MARTYRDOM OF UNION PEOPLE.
Mr. N. G. Taylor undertook after the war ended, to collect materials
for its “Unwritten History” in East Tennessee, and they not only
confirmed but enlarged the knowledge he acquired in 1861-’2 and ’3
concerning the cruel treatment of Union people during those years.
His estimate of those unarmed, who were put to death in various
ways throughout that region, is founded upon diligent inquiries. In
writing to a friend, February 22, 1886, he says, “I was at some pains
to gather up from the different counties the facts on this point,
and the result showed an aggregate of 2,500 to 3,000 non-combatants
massacred for their Union sentiments. I had at that time a list of
those thus slaughtered in this (Carter) county, which aggregated 70
or 75; in Greene County over 200; in Washington County over 100, &c.,
&c.”
