Warner and Pennington?"

"Well, save for scratches, Ohio. They're about somewhere."

They shook hands again, hunted up the others, and celebrated their
escape from death.

Dick learned later that all the Woodvilles were still alive and that
Colonel Kenton, although wounded, was recovering fast. Slade, with
troublesome raids, soon gave evidence of his own continued existence.

Then, as they expected, reinforcements poured in. Grant came, and Dick
and his comrades took part in the fight at Missionary Ridge and the
battle "above the clouds" on Lookout Mountain. He witnessed great
triumphs and he had a share in them.

He saw Bragg's army broken up, and he rejoiced with the others when the
news came that Grant for his brilliant successes had been made commander
of all the armies of the Union, and would go east to match himself
against the mighty Lee. The Winchester regiment would go with him
and Dick, Warner, Pennington and Sergeant Whitley, who was entirely
recovered, talked of it gravely:

"We've been in the East before," said Pennington, "but we won't be under
any doubting general now."

"I fancy it will be the death grapple," said Warner.

"And the continent will shake with it," said Dick.

The three, as if by the same impulse, turned and faced the distant East,
where the shades were already gathering over the Wilderness.
