FORTY FIRST ONO VOLUNTEERS.
CAMP AT READYvLLE, Tenn
April 10Th, 1868.
EDIroR MISUNDERSTANDING that the
history Of Co. b, Of the 4lst o. v, might
prove interesting to you and the.readers
OF the JTersonion, who have friends in The
Company, ! have in my poor way, made
out a short description Of each man who
belonged to it. We are still on the bill,
in the rear OF The Brigade, doing garrison
duy. We occasionally SO down from our
high elevation, to go on train guard or a
scouting expedition. We went out 10
Woodbury. the Cd, and had pretty hard
march. We were gone from camp twelve
hours, and, during that time, marched
thirty three miles, and that over very
hilly country. We didn't have chance
TO fire single gun, but ace thought, we
did our share Of marching. Last night
we received orders to be ready 70 move at
m oments notice, but to-day all is quiet,
and no more prospect Of leaving this place
than two months ago. The Pay Master
is here, and the boys will soon rejoice with
four months pay Of "Green Backs."--
Then, II you could see US you would see a
jolly set Of boys. The boys are always
re"dy for fun or fight, and If they could
have chance at some of the Copperhe
North, would show that they had not been
in the service nearly twenty months for
nothing. They are al! down on Copper
heads, { / will not call them men, where
ever they are found. But perhaps am
spinning this Too far, so here goes for what
Co. b has Gone, and gone through.
We were in the Battle of Shiloh the 7th
OF April, where ono.half of the Company
that went into action were killed or
wounded, We were among the first that
entered Corinth were in number Of
skirmishes through Kentucky after Bragg;
in the Battle of Stones River, losing one.
third of the number engaged, 10 killed and
wounded; also in skirmish at Woodbury.;
but l will not tell any more OF what we
have done, for fear !hat you will think J
am trying to praise the Company. But ]
assure you 1t will do whatever it has to
do, the best it can.
