Fourth Cavalry
At Smith's cross-roads a great many Union people greeted us from every side, thronging around us from the mountain and valley, much overjoyed at seeing a ' Yankee,' something new to many of them. Some of these people had suffered terribly, lying away from their homes in the caverns of the mountains. No wonder they were overjoyed at the sight of friends with strong arms to protect them in their manifestations of loyalty." " On the 27th. the stars and stripes were hoisted in front of Colonel Minty's quarters. Enthusiastic and patriotic speeches were made to a large gathering by Captain Vale, 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry, and Captain Bobbins and Lieutenant Griffin, 4th Michigan.
