A company of Union soldiers (124th OVI CoD) were in camp in the south, I believe it was in Georgia. It was terribly hot and dry, and hardly any available water near by. The men were near to dehydration; they were really suffering for lack of water. Finally someone proposed that they would form a circle and would pray for water. Furthermore, they vowed to keep on praying even if they died doing it. In fact, several did die. However, they kept on praying for quite some time, when suddenly a spring of water bubbled up in the center of the circle! How they rejoiced, and drank, and thanked GOD! A miracle! Pvt.
