Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 3. (ed. Frank Moore), Doc. 131. General Nelson's proclamation, on occupying Prestonburg, Kentucky. (search)

They left here about one o'clock P. M. of yesterday, feeling their way as they went, and examining their ground foot by foot as they advanced, and reached Prestonburg just before dark. The enemy had fled — leaving their flag floating over the Court House and their huts just as they had been before their flight. Metcalfe and his men advanced into the town, tore down the secession flag, ordered their suppers, obtained all the information possible, and returned to this place about twelve o'clock last night in triumph. Captain Wm. Oden, of Col. Metcalfe's regiment, was the man who tore down the flag, and he has it now in his possession. The enemy have retired up Big Sandy, how far or to what point we know not. Their number is between two and three thousand. In haste, your brother, Jas. P. Hendrick
