Midnight on the Battlefield. "It was Mother Bickerdyke with a lantern still groping among the dead. Stooping down and and turning their cold faces toward her, she scrutinized them searchingly , uneasy lest some might be left to die uncared for. She could not rest while she thought any were overlooked who were yet living."
