early in the american civil war, confederate general ewell had one of his legs amputated and replaced by a wooden one, of which he became very proud. in 1863, at the battle of gettysburg, he was riding together with general john gordon when a body of union soldiers, posted behind some fences and buildings on the outskirts of the town, suddenly opened a brisk fire. a number of confederates were killed and wounded, and gordon heard the ominous thud of a minie ball as it struck ewell at his side. gordon quickly asked, "are you hurt, sir?" "no, no," ewell replied, "i am not hurt. but suppose the ball had struck you; we would have had the trouble of carrying you off the field, sir. you see how much better fixed for a fight i am than you are. it doesn't hurt a bit to be shot in a wooden leg."
