Captain Bledsoe's
Company passed Mr. West's with thirty prisoners. They also took the three that
we had been guarding since the 5th. Captain Bledsoe was instructed to take the
prisoners to Gainesboro and send them by steamer to Nashville. Captain Wm. L.
Horn, Company B, First Battalion, went to Nashville with these prisoners. His
horse fell on him while in Nashville and broke his leg, which had to be
amputated, and consequently he was not with us any more.
