Book Description
Excerpt from Wanderings North and South The "Testimony of a Refugee from East Tennessee," being the first of the four articles contained in this little volume, was published more than two years ago, and shortly after my having left the, so-called, Confederate States. Having revisited East Tennessee in the course of this year, the changes I met with and the change which in many respects had taken place in my own views, has given rise to the second article, "Sketches of East Tennessee Life." The third article, "Life And Death of a Christian Soldier," which appeared some time ago in the Episcopal Recorder, exhibits a combination of christian faithfulness and self-sacrificing loyalty. The reappearance of it will be welcomed, I know, by many. The last article, "The Turners Lane Hospital," bears marks of the haste with which it has been prepared. Our time is a time for deeds, rather than for the recording of deeds. From my intimacy with some of the hospital chaplains, I know that this is the cause of their silence. The Turner's Lane Hospital, is a small one, in comparison with some others; it can accommodate only about three hundred patients; still what I have said about it will prove I trust not altogether void of instruction as well as interest.
