 It has been noted that only three hun dred men of the First Alabama reported for duty at the camps when we set out on our march from Island 10. and that Major Knox. instead of Colonel Steedman commanded the regiment atits surrender. This ratio of men on the rolls to number able for duty prevailed in all other com mands, so out of five thousand Confed- crates on the Island, abut fifteen hundred surrendered in line. The First had about one-third of its men Tn line. Why? Sick ness and death: measles, humps and pneumonia being epidemic among our numerous recruits. The First must have lost 400 men in the twenty-seven days of service here. and from the effects of that service afterwards in prison. Many died and were buried at Island 10 before the surrender.

 During the night General Mackail. who week before had superseded General. Mo Cam. capitulated. and next morning we were formed and matched without guns to the river bank in an open old field. and were formally surrendered to General Payne. General Mackall was much critt

 ed that our command would be sacrificed when sent to Island 10. General Brax' ton Bragg so informed Colonel Steeo- man several times since the war. It was done to hold Pope in check with an army of forty thousand men until Albert Sydney Johnston could attack Grant at shiloh The idea that Mackall could have hastily constructed barges and es- cape with his command across the Reel Foot Lake, which at this point was ten miles wide, is absurd Trns, few fugi- tiyes even some too sick to fall in hne' did this.
