A cannon- ball had torn his leg, but he was very bright and game. He and I often talked of the fine times we would have at the Virginia Springs in the coming summer. Poor fellow! He neversaw them again. Two or three weeks later blood poison set in, and he died soon after being taken to Jalapa. His history was a sorrowful one. The only son of Armstead Mason, who fell in a duel with his kinsman,Colonel McCarthy Stevens, Mason inherited his father's fine estate of Selma, in Loudon County, where he lived extravagantly. A few yearsbefore his death he married; his wife died within a year, and after that all went ill with Mason. When his property was all gone, he procured a captaincy in the Rifles, and died bravely, a representative gentleman of the old times. end excerpt www.ibiblio.org Recollections of a Virginian in the Mexican, Indian, and Civil Wars_ 1894 by General Dabney Herndon Maury - USA Minister to Colombia, S.A.; Founder of the Southern Historical Society edited, republished & (c) July 4, 1993 by Wm.
