"Ranaway, a negro by the name of Joshua he has a cut across one of his ears, which he will conceal as much as possible one of his ankles is enlarged by an ulcer." Mr. William Stansell, Picksville, Ala. in the "Huntsville Democrat", August 29, 1837.
We've been through some hard days, and I seem to have known you a long time." Jennie appeared shy, almost sad, so Duane changed the subject to something less personal.

"If Mitchel has captured Huntsville, then some of Beauregard's troops are split, and that's probably the reason why I'm ordered to get this powder up as far as I can.

When his master got him back, he tied him by his hands so that his feet could just touch the ground stripped off his clothes, took a paddle, bored full of holes, and paddled him leisurely all day long.
This Pike proved to be a singular character; his manner attracted my notice at once, and I got him a horse, and had him travel with us eastward to about Elkton, whence I sent him back to General Crook at Huntsville; but told him, if I could ever do him a personal service, he might apply to me.
I am very anxious to get back. It is very wearying at these public places and the benefit hardly worth the cost. I do not think I can even stand Lexington long.
