No section of the great Civil War suffered so enduringly as that which was the boundary line between the sections, and no part of the boundary suffered more from devastations of war in the passing to and fro of armed forces and from the raids of marauding bands, steel-heartened in quest of revenge, than did Fentress county.
Catal is this day in battle, though bound to peace in the presence of kings; Though Catal is without a father, his father is not without vengeance. Estimate his terrible revenge from the account of it related: He slew six men and fifty; he made sixteen devastations; I had my share like another in the revenge of Ragallac, I have the gray beard in my hand, of Maelbrigde son of Motlacan."
Over the beautiful plains of this country the devastations of war were frequently visible.
