Re: 13th Ala travel Montgomery to Virginia

Another travel tidbit.

Soon after Fort Sumter,

"Trainloads of soldiers, some with cars filled to their roofs with men, now began passing continuously from Chattanooga past the Hooke and Devine homes to points north. One soldier threw young Mary Divine a large red apple tied to a shingle, on which was written, 'Though I go to death and danger, please remember the Texas ranger.'"
