visit from Memphis to Grenada.
We were detained at the guardhouse
waiting for passport for which we
had an order when richly dressed
lady came in and presented note
from the commanding officer to pass
her through the lines.
"She would have got through easy
enough, but as she was leaving the
station the band of her hoopslirt
broke and it fell to the ground. The
lady screamed and swooned dead
away. Fastened to the skirt were a
dozen pairs of fine cavalry boots,
which she was endeavoring to smug-
gle through to Confederate soldiers.
She was locked up and it was some
time before friends secured her re-
lease. My mother was 80 badly
frightened by the incident that she
gave up the visit to Grenada, for she,
too, had some contraband goods tied
