Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1884-06-28

The American of the 10th con-
tains very interesting account ola
visit by reporter of that paper
to DIR. J. Berrien Lindsey, at his
home in Nashville. The reporter
details in a pleasant manner the
great labor and exhaustive energy
which DIR. Lindsey has applied to
compiling his forthcoming book,
"The Military Annals of Tennes-
see." Speaking of the book as it will
appear when it has been completed
he says:
Among the more noted writers
we may mention j. M. Heating, of
the Memphis Appeal Lieut.. Gen.
A. Z. Stewart, VINO furnishes elabor-
ateintrOductOrya articles !; also Judge
Frank Il. Reid, Rev. DIR. ID. G.
Kelly, Prof. s. g. Marshall, Prof.

s. Wilkes, Col. Luke w. Finlay,

w. Gordon, G. III. Baskette, Col.
c.. W.. Heiskell, DIR. Deering, j.
Roberts, Maj. G. W. Frazer, Col.
John NJ. Taylor, b. F. Haller,
Polk G. Johnson, c. w. Tyler, Ben.
J. Lea, J. G. Rose, G.. G. Dibrell,
j. w. Morton, w. NJ. Bradford, A.
III. Rradford, j. Harvey Mathes,
A. Fulkerson, Thomas III. Paine,
Austin Peay, J. r. Neal, w. l..
Eakin, j. N. Aiken, w. l.. Scott,
Nathaniel Baxter, Jr, and Rev.
DIR. B. G.. Manard, who furnish his
tOricai memoranda of the commands
in which they served. We regret
that our space does not allow the
naming of all those whose careful
work we observed in DIR. LindSley'S
study. AS each regimental histo-
rian was compelled to issue circulars
or enter into a wide correspondence,
it is within the mark to assert that
this portion of the volume has been
COTTON up by at least one thousand
eo-wOrkers. -H EEAUW
4 The sketches above mentioned
make an interesting volume for
reading. Interviewer and append
ell comes what to many will be the
most valued and touching portion
of the book. Through the courtesy
of the Honorable Secretary of War,
the editor has been allowed the
privilege OF employing an expert
clerk who has gone over the z, 500
muster rolls of Tennessee Confeder-
ate commands now preserved in the
War Department. The name of
every person who was killed or
died in the service, as recorded in
these rolls, will appear in Its proper
place in the volume. This splen.
did memorial roll touches every
family in TenneSSee.@Eor the first
time the patriot martyrs, who were
buried without collins and in I'M
marked trenches, will have their
names placed in living letters be-
fore their families, friends and COM
rades. Had the editor given the
Tennessee public nothing but these
significant extracts from the SPLEEN
did collection of Confederate Rec
orls preserved with sacred and un-
paralelled care by the victorious
Government, in which is perhaps
the grandest building upon the con-
tinent, his volume should be eager
ly placed in every household within
the limits OF the State.
In addition to the feature mon
toned, DR.. LindsIey's work posses
ses the rare quality of being prOfuse-
ly illustrated with engravings of
nearly all the officers in the Con-
federate army vino were born in
Tennessee, and there are goOdly
number of them. E-.
The publication of this work is
eagerly looked forward to by almost
every Tenncsseean old enough to
read and il is Il truthful statement to
make when it is said that there are
very few people in the Stale who
are not in some way represented and
interested in its publication.
