When not the target of hostile fire, the Special Artist was frequently decommissioned by the many illnesses and hard ships of the field. "I was down with an attack of the billious remittent fever. Brought on by exposure to the damned cli mate in the cussed swamps," wrote Alfred Waud, who was more artistic than literary, to a friend back home in 1862. Waud's brother William, who came to the U.S. from England in the 1850s and became a Special for Leslie's, fared little better. Wrote Alfred about Will: "Three weeks ago he had a sunstroke...
