Old Blue the Georgia hound and Yankee prisoner tale

An Atlanta Constitution piece recounts the legendary Georgia hound Old Blue, famed for guiding a captured Yankee prisoner at Andersonville. The tale features Plunkett describing Blue’s keen sense, brave acts, loyalty to the prisoner, and the dog’s bond with both Yankee and Confederate guards. The notice closes with Mrs. Dahlgren’s winter residence in Washington and her Maryland landholdings, known locally as the "lady of the castle."

North and South union tale reshapes old rivalries

A lengthy anecdote from Col. Atlanta Constitution tells how a Northern General and a Southern General wed their children after years of wary acquaintances at a lake resort. The union produced four boys and two girls, with names honoring Confederate and Northern leaders, symbolizing cross‑section reconciliation. The piece, echoing broader Civil War tensions, ends praising cross‑section harmony over time.

Grant in 1857 a glimpse of a future Union general

General Averill recalls a 1857 encounter near Kirkwood with a young Ulysses S. Grant in civilian dress, noting he did not look like a future army officer. The tale contrasts Grant’s appearance with expectations and includes a second recollection of meeting Robert E. Lee at the War Department on April 16, 1861 as tensions rose before the Civil War. Oscar Peck, a powder boy at Farragut’s New Orleans siege, is identified as the shell-throwing hero now living in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with pensions totaling 4220 dollars recently awarded.
