Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 23. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The last battle of the late war. [from the times-democrat, September 8, 1895.] (search)
re of herself was observed. Colonel La Grange was informed, and learned that the bodies of the gallant Tyler and Gonzales were in the house. He said: Were it not for the honored dead that lie in the house I would teach the female sharpshooters a lesson. The order to burn the house was rescinded. West Point, Ga., is midway between Montgomery and Atlanta, 165 miles; there was a difference in the gauge of the track of five inches. The telegraph lines were cut before the surrender of General Lee, leaving us without the means of communication with the outside world. It is with regret that I cannot recall the names of the six Louisiana boys who assisted in throwing the planks from the bridge into the river. Their timely aid was thoroughly appreciated. The heroic defense of West Point, Ga., April 16, 1865, cannot be forgotten, and will rank with the hardest contests of the war of 1861-1865. S. F. Power. Natchez, Miss. [From the Charlotte, N. C., Observer, October 6, 13, 1895 ]

[A paragraph in the preceding very interesting account, to which attention is called, is corrected in the issue of the New Orleans Picayune of December i, 1895, as follows.—Ed.] The publication of the picture and story of Barney McDermott, the stalwart veteran in the employ of the charity hospital, had an interesting sequel. Daniel O'C. Murphy is another Mississippi veteran, who has been living in New Orleans for many years. During the war he and McDermott were camp cronies, but they had not seen each other for thirty years and did not know that they were so near each other until Mr. Murphy read the interview in the Picayune. He lost no time i

Fort Hamby on the Yadkin. [from the daily Charlotte Observer, Nov 17, 1895.] A bit of half-forgotten history. The story of a House which deserters from Stoneman's army occupied and fortified, and from which they sallied forth and Ravaged the surrounding Country—four lives lost in the effort to dislodge Them—the House finally fired and four of the desperadoes caught and Shot— the leader, however, unfortunately Escapes—a thrilling Recital. Professor R. L. Flowers, of Trinity College, read before the last meeting of the Historical Society of that Institution a paper on Fort Hamby—a piece of North Carolina post war history. A native of one of the counties scourged by the miscreants who made the name of Fort Hamby a terror in all the surrounding country, Professor Flowers is well qualified to write its history, and the Observer thanks him for his cheerful compliance with its request to furnish it for publication a copy of his paper. The story it tells so well is one o
