Vielleicht, sagte ich zu Downing, wird es uns danach freuen, sich sogar an die gegenwärtigen Dinge zu erinnern. Ja, wenn wir diesen schrecklichen Krieg überdauern und ihre Shorrors überleben. Aber es ist nicht viel Vergnügen in themnow. In kurzer Zeit kam Ave zu der Straße, die von unseren anfechten Entführer an der Mühle als gefährlich bezeichnet wurde.

. Tupelo . Albert Braddock, guerrillas, or partisanrangers, as Jeff Davis styled those who were engagedin hunting down Unionists, and capturing and re-turning to camp deserters.

But there is not much pleasure in themnow. In a short time Ave came to the road designated asdangerous by our would-be captors at the mill. Aswe reached it we saw in the distance ahead of us, on the road we were now traveling, a few stragglingcavalrymen. They saw us and halted, apparently toawait our overtaking them. We turned off on theroad which the Yankee cavalry were said to fre-quent ere we reached them. A boy whom we over-took informed us that Baxters rebel cavalry hadjust passed.
