The Daily Dispatch: June 24, 1863., [Electronic resource], Yankee conduct of the War. (search)
ttacked Strawberry Plains, seventeen miles east of Knoxville, at 5 P. M. After a brisk fire of half an hour, our troops surrendered to superior numbers, and the enemy paroled 130 prisoners. The enemy burnt the bridge over the Hoiston, the depot., and several private dwellings, rifling several others. Then they proceeded to New Market, eight miles east of Strawberry Plains, and on Sunday to Mossy Creek, four miles farther, where they burned the bridge, tore up the railroad track, and cut the telegraph wire and poles. On Monday, between Mossy Creek and Morristown, 42 miles east of Knoxville, they were confronted, in front and rear, by the commands of Gens. Jackson and Pegram, and Col. Scott. It is rumored and believed that we took all their artillery, and dispersed their whole force — our cavalry pursuing and capturing prisoners. In the fight of Saturday our loss was six killed and nine wounded; the Yankees twenty one killed and wounded. No injury to property here.
