Joseph+Wheeler

//** JOESPH WHEELER **** by: Cesar, Cameron, Brandon, and Kendle Joseph Wheeler born in1836 died in1906. He was admitted to West Point in 1854, and he was assigned to Fort Craig in 1860. And best of all, he was promoted Major General on May 1, 1863, and he was only 26 years old! . . . He realy had the luck, right. My favorite part was: when Joe's soldiers guns were empty, the Yankees were shooting at Joe, so what was left of his army [ 50 soldiers ] took the bullets for him, what a great army to be in. FIFTY BOATS LEFT TAMPA Cuba in June of 1898, on their way to fight the spanish. For Joe it was a sorry way for the calvery to go to war.First of all, most of the horses had been left behind in Florida. Once they got there, the only way the few horses they had could reach land and jump into the water and swim to the shore. refrenses JOE WHEELER BYMARIE GRAHAM PEERSON [|WWW.arlingtoncemetery.net/jwheeler.htm] **//
