Rebel Partisans Face Captivity After Dolly Peyton’s Plea
A Tennessee Confederate partisan band led by Carroll Bates raids and disrupts Union supply lines. Captured near Colonel Payton’s home, Bates and 29 others face execution orders. Dolly Peyton pleads for clemency, invoking battlefield loyalties. Captain Coleman seeks instructions as Dolly’s appeal reaches Confederate authority. The response spares some men, while others are paroled. The episode ends with Bates’s band dissolving amid mixed fates.
