man said " War is hell !"
he spoke with the au
thority of a man who
knew, for he probably
made war of that pe
culiar variety more ex
tensively than any other
man since the days of
some of the earlier European devasta
tions, when to make war meant to carry
fire and sword into the enemy's country.
North Carolina has had all that is justly
coming to her of experiences in war.
The revolution commenced here before it
had reached a sanguinary stage in any of
the other colonies, and it continued until
shortly before Cornwallis surrendered at
Yorktown. Several of the severe bat
tles of that war were fought in North
Carolina, and along with the battles was
the division of sentiment among the peo
ple which made local neighborhood strife
intense in manv sections.
out and with their more effective cannon
poured shot and shell into the helpless
fortifications. It is a singular instance
of war that after Commodore Stringhain
had ruined and captured the two fort?,
with about seven hundred of a garrison,
his report to the Navy Department at
Washington says: " I have no accident
to report to a single oJncer or man of the
navy, army or marines."'
Later came the encounters of Roanoke
J. sland and Newberne, with the attendant
expeditions up the sounds, and in season
to help c'ose the long and bitter conflict
Fort Fisher, below Wilmington, entered
the limelight and witnessed two ener
getic campaigns. North Carolina saw its
ihare of the Civil War; but it was all
more or less according to the rules of the
game until Sherman came. I am of the
opinion that then were introduced some
innovations that helped to bear out Sher
man's proverbial claim for war. AVhile
Sherman may be regarded as the leading
invader of this country, he was not the
only one who developed during the Civil
War. Bragg and Kirby Smith planned

"SHERMAN WENT UP THE ROAD TOWARD RALEIGH "
When the Civil War came there was
much difference of opinion, especially in
the mountain counties, and that added
some to the discomfort. But the con
spicuous feature of the Civil War was
Sherman's march from the sea to Raleigh.
Land and sea engagements down about
the coast had given eastern North Caro
lina a taste of real war from the early
days of the strife. Hatteras inlet was
one of the lively spots in 18G1, when in
August Commodore Stringham with a
fleet of war vessels, and Gen. Ben Butler
with his lop-sided eye and a land force,
sailed up one morning and gave a right
enthusiastic example of men shooting at
a fort on the land. Actually the battle at
Fort Hatteras was one of the stubbornly
contested engagements of the Civil War,
although it looks at the present day
to hve been one-sided. For two days
the fleet bombarded Forts Hatteras and
Clark, and the Are was briskly returned.
But the guns of the forts were not of suffi
cient power to reach the ships, which
suffered little damage as they kept farther
a right interesting affair over in East
Tennessee in 18G2. Bragg was at Chat
tanooga and Smith at Knoxville. Each
set out for a walk through Tennessee and
Kentucky, intending if the folks were at
home and agreeable to pay a visit at
Louisville and Cincinnati with some fifty
thousand troops, and the trimmings that
go to decorate an army equipped for war.
Smith had a little discussion with Gen
eral Munson at Richmond, Ky., and took
from him several thousand prisoners,
after which he arrived at Frankfort, the
capital of Kentucky, a town that has
become famous through Daniel Boone
and Theodore O'llara. It was Theodore
O'llara who wrote the poem when the
Kentucky troops killed in the Mexican
War were brought back home for burial.
His monument is a conspicuous sight
at Frankfort. His verses : " On fame's
eternal camping ground their silent tents
are spread," are on the tablet3 of every
national cemetery in the United States.
Bragg stopped in Kentucky to take sev
eral hundred Federal prisoners and fin-
