Not A Moment Too Soon

Indian Outlaw

A plaque honoring Samuel E. Eddy, a Chesterfield resident who received a Congressional Medal of Honor for heroics during the Civil War that included saving his commander’s life, was recently installed at the Chesterfield Gorge where Eddy lived. 


Verse 1
In the hills of western Mass,
Where the river winds below,
Lived a man named Samuel Eddy,
With a heart like forge-fire's glow.
When the call for Union thundered,
He was older, yet he stood,
Left his home in Chesterfield,
To fight for what was good.

Chorus
Hero of Chesterfield,
You held the line so true.
Hero of Chesterfield,
The light still shines for you.
Through smoke and pain you saved a friend,
And history sealed your name.
Hero of Chesterfield,
Your courage lit the flame.

Verse 2
At Petersburg the guns were loud,
He was struck but carried on.
At Sailor's Creek he rose again,
Before the break of dawn.
He saw his captain fall that day,
Stepped forward through the field,
He raised his arm, he took the shot,
And never thought to yield.

Chorus
Hero of Chesterfield,
You held the line so true.
Hero of Chesterfield,
The light still shines for you.
Through smoke and pain you saved a friend,
And history sealed your name.
Hero of Chesterfield,
Your courage lit the flame.

Bridge
Now the Gorge remembers you,
Where the forest meets the stone.
A plaque stands tall for all to see,
So you'll never walk alone.

Final Chorus
Hero of Chesterfield,
We sing your story still.
Hero of Chesterfield,
Your heart and iron will.
You gave your strength, your steadfast grace,
So others might be free.
Hero of Chesterfield,
Your light lives on in me.
