The Spark

Scroll near the middle (or search for "grayson") for the eyewitness account of Priv. William Grayson of that fateful night of 4 Feb 1899.

This page contains the (short) full text of the famous entry in Gen. Gregorio del Pilar's diary. Scroll to the middle to find Richard Henry Little's tribute to del Pilar. Nearer the bottom of the page (in the comments section) you can see a quote from Adjutant Telesoforo Carrasco's eyewitness account of what happened after del Pilar's death.
