CHAPTER V.
KENTUCKY WE GO INTO KENTUCKY After being thoroughly reorganized at Tupelo, and the troops had recovered their health and spirits, we made an advance into Kentucky.
We took the cars at Tupelo and went to Mobile, from thence across Mobile Bay to Montgomery, Alabama, then to Atlanta, from there to Chattanooga, and then over the mountains afoot to the blue-grass regions of Kentucky-- the dark and bloody ground.

Please remember, patient reader, that I write entirely from memory.

I have no data or diary or anything to go by, and memory is a peculiar faculty.

I find that I cannot remember towns and battles, and remember only the little things.

I remember how gladly the citizens of Kentucky received us.
