thought otherwise, at least when the horse was to a certain degree

yet untrained, and could not be pursuaded to ride him; indeed, for

more than a year after he was given to me, Campbell still retained

suspicions of his viciousness, though, along with this mistrust, an

undiminished affection. Although he was several times wounded, this

horse escaped death in action; and living to a ripe old age, died in

1878, attended to the last with all the care and surrounded with

every comfort due the faithful service he had rendered.
