Close Call of a Confederate Major in Kilpatrick Raid
A Confederate Major recounts his escape during Kilpatrick's raid near Jonesboro and the old mill. He describes surrender moments, a daring flight through gates, a tree hideout, and a subsequent reunion with Confederate cavalry amid skirmishes near Peachtree Creek and Atlanta. The tale preserves wartime grit and personal courage without graphic detail.
