Bushwhacking Of Gen. Bob Mecook

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The bush
whacking of Gen. Robt. McCook in his
ambulance was not understood in the
army at the time it happened as Comrade
Il. Ii. McCOrkle puts it. Gen. McCook
was not on his way home when shot, but
in the advance of his corps, sick, in an
ambulance going into the enemy's coun-
try. l never heard any one say that this
gallant commander begged for his life
on that deplorable occasion. | was near
the scene of the tragedy, under Nelson,
and know some of the methods this In
trepid fighter adopted to overtake the as
sassin, and have some knowledge of the
revenge that was meted out to those liv-
ing in the immediate neighborhOod of the
killing.
McCoOk's ambulance was fired into
without warning. If there were any ced-
ars growing in that vicinity, / mistook
them for scrub=oak of black jack, as the
boys called them at the time
By.whOse authority did Capt. Gurley car
ry off from a Northern prison a baIl-and-
chain, weighing, l suppose, some 80 or 40
pounds, all the way to his home in Ala
bama, where it now bans or bangs into
his ears Bob-Bob every time ne goes out

of the Rebellion.

til we convinced Gen. Sherman that the
proper way to conquer the rebellion was
to live off the country.
Before noon our fellows were carrying
chickens and pigs, canteens full of moas-
ses, and milk, and apple-jack, and other
good things too tedious to mention.
OF course, when Co. l boy, right in
the presence of Gen. NJ. l.. Smith, shot
couple of fat sheep, Gen. Smith re-
iterated a Sunday school lesson to him;
but The mutton tasted just as sweet.
We soon learned another lesson: That
fellow was scOlded not for the act, but
for being caught.
Indeed, we found out that after you
had your gun and 60 rounds of cartridges,
about all you needed was something to
eat; that if the enemy left something ly-
ing around loose, any 18th fellow was
always able TO look out for himself, get
his share, and that was the lesson Gen.
Grant learned from us; that 1t was pos
sible, for we demonstrated 1t on that trip,
for an army to go through an enemy's
country, gather up enough to live on, and
then leave it so bare that it would be no
object for them to try to come back to
get anything. As the gallant Sheridan

said about the Shenandoah Valley: "If |
a crow would fly across our trail he would
have to carry his rations along"
This may be cruel, but war is cruel and
harsh.

The nnti.Gomcz faction. led by San
