Can you see?
My eyes are shining bright,
'Cause I'm out here, on the other side,
Of a jet black hotel mirror,
And I'm so weak.
Is it hard understanding?
I'm incomplete.
A love that's so demanding,
I get weak.

I can't believe somebody beat me to William "Bucky" O'Neil. He was the Sherrif of Yavapai County in Arizona when he volunteered as an officer in the RoughRiders. I grew up looking at the RoughRiders Memorial on the Court House Plaza in Prescott. We all commonly called it the statue of Bucky O'Neil.

Isn't that the General at Spotsylvania CH, VA who caught one in the grape?

Shot with a rare "bolt gun". Hexagonal rifling and hexagonal-shaped bullet. Incredibly slow reload time even for the era, but crazy accurate at long distances; comparable to a modern rifle, really. Only the Confederacy used them, and gave them to their best sharpshooters.

Sedgewick just happened to be standing right out in the open when a Confederate sniper had a round loaded, and just happened to say the most ironic thing before biting it.

And I believe he was shot in the chest, not the head.
