"Surrender Hell"
"Surrender Hell", The Diary of Colonel Benjamin F. Caudill," by Shirley Combs is a desk-top published soft cover book giving the account of Colonel Caudill while he was imprisoned. In it he identifies many men of the 13th. Originally the 10th Kentucky Mounted Infantry, it later became the 13th Kentucky Cavalry, C.S.A. His writings were originally transcribed by Troy Back. Shirley has put this together with a history and stories given by his great granddaughter including, U.S. General Julius White's version of the Battle of Glades Ville, Virginia [7 July 1863] where "Flitterfoot" was taken prisoner. The book includes photos of Col. Caudill, his son and great granddaughter. I do not know at this time if "Flitterfoot" or "Wee Willy" Salyer or others in our genealogy are mentioned. If interestered, the book is available for $ 25.00 directly from Shirley Combs, 4943 Pleasant Ridge Road, The Dalles, Oregon 97058. Her e-mail is: combs@netcnct.net
