Letter From Jesse Hainline.


Seelbach Hotel, Louisville, KY
Oct. IS, 1914.
Editor of Advocate,
Mt. Sterling, Ky.
My Dear Sir:-
AS my trip with DR.. Snyder i:
rapidly drawing to close, wish
to tell my friends something Of
my experiences since | wrote my
last letter.
After reaching Kansas City
Mo-, on September 10th, l went a,
once to Hotel Baltimore, the most
beautiful hotel have ever seen
in all my travels East and West
North and South, where l felt
very much at home, as every one
is made comfortable and receives
the greatest courtesies. On the
10Th day of September l cele-
brated my 18th birthday at the
Hotel Baltimore and enjoyed a
great feast, prepared by DR..
Snyder, who is always on the
lookout to do something for some
one else. We remained at Kansas
City until Sept. 22nd, when we
left for Davenport, Iowa, Rock
Island and Moline, ILL.,, called the
tri-cities, which have large manu-
featuring industries. On Thurs
day night, Sept. 24th, we left for
St. Louis, where we boarded on
the evening of Friday, Sept, 18th,
Steamer St. Louis" of the St.
Louis and Tennessee River Pack
ct Co., for a trip on three beauti-
full rivers, the Mississippi, Ohio,
and Tennessee, along the shores
of six different States, including
Kentucky, bound for Shiloh Bat
tlefield and Waterloo, Ala. On
the way we stopped at many riv
er towns. 1t was very beauti-
full trip indeed, constantly wind
ing and always seeing something
new. Just before reaching Cairo,
~, | saw where the Mississippi
and Ohio Rivers came together
and soon after leaving Paducd1,
KY, | watched the Tennessee
River flowing into the Ohio. On
Monday morning, Sept. 18th, the
boat stopped at Clinton, Tenn,
for two hours and DR.. Snyder
took occasion to deliver an ad-
dress to the students of the High
School of that town on the theme
of Universal Peace" On Tues
day, Sept. goth, about 6 o'clock
in the evening the boat stopped
for a couple OF hours at Savannah,
Tenn, the town where General
Grant made his headquarters dur
ing the campaign that terminated
in the battle of Shiloh. Here
he was eating breakfast in the
house of Mr.. Cherry, April 9th,
1862, when he heard the opening
guns of the battle and FASTENED
to the field. The Cherry resi-
dence still stands near the river
bank and the rooms used by
General Grant remain intact
just as when occupied by him.
Peculiar interest attaches to
Crump's landing near Savannah,
as the headquarters of Gen. Lew
Wallace, who marched from this
point to aid Gen. Grant at Shiloh.
General Wallace wasn't only a
brave General and soldier, but a
great author as we'll and had the

