Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Cavalry Leaders Through the Ages With the Heroes of Sabre, Spur, and Saddle: With Faithful Accounts of Their Forced Marches, Dashing Raids, and Glorious Charges SO many inquiries have come to me regarding the truth of my statement to the effect that the lion-hearted Marshal N ey was not shot, that I regret a foot-note was not added, giving the authority for my conclu sion, at the time of the publication of the first edition of this work. The fact is fully proved in a volume entitled historic doubts AS TO the execution OF marshal ney, by the Reverend James A. Weston, Rector of the Church of the Ascension, Hickory, N. C. Major 33d N. C. Regiment, Confederate States Army; Honorary Member of the North Caro lina Historical Society, etc., etc. Published in 1895, by Thomas Whittaker, 2 and 3 Bible House, New York. This work is in most public libraries, but, I believe, is at present out of print. It gives convincing and accurate proof of the fallacy of the belief that Mar shal Ney was killed by the soldiers of France. I have submitted it to several members of the Bar and also to a number of Judges, among whom I would mention Judge William Allen Hayes, of Elmwood Avenue.
