Confederate recollections of Withers of Lexington, Ky., emphasizing humor, pathos, and adventure.

He also served with Gen. John Hunt Morgan's partisans in eastern Tennessee and western Virginia, was captured in the same engagement in which Morgan was killed, escaped from prison to Canada, and returned to the South by way of Cuba.
