Ninth Regiment Cavalry
Falling asleep, was aroused by one of the men. Started on to the command. When I reached the point on the Bardstown road where I had expected the 2d brigade to encamp, was halted by a party of cavalry. Supposing them to be our own pickets, I rode up promptly to correct them for standing in full view of any one approaching, when lo! to my mortification I found myself a prisoner. How I hated it no one can understand. The first thought, after my wife and children, was my line march Fannie Johnson,' named after a pretty little cousin of Richmond, Va, I said, 'poor Fannie, who will treat you as kindly as I have.' I turned her over to the captain and begged him to take care of her, which he promised to do."
