of Thomas's right, which lasted an hour or so, and then ceased.
This corps numbered at the time 17,288 infantry and 826 artillery; but General Palmer claimed to rank General Schofield in the date of commission as Major-General, and denied the latter's right to exercise command over him. General Palmer was a man of ability, but was not enterprising.