When the faithful students of

cal World that a Toxin would

beautifully dramatized and plac.
ed in all its spectacular beauty
before the world. After four
days sail we reached, at mid
night, Shiloh Battlefield, wnere
the captain of the St. Louis, a
very kind man, took us with liant
ems through the historic spots Of
Shiloh, a field of about 1900
acres, which, by Act of Congress
in 1894 was designated as Shiloh
National Military Park. The
tract has been improved with rs
miles of graveled roads and drives
along the exact lines of the roads
existing at the time of the BATTLE,
by erecting tablets, monuments,
markers and signs to the number
of 65I. These tablets and mark
ers enable visitors to understand
readily the important events of
the battle. The tablets, painted
in colors to represent the three
armies-blue for Grants. yellow
for Buell's of the Union army and
red for the Confederate army
are placed in the position occu-
pied by the troops at the hours
designated, and the tablets face
in the same direction that the
troups faced in the line of battle
The square tablets represent po-
sitions on the first day, the oval
tablets the positions on the Sec
ond day.
Five Generals were killed in
the battle, Gen. w. H. L. Wal
lace, Gen. Peabody, Gen. Raith,
of the Union army, and Gen
Johnston and Gen. GLADDEN. of the
Confederate army. The places
where these leaders fell are mark
ed by especially designated
mortuary monuments, composed
of 20 pound Parrot guns and
cannon balls.
The general headquarters of
Sherman, Mcclellan, Hurlbut,
Prentiss and Wallace, and nine
brigade headquarters, are marked
by imposing pyramids of cannon
balls. The different States have
erected costly and beautiful NOR.
uments in commemoration of
these troops that fell in the battle.
| stood also at the grave which
holds the remains of I5-year-old
Shiloh drummer boy, who also
fell in the battle where for two
days, April 9th and 9Th, 1862,
was stubbornly fought, one of the
6ercest battles of the Civil War
Early in the morning of We'd
nesday, Sept. goth, we returned
by steamer St. Louis as far as
Jacksonville, Tenn, where we
boarded the train for Chatta-
nooga. Upon arrival there on
Wednesday, Oct. Ist, we drove to
Eagle Cliff, Ca, and were well
coined at the home of friends of
DR.. Snyder, located near the loot
of Lookout Mountain" where
We spent a most delightful visit
for several days. There l met
some of the boys in which Dr.
Snyder is interested and WI y
made the trip with us to Look
out Mountain, where the famous
battle was fought above the
clouds.
When the incline car had reach
ed the summit, we arrived in the
midst of a thick cloud which
seemed to cover the entire noun
tain as l couldn't see ten feet
ahead of me and received an idea
of how difficult it must have been
for the soldiers of three armies,
fighting side by side in the awful
battle, where they were forc"1
to throw shells and boulders by
hand.
Our friends led us the way I'M

Grafton for the guides themselves
certain hours and routes are fix
ed. -Four routes are mapped out
commonly known as route I, 2
3 and 4. Among the things in
the cave | admired most were the
statue of Martha Washington,
which is represented through the
formation of the rocks and beau
tifully lighted from the distance
then the Bottomless Pit, the boat
ride on Echo River, the Old Arm
Chair, the Acute Angle, the Cork
screw, Lovers Leap, Violet
Chamber, Chief City, Grand Por-
tai and others. AS it is impos-
sible to write in this space all my
impressions of the Mammoth
Cave and to give all the particu-
lars, | shall endeavor to say some
thing more about it some future
time.
Let me add, however, that the
Mammoth Cave was found in
1902 by a bear hunter who traced
wounded bear into the cave.
His name was Hutchins. He did
not enter the cave, however. II
might be of interest to state that
if any one should visit the cave
in the near future, should ask
for Bishop, the guide, who knows
the cave as any one knows his
home and its surroundings. Bish-
OPP has explored many portion s
of the Mammoth Cave and loves
to show people through it and
inspires any one who may be for
tunate enough to be under his
guidance while visiting the
secrets of the underworld.
On Wedn esday, Oct. 18th, /
left for Hodgenville, KY, where
l visited Memorial Hall on Lin
coin Farm, which holds the cabin
home of the late President,
Abraham Lincoln. This Is All
other place in this great country
of ours which every Kentucky
boy and girl, yes, every man and
woman, ought to visit. 1t is not
only a historic spot but a place
of inspiration, where a humble
Kentucky boy was raised in a
log cabin home and rose to the
greatest place within the gift
OF the American people. On
Thursday, Oct. 18th, l reached
Louisville, a most interesting and
very busy city, the last stop
ping place before my return to
my home town.
Four months | have spent with
DR.. Snyder. l have learned
great many lessons from the
Book of Life, have met many
men of al walks of life and many
boys who possessed various
ideas and ideals. l have met
many friends of DR.. Snyder, l
say many, for he has friends ev-
erywhere, in every city, town or
village. | have travelled many
thousands of miles, East, West,
North and South, l have sailed
the ocean, the lakes and the riv-
ers and have travelled by rail to
mountains, caves and cities and
it has been a grand and wonder
full trip, full of valuable exper-
fences and education for years tc
come.
| am now ready to resume my
studies anew at school, but |
must admit that l regret to leave
DR.. Snyder. He has been most
kind to me. He has been d
father and mother to me and !
shall always hold him as a true
and loving friend.
To say that | appreciate his
kindness is only mild exp,vs.
sion, but | want him and all my
friends to know that no father
and mother can be more faith
ful and deyofad m THAR children
