Soldiers' Home Notes Defend Mountain Branch Bossing Claims
A Knoxville era letter defends the Mountain Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. It rebuts Col John Bell Brownlow’s views on Tennessee members, asserts TN inmates receive liberty and proper care, and argues the Home is governed by federal rules, not provincial favoritism. It insists there is no excess “bossing” and defends drill, taps, and formations as proper discipline.
