- The most famous "Death letter" of the Civil War, the reading of this abridged
version was the most moving segment of Ken Burns' Civil War mini series. It was
never mailed to his wife, but the writing of these letters in advance of battle
was fairly common, just in case. Such eloquence was not.

Ballou and 93 of his men were mortally wounded at Bull Run. In an attempt to
better direct his men, Ballou took a horse mounted position in front of his
regiment, when a 6-pounder solid shot from Confederate artillery tore off his
right leg and simultaneously killed his horse. The badly injured Major was then
carried off the field and the remainder of his leg was amputated. Ballou died
from his wound a week after that Union defeat and was buried in the yard of
nearby Sudley Church. After the battle the territory was occupied by Confederate
forces. According to witness testimony, it was at this time that Ballou's corpse
was exhumed, decapitated, and desecrated by Confederate soldiers possibly
belonging to the 21st Georgia regiment. Ballou's body was never recovered. In
place of his body, charred ash and bone believed to be his remains were reburied
in Swan Point Cemetary, Providence, Rhode Island. His wife, Sarah, never
remarried. She later moved to New Jersey to live out her life with a son,
William. She died in 1917 and is buried next to her husband.
