Confederate Reminiscences.
Editor Courier:
I saw in your paper that you
wanted the old soldiers to write u
few lines so I thought I would give
a short sketch of my camp life.
I was in Capt. Lineberry's com
pany. We were in several skir
mishes and a few bottles, such as
Bluefield, Va., Gum Swamp "below
Kinston, N. C. Also Bi utonsville,
at which place we held our lines all
day. Finally the enemy was rein
forced and drove us from our breast
works. We lost several men. After
this we commenced to march and
continued for some time. Occasion
ally we would stop and fight for
awhile.
I was in Gen. Johnson's army
when he surrendered. I am now at
Elise N. C. working with the Ashe
boro Lumber & Manufacturing Co.
and'am a true Democrat. The
Courier is always a welcome visitor
at my home.
i ours truly,
P. A. Williams.
