Confederate General Forrest raided
that city III August. 1861 and captured
many prisoners. the majority of them
being convalescent Federals in the hos
pitfalls there. Colonel Hepburn was
sent after Forrest with q wagon train
of provisions and clothing to be fur

and to the room where Forrest was
found sleeping In big rocking chair.
When Forrest awakened and saw Yan-
kee officers before him he reached for
his revolver, ready to give light, but
was quickly assured that they came
under a dag Of truce with supplies for
the prisoners. Forrest directed Colo.

where they went to sleep.
Early In the morning the supplies
were distributed. and Forrest took q
