For Generations to come - Book 8 The Chunky story - part 1 Ronnie Lee

For Generations to come tells six different soldier's story. The Knauss family fought for the Union but there were other soldier's stories, the Confederate soldier's story, the doctor's story, the pastor's story, the women's story, and the black story. This American story also tells the Native American's story. Book 8 The Chunky story - part 1 - 1800's another Civil War soldier's storyChunky had his plans all made up before he enlisted with David. He wanted to become a doctor, and the war could be his steppingstone right into medical school. When he was not practicing or playing in the company band, he volunteered to work in the hospital. His giant statue in size and character was a blessing to all he worked with. His handle-bar-moustache was always supported by his big broad smile. Somehow, he was able to find some good everywhere. He gave exceptional care to the wounded men. Chunky had earned the doctors' trust and respect through the many hours he had worked directly together with them. There were 24 men of Company D wounded and 7 killed. Chunky was acquainted with all but two of them. War does not take all the victims with a gun. Hunger, disease, lack of clean drinking water, and infections kill more soldiers than bullets. Chunky was one of the men who foraged for corn at the time when men and animals were destitute of food at the encampment of Stafford Court House.
