CHAPTER VII
The almost universal time-killer was cards. Of course various games were played, but "poker" was king.

At the battle of Chancellorsville I saw a game in full blast right under fire of the rebel shells. Every screeching shell was greeted with an imprecation, while the game went on just the same.
