Reception of Civil War Troops
Reception of Troops
On this subject it may not be out of place to notice the kindly treatment of ladies of Nashville, Tenn., extended to the wounded brigade in passing through that place after the battle of Chickamauga as described by Benjamin F. Taylor, the noble-hearted correspondent and eloquent writer, whose " War Pen Pictures" stand unequaled in the writings on the war.
"It is midnight, and the attendants are going throngh the train with coffee, graced with milk and sugar—think of that! Two fresh, white, crisp crackers apiece and a little taste of fruit. Did your hands prepare it, dear lady? I hope so, for the little balance in your favor set down in the ledger of God.
