A SOUVENIR OF
Dr, Rudisill’s Eeathen
off a Yankee Can!
Dr. B, F. Rudisill, of this
has a little leather trunk that
prized more highly by him than
all the zinc bound Saratogas 111
the state. It is not that the
has a money value to it
makes it so dear to him, but
fact that a six pound cannon
■tired from the yankee artillery, at
Greenbrier River, Va., burst thro’
one end and lodged 011 the
of the trunk while it was lying
General Johnston’s
is the reason Dr. Rudisill
so much of this little souvenir
the war. Capt. T. B. Caban iss,
of this city, was 111 command
the picket force at
River in 1861, on the day men¬
tioned,and it was during a cannoi -
ading by the artilleries that the
shot was tired. The trunk was
placed 111 General Johnston’s
headquarters by Dr. Rudisill for
safe keeping, and it, was on the 8d
day of October 1861, that the can¬
non ball went sizzing through one
end of it. Dr. Rudisill
the ball home with him from the
war and let his brother have
111 some way it became lost and
little trunk is the only
loft him of that memorable ocoas-
1011.
