Soldiers at the Ol Home Stead in the Spring 1865
A fragment from a Civil War era reminiscence recounts Gen Stoneman's 1865 northern to western march through Tennessee and North Carolina. It describes troops at Newton, a freed Black man guiding them, a Confederate family man on the porch alert to danger, and a retreat into plum orchards as Union soldiers pursued. The piece also notes local praise for Judge Councill and Mr Yount forming a law partnership in Hickory with respects to their legal prowess.
