ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Boyd, of the Louis

"while Gen Sherman with the ruthless hand Of
war; destroying whole States of the South his standing
request was filed with the commander of this district,
not to destroy the Seminary

deserved some credit for this request but upon being

left destitute of the bare necessires of life, and his
line of march was marked by smouldering ruins, beg
