11/55 Rev.C.D.Elliott was our Brigade Chaplain all through the war, and Dr.C.T.Quintard the Chaplain of the First Tennessee Regiment-- two of the best men who ever lived. (Quintard is the present Bishop of Tennessee). At every town and station citizens and ladies were waving their handkerchiefs and hurrahing for Jeff Davis and the Southern Confederacy. Magnificent banquets were prepared for us all along the entire route. It was one magnificent festival from one end of the line to the other. |
