Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), The drummer-boy of the Rappahannock. (search)
eep on this way a few more years, you will be in my place. Robert is a native of New-York, but moved with his parents to Michigan when he was an infant. His father died ten or twelve years ago, leaving his mother in destitute circumstances, and with a family of four children to support and educate. About fifteen months ago, our drummer-boy went from Jackson (Michigan) to Detroit, with Captain C. V. Deland, in the capacity of waiter in the Ninth Michigan. With that regiment he went to Louisville, West-Point, Ky., and Elizabethtown, Ky.--at the last-named place he was appointed drummer-boy. Since that time he has been in six battles, as follows: Lebanon, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Shelbyville, McMinnsville, and Fredericksburgh. At the battle of Murfreesboro, where the Union forces were taken by surprise before daylight in the morning, after beating the long-roll, and pulling the fifer out of bed to assist him, he threw aside his drum, and seizing a gun, fired sixteen rounds at th
per porch through the boys' room window. When ma found they were in the house she locked her room door. As we sat quietly awaiting our fate, still hoping that God--in whose care ma had in the beginning placed us, kneeling with us in earnest prayer — would yet save us, we heard them dancing, whooping, breaking, and plundering away over the house. At last the robbers scattered, carrying away every thing they could. Oh! what a sight the house was! Every thing scattered in confusion; dresses, broken parasols, boxes, etc., in one incongruous mass. They stole all my jewelry — they broke all of sister Emilie's pictures. All of the silver was taken. Nan (servant) was very much distressed at their taking the blankets. Papa was arrested at the big gate, and not allowed to come to the house to tell us any thing about it. He and seven others were kept in an open tent, exposed to the chill of night and hot sun through the day, and were then carried off to Louisville. --Richmond Examine
Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), What was found in a prayer-book. (search)
What was found in a prayer-book. The following was found written on the fly-sheet of a prayerbook in one of the churches in Louisville: Hurrah for John Morgan! The Marion of the South, following his footsteps as much so as the Apostles followed the footsteps of Christ. There shall be a Southern Confederacy, so saith the Apostle Paul. See third verse, chapter fourth, Acts of the Apostles. Hurrah for Jeff Davis! and the Southern Confederacy!----the Lincoln hordes and Hessians; polluting the homes and lands of Southern men! Hurrah for Stonewall Jackson, the Deliverer of the Southern Soil, to our Southern Brethren. “P. P. Fields.
