there. If we foraged in the rear he
was there.
lie used his cavalry to prevent us
from living off the country In our front
aud to scare MS out nf the country in
our rear. He was nearly always Just
where we didn't want him to be, and
had no mercy on wagons loaded with
provisions or with the mules drawing
the wagons. His mcu burned the
wagons and s3bercd the mules, and a
good many transfers lived in the hope

Wheeler Just what they thought of him.
