The book "A GOOD STORY"

Where I was And What I saw During the Late War

By Elihu C. Bechkam, Sergeant Co. “K”, 21st Ark.

I left the home of my father, Joshua M. Beckham, (then in Izard, now in Stone County, Ark.) on October 27, 1861, in company with Felix O. Pittman, James S. Nelson and Whitmon Whitfield. We were boys together, all born in 1840. Nelson died at Jacksonport, Ark., from a relapse of measles in March, 1862 and was buried there, where his remains still sleep. Whitfield died in Alabama from a wound in the thigh, which he received in the battle of Bakers Creek, Miss., on May 16, 1863. Pittman lives in Izard County, near Melbourne. There was also an old man with us by the name of Walter H. Clark.

Has a story written by Elihu C Beckham tells as story of the civil war were Felix Pitman and Elihu joined the Civil war together. This book can be found on the internet and libraries.
