The Daily Dispatch: January 22, 1863., [Electronic resource], Hindman's address to his troops before the battle of Cane hill, Arkansas (search)
s to planter; if we whip the enemy, all he has will be ours; if not, the spoils will be of no benefit to us. Plunderers and stragglers will be put to death on the spot. File closers are especially charged with this duty. The cavalry in rear will likewise attend to it. Remember, that the enemy you engage has no feeling of mercy or kindness toward you. His ranks are made no of Pin Indians, free negroes. Southern Tories, Kansas Jayhawkers, and hired Dutch cut-throats. These bloody ruffians have invaded your country, stolen and destroyed your property, murdered your neighbors, outraged our women, driven your children from their homes, and defiled the graves of your kindred. If each man of you will do what I have urged upon you, we will utterly destroy them. We can do this; we must do it; our country will be reined if we fait. A just God will strengthen our arms and give us a glorious victory. T. C. Hindman, Major-General Commending. R. C. Newton, A. A. General.
