First Sentence:	During the late civil war, when East Tennessee had virtually passed into the hands of the Union forces, the Ohio and Tennessee Railroad, with its branches leading to Knoxville, Chattanooga, and other points, was almost constantly engaged in carrying bodies of troops and war material from one depot to the other, and was, therefore, indispensable to the continued occupancy of that portion of the country. (Good News edition)
Last Sentence:	He was then employed as an orderly on the staff of the officer commanding the department, with whom he was always a pet, and if he and his grandfather now do not own as fine a farm as there is in east Tennessee, all I have to say is that it is not the fault of Uncle Sam.
