- History
- Claiborne's History of Terry's Texas Rangers
- "At one time, in November, 1861, only 78 out of the 1002 answered
roll call. From that day on, as they recovered from disease, they returned
for duty. They will never forget that winter in Kentucky. Let me call up,
(just to refresh the mind) Goose Neck, Bear Wallow, Horse Cave, Cave City,
Mammoth Cave, and the ever memorable Jimtown."
- History
- Reminiscences of the Terry Rangers by JKP Blackburn
- During the month of November, I think, there broke out
in camp a great epidemic of measles of a very violent form, which was no
respecter of persons seemingly, for most of the members had it, some in
milder form than others, but it seemed to touch every one. To show how general
it was in its attacks I quote from Henry Middlebrooks of our company. He
said his mother had told him he had measles when a babe and he had measles
when he was fifteen years old and he had them now so badly as to be rendered
unfit for duty and was discharged from the service. Captain Strobel's company
was first to lose a man from this epidemic, M. G. Harborough being the victim.
The hospitals at Nashville and many private houses were filled with the
sick and dying. I was sent to one of the hospitals where for weeks I was
kept alive by the best of nursing and attention of the good ladies of Nashville
who, in regular reliefs, nursed the sick night and day. God bless the good
ladies of Nashville. They will always have a warm place in my heart, for
my own mother could not have nursed me more carefully and constantly.
