What course of reasoning justifies the placing of this picture in our hall to the memory of the Southern dead in general, and excludes from the same hall tablets commemorative of that part of the Southern dead for which we ought to have the most regard, our own graduates...

They waited until the British got unpleasantly near, when Putnam and his men, concluding that "discretion was the better part of valor," rode away. To the right of the meeting-house are the stone steps down which Putnam rode. To the left is the road along which the British dragged their cannon after firing a random shot at the retreating hero. This ball, I was informed, fell on the road...
