dismounted and unsaddled. In the photograph on the right-hand page two troops are already on foot. Note the officers in front of their troops. The photograph was evidently a long time exposure, as is shown by the progress of the covered wagon which has driven into the picture on the left-hand page. It was at the conclusion of this remarkable raid that Grierson reported that the Confederacy was a hollow shell. All of its population able to carry arms was on the line of defense. Captain John A. Wyeth, the veteran Confederate cavalryman who contributes to other pages of this volume, wrote when he saw these photographs: I knew General Grierson personally, and have always had the highest regard for his skill and courage as shown more particularly in this raid than in anything else that he did, although he was always doing well. How Grierson's raiders looked to the Confederate Secret service camera The military operations of the Union armies in the South and West were not

D., Ll.D., Late of Quirk's Scouts, Confederate States Army The prize of the Confederate raider: a Federal commissary Camp on the Tennessee Camp in the Tennessee mountains, 1863: a pleasant interlude for the western cavalryman. The soldiers leaning on their sabers by the mountain path would have smiled in grim amusement at the suggestion that a life like theirs in the merry greenwood must with a powerful navy would bring, as that country's first move, the cutting off of our saltpetre supply from South America and thus the crippling of our ability to manufacture powder. 7. the destruction of Rosecrans' great wagon train John Allan Wyeth, M. D., Ll.D., (late of Quirk's Scouts, Confederate States Army) The Confederate cavalry was an important factor in Bragg's defeat of Rosecrans' army at Chickamauga.

10. a ride through the Federal lines at night John Allan Wyeth, M. D., Ll.D., late C. S. A. The battle of Chickamauga was fought on the 19th and 20th of September, 1863. The incident I am about to narrate was associated with the movement, a week before this battle, to attack in detail the widely separated corps of the Federal army, which, crossing Lookout Mountain, had descended through three defiles from ten to twenty miles apart. Our division of cavalry (Martin's) was moved by a rapid, all-night march from near Lee and Gordon's Mills through Lafayette, Georgia, in the direction of Alpine.

We were the advance brigade, and I recall the fact that in the effort to get as much fun and frolic out of an uncomfortable situation as possible, a number of the best voices in the
