Sketch by Drake, J. Madison (James Madison), 1837-1913 United States. Army. New Jersey Infantry Regiment, 9th (1861-1865)
Description
"On his left arm was suspended a large basket, which, on examination, we found contained an immense pone, as all Southerners denominate loaves of bread. The old man was naturally surprised whenwe relieved him of that bread, and tearing it in pieces, began to devour it in a ravenous manner. When informed that we were Yankee army officers escaping from Charleston, the aged midnight stroller indulged in saltation exercises that would have been creditable to our modern athletes, giving vent to the great joy he felt by religious exclamations, which constantly es-caped him. - Drake J. Madison
