HOW JOHN WISDOM HELPED
FORREST SAVE ROME, GA.
BY WALTER HARPER

John II. Wisdom, a life long cit
lien of Etowah county, died at his
home at Hokes Bluff, 10 miles east
of Gadsden. on July %, 1909. He was
SO years of age and one of the sub
ntial citizens of the county.
was extremely modest and fol
reason but little has ever beer
sown or said about the browning
exploit of his life, which saved city
resulted in the capture 70 four regi-
nents of federal soldiers and placed
aim in the class of war heroes though
he has never been given full credit
for these achievements.
John Wisdom and Emma Samson were
Jointly responsible for the saving OF
Rome, Ga, and the capture of Colonel
Streight's raiders by General Forrest
though neither of these heroes was
aware of the part that the other was
playing at the time.
Hurried to Rome
Shortly after Emma Samson had di-
rected General Forrest over Black
cree John Wisdom, who had that
morning crossed the Coosa river for
several miles on a business trip, re-
turned and found that the federals had
been in Gadsden and had proceeded to-
ward Rome. The enemy had cut a
hole in the bottom of the ferry boat
of which he was the proprietor and

trouble, but to avoid this General For
rest separated the officers from the men,
placing the privates under guard near
the fork of the river, and putting the
officers in the courthouse, a quarter of
q. mile away from their men.
Not Sent BY Forrest
1T has been enormously stated that
was sent by General Forrest from Gads-
den to Rome to advise the people of the
coming of the raiders. This Is incorrect,
for I knew nothing of General Forrest
being in pursuit of the raiders until he
marched into Rome with them prisoners
on the evening of May 3.
AS a token of their gratitude for my
ride from Gadsden to Rome, the Rome
people made be a present of a silver
service valued at $500, which l now have
and prize very highly. They also gave
me $500 in money and sent the Widow
Hanks $500 for giving me the use of the
lame poney on my ride, all of which was
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-09-11

very highly appreciated by both Mrs
Hanks and mself."
At the time Wisdom started on his ride
to Rome he did not know that General
Forrest was following Streight or that
Emma SAMSON had performed her dar-
ing feat in helping along the spectacular
chase.
Streight's Official Report
According to the official reports of Col,
Abel D. Streight, made after his escape
from Liberty prison, to the department
of union forces, August %, 1884, John
Wisdom was directly responsible for the
surrender of his forces to General For
rest.
The following extract from Streight's
official report is significant:
after some maneuvering Forrest sent
ina flag of truce demanding the sur
called council of war. l had previ-
ously learned, however, in the meantime
; that Captain Russell had been unable to

had cut it loose to float away down
the river.
When he saw what had been dona
and realized the dangerous position of
Rome Co., he called to neigbor
across the river to notify his family
that he had gone to warn Rome of its
danger
On horseback John Wisdom hurried
to Rome that night, making the DIS
dance, 81 miles, in little less thsn
seven hours.
In tie early revolutionary days Paul
Revere rode from Boston to Concord,
a distance of IS miles, to warn the
citizens of the approach of the British
soldiers. His act has been the sub
ject of song and story for more than
and daring feat OF John Wisdom is
known to but a comparative few in
Alabama and Georgia.
wisdom Tells story
John Wisdom was a mail contractor
for the Confederate government and
was, therefore, not an enlisted soldier
in the army.
A short while before he died last
year w. p Lay of Gadsden visited
John Wisdom at his home at Hokes
Bluff and induced him to tell the story
of his ride to Rome.
Mr.. Wisdoms statement was taken
by a stenographer and has been pre-
served with great care by Mr.. Lay,
who is one of the leading citizens not
only of Gadsden but of Alabama.
Following is the story in Mr.. Wis
doms own words, beginning where he
returned to the river on the afternoon
of May 2, 1868, and found that
Strengths men had proceeded toward
Rome:
WisdOm's Story
