Legion of Third United States Artillery Drinking From Spring
A Chattanooga era item recounts Colonel Gates's detachment at Missionary Ridge accused of soldiers drinking whisky from a spring hidden by a whiskey jug quint. After repeated discipline failures, the sergeant reveals the ruse and the colonel watches as troops drink whiskey thinking it water, leading to arrests and punishment. The tale then shifts to a Nevada story about Mary Hymer seeking her father and Ole Hymer’s violent property dispute, plus a Missouri reaction to Liberia emigration and Yosemite pine variety efforts.
