38 THE LONE STAR DEFENDERS
Take it, and if I am killed to-morrow please send
it to my mother." Another said: Barron, here
is a gold ring. Please take care of it, and if I am
killed to-morrow I want you to send it to my sister."
Another one said: "Barron, if I am killed
to-morrow I want you to send this back to my
father." At last it became funny to me that each
seemed to believe in the probability of his being killed
the next day, and were making nuncupative wills,
naming me as executor in every case, without seeming
to think of the possibility of my being killed.
During the remainder of our four years' service,
with all the fighting we had to do, I never again witnessed
similar preparations for battle.
