but, at the risk OF being considered
odd" I will venture the statement
that the finest deeds OF daring were not
those exhibited on great battle fields,
aud, because OF this, many OF them will
pass away unrecorded. For instance.
there is the case OF Sergeant James
Owens, Of the First Kentucky, which /
think the most thrillingly daring Incl
dent OF the war, and ] am glad OF the
opportunity TO keep 1t from sinking
into oblivion.
In November, 1863, two divisions OF
the Ninth corps were besieged 10 Knox
vile, East Tennessee, by General Long
street. was in the besIeged city at
the time with a company of dismouDted
cavalry. The weather was bitterly
cold, rations were reduced and nncer-
tain, and there was pretty general
feeling that il relief did not soon reach
US from Chattanooga, that we would be
starved into a surrender.
II will be remembered that immedi-
ately after the battle OF Missionary
Ridge, General Sherman was ordered 70
march north with all speed ana relieve
Burnside, and IL was all-important that
Burnside should know that relief was
coming. After much searching a man
was found, who knew the country as
well as If ne had built IL, and VINO was
ready 10 carry the news OF coming help
10 the beleaguered garrison.
A brave heart. good horse, and fne
roads were desirable, but the first OF
these was the only necessity sergeant
James Owens Of the first Kentucky had.
All the horses were reduced to skee-
tons and the roads were frlghtful. In
addition to these drawbacks, the scout
must travel In disguise, for 70 venture
outside the UnioL lines 10 the regular
uniform would have been a sort Of sui
eide. Owens must 20 as a Confed crate.
He was as intelligent as he was brave,
and so he knew that this was an under

yet, for the good OF the cause. he vol
unteersd promptly, as soOa as be learn
ed what was needed.
