July 27th, 1861 – Letter from R. J. C. ... - Tennessee in the Civil War

Bristol, Sullivan County, Tennessee

July 27th, 1861.

Dear Wife and Children-

I again embrace the pleasure of writing to you & as Ink is scares amongst us, you will pardon me for making this impression with pencil.

I can inform you, that I am in excellent health, as well as the other boys from your neighborhood.

We left Camp Trousdale on Sunday the 21st. Inst. and arrived her on Thursday the 25, making 4 days and nights travel by Railroad, passing through Nash- ville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Greenville, Jonesboro, and other places of minor importance.

Crossing the Tennessee and other smaller Rivers on Bridges, passing the Cum- berland Mountains through a gap and tunnel and running under the Frowning brow of the Iron Mountains hundreds of Miles amid the most delightful and Majestic like Cenery, the Eye of Man ever beheld, in spring the beholder with a deep reverence for the Infinite wisdom of him that made us and everything. Could it have been that our thoughts had not occasionally strayed from the cen- ery around us and found a resting place, The Hearth at Home, where our wives and Children, with their sweet and lovely Faces, and the many items of Interest that bound us to them.

Had it not been for a thought of the Blood, Death, and carnage before us, of which I will write on another page, the trip would have been delightful.

No accident of a serious nature occurred until we were leaving Knoxville, when one of our Company, a son of Joseph Law, by the name of Don. F. in attempting to jump the Train, fell under the Train, cutting his leg smooth into, just below the left knee. We carried him into the warehouse where the Seargant cut it off again just above the knee. I carried his foot and leg in my hand from the Railroad to the Warehouse with a shoe and a sock and a part of the Breeches leg on it-We left him there and his brother to wait on him, but learned this Morning that he has since died.

We are within a half mile of the Virginia line, connecting with Washington County sick, in that State, where the State line crosses the Railroad-There is two Flagpoles, one in Virginia, and one on the Tennessee line, and since the decision of Tennessee the two Flags have been tied together.
