A useful non-combatant.

While ‘Old Hines’ never did any fighting, he was useful; he was an inspiration and a perpetual joy to those who did. Everybody knew him-cavalry, infantry and artillery, all smiled when ‘Old Hines’ took up his position. As the fighting grew heavier and the bullets flew thicker, ‘Old Hines'’ spirits arose in proportion, he would ply his needle with greater industry and sing ‘Shoo, Fly’ with redoubled energy.

Richmond, VA. 1891.
