Notes
Content: "The Christmas holidays were approaching, and there was much hilarity at Murfreesborough. Jefferson Davis made a flying visit thither. There were wedding festivities, at one of which the warlike Bishop Polk officiated, and the guests danced upon a floor where the hated Union flag served for a carpet, that it might be literally and boastfully 'trampled upon.'"--from source text.
Source note: Popular history of the United States, from the first discovery of the western hemisphere by the Northmen to the end of the Civil War. (New York : Scribner, c1876-1881) Bryant, William Cullen (1794-1878), Author.
