I. Across Sherman's track (December 19-24, 1864)
Explanatory note.-At the time of this narrative, the writer's eldest sister, Mrs. Troup Butler, was living alone with her two little children on a plantation in Southwest Georgia, between Albany and Thomasville.
Besides our father, who was sixty-two when the war began, and a little brother who was only twelve when it closed, we had no male relations out of the army, and she lived there with no other protector, for a good part of the time, t eceiving callers and answering inquiries about Mett that I didn't have time to find out how tired and sleepy I was till I went to bed.

Henry Reaney, Acting Master, U. S. N.
The Zouave was a tug-boat built in Albany, N. Y., for service on the Hudson River, of great power and speed for that class of vessel.
On her purchase by the Government, she was delivered at Hampton Roads by her original owners to Admiral Goldsborough, at that time in command of the North Atlantic Squadron.
The engineers and firemen who brought her from Albany entered the naval service, both the former beAlbany entered the naval service, both the former being appointed acting second-assistant engineers, and the latter first-class firemen.
I was ordered to her February 1st, 1862, and took with me from the store-ship William Badger, of which I was executive, ten men, who, with the pilot, H. J. Phillips, who had been previously ordered, comprised the crew.
She had for armament a 30-pounder Parrott rifle forward and a 24-pounder howitzer aft. We were ready for service early in February and were assigned to picket duty in the James River, which emp
