He reached Knoxville on the 30th of December, and after spending two or three days with General Foster, came up to Strawberry Plains. The first intensity of the cold wave had passed by, but it was still ""zero weather"" when he came: indeed he had waited in Knoxville for a little moderating of the temperature, but finding that it continued very cold, his desire to complete the inspection hurried him on.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
