The Daily Dispatch: January 24, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Kentucky. (search)
From Kentucky. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camp Near Bowling Green, Ky., January 16, 1862. Please allow an old patron and a Virginian a small space in your little sheet, but now a member of the Fifty-sixth Virginia Regiment, many a mile from his native State and the place of his birth, battling for his country and liberty, "away down in Dixie," to drive back the rude invader from the soil of one of Virginia's daughters--Kentucky. Here we are at this place, after many a wearisome hour's travel and sleepless nights, ready and willing to lend our aid to drive them from our sacred land. Let what come that may, we, the Fifty-sixth, will at all times be ready and willing to face the music, and where the danger is greatest there will we be found battling like soldiers and men. Should we have a fight, as some seem to expect, you may expect to have a good report of the Fifty-sixth. We are now attached to Floyd's brigade, and you know that he is a host within himself
