It was a hot dry Nevada Territory morning in the summer of 1864, and the day couldn't seem to get worse for Captain Wilson Carter. After a little skirmish in the New Mexico Territory, his company of 95 men suffered a loss of 44 men. " I swear Thomas," the distraught captain told his fellow corporal, " the world seems to hate me everyday." The optimistic corporal replied, "Hey, Captain, it wasn't your fault, if we hadn't run into those Indians, those rebels wouldn't have found us." "I guess you're right," the captain said trying to make a smile.

As they reached their camp, each soldier started taking down the tents of their fallen comrades. This sight depressed the captain very much, he hated to see his men die. He kept muttering to himself as he reached his own tent, where he met his best friend and fellow comrade Lt. Kingsman. " Why hello Captain, I made coffee," the Corporal said. The Captain just made a weak smile. "Look, Captain, you can't just be tanning your hide over that, it was just a coincidence.," the corporal was interrupted by a now enraged Carter, "Well that coincidence just caused 44 lives Lieutenant! Not to mention valuable supplies!." The Lieutenant was shocked at the Captains sudden explosion. " I'm sorry.., I just haven't been myself today," the captain murmured, "I just feel like I'm hated, the only bad things happen to me, when have you heard a Captain lose nearly 50 men in Nevada?" "Or when have you been waiting for a higher ranking for 3 years?" Lt. Kingsman replied, "Well no... but you got men that obey you. That's sometin' right?" "They do it out of obligation Lieutenant, they obey 'cause they have to. And if you'll excuse me, I'll be leavin'." As soon as the Captain headed for the door, Thomas stepped in with a letter.
