Summary
| Description |
English: Engraving showing the expulsion of Confederate district attorney J.C. Ramsey from the army of General Felix Zollicoffer in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA early in the U.S. Civil War (1861–1865). According to Brownlow (who often made up or exaggerated facts), Ramsey was drummed out after being caught with more rations than he had been allotted. J.C. Ramsey was the son of prominent Knoxville historian J.G.M. Ramsey (author of the Annals of Tennessee) and the grandson of Col. Francis Alexander Ramsey, builder of the "Ramsey House," which still stands in South Knoxville. This engraving appears in Brownlow's book, Sketches of the Rise, Progress, and Decline of Secession. Brownlow had been quarreling with the Ramsey family since the 1840s. |
