latter was So pleased with their favor that Col.

On one OF his visits to Kentucky few wears ago
Gen. Alger saw much of the famous blue. .pras,

impressed with its beauty its rolling Topography
and its splendid limestone water
When the reports began TO appear to the effect
that Chickamauga Park was an unhealthy place.
and that the volunteers would have to be removed
to other points, Col. Barnes sent Gen Alger a re-
quest that he send a division TO the blue. e.gras,
region Of Kentucky. and that they be camped
near Lexington Remembering the good beaten
biscuit and the pretty bluegrass land Gen. Alger
was favorably impressed with the idea Of send

produced. and the land that had adopted thr
Canton man, Sam ]. Roberts, was good enough
to send the soldiers to. and hence the Secretary
