The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-06-25


Who have forever clung,
With a love that will not die,
TO the memories of our past"
1t was this "story of the glory of
the men who wore the gray'-the
love for the old flag that fell at APP
pOmattoX-the fond remembrances
of scenes of by-gone days-and the
desire to mix and mingle with their
comrades and recall the exciting
events of that memorable struggle
of the South for her rights, that
made Nashville the Mecca for
thousands of battle-scarred veterans
of the Confederate Army of Ameri-
ca, this week.
The old soldiers-mnre than 10000
strong-completely captured Nash
vile. From every quarter of the
Union, and from the Southern
States particularly, they answered
to the bugle's call, and with one ac-
cord marched upon Tennessee's fair
capital. But there was an absence
of muskets and cannon and muni-
tions of war; the rebel yell' was
not so lusty as it was in the days of
yore, and the firm, sOldierly tread,
which once answered to the soul
inspiring tunes of the Southern
army, was gone. A general good
feeling of brotherly love prevailed,
and the old soldiers-sOme of them
decrepit with age and battle wounds
marched into the city, formed into
camp, shook hands with comrades
whom they had not seen since the
war-and probably will not see
again until the last grand reunion
"acIoss the river"-had good time
as only veterans can, and then re-
turned to their firesides, to live over
and over again the scenes of the
day.
Maury County did her part to-
ward the reunion, and did it well.
In the way of provisions she sent a
large supply of flour, hams, sheep,
and every other kind of eatables
suitable for the occasion. And
then, when it came to her old sol
diers attending, she sent a small
sized army.
The scenes at the depot in Colum-
bia Monday and Tuesday, while the
trains of soldiers were passing
through, were inspiring and inn
pressive, and gave one an idea of
the reunion scenes in Nashville.
Many old "vets" met each other
for the first time since they had
fought together in battle array, and
Il good, old-time love-feast was held
Following is list of the eX-Con'
federates in Maury County who
registered their names at the office
of the Secretary of the Bivouac in
Columbia, preparatory to their start
to the reunion. There are many
others who attended, but complete
list of these would be impossible.
