this region that he started to move over the
mountains into East Tennessee after the
capture of Morgan
The forward march began Aug. l6, from
Richmond, Ky. Burnside had 10000 men,
The Ninth corps had not yet returned t. him
from Viclisburg.
1t was intended that Burnside, from East
Tennessee, should cooperate with Rosecrans
in South Tennessee. When ROsecrans adj
vanced from Winchester to follow the re-
treating army of Bragg, Burnside moved
toward Knoxville.
Cumberland Gap, the passage way from
Kentucky to East Tennessee, was held by a
Confederate force under Gen. Frazier This
force, single brigade, belonged TO Buckner's
command Gen. Bucliner himself was in
Knoxville when Burnside set out on his
march over the mountains.
The people of East Tennessee had long
been looking and hoping for the United
States government to relieve them. The
news of Burnsides coming was therefore
welcomed with gladness.
The march over the mountains was scarcely
less difficult and painful than the one Rose
Grams army was making at the Same time

hetH wagon lIdlllS were 10 DE dragged up
the mountains and down again upon the OPP
posite side When the mules were broken
down, the soldiers themselves i'll long lines
laid hold of the artillery carriages and drew
them up the mountain Sleeps
The march was a remarkable one. both be-
cause Of the difficulties of the route and the
rapidity with which it was accomplished.
Burnsides army Travelled 259 miles in four
teen days, much of tho way over rugged
heights and broken mountain roads. By the
last days of August tho army descended the
mountain and appeared in East Tennessee.
At news Of their approach Buckner cvacu-
ated Knoxville and made all haste south
with his command. He was ordered by
Bragg to occupy Loudon, Tenn
Burnside's army, il five columns, moving
by different routes, came together the first
part of September in East Tennessee. The
cavalry column moved through Wheeer's
Gap and proceeded to Knoxville. At that
place, Sent 3, Cren. Burnside established his
headquarters.

When they approached the hill and endeav-
ored TO charge up its height they stumbled
across the wire aud foil forward upon the
sharp points that pierced them like bayonets.
Thus they lay in confusion while the fire
from the fort poured in deadly rain upon
them. Hundreds of Longstreets assauting

Knoxville is situated on the north bank Of
the serpentine Holston. Loudon is in a di-
rect line southwest OF Knoxville, on the
south bank Of the Holston. The East Ten

Distinguished and able men in Tennessee,
besides Parson Brownlow, held themselves
loyal to- the Union at the risk of their lives.
Among these were Horace Maynard, Emer

Tennessee. afterwards president of the United

young manhood. In Greenvllc he worked
at his trade and married After his marriage
his wife taught him to write. His first po-
litical office was that of alderman in Green
vile in 1882. From one step to another he
rose till he became governor Of Tennessee and
United States senator He held the latter
office when the war began, but In 1856? he was
appointed by President Lincoln military gov
ernor of Tennessee.
