I'm orderly sergeant of the fust company of the Riverlawn Cavalry. What's it all about?" asked Life, very tenderly for him. "Stephen Halliburn, who lives about half a mile over there, is my guardian.
The Riverlawn Cavalry, with its riflemen, were in the road some time before Captain Woodbine, mounted on a magnificent steed, arrived at the place of rendezvous. The company were at ease, and the aide-de-camp of the general rode directly to the head of the column and saluted the major.
There were several for Major Lyon and for his two sons. They were from home; and everything at Riverlawn was quiet and prosperous, with no evidences of war near the family. Levi Bedford kept a watch every night at the fort named after him, and the fifty-one negroes were as tractable as usual.
The two men, who were scouting in advance of the company, brought their carbines to the shoulder. "I reckon you needn't shoot, Keene," said the sergeant quietly. "Sergeant Knox!" cried the chief scout. "How came you here? Where is your company?" "They ain't fur from here. Are you piloting the second company of the Riverlawn Cavalry, Keene?" "Fox and me are treading down the mud for the company."
The Confederate troopers set up a yell loud and fierce enough to intimidate all the old ladies in the State if they could have heard it; but the Riverlawn Cavalry had heard it before, and its effect was to kindle the wrath of the members of the platoon. "Unsling your carbines, Life! Unsling your carbines, Fronklyn!" shouted Deck, as the flanking parties dashed into the two fields.
"I have known such a rain to continue for several days; for I live over in Whitley County, in the mountains, about thirty-five miles east of Mill Springs."

I have heard all about the Riverlawn Cavalry, as your son says you prefer to call it.
He hitched them in the barn with the exhausted soldiers of the Riverlawn Cavalry, though it was rather close quarters for them. Deck preferred the out-building to Cuffy's bed, which he offered them.
The plantation had been given to his younger brother, greatly to the dissatisfaction of the elder one. Titus Lyon, the other surviving brother, was an entirely different kind of man from Noah, as the original owner of Riverlawn was well aware when he gave the place to his younger brother. All of them had come from New Hampshire, the colonel in his early manhood, and Titus a few years before Noah.
Such ruffians as those against whom the battle of Riverlawn was fought, at an earlier stage of the war, had found their way to a greater or less extent into the Union army.
The command arrived at Columbia, from which Major Lyon sent the first company towards Mill Springs, where the enemy were reported to be, by the way of Liberty and Miltonville. The second company were to proceed by Millersville and Jamestown, with the same objective point in view. Captain Gordon was in command of the first company of the Riverlawn Cavalry.
