"The next man I saw shot was Captain Lewis. He was hit with a spent ball, square in the forehead, but high up and with sufficient force for the ball to stick. 

He picked it out and called my attention to it. I told him if the wound was painful, he had better retire. But, he replied, "No, not for that." Very soon he received a shot in the hand. The two was enough for him and he retired.

I afterwards told him that in our association, I had hoped to convert him to Campbellism (a religious doctrine), but since Yankee bullets could not penetrate his head, there was no use in trying Campbellite argument, and I should have to give up. He is a Methodist to this day."
