Contents:

The right man in the right place

The Bluegrass

MissourI

On the Green River

Shiloh, the end of innocence

Partners in command

All the Kentuckians wanted to ride

December battles

We found pies hot from the oven

The boys were sorry that Duke was captured

A convivial evening in Philadelphia

The glory and chivalry seemed gone

We looked at each other in amazement

To perpetuate his fame

My prospects in that line were not brilliant

Salmagundi

A distinctively Southern magazine

Politics and panic

At the turn of the century

The disappointments of life should seem trivial.
