Terry's Texas Rangers by L. B. Giles
Chapter 11. East Tennessee Campaign
"...It was not long before the society men of the regiment acquired thehabit of slipping out after evening roll call to enjoy a game of cards atGeneral Smith's. One night several of them, a lieutenant, a clerk of thequartermaster's department, and one or two others, crossed the river in asmall skiff and were soon pleasantly engaged in the fascinating game ofeuchre with the young ladies. Suddenly there was a cry of "Halt Halt "and pistol shots rang out on the night air. Out went the lights, and thevisitors rushed for doors and windows, knocking over chairs, tables, andeven the young women. They rushed to the river, plunged in and across,and made for their companies. The first alarm was plainly heard in thecamp. Sharp orders to "saddle up" were given and repeated from company tocompany, and the brigade was soon in line. Colonel Harrison sent Tom Gilland a small party to ascertain the cause of the row. Tom passed GeneralSmith's, where all was dark, and went on to the picket stand. Picketsreported all quiet; no enemy had passed their post. Tom returned to thehouse, where he met Joe Rogers. It appeared that Joe had not run with theothers at the first alarm. He had gone out the back way to look after Nigand his equipment. While getting these he heard voices, accompanied withlaughter, and the voices seemed somewhat familiar. Peeping around thehouse he soon ascertained that the alarm had been caused by three or fourRangers. He reported the cause of the disturbance to Gill and hisscouting party, and Gill reported it to Colonel Harrison...."

Claiborne's History of Terry's Texas Rangers (Part 4)
A Confederate Cavalry Regiment Engaged in the Unfortunate War Between theStates
NEW BIRMINGHAM TIMES, undated clipping, 1891.
"The information that Gen. Longstreet had, regarding the fortification atKnoxville and the number and conditions, were all very poor; his scoutshad not been as reliable as they should have been. Burnside had aGibraltar at Knoxville that the whole of Lee's army could not have takenby a storm. None of the men who participated in the siege can ever forgetit, (if they were cavalrymen), the area of territory to be guarded wasvery large, and the number of men to do it with was small, the duty ofthe Rangers was double from cause and condition, they had the Holsteinand French Broad rivers to cross twice each, in twenty-four hours. TheHolstein was swollen to an unusual width, and the current ran at the rateof ten or twelve miles to the hour; many of the horses were weak frompoverty, and, indeed unfit for service. The horses of the Rangers were inbetter condition than the cavalry of some of the other commands; in fact,Harrison's whole brigade took great good care of their horses. It was oneof the duties of Harrison's brigade to take the ford below the othertroops, and as the poor fellows above were swept from their horses, ortheir horses gave away, to rescue the rider from the watery grave. (Weremember to have seen private Tom Gill with an Alabamian by the hair ineach hand struggling to the shore, and he successfully accomplishedlanding them, and put back after others.) If I am correct in myrecollection, the crossing was never made but one time in daylight,always in the early morn between 5 and 6 o'clock, and at night between 10and 11 o'clock. Night and morning, after night and morning, did these menswim those swollen streams, and before reaching the top of the bankstheir thin clothes were stiff with ice, while the mane, tails and longhair of the horses was a solid icicle. If the Veteran Ranger suffered,how much greater was it to those who attempted to keep pace with them,and who knew no experience in former hardships. At last the great chargewas made on Star Fort, and the Confederates repulsed with a large, infact, irreparable heavy loss, and the siege of many days is raised andabandoned, while the rigor of the winter in increased.
"[NOTE.--There were notwithstanding the character of this service, veryfew of the Rangers who became sick the recollection is that not half adozen left for the hospital, when ordinarily it would seem that no humanbeing could stand it, but as age creeps on the survivor and you see hisneat forms, hands drawn, rheumatism is a marked feature, and beforereaching the age of 69 most all of them drop into the grave, and the germwas planted on this eventful campaign.]"
