Chapter 17

The enemy was closing in on the regiment and Henry was sick with rage. He hated the enemy and wished that he had an engine of annihilating power. When the enemy was close Henry fought like a mad man. He fought very well with great courage. He even fell down once because he was so engrossed with the battle he lost his balance. When the enemy retreated he ran after them and stopped only because he was the only one who ran after the enemy. He continued shooting until Wilson stopped him because there were no more men to shoot at. The commander of the regiment then applauded Henry for fighting very hard and brave. He said that if he had a whole regiment like Henry they would win the war in a week. How did Henry go from running from battle to being the best fighter?
