The Revolution in Sicily - Garibaldi cutting down the captain of the Neapolitan cavalry... 1860. Creator: Unknown
The Revolution in Sicily - Garibaldi cutting down the captain of the Neapolitan cavalry in the charge made by the latter near the bridge of Melazzo - from a sketch by our special artist, 1860. Garibaldi had only time to step aside when the horsemen passed, sabring right and left. But they did not go far, for after the first panic the infantry recovered and soon emptied the greater part of their saddles. The Captain, a sergeant, and a private tried to make their escape, and would have succeeded but for Garibaldi's personal bravery. He went into the middle of the road, and, having left his revolvers in the holsters when he dismounted, he drew his sword, and placed himself in a position to stop the Captain. The only person with him at the time was Captain Missori, of the Guides, who was likewise on foot, but armed with a revolver. His first shot, wounding the horse of the Neapolitan Captain, brought it on its haunches; Garibaldi seized hold of the bridle, intending to secure the Captain as his prisoner. But the Captain answered to the demand to surrender by a blow with his sword at Garibaldi, who parried and retaliated, cutting the Neapolitan Captain with one stroke down the face and neck, and prostrating him dead at his feet'.
