George: Incidents in the life of George W. Kimaball

In October '64 he was given a pass to go to Washington to visit his brother Israel.
In a letter to mother from Ft.McHenry dated October 4, he speaks about a call on the
President as follows: 'I saw President Lincoln and stood beside him for five minutes.
He is a noble looking man. His picture does not do him justice.'

In August 1864 four Confederate Spies were brought to Ft. McHenry to be executed and a gallow was ordered for that purpose. George Kimball had it made in readiness for its grim work. The old saying 'there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip' was however exemplified in this instance as he wrote home unde date of August 28. 1864 (Fort McHenry),
'We expected to see those men hung this morning but we got dissapointed in it as their reprieve came last night but I did my duty. I had the machine all ready for them and was dissapointed in not seeing how it worked. I guess there never was a job that was watched more closely than the building of this gallows or that caused more talk, but it works like a charm.
I had the ropes all up and we supposed that they would be hung but the President has seen fit to have their sentence changed to imprisonment.
I think he shows too much leniency for I think if anyone whould be hung it is a spy!'

George's comment on this episode is rather remarkable as he was not only a devout Christian but one of the kindest hearted of men. It reflects the feeling of the norther soldier at that most critical time when the Union cause was rather dubious.
