Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 1. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 320 (search)
General Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky, writes to a friend in Cincinnati, under date of April 27, as follows:-- We could not control the Governor and his coconspirators, but we appealed to the people, and on next Saturday we expect to elect John J. Crittenden, James Guthrie, and others, to a brotherly peace conference--by a majority unparalleled heretofore in Kentucky. I shall not be surprised at fifty thousand. The destructionists, anticipating their fate, have recently resolved to abis Kentucky to be rewarded now by having her soil invaded by the sons whose mothers we protected? Is my house to be fired, over the heads of my children and grandchildren, by the children of those for whose sake I staked my life, and suffered innumerable hardships in 1812-13? The answer is with Ohio. We have resisted official coercion in Kentucky; let no power on earth tempt or drive you to bloody outrage now. Very truly your old friend, Leslie Coombs. --N. Y. Evening Post, May 7.
