(Geo) was taken prisoner first thing this morning

May SATURDAY 23, 1863

Poor [George] Dashiell1 was taken prisoner first thing this morning—two Regts of Yanks in front of the gate, before we knew anything of it. My uneasiness about Geo is now solved, they took also, three Negros Elam, Lee, and Ben, horses for cash.


  1. Captain George Dashiell, chief paymaster to Nathan Bedford Forrest’s cavalry corps.
