Quick Thinking Cavalry Rescue at Stones River Bridge
A veteran recalls December 31, 1863 at Stone River when Union lines broke and fighting raged near Stewart's Creek. Isaac H. Miller, driving a two horse team, disarmed a Confederate cavalryman, struck him with a musket, then calmly drove away, saving his life as the bridge battle raged nearby. The piece also notes social items from Shel don and local travel to Orange City.
