American Civil War
TWENTIETH REGIMENT INFANTRY
On the morning of November 14th General White, who occupied the heights opposite Loudon, fell back with his division to Lenoir, and his trains were on their way to Knoxville. General Burnside—'Old Burny'—whom we have followed ever since we have been soldiers—was telegraphed for. He came. Those of us who saw him that day will never forget how that engine came flying in, with the General's own hand at her throttle. 'Bight about, ' was the order, and in twenty minutes our columns were on the road facing the enemy and General White's own division in the advance.
