for keen appetites I'll leave the coun-
try where "coons" pick the banjo and
'pickaninnies" dance, to visit the sect
ion Of my earliest recollections where

and Jackson, our far-famed Tennessee
drank to the dregs the cup at Shiloh,
Forts Donaldson and Henry, at Muir
freesboro and Shelbyville, at Chatta-
nooga, on Missionary Ridge, at Knox
Vile, and at Lookout Mountain, at
Franklin and Nash Vile.
