Harvey's Scouts
The command was composed of the best
materials, and they went without a murmur, wherever the
emergency demanded, and freely shed their blood in Georgia,
Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. Our own people here at
home, knew them best and loved them most. They knew that when
Harvey and his men were about, they had little to apprehend from
the raids of the enemy, or from those itinerant bands, the curse
of all civil wars, that follow on the flanks of both armies to
plunder and murder the unprotected and infirm. The jayhawkers
pillaged wherever they penetrated, and outraged humanity without
regard to age or sex. To protect communities from the scoundrels
was a special duty of the scouts. They were familiar with every
by path between Vicksburg and Natchez, and from Brandon to Yazoo
City, and manifested a ubiquity and promptitude almost
miraculous.
