Maine First Cavalry Regimental History.

Private Charles H. Bell, Jr., of Co. D, received a similar wound. He and George P. Andrews, of the same company, were on the skirmish line together, and were seeking partial shelter behind a low ridge. They would flatten themselves upon the ground while loading their pieces, then raise themselves upon their knees, with side to the enemy, and fire over the crest of the ridge. While Private Bell was thus shooting, an unfortunate shot from the enemy struck him in the other end of his prone body, and inflicted a severe wound. His manly pride, however, was superior to the pain of the wound, and in tones of despair, clapping his hand upon the wound, he exclaimed: "Oh, George! just my luck, shot where I can never speak of it ! " 

Bell, Charles H., Jr., Age 19; res. Eastport; mus. Oct. 10, 1861, as private; orderly for Gen. Sturgess, '62; wound. at Shepardstown, July 16, 1863; re-enlisted. Feb. 1,18'64; promoted to corporal. March 1, 1864; wound. June 9, 1864; promoted to sergeant. 1864; mustered out. June 20, 1865.

Saloon Owners Of Leavenworth, Kansas, 1857-1867.

Two things comes to mind when we talk about the old west, Cowboys and the Saloons.  Most people think All the old west towns of Kansas had saloons this can be blamed on television shows and the movies.

In truth many Kansas towns had no saloons at all.  A small town may have one or two saloon. The larger Kansas town may have so many saloons that they almost out number the businesses of the town. Take Leavenworth Kansas, not to be confused with ( Fort Leavenworth ), in a span of ten years it had 52, saloons.

I have listed the 52 owners, in a lot of cases there are no first names just the last.  No names of the saloon is given.
