The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-07-02

Federals held this position till 7:30 D.
 m.. Sept. goth, after repulsing the en- | emy."
 The marker below says the brigade retired for want of ammunition. Col Harvey E. Jones was General Gracie's
 Adjutant General and rode from hill
 with dispatches from General Oracle l to General Preston asking for rein-
 forcements, as recorded in Historical Magazine
 Your historian had the privilege of
 following the line of march of Gracie's
 men, and the charge that made history for his gallant Alabamians." We | began from where the brigade was
 held in reserve near General Buckner's
 headquarters until they moved to
 Dyer's farm. where, guided by one of | that family, they swept round the hill by the brave Kershaw and carried their
 colors to crest of Snodgrass Hill On
 top of that worldrenowned hill are
 many Federal monuments to States and individuals, none to Alabama; not
 even a stone to show the high-water
 mark of that great battle. Two guns
 belonging to the battery of our gall
 lant Colonel Dent stand as grim sem
 tinels, proclaiming we carried this
 crest.
 Four Southern States have placed
 monuments to the memory of their
 sons, Tennessee. Kentucky, South Car
 olina and Georgia. North Carolina is
 to unveil one on September 1920, this
 anniversary of battle. Georgia not
 only has a magnif1cent monument ito
 those who fought and fell. and those
 who fought and lived," but wherever she had regiment, there she has placed tablet of stone bearing rec | ord of her sons.
 After spending three days at Chick
 amauga and nearing the position of
 each brigade, division and corps dis
 cussed makes me thoroughly conver-
 sant with Alabama commands and I
 could fancy how each looked In battle
 array on those faterul September days On site of what was known as the
 Widow Glenn's House" Is the Wilder
 monument built !n form of tower and
 overlooking the field, at the foot Is
 what was called the bloody pond where
 men and horses dragged themselves
 thither. It Is said the water was red | with their blood. now 1t is dry and no | vestige Of the struggle remains. | The Park Commissioners desire to | keep the park just as 1t was during
 the battle but of course Dame Nature | aided by man, has made some changes. | The old log houses are still standing
 but fast failing into decay. Each l flower seemed as if 1t had sprung l llolH IHe l1ItDlDOu O1 some brave man. | Phantom hosts seemed again to spring
 into being as we gazed on markers | bearing the names we knew so well. | And such were the feelings engendered | by our surroundings that the sound of | a bugle at the nearby military post | seemed q fitting ending to our visit. How well 1t would be for the youth | of the South to visit the battlcfie1ds and be impressed with the valor of haI fnt n, r0lr Mountain where was fought The Rat tie of the Clouds" the State of New York is building a Peace Monument 10 both armies. The base of the monu- ] ment is fifty feet high and Is of rock. the monument itself will soar into space, 1t will be of New York granite. The enclosure is modelled after the city
 walls and gate of old St. Augustine. Fla.
 I am sure the Alabama Division L. D. C., are greatly pleased that Hon. | Thomas Nj. Owen was chosen as Com
 mander in chief of S. c. V. He nas ever shown himself willing to aid the Daughters and we congratulate the
 Sons on their choice. In honoring him
 they have honored themselves. NJ. N. J. Salt Lake, June 19. My Dear Mrs. Harvey E.
