Four or six Of Rhetts men were sitting
on the rails around the fire when Rhett
was put in the pen. He at once ordered
the men to the other side OF the pen
away from the fire. and where ii was
very smoky. They promptly refused,
saying, I'VE do not have to obey your
- orders now" This is what Nelson
Minot told US boys that night. The next
morning. March Is, the cavalry renewed

back with the wagon train. was one
or the drivers Of a caisson, and had
nothing to do, so walked down to the
pen where the prisoners were and saw
Col. Rhett sitting on a rail surrounded
by his men, who were abusing him with
their tongues the worst way. They told
the guards to turn their backs and give
them chance to kill Rhett. One Of
our boys standing around asked why
they wanted to Kill him, and one Johnny
spoke up and said: HE killed my BROTH
er; that's why" The Johnny said his
brother was a boy Of Is, and when on
the march from Charleston they camped
one night near his home; he wanted to
go and see his mother. Rhett would
not let him go, but the boy did go, and
the next morning Rhett called him out
and shot him. The Johnnies all said
that Rhett was very cruel to his men.
He was a fine-looking man, but you
could see by the snap I'm his eye that
you couldn't fool with him. Some time
during the afternoon the prisoners were
all taken away, Rhett with them; 1 do
not know where, but most likely to Gen.
Davis's headquarters. There is a story
that Gen. Fitzpatrick told a private SOL
der that he could have Rhett's boots,
which were nice new pair, If they

Rhetts great satisfaction they were too

various regiments and batteries, there
IS common agreement that the Gen.
eral was moving around the field con-
tinually. He seemed to be everywhere.
Although he appeared like q calm and
dignihed old gentleman when he took
command Of the corps two days before,
on this fatal morning he was the per-

There are also shadowy hints from
various sources that a Lieutenant OF
cavalry, name and regiment not stated,
lost his opportunity for q day OF glory
by too frequent sips Of what was known
as "commissary.
Gen. Forsyth writes (1891) that he
was sent by Mansfield to bring up the
divisions OF the corps" and that he
was not with Gen. Mansfield when he
received his death-wound."
MAJ. Dyer writes assn:

says that Rhett was captured at the
battle Of Bentonville, which is also a
mistake. Col Rhett's Brigade took par.
in both Averasboro and Bentonville. but
he was captured at Averasboro. 7 will
now tell what know about it.
Gen. Fitzpatrick crossed Cape Fear
River with his division Of cavalry. On
the morning Of March Is, 1865. he
marched toward Averasboro, and when
near that place went into camp. Just

with two Of his Aids, bringing them that
evening to Kilpatrick's headquarters,
which were about 10 rods from the bat

to Jefferson c. Davis's headquarters on
the evening Of March Is, but that is a
mistake. He may have been taken there
