morning of the 2Sth we were ordered tC

Gen. Nelson commanded the Union
forces. We clashed with Kirby Smith
three miles farther Kirby got the bulge
on US, and soon had us going north. Our
strength was about II 900, while the other
run we did some very rapid walking until
We were back in camp. Our regiment was
badly cut up.
We went to Indianapolis, filled up again,
and in November pulled out for Dixie,

When we got to the fence back OF John

noise getting over. and that aroused the
dogs. We rushed forward and surrounded
the house. The Captain and l knocked
at the front door, and voice from within

Geo D. Riley, Captain, Co. d. 10th XIV,
was a lawyer by profession; he was good
officer and good correspondent. After
the Missionary Ridge battle he wrote "a
fine description of the two days fighting
the first on the mountain and the second
on the ridge. and sent it to the Louisville
Journal The next issue of that paper
that came to our regiment contained his
letter, the headlines of which We're. The
Battle Above the Clouds" or Hooker
Above the Clouds" | do not now remember
which. Now. how did they get that head
ing, except from reading his description
of the fight? He did not originate that
heading; he simply wrote OF the battle as
he saw it. and The editor, without seeing the
fight, originated the title or headline simply
by reading Capt. Riley's description of it.
Capt. Riley wrote then what he saw and
after reading what he wrote the headline
came. l know that Riley saw it. for l was
near hiEl ana saw IL myself. AT first the
clouds shut out the view, but slowly these
clouds lowered, going down gradually
until the highest point of Lookout Mount
ain become visible. and yet they fell lower
and lower until the mountains s rocky face
became visible to us. and all was clear above
the clouds; then we could see the smoke rise
from the cannon every time it was fired
there was more than one of the cannoir)
and they kept up a pretty brisk fire for
some time after the clouds had settled below
them. If there was no enemy up there
why were these cannon firing? If there
was no fighting up there. why this great
waste OF ammunition? Yes. sir, there was
fighting above the clouds" on Lookout
Mountain, Nov. "a, 1853, and Gen. Hooker
was there to direct the Union forces all the
time.
Twas there; the smoke saw rise from the
cannon, heard the small arms, and have
every reason to believe that there was
heavy fighting going on, and during all
this time the clouds remained below. AT
IL o'clock that night l heard small arms
firing at point lower down upon the side
of the mountain. Clouds had disappeared.
and upon looking in the direction of the
sound l could see the fire as the charge
came out of the gun barrel, and by the
direction it took. judged it 10 be the Union
or the Confederate, as the case may have
been. 1t was long time ago, but / still

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l have
read with much interest an article in your

Ith Ohio Cav, partly i'll answer to an
article in the issue of Nov. IS, BY myself,
iii answer 10 Il former article by Col. Allen
and Col. Frank Wolford and the 1st XIV.
Cav. | regard the statement of Col. Allen
as coming from a gentleman and soldier.
disclaiming any intention of unfriendly
criticism of Col. Wolford or his regiment.
| believe every man who served in the 1st
KY. Cav, and has read Col. Aliens articles,
considering the spirit in which they appear
to have been written, will exonerate him
from any Intentional disrespcct 10 either
Col. Woiford or his regiment. Col. Allen
claims to have belonged to Wolford's cav
airy. but not 10 the 1st KY, therefore either
is safe i'll his hands.
His article reminds me of being in
Leavenworth. Kan, Il few years ago,
at a State Encampment of the GA. Il.
AT the grandstand a man was calling
regiments as requested. When comradc
john Wesley heard the 1st Ky. Cav. called,
alone responded, and there was a reunion
after 80 years separation. Wesley was

war Presently we heard Wolford's COM
mand called, then eight or 10 men rose
from as MANY reg gimentS, claiming to have
served with Wolford.
Having been part Of his cavalry, | am
proud that / had the honor Of serving in
such regiment that so many brave and
true soldiers will stand up in any part Of
our country and claim to have participated
with it. i am also proud of what the Union
army accomplished, and the record it made
as soldiers. | would not disparage the
fighting qualities of the Confederates. No
bravcr men ever drew the sword or shoulder
ed a gun in defense of any cause or cOun-
try. The fact remains that they main
tained the record OF American soldiers
as fighters on many hard-contested fields

dismounted, made at Dutton's Hill? We
were all un"a2y about our horses in the
ride. 1t made us fight better, for we did
not like TO walk. ] have often thought OF
that charge. and do not remember in all
my service where else everything was so
plain on all parts of the field. The 1st KY.
