APPENDIX: NOTE I: Page 139.
A comparison of the date of Gen. Zolicoffer’s letter from Campbell
County to Col. Wood, announcing his purpose immediately to disarm the
Union population, with the date of the following advertisement in
the _Memphis Appeal_ by two Confederate officers, written from the
same county, seriously weakens the plea given in the advertisement
for the barbarous use of so many dogs against that population. For
disarmed Union men could scarcely carry on an irregular warfare that
would require or justify the employment to their damage of sanguinary
beasts.
“BLOODHOUNDS WANTED.”
“We, the undersigned, will pay five dollars per pair for fifty
pairs of well-bred hounds, and fifty dollars for one pair of
thorough-bred bloodhounds that will take the track of a man. The
purpose for which these dogs are wanted is to chase the infernal,
cowardly Lincoln bushwhackers of East Tennessee and Kentucky,
(who have taken advantage of the bush to kill and cripple many
good soldiers,) to their haunts and capture them. The said hounds
must be delivered at Captain Hammer’s livery stable by the 10th
of December next, where a mustering officer will be present to
muster and inspect them.”

APPENDIX: NOTE J: Page 151.
In proof that the hanging of young Harmon before his father’s eyes,
while the latter awaited death by the same method, was not, as a
grave judicial procedure, without censorious comment at the time,
are these satirical lines by one who was more of a wag than a poet.
Necessarily, they had a very limited circulation in _M. S._ among
friends.
